My Friend, Dave Parker
The Herald mindful of the fact
that the end of the Congressional
race comes on Sept. 12th, deems
it is nothing bus just and right
that we consider from an editor
il point of view, the wisest course
for the paper {o take upnn the
candidates for Congress in this
the Eleventh Congressional Dis
trict. We have listened to the
sirene seng of those who think
that 1t is uawise to trade off one
whom some think has made good
for onein the offing, of who we
can notproperly place an estimate
upon,
But will the continuance of
Congressman Lankford in office
accomplish the things that we
the good people of Charlton
long for. It has been stated that
he has stood for the accomplish
ment of the one object that lies
nearest and dearest to our hearts,
the construction of the St. Mary’s-
St, Marks canal. Yet we are
told by those that were present
al the St. Mary’s meet he wes
iznorant of the fact that $50,000
had keen appropriated for the
survey of said canal, obtained by
the effort of Congressman Green,
of Florida. Does that look like
much interests was shown by him
in this project.
Mr. Parker on the otler hand
1@ been advocating this cana
strenously, and promises every
aid to have’ it put through con=-
gress From his advoeracy of it
hie certainly shows more know
leage of 1t than Congressman
Lankford. }
There are many others jtnings
that we favor and from the ex
pressions made by Col. Parker
we can onlv come 1o one conclu
sion tnat his expression of thought
is such that no one can be mislead
as to his mutual interest in our
affairs,
~ From what we have bheard
Congressman Lanktord's main
pleaof being sent back is to pay
his debts, and one more term will
accomplish that. Tne next is that
in event Democrats are elected
he will be chairmun of the Irriga
tion and Reclamation committee,
pro-viding the one senior over him,
takes another chairmanship. But
il he secured this promotion and
did not take any more interest in
our affairs than he did in the
passing of the anpropriation Gill,
what good would it do us
We are awnare of one thing,
Dave Parker)s an able man, he a
strong lawyer, he can hold his
aund with the average congress
man at least, and we feel sure
that his use of diplomacv can ac
complish much. He will not be
' ham strung bv any nast prejudices
which naturally are aroused by
the peculiarities of Congressman
Lackford. Playing politics to get
votes is all vight, but of little nze
Lin the constructive work of which
we stand in such great need.
' Studving the situation from
,lvw-\ stand point, the proximity
! f Col. Parker; his energv and
mtural melination to help his
‘l’riends. with the willto do it We
ave reached the conelusion. that
49 far as Charlton countvis con
cerned that it is to our best inter
est tovote forhim, Inso express
ag ourselves and to the voters
of Charlton county we would enly
say, that in makmg up their minds
0 whom they should vore, they
should consider [wisely whom
they feel would bpest represent
the things they stand for,
Congressman Lankford's apole
gy for lack of accomplishments
are based upon the fget that the
republicans have been in power
during his term of service. This
ij n poor excuse, as we point to
the gecomplishments of a‘enltorl
Harris in “getting things” as well
s our good friend Congressman
Kdwards of the First District.
But of course a poor excuse is
better than none at all.
HERALD, FOLKSTON, GEORGIA.
RIVERS IS DISGUSTING
The continued appeal of Candi
date Rivers for votes on a basis of
Goy. Hardman spending his money
to secure a renomination is nausu
aling in the extreme; especially so
since from his headqaarter the ev
}idcnce of the use of money is just
as eyident. One wonders from
what soirce the latters campaign
is financed. Its a pertinent ques
tion, that the people ought ta know
Demagogic appeals”to prejudice
a cause is only a camoflage to cov
er up something that is really more
important that the people ought to
know about. What is it Mr. Rlv
ers? |
The truth is evident. Mr. Riv
er's record is proof of his attitude
No over night change can elemi
nate a record of a mal-content con
‘trary to the smooth campaign ex=-
pression or a seeker of the govern
ship. The difference in voling as
a legislator is not in unity with the
campaigo exoressions of Candidate
Rivers. The difference of acting
and.promising is the trouble of his
backing up crew, ;
Rivers talks about Higways, and
we who have listened in vain to
the whispering of Holden, know
that itis just vote getting prcmises.
We had the news that the de
partment was ready to begin the
Kingsland-Folkston stretch wher !
the right of way was secured, then
from the department that does the/
work comes the intimation that it
could not be reached for fivelyears
We have had pre-etec ion prom
ises that faded like mist before the
sun, :ime and time again, and we
know that the basis of Rivers can
didacy is the retention of Holder.
Of course Rivers agitation of the
department to fourteen is good,
hut it is not his thought that crez
ted the idea—Slate, our state au
ditor, originated the plan; me too’s
can easily reject an idea after au
slection, assigning non-feasability
if not agreeeble so their backers:
and purposes.
We do oppose these political
vendettas in Georgia; we are alvo
opposed to these combinations of
candidates who thrcw tue hfe line
out to save a fellow ringster. Let
the basis of ali candidates for pub=
lic office be un their accomplish=
ments, meritorious service to the
public, and uot on selfish advance
ment and private interest.
Hardman's attitude, it seems to
us is based on a desire to give the
state a business administrator, and
while his attempt to appoint a new
head of the Highway department
was frustrated, it was through a
bloc in which Rivers was aleader.
The recent explosion of Candi
date Rivers, who condemned the
present system when he missed a
political appointment on account of
a storm torn road, is evidence that
the department is not functioning,
and to remedy it, is quite certain
that the remedy does not lie in the
election of Mr, Rivers, |
We are willing for the people o 3
Georgia to pass on the gquestion
For our part, we believe Guvernor
Hardmue should be re-elected and
given an 2poortunity to put in op
poration suegested improvements,
The Atlunta Georgian reminds
us rather pointedly that we had
bes* bear in mind that there is a
A state campaign on in Georgia,
and that we should remember that
it ends with the primary Sept
12th, The presidential election
comes sizty days later, therefore
with this thought in mind we are
with this issue cooling our blood
for the less heated, though more
important issue of hume gover
ment. After all the basis of best
government is that nearest home,
which if Lonest and straight for
’urd is for the best interest of its
people, then indeed we have less
to fear of our national government.
In deciding on whom we should
choose to represent us we snould
recognize his record, hut finst
of all seek men of übility, integrity
and training, with a capacity forl
work and diplomacy to do and
have done the essential things nec
essary to maintain a progressive
section and state.
Playing on the weakness of op
ponents, while hiding behind sub:
tefuges, brand many candidates as
demoagogues and advocating any
popular measure to get an office,
| Good government can only be
'had from the study of the charac- |
ter and acts of men aspiring for“
pnblic oflice, and the judgment of
indivuai voters will invaribly place
the best man in office, o
So Mr, Voter do your duty as you
see if, for be assured if you do»
%governmem by the people, for the
ipeople will rule supreme. ‘
If there is any thing in the polit
ical signs now cropping out, it is
gvideut that the old political'ma
c¢iine partially whipped, has com
bined to fester Georgia again. We
hope few will be won to vote by
)camoflage,
Remember to vote Nov. i2th,
It is a sacred ality to do so.
