WESLY R. WALKER

l am candidate for the Lower
House of the General Assembly o.
Georgia to succeed the present incum-
bent, the Hon Wesley R. Walker.
My candidacy is not promised upon
any false conception of my own per-
sonal worth, neither has my ear been
glued to the political ground in the
self born hope that might hear the
distant rumbling of the splendid pole
tarict yelling to a tuneful call of a su-
perior citizenry to have me lend them
presence in the actions, councils anG
deliberations of the States law-makine
body.
There has been no such call.
Ny candidacy came into being lust
forty eight hours ago, when some OF
peniocracys strongest county leaders
came to me and urged that l submit
my name to the people as represen.
tatlTe | yielded to these solicitations,
not because they dove-ta;led into nv
owl. personal ambitions-for twenty
tive years | have been as shv of the
political lmelight as a boy is of his
tirst sWeethear-but because l long
have been convinced that. the electo-
rate of Ben Hill fairly deserves a full
ler, broader, and more direct repre-
sentation that that afforded by the
present and longtime holder OF This
signal position of trust and honor.
1t is no small thing to ask the suf-
frage OF great and prosperous poo
pie, but if I am elected 10 this high
post l pledge my most sacred word
to represent you, the solid voters, and
not myself and small ci1cle OF i'm
mediate intimates.
