THE LEADER ENTERPRISE AND PRESS/MONDAY. JTUNE 26. 1916.
SHOULD RE-ELECT CRISP
FOR CONGRESSMAN
el v
Washington, D, C., June 19.
The Leader-Enterprise;
Fitzgerald, Ga.,
Dear Editor:
After attending the Confeder
ate Reunion at Birmingham,
Ala., and doing my part in help
ing to bring the Confederate Re
union to Washington, D. C., I
-pent several days in Fitzgerald,
the magic city of Georgia in the
wire-grass region, taking in the
Congressional primary situation
in the third district of Georgia,
between the Hongrable Charles
R. Crisp, the present congress
man, and the Honorable Thomas
(5. Hudson, both candidates be
ing from Sumter county.
[ had not intended going to
Ben Hill county, but while I was
in Birmingham it was reported to
me from somne voters of Ben Hill
county that they were going to
try to beut the Hon. Charles R.
Crisp, so I came down to Ben
Hill to find out the facts, and I
discovered that the situation was
quite different from what it had
been reported to me to be, as out
of every four voters with whom
I came in contact three were for
Judge Crisp, and I received very
favorable reports from other
parts of the district. They said
that although the Hon. Thomas
Hudsom was a very clever gen
tiemen, they were going to sup
port Judge Crisp, as there was no
use swapping off a good horse
that had been tried for one that
had no experience in the harness:
in other words, that it is better
to leave well enough alone,
I have returned to the National
Capital somewhat improved in
health, and have taken up my
routine work of looking aiter the
House Office Building from five
oclock in the evening until
twelve o'clock at midnight, and
accomodating the boys with a
iittle coin to meet their expenses
until pay day. I am also doing
my usual notary work.
[ was in the office of Congress
man ields, of Kentucky, the oth
cr day, to do some notary work
for him, and 1 asked him ii he had
any opposition. He said that he
had the whole legislature running
against him. He asked me the
name of my Congresman, and 1
told him Judge Crisp. He then
asked me if Judge Crisp had any
opposition, and I said that the
Hon. Thomas Hudson, the form
er Commissioner of Agriculture,
‘was a candidate, and Mr. Fields
remarked that it would be a dirty
shame to beat such a valuable
‘man as Judge Crisp, that he was
worth a great deal to the Demo
cratic Party and to the National
Governmpnt, and that he was one
of the ablest men that the United
States had in Congress. He ask
cd me what was the trouble, and
just what the people had against
Judge Crisp. 1 told him that the
only excuse is that he had recom
mended an appointment for Post
master without coming to some
of the voters who oppose him
and have them tell him to recom
mend, and also that Fitzgerald
ought to have had a new postoffi
ce building before this time, as
there had been $75,000 appropri
ated three years and six months
ago to build it. ‘
‘the people either do not know
or do not understand the situa
tion regarding the appropriations
that are made to build postoffices.
The first thing that has to be
done is to get a bill pasesd by
Congress appropriating the |
amount of money desired ; then|
the next thing to do is to get a
building site. Now there was a
bill passed to appropriate $75.-
000 with which to build a post
office, but that amount of money
has never been set aside up to
the present time, and will not be
until the Government gets ready
to put the building up. The
Government is also about four
vears behind in putting up these
government buildings, and the
building will be erected when the
proper time comes.
Some of the people who are op
posed to Judge Crisp seem to
think that the only thing he has
to do is to go up to the Treasury
Department and tell Mr. McAdoo
that he wants the money to build
the Postoffice, and he will get it.
The Treasury Department does
not have any control over the
money until the time comes to
build the postoffice. There are
certain rules and provisions
made by Congress by which the
Departments are governed, and
they can be changed only by an
Act of Congress.
The voters of Ben Hill county
have no reasons to vote against
Judge Crisp on account of any
thing that he has done while he
has been in Congress.
I attended the Preparedness
Parade in Washington, and it
was certainly a wonderiul sight,
especially the hundreds of ladies
all decked out in white from
head to toe. The President
marched at tkl_e head of the pa
rade, dressed 1n white duck trou
sers and a dark-blue coat, and
wearing an ordinary sailor straw
hat. He surely looked fine as he
led the great parade up Pennsyl
vania Avenue.
CAPL. B B MULL.
STATE INSANE ASYLUM
BADLY OVERCROWDED
Atlanta, Ga., June 24—Not
withstanding the fact that Geor
gia is caring for more than one
hundred: feeble-minded and de
fective children at the state san
itarium for the insane at Milled
geville, under overcrowded and
cramped conditions because there
is no other place for them, every
thing possible is being done for
their benefit and the amelioration
of their condition.
Attention has just been called
to the work of a former kinder
garten teacher, who upon regain
ing her strength, established a
school in the asylum {for both
boys and girls at the end of one
of: the halls.. This was in 1912
This school has grown until it
now has 30 boys and 33 girls, who
are making wonderful prongress.
Unfortunately some of these
children will have to remain at
the asylum for life unless the
state provides some other place
for them. More money and more
buildings are needed to give pa
tients the attention that is due
them, according to the trustees.
