Two years ago, you gaye me a yote of
confidence by electing me your Rep
resentative in the Georgia Legislature,
The best interests of our County and
State has been my first consideration;
and I feel we are making progress in
our expanded school program as well
as in the building and improving of
our roads and bridges. I think the
two go hand in hand and by all
working together, we can march for
ward in full step with the wonderful
progress our State is now enjoying.
I am a candidate for re-election and
1 will appreciate the support and help
of all our people. I feel the two years
experience I have had as your Repre
sentative will be a great help during
the next two years. Our State is faced
with momentous problems and the fu
ture of our people may well be writ
ten during the coming months. We
must face the situation with courage
and conviction and with the determi
nation to try tu solve all the problems
fairlv and for the good of our people.
Your help and advice will always
be appreciated; and in return, I
pledge you the very best that is in
me. Again, thank you for your sup
port and with best wishes always. I
am,
Sincerely,
A. T. Land.
