S. Senate. Hon. Seaborn Wright, of Rome, the leader of the state prohibition light In Georgia In the house, spent Friday morning in Atlanta on his way home from Florida, where he haa been speak ing and waging a vigorous campaign for prohibition. “In my opinion,” he stated, “two- thirda of the people of Florida and Ala bama, if given a chance today, would vote for prohibition. This la a con servative estimate. "I have been speaking in Alabama and Florida,” he continued, “practically the Entire time since the legislature ad journed. The sentiment there Is Just as strong for prohibition as it is in this state. One county after another Is go ing dry and it Ih only a question of a short time before a statutory law is adopted in both states similar to the one we have. “Every county I have visited where elections have been held has gone dry, with- one single exception. In Pensacola the'Victory was only partial, as several districts did not go dry. “I spoke at Birmingham and An niston and the* smaller cities of Ala bama. In Florida I spoke at Jackson ville and^ went all the way down thfe peninsula to the beautiful city If Mi ami. A petition Is now being circulated In Jacksonville. “My observation Is that the manu facturers and the level-headed business men generally are falling In line for prohibition. It Is because of the labor troubles—the troubles with the negro. The race question and the prohibition question are linked closely In the South and this Is one of the underlying causes of the great prohibition wave that Is sweeping over the South.” Mr. Wright was asked If he Intended to run for the United States senate, as has been stated. “I have been too busy to reach any clear determination as to this,” he re plied, "and, therefore, would prefer nof jtvp* .liimiiii \ i iir.M, v. in w Pled by .othOi buslnerfsps Is Indicated by this new and by others which >elv( ,, , n the t . t rcus w have been published recenty.

He was escort ed to the state fair grounds this morn ing where he delivered an address. Many were the good humored thrusts which Mr. Bryan took occasion to aim at the president. He commented on President Roosevelt's tendency to bor row good things from the Democratic party—a process which Bryan describ ed as ''nibbling." Mr. Bryan gave his view, about rail rouds and government ownership. Said he; "It I* a prettj- good threat to hold over railroads, tor It they don't get out ot politics they will force government regulation of railroads. Why, that’s what the Democratic party has been lighting for for years. The question of government ownership has never been an Immediate question. It Is only an ultimate Issue—an ultimate remedy— and Is dependent upon the effectiveness of regulation. But today when we pro pose regulation we And some people opposed even to that.” , .Following the speaking Colonel Bry «n was tendered a luncheon by the management of the fair. This evening he will be the guest of honor at a din ner to which fifty people have been in vlted. Among these will be state ed ltora and visiting newspaper men.
