EX-SERVICE MAN AND FORMER
VETERANS* BUREAU OFFICIAL
; ENDORSES CON. BRAND’S *REC
GRD. i
The Banner-Heruld is in receipt of
the" following* letter from a vetaran
of the World War endorsing the work
Conrresman Charles H- Brand nas
ione in behalf of the ex-sfervice men,
especially those applying for ad
justment, and endorsing him. for
Oontf.-ess.
Washington, I) C.
The Banner-Herald,
Athens, Ga.
Having known the Honorab’c C.
H Brand for a orriod of nearly five
years, I deare to off* - a few or.solic
ited words in bis behalf in support
of bis candidacy for re-election as
representative of the Eighth District
of Ceorgia.
Will state that 1 have been active
ly engaged in the work of soldiers,
relief since mid-summer of 1919, serv
ing for a period of over two years
in the Atlanta headquarters, b ifth
District, United States "Public Health
Service, and for a period of nearly 3
years is the Central Office of the
United Stater-. Veterans’ Bufreau
Washington, D C.,.and over the
period as above referred to, 1 was in
frequent .contact by correspondence
and in person with Vfr. Brand, be
cause of the fact that he was so in
terested in securing prompt and
>opcr adjudication of any claim
that an ex-soldier might have against
the government.
Judge Brand’s efforts in behalf of
these men wofe*e tireless and unceas
ing, and I migl t say extremely sue- ,
ccrsful, he having secured the re
spect and confidence of all the offi
cials with whom he came in contact,
nnd because of the fact as above
stated, he was able to secure prompt
and accurate adjustment of any and
all claims that were possible of ad
judication under the facts that ob
tained .
The writer of this Jetton* is himself
an over-seas veteran and with
no “axe to grind” and in closing will
state that while 1 endeavored in
every way to assist Judge Brand in
his efforts to secure justice for Bu
reau beneficiaries, that Judge Brand
had nothing to do with any appoint
ments or emoluments that I may
have received in the government ser
vice, and am hut offering this testi
monial to a man that 1 believe is
in evetry way worthy of the respect I
of his constituents and eminently j
well fitted to represent his district
Ip the House ox Representatives.
Sincerely,
?”*"* W, EL CLARK, M. D. j

To the Toonle of Georgia:
Bix years ago you did me the honor
of •tofdi'isr me to the United Soften Sen

re-election to this high office. It •eeme
appropriate that 1 should caJi attention
briefly to some ot the things I hv l>ecn

hft merited your approval.
Res* Using that our formers, laborer*.
Menufivotiirere on) merchants were in
pred of substantial assistance. I have
spent my time laboring for them In a
constructive way. rather than making
partisan political spooc’ies.
It la well known that nearly ail leßf--

am fortunate in being nest to the rank

of Georgia are vitally interested
At the time of my jiowinatlon and elec
tion In 1918, our bmtve boyß were fight
ing in the greatest rmd moot destructive
var of nil history I prcmlsaCl
you then tha t. I would do t very
- in my power to help win the <var
and get our boys back home. I went to
France v/hen the war closed, at my own
expense, to eo about the health and
comfort of the Georgia soldiers, and there
iirrsnyed for many of them to co-r.e
homo before the soldiers of ether states.
I was the only Senator to do this. It.
has been my privilege to render assist
ance to thousands* of veterans during and
since demobilisation. I also helped to
amend a bill so that one of the five big
hospitals could be located In Augusta,
Georgia.
I have supported woman suffrage and
prohibition, ami have at all times been
on the moral side of every public ques
tion.
No Senator hoe taken deeper Interest
in the matter of Immigration. During?
my first year in the Senate, T introduced
a bill prohibiting ell immigration for at
least five years, and have consistently
oreed the passage of such a measure,
both In the Committee on Immigration,
of which I am a member, and on the
floor of the Senate. While I failed in
my efforts te stop altogether *b flow
of foreigners to our shores. I was honored
by being: designated as one of the five
conferees from tho Senate to meet with
the five Douse members and took an act
ive part In framing: tho new Immigration
law, which is by far the best the Con
irresa has ever passed.
After the war came reconstruction with
the terrible flnunciul crisis to the farm
ers, upon whom all our people must de
pend for prosperity. I nm a member of
the Farm Bloc, and am eomfident the
Record wlil show that no Senator has
worked harder or accomplished more for
the fanner than I have during the last
five years.
Among the measure*) for the benefit
of the farmer that I originated or active
ly supported, and have been largely in
strumental in passing, may be mentioned
the following:
Stopping the discrimination against
Georgia hog raisers by the meat packers
trust, which controls the price of hogs.
Amending the law so that farm prod
ucts could be stored in Federal licensed
warehouses, of which there are over two
hundred in Georgia, and thus secure
cheaper interest nnd Insurance rates.
Changing government reports of esti
mates of cotton acreage, amount ginned,
etc., to prevent Wall Street gamblers
speculating In cotton.
Persuading President Wtlson not to fix
the price of cotton, which later sold as
high as forty-five cents. Northern nnd
Western Senators urged him to fix the
price at. fifteen cents a pound, which
would have meant a loss of millions to
Georgia farmers.
