He said he had to investigate me

TO THE PEOPLE OF COBB
COUNTY:

am candidate for reelection
to the judgship of our circuit. I'm
der democratic usage, | feel that
! am entitled to reelection without op-
position.
have endeavored to administer
the laws fairly and impartially, in
buslness-like manner, and with a
minimum of cost. | have endeavored
to treat all our people fairly in max
ing appointments, by giving the diff
ferent political parties representa-
ton, and above all by appointing men
who enjoy the confidence of their fell
lowmen for uprightness and fairness.
| have devoted my time to the dis
charge of the duties of my office,
and have had no other business or
calling to interfere with this work.
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 factional strife.
Partisan politics in the judiciary is
utterly incompatible with a Just ad-
mlnlstration of the laws. Grand iu-
rles 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 | have been your Judge, /
have endeavored to reduce crime nv
inspiring a more wholesome respect
for law among our people. It 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 vi
talizing sentiment among our people
for the unfolding of our laws and a
readiness on their part to discharge
the duties of good citizens. I have
labored for improvement along these
lines and it is gratifying to know
that 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 I 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
for more than forty years, and who
know me best, / come asking for
your approval, endorsement and ac-
tive support, assuring you that if
given, it will be most gratefully APP
preciated. l am,
Very sincerely,
D. w. Blair.

Latitude in Styles Is
Noticeable This Season

Such wide latitude in styles is shown
that the leading vogue is difficult to
define. The straightline, the chemise
frock, oftenest beaded and embroid-
cred for evening wear, holds its popu-
larity.
Many variants Of this silhouette ara
shown In the new silky fabrics. with
the introduction Of novel effects In
panels, scarfs, sashes, capes. There
are efforts to revive the pannier and
the circular skirt and godet are sue
cessfully done by some. But the nov
city Of the moment is the tunic.
This model, breaking the line be-
tween the tubelike frock and the full
swinging skirt, is a grateful novelty
which promises to develop in many
attractive phases simultaneously
there are appearing new forms of the
sleeve, the future of which is await
ed with interest.
