THE LEE COUNTY JOURNAL, LEESBURG, GEORGIA
John T. Boifeuillet Is Well
Qualified For U. S. Senator
Railroad Commissioner John T, Boi
feuillet, who has announced his candi
dacy for the United States Senate, to
succeed the late Senator Thomas E.
Watson, has made the following state
ment to the people of Georgia with
“reference to his candidacy and his
ability to render them good and ef
ficient service in that body:
To the People of Georgla:
1 have a laudable ambition to repre
gent my native stato of Georgia in the
Senate of the United States, and, in
furtherance of this aspiration, I am a
candidate for nomination in the pri
mary election on October 17, to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of the late
lamented Senator Thomas E. Watson,
I believe I have certain advantages
and experiences that qualify me for
the prompt and intelligent discharge
of the duties of a senator.
. My services during eight years in
the House of Representatives of Geor
‘gia, as a member from Bibb county,
and twenty years as Clerk of the
House, have given me a complete
knowledge of législative procedure, and
perfect familiarity with parliamentary
law. I am trained in parliamentary
practice and discussion, by reason of
the frequency with which I have pre
sided over the deliberations of the
House, and the innumerable times I
have taken part in debates on the
floor.
I also have a ripe experience in the
usages of the United States Senate,
the result of having been private sec
retary to Senator Augustus O. Bacon
for eight years, and secretary of the
great and important Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations.
I am personally acquainted with near
1y all of the present Senators, and with
the senatorial corps and other officials
of the Senate; I am' thoroughly famil
far with the routine and general work
ings of !l the departments of gov
ernment in« Washington, and have a
pleasant personal acquaintance with
many of the principal officers thereof.
I have several warm friends in the
cabinet circle. .
If, in the Providence of God, and by
the grace of the voters of this state,
I am permitted to take the oath of
office as Senstor, it will be amid fa
niiliar scenes and friendly faces.
‘When critical illness in my family com
pelled my resignation from the Ameri
can Embassy in London, where in two
wyears’ service during the world war, I
gained wide knowledge of foreign con
ditions and affairs, Ambassador Wal
ter H. Page, in a personal as well a?
official letter to me, said:
“It is a very great personal mis
fortune for me, and a cause of great
regret to us all, that you cannot get
back here. Not only your most effi
cient service in the work of this em
bassy, but the personal pleasure that
we all got from association with you,

JOHN T. BOIFEUILLET, ¢
Candidate for U. S. Senator,
make your inability to return, a grief
to us all.”
At the same time, Assistant Secre
tary of State William (Phillips, wrote
me a letter, in which he said:
“I am very sorry that you have been
obliged to tender your resignation. It
will be a keen disappointment to Am
bassador Page and to the whole em
bassy staff, and I join with them in
expressions of deep regret, that we are
no longer to have the benefit of your
valuable services.”
If elected, my deliberations as Sena
tor shall be conscientious, and my atti
tude shall at all times be that of a
man with a wide and true human in
terest. I shall be found always re
sponsive to the patriotic sentiments
of the splendid people whom I repre
rosent. My greatest ambition will be
to prove worthy of the place, to deserve
the approbation and continued friend
ship of those who so greatly honored
and trusted me; to promote industry;
to guard the personal and material in
terests of the citizen; to preserve civil
and religious liberty; to uphold the
majesty of the law, the dignity of the
government and the rule of the people;
to advance education, and to keep aloft
the standard of the sog¢ial and moral
virtues.
I will deeply appreciate your support
Faithfully yours,
JOHN T. BOIFEUILLET.
