C. _ Jacobs Building—Tele. 80 \ \ V \. \ Political Adevrtisement v To the People of Clinton: As announced last week, I am a candidate for the office of Mayor. I ask for your support in the; coming election. I f elected as your Mayor, I shall conduct the affairs of that office in the same manner and with the same interest and attention I give my own business. I fully realize that the Mayor Is not permitted to vote in Council Meetings except in the case of a tie v*>4e, but it is my belief 1 can work with the Council Members you eltfct to bring about an improve ment in the management of the city’s affairs. I am opposed to any waste of public funds. I favor beautifying and improving our cemeteries, parks and streets. 7* I favor correction of defects in our sewerage system, extension of sewer and water mains, ample fire protection, improvement of all of our streets, and fair treatment to all citizens in all sections of our city. Of course, the extent to which permanent improvements can be made will depend upon the funds available. I have not made and will not make any political promises to individ uals, groups—oF-eorporat ions to get elected. However, if I am elected, I will seek the cooperation of'all the members of the City Council you . e,ect to K ive aU of the people of Clinton a progressive, business adminis tration. J. FERDINAND JACOBS CANDIDATE for MAYOR ‘ \ Political Adevrtisement Of Laurens County: I am a candidate for State Senator from Laurens County. During the campaign meetings I shall give more fully in detail cer tain things I stand for. However, generally I favor: 1. Better roads for the citizens of the rural areas of this County. Many homes have electric lights and other comforts but have no all-weather roads to work, to church, and to school. I favor improving these roads immediately before these citizens give up their homes and move else where. Home ownership is the best cure for communism. 2. A return to real democracy and rule of the people through our duly ,elected and bonded officers. We need a reduction of boards and com missions and no longer need rule by one-man authority, and regulations made behind closed doors. The war emergency is over. The least governed people is the most happy people. Sufficient funds for our public schools, public school teachers and P u blic institutions such as our County Home and Training School cm- children are our finest assets. Our poor and our unfortunate must not suffer at our hands. 4. Some immediate State financial aid in addition to Federal aid. for the returned soldier to adjust himself to married life, college life or his profession or work. , , • . " • - . i 5. Sufficient funds for law enforcement and child protection during these critical days of juvenile and adult delinquency and of domestic relations." ■ ; , ' • • ■ • ■ • My hip* is fdr a unified, home-loving, law-abiding, tSspiious edu cated and happy people in Laurens County. To that end I offer my ser- vices. • • , RALPH T. WILSON ASKING TO BE YOUR SENATOR , r-
