My dear Mr, Bell;
1 have been thinking for some
time that 1 would write you, as a a
humble but interested citizen of
tiie ninth district I feel that under
Ml conditions as they exist in our
Country you should be returned to
Congress for the next two years.
In many ways our country is in
i deplorable condition, and in inj
lodgment we need experienced
nien in office, who are loyal and
true to the interest of the Common
people. We know that your ire
,
in the common people is
boundless, because you have been
fried ami not found wanting,
l believe that u large majority of
our people, even tiiose who ha ve¬
not heretofore supported you, feel
that vve need you in Congress - at
this time, and that your service
are by far better for ns than the
services of a new and untried men.
1 know of your statement made
several years ago, as to your re¬
tiring, hut you have no right to
commit the people to any proposi¬
tion when they have been ns loyal
and true to you as they have, un¬
less it meets with their approval.
It is true you have always had
opposition in your races, but the
people have been loyal to you,have
stood by you, have ^faith in you
nni you are still under obligations
to them, you have never betrayed
the faith the peujile have, in you,
and your warm friendship and close
partnership with the masses has
been a factor in yottr well known
ublte service.
servant is a credit to you, and re
ilects the intelligence uf the voters.
Yotir loyalty ’to your friends and
your duty is a monument to you.
J have in mind that of tne entire

Mr. J. H. McGee,
La w re nee ville, Georgia.
Dear Mr, McGee :
! am in receipt ot yours of De¬
cember 71 h and 1 appretiate the
nanifestations of inteies-t and
friendship exhibited in your icltei
and have given careful considera¬
tion to same. 1 have received
many letters front friends over tile
district of similar import, as well
as hundreds of personal solicila
lions during the past few montln
asking me to reconsider mv slate
ment not to run for Congirss and
[PRICE 11.50 A YEAH IN ADVANCE
allow un friends to use my
as a candidate in 1930. 1
deeply grateful to you, and all ol
my friends, for these
of confidence, as well a» the loyal
support accorded me since 1 have
been your representative. I have
iried to the best of my ability to
faithfully and honestly represent
the. people of the district and I am
proud of what t have done for them
It is true some twelve years ago
I made the statement that if my
opponents would let me alone and
let me have one term {without op
position f would not again fie a
candidate. In spite of this, I have
had opposition every time except
m 192S. I realize that 1 had no
right to say if, the people desired
me as their representative 1 would
decline. They are the judges of
who and who will nof represent
them, and the people, have been too
good to me for me. at this late day,
to turn a deat ear to their wishes.
Therefore, if you and thousands of
• nher loyul friends throughout the
district, wish to use mv name as a
,-.tt mb date for Congress, I see noth
mg for me to do but to permit the
use of mv uarne.
You refer in your letter to tin
deplorable condition in which the
Country is at present, to all ol
which ( agree. Further, you say.
“ we need experienced ineo in of¬
fice” in such crises, which is also
true, i have given twenty-five
years of the best pint of may life
is a member of Congress from the
district and during that time Ihuve,
of Course, become familiar will) the
workings of this great legislative
body as well as the intricacies ol
the various departments of the
Federal Government. 1 have made
fitd nowoomtorr myself with the
knowledge that I have hundreds
>f strong personal frierics in botl
branches of t(Te Congress as weli
as die heads of the departments
niany of wll0 , n are , ire o£ opposite
politicul fuilll who , having k.iowi
me through tlie years, readily ;tc
:ede to mv requests where inv con.
stituents -are concerned, Ol course,
any new member ol Congress, how¬
ever able he might be, could noi
command this .support until he
should have served many years as
1 member and formed these con¬
tacts. I am the, ranking Democrat
if the Post Office and Post Roads
Committee, on which committee ]
lave served for twenty years, and
in the event of a Democratic turn¬
over in the House, which is not at
til improbable, f would become
Chairman of this committee. By
my long service on this committee,
[ have been able lo render a dis
.inct service to the people of ihi
listricl in the extension of rural
ree delivery service, the establish
nent of city and village deliveries
• if mails in various communities
■ he creation and„ex!ension of vari¬
ous communities, the creation and
extention of various star loute ser
rices, and the securltigjof sites and
erection of Federal buildings in the
district. 1 liave been working on.
md have well in hand now, Uit
mutter of the erecting of a new
Federal building for the United
States court at Gainesville (which
court, by the way,! had established,
ami which i-s a great convenient-!
to the people of tHe district) as
well as the erection uf a new post
dlice building at Toccmi and site
md Federal buildings atL'iwrence
,-ille, Winder. Commerce, Buford
unk other points in ihe district.
The new post office at Canton was
completed and occupied this year
as a result of my efforts, and there
is no more beautiful Federal build¬
ing its size in the South.
There are various other projects
which must be kept up with and
watched if they are to be brought
to fruition. Only this week I visit¬
ed the Cherokee National Forest,
a great reserve in our beautiful
mountain section, which is being
gradually put in shape as a resort
tnd recreation center for onrSouth
land, appropriations for which I
have been sponsoring through the
years. I ant now working for ad¬
ditional appropriations for forest
roads and trails through this re¬
serve and my visit there, this week
was to inspect such extension with
the engineer, Mr. Haile in charge,
I could refer to my work in be.
half of appropriations 'or Federal
aid lor Georgia highways, btu 1
take it you are familiar with the
fact that I introduced the first bill
in Congress for such aid. and have
consistently followed up these ap¬
propriations. Upon my invitation
and irii4iatio 11, Chief McDonald of
the Uiiiieii Stales Bureau of Roads
and Dr. Hubert Work, then Secre¬
tary of Interior, visited the 9th dis¬
trict. inspecting g the highways
through the mountains and the
National Forests, the result of
which enlisted their support in the
development ol these important
projects.
Yes, it is true that eleven of the
twelve members of Congress from
Georgia are lawyers. I am tfi*
only layman in the delegation.
I have more than 1,000 claims
lor YV orld war veterans pending,
affecting many thousands of peo¬
ple, and 1 would welcome an op¬
portunity to bring these to a suc¬
cessful ending.
If you and my other friends and
constituents be'ieve I should agiyn
represent you in Congress, 1 leave
the matter in your hnnds.Ilowever,
l wish it distinctly understood that
should 1 L»e returned to Congress
for another term Twill
be a candidate. In giving consent
for the use of my name on the
ticket, it does not follow that .1
would not canvass the district if
there should be other candidates,
because I would not want my
friends to bear all the burden, I
have had all the honor that comes
from the position and have reached
that age when the turmoil and
strife of compaigns is too much f<>
me to undergo, and keep up with
my official duties at the same time
anil an yielding to the desire of my
friends now because t feel it a pub¬
lic duty and from this I have never
shirked.
With every assurance of esteem.
I am,
Sincerely yours,
TIJOS. M. BELL.
