HON. 0. H. B. BLQODWORTH,
OF FORSYTH, GA.,
Candidate for Congress
from the Sixth Con
gressional District
Tne Advertiser - desires at the
very outset to eXfeftd to Judge
B irtlett its assurance - of its kind
ly regard for him 1 . We write
these lines not that we'rfte opposed
to Judge Bartlett but hCY'aUse we
are intensely and entTVrt'sfasflenlly
in favor of Mr. Blood worth' .-
It has been suggested that if
Judge Bartlett is given “die I(*mr
mor ,” he will then gracefully re
tire and leave the congressiona
arena to others, .lodge
retire ! No man lias i ver yet
ensed the Judge ot being of a re.
tiring disposition. At the end of
i his fourth term, if we remember
f aright, l.e asktd itr ‘ne term
1 more-” and got it. At the end of
i bis fiftn term he asked for “one
more term” and got it. At the
and oi Jifs sixtn term he asked lor
‘one term mQfe,” uud got it. Now
as his seventh jerm draws to a
lolosj, JxcMsksfor • ojietermm;»re.”
A'liy if Jadge Bartb'if is still in
confess when the iflltletiiuin
com**, lie wlil be I'om.d lifting
ins vc**?e on high and crying to'
Peter tv postpone the millpnimA)
until hweam have “one term
more.”
It. lias bee# Jhiggesfed that when
Judge Bartlett) huy served another
term and is tkr retire, Bibb
county will stand- hack and let the
congressman conns' from other
counties. Bibb county stand back?
Since when? Bibb is a* great and
splendid county and Mas- every
good quality except modesty,, but
no man lias ever yet discovered
the slightest trace of modesty in
the makeup of Bibb county. When
Jim Blount, great and good man
that he was, had served eighteen*
years and had fierce opposition l
Bibb county said to Monroe, “Elect
Blount one more term, and then
vve’ll let yon have the congress
man/' Blount got his “one more
term” and retired. Did Bibb
county then stand aside? Ask
Charley Bartlett. If Saint Peter
ever resigns the post of doorkee]*-
erin Paradise Bibb county will
have a man on hand to ask for the
vacant job. Captain Cabaniss got
one term in congress, opposed for
that one term by Bibb county.
; Tnen Bibb county denied to Mon
roe county the customary courtesy
iof a second term. Gallant Tom
i 1 al'ani.-s went down in defeat and
i dashing Bob Whitfield went to bis
\grave with » broken while
Bibb county took the congressman
“for keeps ” Bibb county stand
aside when Bartlett gets tired of
sitting on the lid? Well, not so
as you could notice it! Bibb coun
ty has several men as able and as
ambitious as Judge Bartlett, and
the moment he steps aside some
ether Bibb county man will take
his place in the lists.
It has been suggested that the
next congress will have a demo
cratic house and that then Judge
Bartlett will be in a position to do
“conspicuous service” for liis dis
trict. This lias been Judge Bart
la.lt’s companion etf to his “one
term more” for several years ; and
each time ye hdf# been disap
pointed in our hope of' .*» democrat
Ironse,. and the “conspicuous
ha# not yet come.
11. Mi Yr been suggested that Bibb
county flj'su’ largo and important
t.iia *■ it i:J &m'lsK entitled to have a
personal ddprbSp’irtative in con
gress. ConcMir *'yen 1 this, Geor
gia's beloved uh‘d' d'i'stingnUht'd
senior senator L&tf’ju&’tf llb'Cn o'iecfc
ed for another si.\' : ybatk/ and finks
us perhaps the able#? cl^'rtH.'bi v at in
the senate. He iivesoy J ßfb‘t^boun-
ty and has lived there afll h‘i^ s lif«.
It Bibbcouuty is so a»
to need a personal repres?di l tli'tivie,
| behold Senator Bacon !
It lias been suggested that r
Bartlett should be re-elected b&>
canse be knows lbs district iCb'd**
people so well. Granted that He’
know# them. Seven of the ten?
counties in the sixth congressional
district are also in the Flint judi
cial circuit, and Mr. Bloodworth
has traveled the Flint* circuit, for
fourteen year* as a so.lcitor gen
eral. In the remaining three
counties of Bibb, Baldwin and
Jones, Mr. Bloodworth lias hosts
of persyna) friends and numbers
of kinsmen, many of whom bear
his own UMtne We believe that
Mr. Blood'wortli knows more peo
ple in the sixth district by sight
ami by name than even Judge
Bartlett does, avid we believe that
he has as marlf; ithd fe'Fefl
strong personal Mends than has*
the present distinguished repre
sentative. Should Mr. Blood
worth go to congress, he would do
so with a thorough knowledge of
his district and its needs, with an
intimate acquaintance with Ills
people and their desires.
Just a word more. For the past
thirty-six years the representative
in congress from the sixth district
has been a democrat, and for thir
ty-four years out. of the thirty six
that representative has been from
Bibb comity. Bibb county lias
monopolized the congressman to
the exclusion of the other nine
counties. Should the sixth dis
trict abandon* tilCgonventiui? plail
of nomination for ih’iit b'y popular
vote, the heavy vok m'Assed in
Bibb would tend to »MV further
strengthen Bibb’s monopoly upon
the congressmen from our district.
We submit that in simple fairness
Bibb county should not always'
furnish the congressman to the
litter exelusion of the other nine
this district.

w'e' th»»k him for what fiasr
dlortfe’ tw the district. But yfith*
all trite and for all this, we rfe
spectfttWy snbmit that fourteerf’
years in' et>ngress has been a snf '
ticient reward for all that Judge'
Bartlett ha's-done. We respectful
ly submit thwfc the time has come
to make a ctemge and to send to
congress fraai this district a
younger and'a stronger and a bet
ter man. And we respectfully
submit that Mr. Blood worth is
that man —EditorSal in Monroe
