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 ute to Judge Bartlett: 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 McDonough, qeorgia. Friday august I#, 1912. S ,J)L 0 ~ 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. MR. J. E. TINLEY SEEKS COMMISSIONER S OFFICE.
