Fitzgerald leader enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ben Hill County, Ga.) 1921-1964, 1924-06-05
LET'S MAKE IT UNAN1MoUs-Jerome lone:

editor OF the Journal of Labor, edtorially pre-
sents the Hon. John T. Boifeullet for reelection
to the Georgia Public Service commission, in a
recent issue of his paper, to which we give our
full endorsement In presenting Mr. Boifeullets
candidacy the Journal said:
"There are men in Georgia to whom the people
of the state owe debt OF service rendered-serv-
ice that cannot be measured by dollars and cents
who have truly filled the position of public
benefactors.
'There are not many in this class; they are
few in number, for few there be in any common
wealth who combine those qualities of mind and
heart that fit them for the position. We say few
there be in Georgia and among the few one stands
out in bold relief as the evening star shines
with luster that pales other stars in the firma-
ment-and that man is John Boifeullet.
GAS clerk of the house of representatives he
has not only been obgng to all but many news
paper has had his professional duties made
easier by the aid of the affable official
"For twenty five years he has been the staunch
and true friend OF the Masses not calling atten-
ton from the housetops to valiant deeds perform
ed heroic acts rendered in the interest of la
bor but day by day doing and acting those things
for labor that placed the of toll in position
far and beyond the creature pictured by Markham
in his poem "The Man With The Hoe"
"He was the friend who advised when the with
holding would have been more profitable
when labor was in need of spokesman out
side of labors' ranks regardless of what social
or diofnvor foil ToL,
Boifeuet, seeing only the business of the cause
and the awful struggle of labor to meet Ameri-
can standards industriay and intellectually, vol
unteered his time and intellect to the cause The
history of labor in Georgia be truthfully
written with the Of John Boifeullet omitted.
"The old veterans for years have heard him tell
in his own sweet way the glory of the "Lost
Cause"
"He has responded to the call of Georga's chill
dren for broader and better school system that
they might have the same opportunities as other
children.
I'm every endeavor that made for a higher wo-
manhood and protection of home and fireside John
Bofeullet has ever been friend and defender
John Boifeullet representative of this coun-
try abroad added largely to- the good opinion Eng
land entertains for us as a nation and our represen
tatives scholars and diplomats.
ohm Bofeullet has served his state, has serv-
ed his country-has served personally people of
high and low estate. Therefore, The Journal of
Labor dominates John Boifeuet for one of the
places on the public service commission and asks
that the state press join us in requesting the good
people of the state to allow honorable friend
to take his position without let or hindrance.
This is the least can proffer the honorable gen
tleman for his years of service conscientiously
rendered.
"The Journal of Labor in the name of all the
people dominates Mr. John BoifeuilIet for place
the public service commission and requests
the state press to second the nomination and
move he be elected by accamation."
