It has been charged by one of my opponents that
gearing on the registration books were made by me.
Those who know me will not question the absolute falsity o/ these
charges. I have had no more opportunity to change the registration books
than has hundreds of other cltinens of Ware couuty.
These charges are made against me at a time when it is almost impossible
to refute them before the election.
• The public Hliouid know that tho charges made by such political trick
sters are us false as they are. Some cf the names ullcgcd to nave been
changed are among my warmest supporters. Assuring the public that if I
am reelected I will perform the duties Incident to the Sheriff's office as con
scientiously as I hav* in the past, I respectfully solicit your support.
I). A. WOODARD.
WOODARD A BRAVE
AND CAPABLE OFFICER
Communicated. ,
Kditors Herald; * *,
Permit me to iimikc known u few of
niy observations relative to the elec
tion of a sheriff of Ware county.
Mr. Woodard, the proa, at encum
bent. Is a enudidato for re-election.
This being tils first term In office hi
vhould by all rule* 1 of fnirnesa be elect
ed to a second term. He has done
jiothlng for whlca he should be turn-
•«I down und thus humiliated. It hav
ing been an unprecedented rulo to
give a man a second term without op-
-fjoxltlon, unless he hsvl done some
thing for which he should bo punish-
«*<L miti I deprlcate tjo fact that he
has .opposition for this second term.
Mr. Woodard Is u bravo and good
officer- a man who Is well balanced
nud cool under nil circumstances—a
man who in the event of a riot would
on arcouut of bis even temperament
be commanding and at all times In the
possession of all of his faculties.
Now in mil candor can we say this
In reapect to Ms opponents. I think
noL Mr. Youmans Is a good man
1*1 from what I esn learn is quick
tempered, easily etcited and acts up
on the Impulse, and with such a dis
position could do Incalculable harm
under stress of circumstances calling
for deliberation and due considerate!).
Mr. Pittman Is a $oo4 man but a
better farmer than he would make u
sheriff. His life having been spent
mostly In the country*, he is not awake
to the signs of the times, and too
much time would be required wliii
him to gain a working knowledge of
foe office.
Now do we not owe It to ourselves
to see that the best man we have is
elected to this office for the reason
that at some time during the encurn-
brumey of this office our property and
tven our lives and as well the lives
et those who are nearest and dearest
to us may be in the hands of this of-
tetr.
I understand a cnargo has been
made that certain irregularities in
connection with'the registration were
attrlbu’ablt to him. Such a charge
is u base slander and the circulation
of same is done for i*olItlcal purposes
and at a time when It was t lought he
ould not have huj tlmo to refute It.
'I he people should speuk out 1u op-
os!tIon to such political trtcicsters,
:h It Is a. well known fact that any
ii.I every olio had access to this bool:
ml »uch charges as were made could
uvo been dene by any one who would
have ho desired, and any one witn any
knowledge of affairs would know that
Lie change of n few names could not
c.’.cngo tlie result-of an election,
if they were all opposed to any
candidate, but k us a matter of fact
many of those changed were ardent
supporters of Mr. Woodard..and this
charge was made in Lie hope of doing
him some harm, hut Mr. Woodard
ill known for such false an
slanderous charges to effect him
though unanswered.

shrinking to
bankruptcy.
Why this great change? The an
swer is that confidence in values, con
fidence in the protection of property,
confidence Ii^ the safety and security
of investments has been badly shaken,
and the reason Is too much demagog-
ism and too much unwise legislation
ml threats of legislation. The West
was developed by outride capital and
the growth of development ol the
South can't go on without outside
cupitul. Lriok ut the Pacific slope!
Seattle in 1900 had 80,000 population;
now It hns 225,000. Los Angeles in
1000 had 50,000 population; ‘today it
has 280,000. The South Atlantic
Statea have greater natural advantag
es than the Pacific slope and are near
er to the densely settled |»ortion of the
Union. Why docs the South lag be
hind? The reason is the same—too
much unwise legislation. Two years
ago the South was developing so fast
that it outgrow Its supply of labor;
U outgrew Its supply of capital, and It
ipply of transportation
facilities. Instead of recognizing that
what difficulties we Men experienced
were .solely due Co our phcnomlually
ra;>i^ growth and would adjust them
selves, along came a gang of agitators
like Hoke inlth of Georgia, Comer of
Alabama and tilenn of North Carolina
and howlej against corporations, and
especially foreign corporations. We,
dill not say that Hold? Smith vnused
Panic, but we do say that he and
his policies are largely responsible
fer the* destruction of confidence
which is causing t
In trade aud business
in Georgia today. And that is one
reason why wo are voting for Brown.
Wo want to put u stop to this agita
tor and let business and trade have a
chance to get on their feet again.
Due of the pet Hoke Smith |>olicles
hostility to foreign corporations.
They must not be allowed in Georgia
In his speeches and In r nls campaign
pamphlet, pages 9 and 10, he soy
If we forbid the operation of rail
roads in Georgia by foreign corpora
tions. or' non resident citizens, they
will be forced to sell or lease them
to corporations organized In Georgia.
We should accept no half way mens-
mizatlorr of local
begin.**
There you are in his own words,
What du you think of that? Is that
policy likely to bring any fre^h for
eign capital into Georgia? Will non-
resident citizens who are satisfied »o
>:ve ar.d work under the constitution
and laws of the United States put
r.:r.nc-y into new or c!J railroads In
Georgia if they are not going to be al
lowed to operate their properties them
selves? if they are to be forced to
/ell out their railroads can they feel
safe that they won't be forced to soil j
other properties also? This policy of j
Hoke Smith's is a direct threat to uii |
foreign Investors ip our state, and j
wacro are we to raise locally the men- j
ey to buy the properties which this pol- j
icy aims to throw on the market? Du
:'ae people of Georgia and the people }
of Savannah wish to see the Illinois
Central cr Mr. llarrlman prevented
from owning and operating the Central
of Georgia and making Savannah the
Atlantic outlet for a preat transcon
tinental line? Yet this is cne of Me
things Mr. Smith stands pledgej to do,
and this is one good reason why we
are opposed, to him and will vote for
Joe Brown.
Another of Hoke Smith’s policies is
hostilities to railroads. We are ail
agreed that railroads should be reg-
•.Bated by the state. But we want
them to live and prosper. If Me South
had the same proportionate railroad
tileage as Massachusetts we would
have today 225,000 miles of road In
stead of only 65,000. What we want
and need is more railroads, better
equipped railroads and better service.
can’t get that unless tlie ones we
have allowed to prosper. Mr. Smith’s
policies are killing the goose that lays
the golden egg. We knew that rail-
ds aro the bigsest purchasers of
lumber, Iron and many lines of sup
plies. When the railroads can’t affcr«f
buy them our mills and factories
must shut down or curtail production
and stagnation creeps over every line
of trade and business. That is what
has happened aud Is happening today
and worse is yet to come If Hoke
Smith and his policies are to bo con
tinued. One of i:i«5 pledges Is to make
> dullness a reduction if n year in
that exists freight rates. That h more than tho
total net earnings cl all tho railroads
In Georgia. But tl:.;t ;s net all. An
other of his policies li to put a tax
of 1 per cen^ cn Me gross earnings of
all railroads, whether they are making
money or not, in addition to the four
seperate kinds of taxes already Im
posed upou them. If we send him back
to carry out his pledges, as he asks us
to do, the carrying out of these poli
cies will bankrupt every railroad in
Georgia. Do we want that? Not much
And..that is another reason why we
re going to vote for Joe Brown.
