HAWES. . “El’aertoft, Ga., May 7, I ___ To the People Georgia. lam a candidate for State Treasurer subject to the action of the Democratic party at the approaching primary for the selection of State House Officers. Long am* faithful service in that office as Treasurer and as Assistant Treasurer covering a period of tewnty years with out censure or complaint from any source is the platform upon which my candidacy is based. On this record I beg the support of the people. Respectfully, W. J. SPEER. FOR CONGRESS. lain a candidate for renomination to the office of Representative in Congress from the Sixth District in the primary election, which, under the law,, will be held next August. I believe that my record as a Represen tative, of which I invite the closest scru tiny, justifies me in saying that I have discharged every duty and obligation to the people who have honored me with that high and responsible office. During the entire period of my service in the House, I have been faced by a Republi can majority, strongly adverse in senti ment ami policy to the best interests of the people of my section, but my record here will demonstrate that in every word I have spoken and in every vote I have cast, I have had an eve single to the hon or and welfare of the people 1 represent. Whether my duty as a Representative has called me to resist the insiduous at tempts that are being constantly made to undermine the sovereign dignity of the State, to oppose the encroachments of organized monopoly upon the rights and substance of the people, or to defend the institutions and glorious traditions of our own section, I have responded to that pall with all the force ayd vigor of j my being. As the Representative of aj free people, I have denounced tyranny in whatever form it has appeared, and ac tively participated in the movement to wrest the control of the House from the arrogant despotism that has been erected in the people’s forum by the Speaker and his Committee on Rules. My record in this and all other matters will most con clusively show that I have never on any occasion faltered or hesitated in the course of duty dictated by perfect loyalty to my constituents and party. Believing that my long experience will enable me to serve more efficiently the people of the District in the next House, which, from all indications, will.be Dem ocratic, and with grateful appreciation of their support and confidence in the past, I ask a renomination at the hands of my constituency.
