A CHAP ON HER HANDS
A young lady asked us if we knew any remedy for
chapped hands? We told her to not walk in the Park.
We once knew a girl who walked in the Park —and
got a Chap on her Hands for the rest of her LIFE}

HALLOWE’EN CARNIVAL
SPLENDID SUCCESS
Proceeds of Whole Affair Amounted

quite a bit of interest among every-1
body present, brought $235.17. The '

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED IN GOV. ED RIVERS’ HOME
COUNTY OF LANIER:
Lakeland, Ga., Oct 21, 12.36. <Al’)
—ln the RUN-OFF race held today
between Sheriff G. Tucker and J. F.
Studstill, Jr., the Lanier incumbent
was defeated by six votes.
The above news item was clipped from the Atlanta Constitution of last Thurs
day, October 22, 1936. |
Anyone can, therefore, readily see that Gov. Rivers’ home county DEMANDS that
the person being declared the nominee in the primary MUST receive a majority of the
votes cast. The same rule holds good in a MAJORITY of the Counties of this State.
From the above news item, it is apparent that more than two candidates ran in the
primary, and no one received a majority of the votes cast. Therefore, a second, or
“run-off” primary was held for the two candidates receiving the highest number of
votes. . (
In Chattooga County, on March 11, 1936, the votes credited the candidates were
as follows:
Bloodworth 83
Thomason 493
Glenn 927
Cook 956
Kellett 1,046
Hence, from these figures, it is apparent that 1,046 people voted for Kellett and
2,459 voted against Kellett by voting for some other candidate. Therefore, by a ma
jority of more than 2 to 1, the people really voted AGAINST Kellett for Sheriff, and
yet he was given the nomination.
‘ In order that the people of Chattooga County might be allowed to express their
choice between the two candidates receiving the highest number of votes—a right free
ly granted the people in practically every other county in this State —I petitioned the
County Democratic Committee for a second, or “run-off”, primary. In spite of the
fact that I offered to pay all expenses of holding this “run-off” primary, so the peo
ple could choose between Mr. Kellett and myself, the Democratic Executive Committee
of this County refused my request, and thereby denied the people their inalienable
right to express their choice.
Weigh these facts well, and if you believe in a square deal, I respectfully solicit
you vote and influence in the election to be held on next Tuesday, Nov. 3, 1936.
T. A. COOK,
Candidate for Sheriff.
