Issues now prevailing in Geor
gia and the choatic aftermath of
the war, rehabilitation of veter
ans and the period of reconver
sion make the coming campaign
for governor of Georgia the most
important one since carpetbag
ger days.
After the State Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee meets, expect
to qualify as a candidate for gov
ernor of Georgia. I shall give ev
ery ounce of strength in my be
ing towards the accomplishment
of the following program:
SCHOOLS
The school teachers of this
state have long been underpaid.
The expenses of living have in
creased tremendously since prior
to the war. The common schools
of this state and the University
System should be adequately fi
nanced on a sound and perma
nent basis. To this end, I shall
work diligently to see that the
school teachers’ salaries of this
state are increased 50 per cent.
These salaries should be increas
ed now by the present adminis
tration. In the event the present
administration fails to increase
these salaries, the legislature
should meet in extraordinary
session and increase them. If this
is not done prior to next Jan
uary when the next governor as
sumes office, it shall be the first
principle that I will advocate to
the General Assembly of Georgia
if elected.
PENSIONS
Thousands of people of this
state are entitled to the old-age
pension who are not receiving it
and those receiving it are get
ting a mere pittance which
should be substantially increas
ed. If elected governor, I shall
work to see that every old per
son in this state who makes ap
plication receives a pension sub
stantial enough in amount to
support himself and family.
ROADS
Recent rains and the failure
of the present administration to
construct and maintain our state
road system has resulted in a
deplorable road system in this
state. Farmers have been unable
to get to town with their pro
duce. School teachers and chil
dren have been unable to get to
school. The rural mail carriers
have been unable to deliver mail
in many instances. If elected
governor, it shall be my purpose
to inaugurate and successfully
complete the largest road-build
ing program in the history of
the state. Especially important is
the rural post road system and
farm-to-market roads. If elected
governor, I shall strive to see
that every road in the state over
which school buses run and rural
mail carriers travel is hard sur
faced and made a permanent and
all-weather road.
HEALTH
During the war, it was diffi
cult and in some sections prac
tically impossible to obtain prop
er medical aid and treatment in
this state. Every community in
Georgia should have the oppor
tunity and privilege of building
its local hospital which should
be supplemented by state funds
where necessary. If elected gov
ernor of Georgia, I shall ask the
General Assembly of this state
to appropriate a million dollars
per year that will be allocated to
the counties and municipalities
to supplement local funds to
build hospitals where people in
the rural areas can receive the
same medical treatment and care
offered to the people in city hos
pitals. The eleemosynary institu
tions of this state that care for
our mentally deficient, infirm,
deaf, dumb and tubercular pa
tients should be operated to the
advantage of these unfortunate
people. They should have ade
quate medical treatment, food,
clothing, beds and care. I shall
strive to see that these less for
tunate people of our state are
given every advantage that could
be received in the best of our
Hill.

with her grandmother, Mrs.
Frank Stewart.
Mrs. Grace Hix and son, Alan,
are spending this week in Ma
rietta.

private institutions which treat
similar patients. The health pro
gram of this state should be pro
tected, encouraged and ade
quately financed.
VETERANS
No service that the state can
render to its returned veterans
would be too much. Our sons and
daughters who served in the
armed forces and faced the guns,
bayonets and thunder of enemy
fire should ever be guided and
protected by every resource at
the command of this country,
both national and state. If elect
ed governor of Georgia, I shall
ask the General Assembly to give
all veterans free business li
censes, a five-year state ad val
orem tax exemption and an hon
orary driver’s license for life to
every honorably discharged vet
eran who served in the armed
forces. Such driver’s license will
be free of charge, and revocable
only ii accordance with the laws
of this s ? .ate. Veterans of this
state should have homes, the op
portunity of marriages and the
privilege of rearing a family.
These homes should be privately
financed. If not privately financ
ed, they should be federal-fi
nanced and, if necessary, fi
nanced by the state and to this
end I shall start the Veterans
Resettlement Corporation to
work for veterans. I expect to
do all within my power to make
a home available for every per
son in this state. If elected gov
ernor, 50 per cent of all the ap
pointments to office that I make
will be from the veterans of our
state.
LABOR
Our country must give job op
portunities to all. These job op
portunities must be in the nature
of beneficial work, rather than
relief or a dole. Capital and la
bor must work together as a
team. Neither capital nor labor,
working separately, can accom
plish anything. Capital and labor
working together can produce
wealth, food, clothing, jobs and
the security of a living for all.
It shall be my purpose to encour
age the co-operation of capital
and labor. Both capital and labor
will be given equal protection of
the laws. I want to see every man
have a job, a home and the se
curity of livelihood, with oppor
tunity to advance in salary,
wages and in status. Social re
forms must be protected and
maintained. Our workmens com
pensation laws and unemploy
ment insurance must be admin
istered in accordance with the
law and for the benefit of the
laboring masses. Labor has the
right to organize and bargain col
lectively. These laws will be
maintained, protected and pre
served if I am elected governor
of Georgia. .
FARMERS
The farmer produces the raw i
materials for food and clothing.
His is the most essential occu-i
pation of all. The life of a farmer !
is filled with drudgery, toil and j
little pay. I know his lot by be
ing a farmer myself and by hav
ing served as State Commission
er of Agriculture. I would like to
see farm commodities bring a
higher price. The income of a
farmer should be commensurate
with that of other occupations
and businesses. I want to see
paved roads by the farmers’
homes so he can get his produce
to market. I want to see power
lines by the farmers’ homes so
that he can enjoy some of the
conveniences of modern life. I
want to see the schools in the
rural sections as good as those
in the cities so that the farm
ers’ children may receive an ed
ucation as good as can be of
fered in the schools of this state.
The farmers’ markets must be
expanded and improved. I am
glad to see that a large number
of farmers are joining the farm
bureaus. Since labor and capital
are organized, it is incumbent
upon farmers to organize in or
der that their voice might be
heard in Washington. If I am
elected governor of Georgia, the
farmer will ever have a staunch
friend in the governor’s chair.
ECONOMY
The present state administra
tion has collected more money
and taxes than any previous ad-

ministration in the history of
this state. They have built no
roads. The people of Georgia do
not know what the condition of
the state treasury is. When I left
the office as governor of Geor
gia on January 12, 1943, all cur
rent indebtedness was paid and
there was a balance of $5,500,000
in the state treasury.
I have always been opposed to
increased taxes. Federal, state
and local taxes are too high. The
tax burden of our country is, in
deed, difficult to bear and still
operate a business or small en
terprise. I hope and believe that
the state can be operated with
out increased revenue. We can
not tell for certain because we
do not know what the present
condition of the state treasury
is. We know that there should be
a huge surplus. We know, also,
that there are thousands of use
less state employees who draw
large salaries to do nothing. It
shall be my purpose to see that
a tax dollar spent receives 100
cents worth of goods or service.
Useless bureaus, over-head and
employees will be pruned from
the state payroll and the burden
of taxes on the shoulders of the
people of this state be made as
light as possible.
SOUTHERN TRADITIONS AND
PRIMARY
The most important issue of all
now faces the people of Georgia
and of the Southland—the Dem
ocratic white primary. Alien in
fluences and Communistic influ
ences from the East are agitat
ing social equality in our state.
They desire Negroes to partici
pate on our white primary in or
der to destroy the traditions and
heritages of our Southland. They
desire to pass the FEPC law and
to defeat our Southern congress
men and senators who have op
posed the FEPC. They want Ne
gro policemen, Negro office hold
ers, Negro tax assessors and
many other offices, Federal, state
and local that are held by the
white people of this state. If
elected governor, I shall see that
the traditions which were fought
for by our grandparents are
maintained and preserved. I shall
see that the people of this state
have a Democratic white primary
unfettered and unhampered by
radical, Communists and alien
influences.
Negroes should be protected
under the law. Negroes should
have good schools, the opportun
ity to work, protection of our
health law£ the right to earn
and make a living and educate
their children but they should
not participate in our Democratic
white primary in the Southland.
We must protect the Negroes
from the Communist organiza
tions and alien influences. The
best friends that the Negroes
have in Georgia are their white
neighbors and white public of
ficials and the citizens of the
community in which they live.
The county unit system of the
state protects us from political
machines that are maintained
in lany of the states of this Un
ion. It serves to break up a po
litical machine at the county
line. It gives representatition to
the rural sections of this state
and cities of Georgia. I will pre
serve, maintain and protect the
county unit system of this state.
If the county unit system were
destroyed, a few boss politicians
of the larger cities of the state
would control the policies of
Georgia and the rural areas of
Georgia would be without effec
tive represenation or a voice in
the government. A county unit
system is not only a protection
for the rural sections but it is a
protection for the population in
the large cities as well.
If elected governor, my admin
istration of the above policies
and program mill be a broad,
progressive one to give better
jobs, opportunities and a better
livelihood to the people of our
state. Georgia is the empire state
of the South and the Southland
is now the No. 1 opportunity in
our country. We must improve
our schools, health, roads, pen
sions. farming conditions, labor
conditions and go forward in
Georgia to become the most pro
gressive state of the Union.
