The Leader, enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1915-1921, 1920-08-23

With all due respect to Mr.. Emory
4 Wilcox and his announcement Tor
/ representative of Ben Hill County,
we are free to say that every voter
should feel proud of any young man
Y III our community who is capable Of
NJ f.E7g the office of representative and
who can obtain the confidence nee
essary to induce a majority OF the
y rank and file of Ben Hill voters to
B support him.
y We have read Mr.. Wi1cox's an
h nouRcement carefully and we have
Mread5 many other announcements Tor
various offices of county and state.
We believe you will agree with us
Y that if Mr.. Wilcox is elected he will
{ not represent the interest of all the
people in this county that have an
! interest in this county and especially
. Fitzgerald.
We recognize Fitzgerald and Ben
Hill County as community where
harmony and cooperation should ex-
list especially between the business
men, if you please, and the laborer
because one without the other would
result in miserable failure from all
progressive angles.
The bankers, merchants, farmers
and professional men or Fitzgerald
apd Ben Hill County enjoy the profits
obtained from the earnings OF the
1aborers of this community. If this
is true, then why should this COM
munity be embroiled into a state OF
political confusion by contrasting this
community with others many miles
away?
IN the light of what Mr.. Wilcox
has had published against Union Ia
Dor he has not once distinguished be-
tween men who have just as high
ideals of just and honorable dealings
as he has, even though they may be
Union or non-Union men. Can you
see any personal incentive candl-
date for office may have when they
grasp a specific situation growing
out of either sensational or business
transaction and make capital of 1t,
.if you can't, consult an oculist.
: Did you ever know an individual
| M9 allowed their trend of thought
NJ main singularly upon one sub
1T that did not suffer with brain
e. = If not read some of the SEN
" q, of the day and you will find
that the victoms was imbued with
selfish desires and in such instances
social communities have suffered as
a result
1t is true that Union Labor and the
Managers of public Industries have
had conflicts in adjusting wages and
working conditions and, in such in
stances, strikes have occurred and
during the period of adjustment GER
tafn@ individuals have drifted into vi
cious acts as the result of brain
storms which is very natural for q
man who allows the animal instinct
to dominate his action.
We have no industrial strike on in
this community at present and those
,that have happened have been set
tied satisfactory between the con-
tractual parties just as soon as the
facts in the disagreement were OBJ
tanned and the laws of the Union Or
CARNATIONS were allowed to function.
In such instances it developed that
some members of the Unions were
in error and they were punished it
their Organization.
The question of electing repre-
sentative for Ben Hill County has
developed into a political whirlwind
of vicious propaganda by Mr.. Wilcox
who has searched the Local and Ma
tiona1 Press also the magazines cir
ctHated throughout the country for
information in his effort to stage his
position so the spotlight will center
on him, seated on the back of the
