Walker A Hard Worker.

gresham J. Randall Walker, from
the esteemed Hazelhurst News.
Congressman Walker is clearly en-
titled to the consideration Of the PEG
pie of the district and our HazeIhursi
namesake points out why this is true
Here it Is:
Many good reasons can be nam
ed why Hon. J. Randall Walker should
be reelected to Congress. Take # for
granted that some Of his opponents
are equally capacitated and then the
fair minded man will admit that the
experienced man can render greater
service to his constituents and the
country at large than the inexperienc.
go who would have to work his way
up and It would be three years or
more before he would reach the de.
gree of prestige now held by Congress
man Walker.
y, is is a critical period in .he his
tory of our county M living man
'an foecast the future and fer this
reason If there were no other we
n uld not swap horses in the middle
q the stream.
You can hear SOM people say that
Mr. Walker has don nothing. Could
any Of his opponents have done more :?

tisn history records within life
t'#e. Read and thiu% over the ar
| ticle Tn the Ma loi II magazine
@h,cl n peared in this paper. Among
tther things it said: although rep.
resentatiye Walker Is regarded as a
strong public speaker and orator in
| Georgia, he has modestly refrained
from forcing himself into many of the
| debates in the House. But he has
won his spurs and his right to be
htard. He distinguished himself re.
GENTLY in his able advocacy of rural
| credits legislation, his speech on the
subject being regarded as one OF the
ablest ever heard in the House. This
Is evidence that Walker has not made
an ass OF himself which he would have
done had he butted into everything
which come up for discussion when
older representatives were more en-
| titled to be heard, His wise course
has gained the good will of the other
members which fortifres him for real
achievements.
(Yos, YOU can hear II from certain
sources that rural credits as passed is
a Gold brick" no good, to the farm
ers. Some people rejected the sound
doctrine of Christ 1916 years ago and
their defendants are at 1t yet. There
are good reasons perhaps for those
who have money to loan to oppose
rural credits and try to defeat the
faithful Congressman who did his
best for the farmer, About all the
big Democratic dailies say that this
rural credits legislation means the
emancipation of the sarmer. that he
can quit paying II per cent interest.
Il actually appears that Walker has
done too much instead OF not enough
as allegedl
No district in Georgia has a more
subservient Congressman than j.
Randall Walker. He has repeatedly
said and still says that he stands
ready with uplifted hands to serve
his constituents and bids them cali
upon him when they need him.
The greatest reason OF all why Mr.
Walker should be reelected is that he
has had opposition every time he has
made the race. This is not fair to
him and ii is hurtful to the district
While he is at his post of duty doing
his utmost for the people. there ere
all sorts of reports being circulated
about him at home. II is said tina; he
has done nothing and af-sii to come
home and face the people. When he
comes TO put the truth before his con.
stituents, he is charged with neglect.
ing his duties Is fair play lest
art?
