the state, to more than one hundred
OF my newspaper associates in many
sections of Georgia, to a number of
citizens of Dodge county where
formerly resided, and to the citizens
OF my home county where I was rear
ed and have spent the major portion
of my life, l respectfully announce my
candidacy for the office of commits
sion of commerce and labor, subject
to the state Democratic primary soon
/ to be held.
In becoming a candidate for this
position, l am sensible of the respon-
sibilities that will be incumbent upon
me and l will go into the office, if
elected, with the determination to be
fair to every interest, impartial as
between every class, active in pro-
noting the welfare of the state and
the people and efficient in discharging
the duties of the office.
Having for years labored diligently
to build up the waste places, to pro-
mote the commerce of the state, to
better conditions and encourage in
dustrial development having had con-
siderable experience as an. employer
and employee, and knowing we'll the
problems that confront each and SYM
pathizing with them, l feel sure that
l am in perfect harmony with every
| intent of the act creating the new de-
partment of commerce and labor and
as commissioner would be able to
| give a satisfactory account of my
stewardship to the sovereign people.
feel that l am capacitated to take
up the line of work laid down in the
foregoing excerpt from the measure,

success if l am chosen; not being in
any sense a partisan, l believe that
l would be able to impartially decide
between labor and capital; not be-
ing connected directly or indirectly
with any industry to be investigated

be the development of the department,
extending it's usefulness, increasing
its scope of work within the statute,
