thN measurable success has been and
is being realized. Our conditions are
improving. crime in general is on the
decrease, and there is an awakening
of the public sentiment throughout
the circuit that makes crime unpop-
ular and more difficult.
These are the things that have
stood for and will continue to stand
for. Good people over the circuit
have shown their appreciation by ex-
pressing to me their full satisfaction
with my administration and by pledg-
ing their support for my reelection.
And to You Cobb county people,
among whom / have lived and labored

your approval, endorsement and ac-
tive support. assuring you that if

der democratic usage, l feel that /
am entitled to reelection without OPP

/ have endeavored to administer
the laws fairly and impartially, in
business-like manner, and with
minimum of cost | have endeavored
to treat all our people fairly in max
ing appointments, by giving the diff

/ have devoted my time to the dis

l have had no favorites to serve
nor enemies to punish, and this is an
important factor in the administra-
ton Of law and justice. / have not
played politics, built political ma
chimes, nor fomented fractional strife.
Partisan politics in the judiciary is
utterly incompatible with a just ad-

ries in our county, and other coun-
ties Of the circuit, have commented
with approval upon the fact that our
courts are free from politics. All
right thinking people know the great
Importance Of this fact in the admin
istration Of justice.
Since l have been your judge,
have endeavored to reduce crime by
inspiring a more wholesome respect
for law among our people. 1t is well
to punish crime but it is infinitely
better to prevent it. 1t is right to
enforce the laws but it is far better
to have them obeyed. This can be
accomplished only when there is a vi
talizing sentiment among our people

Marietta, Ga, June 26, 1924.
To the White Voters of Cobb
County:
| hereby announce my candidacy
for the Legislature, as one of the
members to be elected from Cobb
county, subject to the rules and reg
ulations Of the white Democratic pri-
mary called for Sept. 10, 1924.
In the special election of July 16,
1928, l was a candidate to fill the va
cancy caused by the untimely death
of Hon. Herbert Clay. In this cleo
ton | admittedly received a majority
of the white votes Of the county.
The opposition to my candidacy at
that time organized and voted the
negroes, male and female, solidly
against me. In making this race /
stand upon all the principles pub
lished in my platform at that time,
and now | reaffirm my allegiance to
those principles and in addition
thereto stand everlastingly for the
eternal principle Of government
ruled exclusively and entirely by the
white voters of Georgia. l hold that
no necessity or expediency of faction
or clique has any right to impair or
tamper with this principle of white
supremacy.
My fight is a common fight Of all
the white people Of this county and
there is no question for your consid-
Grafton this year that is as vital as
is this question. / call upon you to
rise up and by your ballots prove
that Cobb county will always repu-
date any effort to bring the negro
back as an equal of our white men
and women at the ballot box.
If elected, ! promise faithful per-
Torrance of the duties of this office
and will endeavor, at all times, to
represent the people of this county to
the very best Of my ability.
Your vote and influence will al
ways be appreciated.
Respectfully submitted,
