I have definitely decided 1 to run * against Commissioner Pried in the coming primaty, next September. I have felt for a long time that someone actively affiliated writh the business of the shippers of the state should be on the commission, and it is due somewhat to this conviction that I have decided to make the race. It has been a long number of years since ond of otir’citizens thus affi liated has been on the commission. Reasons justifying this representation on the part of the shippers of the state, as a whole, are too obvious for discussion. I shall immediately begin an active campaign throughout the state and expect to go into every cpunty in the state. In this way of campaigning, I will have ample opportunity to thoroughly familiarize myself with the conditions throughout the state and, particularly, getting « close-up view of the agricutural interest, which to my mind, is seriously await a solution in matters of equitable transportation. If elected, I shall strive to the ut most ttf see that absolute justice is done to shippers and carriers alike, fostering every legitimate enterprise to the end that Georgia may main tain her stand in the future, as in the past, as the Umpire State of the South.
