TO THE VOTERS OF MADISON COUNTY: I freely gave my consent lor my son, Frank A. Holdtn, to run f,or Congress because he has a disposi tion to lead a public life and he is capable, in my opinion, or making a success in it if given an opportunity to ::ervt. In ruy opinion, he is about the right age to go to Congress. If elected, he would be in his >j2nd year when he took his seat. Many from Georgia have gone to Congress much younger. If he is to lead a public life, he should begirt it and the study Of gov ernmental problems while he is young. Mv observation is that many of those who have made the greatest success in public service are thost who began it while young. I would never have consented for him to makt the race if I had not thought that, if elected, he would make a creditable record and render efficitnt and satisfactory service. From the information I have, the indications are that he will win the race. I am glad to know that the race is one frte from bitterness. I -shall have no unkind feelings towards anyone who may see fit to vote a gajnst my son, but it is my tamest hope that the people of this County will support him. This County was in the old Northern Circuit over which I presided for seven years, and I have always had the kindest feelings toward the people in it. I feel as much interest in my son’s race as if it were my own, and I would hate very much to see this County go a gainst him. Very truly, Horace M.
