THE MARIETTA JOURNAL AND COURIER
COL J. T. DORSEY ANNOUNCES
CANDIDACY FOR LEGISLATURE
To the Voters of Cobb County:
Elsewhere in this issue 4 make formal announcement of my candi
dacy for the House of Representatives. In doing so, I am fully cogni
zant of the honor attached to the position of representing the best and
cleanest county in this great state of ours. If honored with your suf
frage, 1 shall give the best there is in me, and measure up to the limit
of whatever ability | may havae,.
The General Assembly of the next two vears will have for its con
sideration many issues vital to the interests of the people of the state.
Changes in eourt procedure, with a view of stripping the trial of
civil and criminal cases of the objectionable technicalities and delays
that often obtain, are contemplated by the legal fraternity, of which
I ain an humble member. God spced the day when our system of juris
prudence shall have reached the highest state of perfection possible to
human endeavor.
The State Road question, one of prime importance to every citizen
of Georgia, is to be handlfzd. With its present lease, carrying upward
of Four Hundred Thousand dolla:s per year, one half going to the sup
port of your public schools, expiring in a short time, some sound busi
ness must demonstrate itself in the halls of the Assembly.
Many others of equal considcration with the above are to be pass
ed upon by this Legislature
If elected, my vote on all these questions of state-wide scope shall
be cast after full consultation with you, in the effort to find out how
my coanty wishes me to cast their vote, and not mine, for I shall repre
sent her and not myself. In matt rs of entirely local interest, I shall be
governed by the wish of the people, the whole people, and not the few.
I belong to no cligue, am not fashioned to wear the collar of any man,
or set of men, and believe in the sound doctrine of the rule of the people
themselves. 1 have the utmost faith and confidence in the great heart
and mind of the masess—the man in the field as well as the man in the
bank, the man in the shop as well as the man in the office.
In conclusion, if elected, I pladge you that I will not introduce 2
bill of purély local scope, that is, affecting Cobb County solely, without
inserting, and fighting for a clavse therein submitting it to a vote of
the people for ratification or rejection before it becomes a law, nor
shal. my colieague, nor any one clse, get one through, unless thus sub
mitted, without an earnest fight on my part to bring about its defeat
in the committee room and on the floor,
Thanking you for your consideration of my ¢andidacy, I am,
Faithfully yours,
adv, JNO. T. DORSEY.
COL. JOE ABBOTT ANNOUNCES
CANDIDACY FOR LEGISLATURE
To the people of Cobb County, Geor
gia. :
In making my announcemet as
candidate for the Legislature to re
present the people of this county in a
branch of the law making govern
ment I am humbly sensible of my
own limitations and know there are
many of you who could compass
greater good than I; but I am moved
by an honorable ambition to serve
my people in this capacity and if
you should elect me as one of your
representatives I will do my best to
represent you—THE PEOPLE-—and
not a few organized demagogues.
Being fully conscious of the fact
that in asking your suffrage you
have a complete right to know my
position on the issues that confront
us, 1 say to you:
County Government.
I am in favor of centinuing our
present system of administering our
County aftfairs by a board of Com
missioners elected in the five differ
ent road districts of the county. This
plan gives all sections of the councy
immediate representation that in
ures to our good by bringing the
needs of the different sections to the
closer attention of our public au
thorities.
ROADS.
I believe it best to work our con
victs upon the public roads. Good
roads tend to encourage and advance
the civilization of all the people and
our roads are a liability that we will
allways have and it is only through
permanent built roads that our ex
penditures in that direction will be
decreased and bring about an in
creased and contented population of
our whole county.
SCHOOLS.

islation that is friendly to our schools
and that will bring them to a higher
standard. I believe our teachers
should be paid promptly and that
our school fund should reach the
schools without delay and interest
on them. Certain funds set apart
by law do not reach the county su
perinten'dents "till December. I shall
support such legislation that will
insure prompt payment of these
funds to the schools and I shall use
my every effort to find some way by
which the state may catch up with
her obligations to her schools. So
great a state as Georgia should find
the way to promptly pay this her
greatest institution.
STATE RAILROAD.
I am opposed to the sale of the
Western & Atlantic Railroad pro
perties and will lend my support to
the leasing of this valuable asset and
at the same time will endeavor to
obtain for the state a higher rental.
And keeping in mind that which is
fair and just I will try to secure for
this county primarily, then neces
sarily the other counties in which
this road lies, a per centum of the
rent .as a tax to aid in the expense
we have to bear in connection with
litigation for the lessees of this pro
perty.
TAXES.
I shall scek to eliminate waste in
the -administration of our govern
ment and shall strive to enforce
strict economy in our public officials
whereby our tax rate may be greatly
lowered.
Pledging myself to these princi
ples, a square deal to the whole peo
ple and respectfully asking your sup
port I submit my candidacy to you.
Sincerely,
adv. JOE ABBOTT.

DB W. M. KEMP IN
RACE FOR LEGISLATURE
To the White Voters of Cobb County:
I beg to announce myself as a can
didate to represent our county in the
legislature, subject to the will of the
people as expressed at the Democra
tic white Primary in August.
If elected I will do my -utmost to
faithfully serve the public interest.
One of the mos§ pressing questions
before the people of Georgia today
is the burdensome tax under which
they struggle, in spite of which the
state is falling behind every year,
having accumulated to date a float
ing debt of near a million dollars.
I favor most rigid economy and
retrenchment in the administration
of state affairs so that Georgia may
live within her income and promptly
meet all her obligations.
W. M. KEMP, M. D.
ADDRESS OF COL. BLAIR
BEFORE HIGH SCHOOL
The following speech of Col. D.
W. Blair was made recently upon
the occassion of the presentation of
the American flag to the High School
and is published by request of a
number of those who heard it and
wished to have a copy to keep.
This is no little event in the his
tory of this school. No American
boy or girl can be educgted without
a knowledge of his country’s flag
and the principles it represents. It
is most appropriate that this dedi
cation is by the Daughters of the Am
erican Revolution, for this flag is a
product of that Revolution, and if
I remeber history correctly the
first flag was the handiwork of the
Daughters of 1777. It is therefore
with supreme gratification that we
accept, in behalf of this student body
and those that may come after them,
this glorious ensign of our coun
try.
The history of the American flag
is an education within itself. ([t
takes us back to Concord and Lex
ington and Bunker Hill; to Valley
Forge and Trenton; to Eutaw
Springs and the Cowpens; to Sara
toga and Yorktown. It tells us of the
heroic struggles, trials, hardships
and sacrifices of Washington and
Green; of Light Horse Harry Lee
and Mad Anthouy Wayne; of Fran
cis Marion and thousands of others,
who forsaking homes, wives and
children, put their all upon the altar
for their country’s freedom. It sail
ed with Perry over Lake Erie when
he met and destroyed the enemy’s
fleet. It was at Decatur's mast-head
when he thundered at Tunis and
Tripoli and humbled the Mediterran
ean pirates into respectful recogni
tion of this country’s prowess. Tt
witnessed the slaughter of the Brit
ish at New Orleans by Old Hickory.
It marched with Scott and Taylor
into the land of the Aztecs and stood
sentinel for them on the walls of
the city of the Montezumas. It wen*
with Perry in 1855 on a mission of
peace to Japan and opened the gates
of that country to all the nations of
the earth. It reflected the glories otl
the American navy witQ Dewey at
Manilla Bay, and was victorious on‘
land and sea at Santiago. Its history
is the history of the patriots and '
heroes of our country, of its victor-}
ies and noble achievements, on land
and water, in peace and war. What
a glorious heritage is ours.
But what is more important than
all these is what it stands for—
the principles it represents. The
stripes tell us of thirteen struggling
colonies—weak, oppressed, disunited.
The stars point to a galaxy of states.
welded together into a great nation.
The fathers said that the white re
presented purity of purpose, the red
valor and the blue, Justice. May
we not add that to us the red is in
sacred memory of the heroic blood
shed by Montgomery on the Heights
of Abraham, by Pulaski at Savannah,
and by the thousands of other heroes
who gave their lives for the cause
of their country and its freedom. It
represents the sacred principles
enunciated in the Declaration of In
dependence, and enacted in that stiil
greater document, the Constitution
of the United States—union, justice,
liberty and independence. It repre
sents more than any flag that floats
—a government by the people and
for the people, with no earthly power
supreme over them. There is not a
] nation on the globe but knows that
| if it should offer an indignity to this
' flag today, that before noon to mor
{row the drum beats would sound
from Plymouth Rock all the way to
the Golden Gate.
| It is the exponent of American
manhood and womanhood—this
country’'s greatest asset. In every
clime, on every sea, it tells of a na
tion of freemen where civil and re-

ligious liberty are supreme, a land
where the keystone of our govern
ment is the devotion of our people
to our country’s institutions, em
blems and traditions. If that fails,
all fails. Our love to our flag is but
the measure of our devotion to our
country. It is the symbol of that
faith that is within us that the dead
have not died in vain and that free
dom, union and liberty shall never
perish from this land.
“Breathes there the man, with soul
so dead,
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land!
Whose heart hath never within him

As home his footsteps he hath turn

From wandering on a foreign strand.
If such there breathe, go, mark him
well;
For him no Minstrel raptures swell;
High though his titles, proud his
name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can
claim;
Despite those titles, power, and pelf,
The wretch concentred all in self
Living shall forfeit fair renown.
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he
