Report,, from the A Sidney Camp
headquarters in Newnan this week
were extremely optimistic and high
| expectations for a great victory for
j Mr. Camp were expressed by
bers of his staff. Work for
ing every voter In the district, eith
er in person or by mail, is rapidly
progressing and the certainty of Mr.
Camp's election is being discussed
everywhere.
It is always desirable that a can
place dida,e befor have fhp th * P^OP'* opportunity the Pfinci- to J
*
pies upon which he is running; this
is advantageous, both to the candi- 1
date and the people, and releases
from Mr. Camp and hi»s campaign j
manager Walter D Sanders, reveal j
a platform which should be. and is
placed before the voters of this dis
met through this newspaper.
"Because of the short time re
maining before the election." Mr.
Camp pointed out, "it may be im
possible for me to see you in per-
son and solicit your support in my
race for Congress. For this reason.
I am taking this means of earnestly
requesting your vote.”
“I am a Democrat, and when
elected will not be controlled by any
man, group or organization, but will
be governed in my votes in the
House of Representatives only by
the Interests and needs of the peo
ple of the Fourth District of Geor
gia.”
"I am opposed to the present cot
ton acreage allotment,” Mr. Camp
said, “because it discriminates
against the farmers of my district
and favors the farmers of the
West.”
He shows keen understanding of
the situation regarding American
farm production and stated that:
“I favor a tariff on importations
into this country, so as to save the
American market for American
farmers. If this law was in effect
today your cotton seed would be
worth nearly as much as the cot
ton.”
"I want to see electric lights in
every farm home,” he said.
Having served for two years in
the army during the World War Mr.
