Washington, I) C. The Banner-Herald, Athens, Ga. Having known the Honorab’c C.

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.

It •eeme appropriate that 1 should caJi attention briefly to some ot the things I hv l>ecn tihlii io <lo In of the tfftft ne KcpubHettn* have had aubfftttiiual r>ia jorUlen In both the Senate en'l House.

It la well known that nearly ail leßf-- lation is Inmed In committees, or.'. I am fortunate in being nest to the rank ing Democrat or. the Committee on Ap preprint lone, the most Important of *■" Committees. 1 am also tho only member from the Southeast on, the sub - committees of eight membors each that bundle all appropriations .or agriculture, commerce, goo-J roads. post offices, rural routes. rivers anil harbors, ml!!*rv- ;Wpspii<4r urn# In terior Departmsmn In* tebterb the people 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. -ADVERTISEMENT Save Your Top Crop!
