Opposes Cotton Price Fixing
Our Southland is the one great cot
ton producing section and this indus
try should be fostered and built up to
profitable basis and the price regu-
lated only by the law Of supply and
demand. i am opposed to limiting its
price by legislation.
8. That the money already provid-
ed by the government for Georgia
highways, which through technicali
should be speedily obtained and grad
ed roads constructed throughout the
entire state.
4. Provide for labor in all branches,
just and adequate compensation that
all engaged therein may receive ample
compensation enabling them to live
comfortably and raise and educate
their children to useful and prosperous
pursuits.
5. Provide for the education Of peo-
pie living in the country on the same
basis of efficiency as those in the cit
les, and put the power Of the federal
government behind a nationwide edu-
cational uplift.

foreign immigration and believe that
America should be preserved for our
own great natural growth.

sonable returns upon legitimate invest
ments, that our industries may be

tect the rights of the states, under

ization in all lines of endeavor is es-
sential to success.

church and state.
For Government Ownership.
IL. l endorse the taking over and
operation of the railroads by the gov
eminent during the present war
emergency, and believe that it will and
should result in government owner
ship.
49, I favor honesty and integrity
in the political world. I oppose using
money, liquor or the promise of office
for the purpose of securing votes. II
is very dangerous for the welfare OF
the country that candidate should be
surrounded by and dependent upon
government contractors and office
seekers for contributions with which
to carry on campaign for United
States senate and I oppose it.
| A. 1t is equally dangerous ant
reprehensible for an highly paid Off
cial to "resign" effective months ant
months ahead, and then devote practi
cally no time to official duties, but use
both the time and the salary rightful
ly belonging to the people in further
ance of a campaign for the United
States Senate.
| Is. / propose to pay my own ex
penses in my race, and to accept NJ
contributions from any person, firm OF
corporation, and to go in pledged only
to the people Of the entire State Of
Georgia without regard to locality OF
section. m
l respectfully solicit the support o.
every voter Of the state in the coming
primary.
Yours faithfully,
H. H. DEAN.
