Twenty Years Service

1t is now but four weeks until
the congressional primary. 1t goes
without saying that The Progress
never fails to find genuine pleas
ure in the announcement that Mr..
Sims offers for reelection. We
have not only been an observer of
local conditions but we have keen
~ watched the expressed sentiment
throughout the congressional dis
trict, and noted with satisfaction
that the voter year after year be-
comes less excited over the per-
sonal ambitions of the candidates
and more concerned over the ser.
vice to be rendered and with grow
ing tendency to "let well enough
alone"
When Mr.. Porter made his an
nouncement to make his second
try-Out as a congressional candi-
date, one tried to make survey
of conditions as to bis availability,
and, since we must judge things
by comparison, wetried to figure,
even giving him the benefit of ev-
cry doubt. in what way he could
be considered as more formida-
BILE candidate than was Gen. How
ard two years ago. Gen. Howard
was quite the equal if not the SUI
perior intellectually; a much older
man with a broader experience; he
was a public official whose people
had reelected him and kept him
in Office for more than twenty
years as attorney general, and no
man, especially one of Gen. How
ards temperament, could so long
mix with the people without max
ing friends, and such friends as
would have and exercise a person
al interest in his political fortunes.
Outside of Henry county there are
not 10 men of political strength
who have a personal interest in
Porter or Porter's account, for
those who are supporting him are
not specially for Porter but just
to Congressman Sims.
Gen. Howard is a much more Xix
able" man personally, better
mixer" as it is called. He had
large personal acquaintance in
eight of the ten counties of the
district, knowing practically every
voter in seven of the counties
where he held court-he knew in
fifty times the number
If voters than does Porter; he had
influential relatives in five of the
,en counties of the district which
gave him a strength Porter cannot
command. He had an Office to
surrender in event of his advance
nent to congress and from a polit-
cal viewpoint this was a valuable
Dsset; yet with all this advantage
S we see it in his favor as against
Porte'rs availability, Gen.
I'd could not succeed against
$, aad there WAS . reason

the reason being that the people
felt that they had in Congressman
Sims man wholly equipped for
the place, who stands as high as
any man in congress of the United
States, and whose every effort and
attention has been to serve the
people of his district. The one
thing that Porter can say that
Gen. Howard was estoped from
using is that he never held office
/ and believes in rotation in public
officials. This is an argument,
however, that appeals only to the
few-the very few that aspire to
Office, simply as place for them
selves in the government service.
The voter now appreciates that it
takes tenure in a legislative body
to get rank and results, and the
tendency everywhere is to keep
| the faithful representative just as
long as he will honestly serve
them. During Mr.. Sims long ca
reer he has never cast a vote of
which he is or was ashamed, or
for which it was necessary for him
to apologize, nor has Mr.. Porter
challenged a single vote or act Of
Mr.. Sims twenty years of activi-
ty, sufficient of itself to re-elect
the congressman.
Every vote he has cast has been
in keeping with principle; he does
nothing for expediency or for
show; he has none of the qualities
of the professional politician and
shuns notoriety and evades the
press agent. He is conferred with
by President Wilson in presenting
the administration measures and
enjoys the esteem and confidence
of the president and congressional
leaders.
Our interest in Mr.. Sims dates
back many years before he entered
public life. He cannot boast that
one grandfather was a governor
and the other a member Of con-
gress as does his opponent, but his
grandfatherS were of the sturdy
farmer class who earned their liv-
ing by the sweat Of the brow. Mr..
Sims had to make his own way in
everything he has undertaken in
life. AS struggling young man
he was known to be SO honorable
and dependable that he had no
difficulty in getting friends to lend
him the money to 60 to school and
later as a struggling young lawyer
repaid every obligation. He is
conservative in act and temperate
in speech, and especially now
when the honor Of the country is
being tried do We need that con-
and balance of which he
is possessed. The district should
be congratulated that Mr.. Sims
offers for reelection and our good
fortune to have such a man to be
our representative. Lexington
