REPRESENTATIVE BURLESON,
OF TEXAS, WRITES CON=
QRESSMAN BARTLETT
ABOUT HIS RACE.
Below is a letter that speaks
for itself. Mr. Burleson is one of
theleaders onthedemocraticsideof
the house of representatives. He
has served in the house fourteen
years and is the seoond member
of the great committee on appro
priations. He is besides a mem
ber of the Woodrow Wilson cam
paign committee .and has been
made the director of the speaking
bureau. His letter is a just trib

Washington, D. C., July 29,1912.
Hon. Charles L. Bartlett, Member
of Congress, Macon Ga.:
My Dear Judge—After this
week I am to be in New York, in
connection with my duties as one
of the campaign committee, and
my address will be “Care Wilson
Headquarters, Fifth Avenue
Building.” I will be glad to have
a line from you telling me how
your campaign progresses.
I have heard something of the
outrageous and unjust arguments
being used against you, the most
silly one being that you have no
standing with your colleagues,
and as proof of it you are now
only on one committee (appro
priations.) I presume that, of
course, the fact is studiously con
cealed that a member of congress

who is on either of the two most
important house committees (ap
propriations and ways and means)
is not permitted on another, be
cause of the onerous duties im
posed by such assignment. This
rule applies to Mr. Underwood
and to Mr. Fitzgerald, and to every
other man on these committees.
I supDOse, also, no mention is
made of the fact that you are the
chairman of the sub-committee
having in charge the bill which
carries the largest appropration
of any handled by our committee,
save one, and that one is controll
ed by Chairman Fitzgerald him
self.
I regret very much indeed that
such tactics should be resorted
to in order to accomplish your de
feat, and I sincerely hope that
your constituents may be brought
to know just how laborious and
conscientious you have been in
your years of effort to serv:
them. If they could only know
that you are esteemed by your
colleagues not only as one of the
best lawyers in our body, bit
that your counsel is always sought
when any important matter of
legislation is being considered,
and that your length of service
MR. EUGENE McMICHAEL
RECEIVES PROMOTION.
We copy the following from
The Jackson Argus. Mr. Mc-
Michael formerly lived in McDon
ough and has many friends here
who will rejoice at his success:
“Eugene McMichael, assistant
cashier of the Jackson National
Bank for the last several years,
has resigned that position to ac
cept the position as cashier of a
new bank at Calhoun. He leaves
Jackson September 1.
“Gene McMichael is one of
! Jackson’s best, brightest young
men, and although Jackson re
joices his promotion in se
! curing such a desirable position,
we all deeply regret his departure
f? om among us.”

' only adds to your capacity and
ability to serve them, I feel sure
there would be no doubt of your
return.
It is deplorable that a campaign
can be waged on such false and
misleading grounds, but my dear
judge, keep in mind whereas re
publics are proverbially ungrate
ful, yet it is also true that it is
never possible to bring it about
that all the people can be success
fully fooled.
With best wishes for your
success, I am very sincerely
yours,
A. S. BURLESON.
