OPPONENT WISE
Sixth District Congressman, at
ThomaSton, Answers Fay
etteviIe Mans Speech.

THOMASTON. GA. Aug. 7.-Charles
l.. Bartlett, of Macon, candidate for re-
election to congress from this, the Sixth
district. who has served eighteen con-
secutive years. made a speech here in
the court house before 400 voters and
created a strong impression For nine
consecutive years the voters of Epson
have carried this county in his favor,
this being the first county to ever sup
port him. This time he is meeting with
considerable opposition here.
After being introduced by Allen Will
liams, of Yatesville. Mr. Bartlett spoke
for two hours. He quoted frequently
from the Griffin speech of his opponent,
]. w. Wise, of Fayetteville. and said
that Mr. Wise was a kind of semi
Solomon who knew about half Of
everything, except congress and the
congressional record He said Mr..
Wise had stated that he was not a
member of any important committee in
congress. Judge Bartlett stated that he
was a member of the appropriations
committee, committee so important
that no member of congress could serve
on any other committee if placed on it.
Arguing that seniority was of great
advantage, he stated that he had been
in service longer than any other mem-
Der, save one,
Replying to Mr.. Wise's statement that
he had done nothing but send out
speeches and garden seed" he went
into some of the measures advocated by
himself. some of which he passed over a
Republican house. While a member of
the committee on banks and banking,
he said, he offered the amendment.
which passed, that national banks pay
interest on government money on de-
posit thereby earning thousands of dol
lars annually to the government, and
that 1t was his amendment that secured
the first appropriation for the depart
