First in Peace

The orders for Paige Cars since
Surrender Day." November elev-
enth, have eclipsed all autumn
records in Paige history. 1t demon
strates that Paige Car, considered
as utility-investment, is "First in
Peace'-as well as War.
However, let us frankly explain
our position. 1t is both gratifying
and embarrassing. Paige sales are
far above normal. And Paige pro-
duction is and, we fear, will continue
for many months to be, far below
normal.
The Paige promptly agreed to
every Government request. The
Day the Armistice was signed Paige
had practically reached hundred
percent War-Work basis. 1t had
taken us ten months to reach it.
Now the Government has lifted
and only partially lifted-the ban
on motor Car manufacture. We
still have War obligations to fulfill.
There is the question of steel.
Half of Europe must be rebuilt.
For nearly a year Americas own
construction and expansion have
been halted. For the Work of Peace
steel is needed as sorely as it was
COR the Work of War.
We recognize the needs of
motorists and dealers, who denied
during the War, are clarnoring for
Paige Cars. We are. concentrating
our energies upon this tremendous :
problem of raising a sub-normal
production to cope with a super
normal demand. And, while sol,
ing this problem, we ask the patienc
OF prospective buyers.

REP. WALKER IN FAVOR
OF OLD ROTATION
SYSTEM
Fitzgerald, Ga, Dec. 6, 1918.

Editor Leader Enterprise
Dear Sir: In your paper of recent
date | notice you are having some
thing to say regarding Senator to
be elected to represent our newly cree
ated district. You say Ben Hill
county is greatly interested in secur-
ing this much needed relief. You are
quite right. AS Representative of Ben
HILL county for four years, worked
hard and devoted much time in secur-
ing the passage of this law, and |
don't want our county to sit idly by
and go to the foot of the calendar
in the Senatorial contest. know
something of the figuring that has al
ready been done. | want to see Ben
Hill county get what it is entitled to
have. Now the question has been
brought to the attention of the pub.
lie. Let's feel our way into this, as
we have our neighbors joining us on
both sides (Irwin and Telfair coun-
ties). We want to be friends in the
years to come, and let me say now
, if the old system of rotation was good
and satisfactory why should we want
to call the executive committees to-
gether to upset the operation of that
system when it has been satisfactorily
fixed years ago. The passage of the
-, law creating this new district does
not necessarily change the rotation of
selecting a Senator to represent it.
No one has ever raised a kick about
the rotation system and | don't an
ticipate they will. Telfair and Irwin
counties know when Ben Hill coun,
tvs time comes to furnish this Sem
ator, and | cannot believe that Just
because we have new district either
of them would want to object to the
old rotation system.
The new law passed creating this
new district, in which | worked hard
! to pass as above stated, so did Irwin
county's representative, Mr.. Glenn
ents, as did Telfair's representative,
Mr. Smith. There were no special
privileges attached to the bill Great
ing it. No arrangements whereby any
county should have FIRST say as to the
/ Senatorship, the presumption was
that the old rotation system would
still be in force. The bill was passed
to get relief and to give us, Ben Hill,
Irwin and Telfair counties) represent
alton every six years instead of four
teen years, under the old law, and to
give this portion of the state more
representation in the state Senate,
which we are justly entitled to; ac-
