THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
frank haralson is out Additional Sporting News
FOR THE GOVERNORSHIP FOR FULL PAGE CF SPORTS 8EE PAGE TWELVE.
His Platform is “Down With the Boll Weevil,
Cow Ticks and Booze, and Hurrah
For Free Passes.”
The following card of considerable
Interest, which apeaks loudly for It
self, has ben received by .The Geor
gian:
A reporter for The Georgian, having
heard It intimated that Frank L. Har
alson would at the proper time enter
the race for governor, called at hla of
fice and put the direct question to
Mm:
"Are you a candidate for governor?”
to ithJch he replied, "Yea, I am a can
didate for governor of the great, pro
self. has been received by The Geor-
£
“I am running as an Independent,
unorganised Democrat on the Republi
can platform—a big stick and a square
deal, subject to the Democratic pri
mary—If I am nominated. If I should
fsll In the primary, I will continue In
the race until after the general elec-
tton.
“I sm a strong believer In free
passes on hallroada—they are more
convenient than thousand-mile books;
and I have always ha dmy suspicions
about those books. I shall Immedi
ately make application to Mr. Samuel
Spencer for annual passes over hla
sntlre system of roads In Georgia, and
begin a red hot canvass of the state.
•The main Issue In my campaign
will be my patent medicine plank. You
are aware that patent medicine la the
greatest menace at this moment to the
welfare and happiness of the people
of this state. Railroad control and
nigger disfranchisement are nothing
to compare to the evil effects of patient
medicine. Every Issue that my oppo
nents are" storming the stump with
pates Into Insignificance when com
pared to patent medicine. All they
are dealing with Is Imaginary evils,
creatures of their own Imagination,
warning the people of what may hap
pen to them; mine Is what has, la and
will continue to make morphine vic
tims of children, take the roses from
the cheeks of fair women, make pe-
runa drunkards of our minister*—and
then what?
"I also am in favor of a strict pa
trol of the state line of Georgia for
the purpose of keeping out that new
mosquito that the doctors found last
year ih ; New Orleans. The only thing
they will have to do' wlll be to atop
him on the border and call him by
that new name they have given him
—I forget what that Is. but we can
drill the patrol until they learn to pro
nounce It; and I have no doubt that
not a single mosquito will enter the
state after being called that name.
•'What the farmers of this state
want to hear about are live Issues—
such as the boll weevil and cow ticks
And can you remember a single In
stance where either one of my oppo
nents has ever mentioned one of these
live Issues In this campaign? Every
one of them has had the distemper
since the campaign opened; but
neither one of them has known the
cause of the same. Yes, I believe In
the extermination of the cow ticks.
"No, 1 am not going to dodge the
liquor question; I believe In local op
tion, high license and good whisky. I
believe every man who Is granted a
license to sell whisky should be re
quired to sell from the faucet In tbs
barrel that has a double stamp on
the head of It; and to put any man In
the penitentiary for not less than five
years who sold or attempted to sell
anything but straight whisky. This
would knock all the hell out of the
whisky.
"If the Populist party Is anxious for
a first-class man to accept the nomi
nation' when they meet here on the
Glorious Fourth of July, I am the fel
low. as I stand ready to accept any
nomination from any party.
"After the final election I am going
to take my annual passes and go to
each militia district In the state and
have all the farmers In their respec
tive districts meet me before the Jus
tice of the peace and mak out an Item-
lied statement of the amount that any
railroad has Injured them, and hare
them then and there swear to the
same. Then after I have finished this
work and have been Inaugurated I
will call upon Mr. Sam Spencer to pay
the same. If he refuses or even hesi
tates 1 WILL PASS A LAW MYSELF
to have every railroad In the state of
Georgia abolished. And then what? 1
am very anxious that the voters of
Georgia will not pledge themselves
any further than the Democratic pri
mary, for I may have to continue In
the race. And then what?
"I am anxious about my frlende over
(he state of Georgia Under no cir
cumstances would I have them to poll
the people In my Interest.
. "Now, Mr. Reporter, I do not want
you to give me away about this In
terview; I don't want you to tell any
body that I sent for you and had this
whole thiny prepared before you

RURAL CARRIERS TO MEET
IN ATLANTA WEDNESDAY
The Rurql Route Carriers' Associa
tion of Oeorgla will hold Its fourth an
nual convention In Atlanta Wednes
day, July 4. Fully four hundred of the
1,(00 rural carriers In the state wjll be
present when the-meeting Is called to
order at 9 o'clock In the morning at
t|ie Federation of Trades hall, It 1-3
North Forsyth street.
On account of his .known .Interest In
the rural route carriers, and especially
as It was through his work that the
provision for a fifteen-day vacation
each year was Inserted In the post-
oMce appropriation bill this year. Sen
ator A. B. Clay has been Invited to be
present and address the convention. It
I* not known as yet whether he will be
able to accept or not. Mayor Wood
ward will deliver the address of wel
come to the visitors as soon as the
meeting opens.
J. A. Giles, of Elberton, Is the pres
ent president pf the association, and
one of the first things to be attended to
will be the election of a new president,
as Mr. Giles will not stand for re-elec
tion. It is probable that there will be
an exciting race between some repre
sentatives of north and a»?'h Geor
gia.
To Install Insuranca Fsature.
The most Important matter to come
before the association will be that of
Installing an Insurance feature similar
to that In operation among the city
carriers, whereby a death benefit of
IJ.ooo la paid when one of their num
ber dies. It Is probable that this will
be mads a feature of the association In
the future.
After the morning session Is over the
carriers will adjourn to Piedmont park,
where a barbecue will be served ikem.
Postmaster Blodgett, Clark Howell.
James G. Gray, Charles Daniel and
John Temple Graves have been invited
to make short addresses at the bar
becue. Late In the afternoon, after the
barbecue and sham battle are over,
the carriers will be carried out to
Ponce DeLeon to spend the evenlnr.
The committee on arrangements con
sists of the following rural route men
out of Atlanta: J. H. Williams, H. B.
Bankston. W. F. Ragsdale, R. O. Wal
ters, H. F. Williams and O. C. Head.
These are being assisted by the fol
lowing from the local postoffice force:
George C. Nealy, R. M. Hughes, E. J.
McCool, P. C. SterchL C. L. Jones, O.
W. Tate and J, L. Erwin. The commit
tee states that the citizen* ot Atlanta
have been exceedingly kind In the w».y
of making donations toward the en
tertainment of the visitors.
Conventions In the past havs all been
held In Atlanta, but this year Macon Is
making a strong bid for the meeting of
the carriers next year, and It Is more
than probable that they will meet there
or In some other centra] Oeorgla city.
NEWBORN WIN8, 14 TO 10.
Special to The Georgian.
Newtiorn. On., July 1—An Interesting
gams of ball was played here Saturday
afternoon between Newborn and Hbady
Dal*. The score eras 14 to 10 In favor of

WE8T END WON ifFGAME.
West End won a very fast game, played
Saturday afternoon with J. Regensteln
Company. The score was » to t In favor
of West End. The victory was due to the
superb pltrhtiig of Boggs and the careful
support back of him. The West End play-
got all their bits at the most oppor
tune times, and every error of the J.
Regensteln team told for a run. Boggs,
for West End, struck out seventeen men,
while Walker, of J. Regensteln, nearly
equaled blni with sixteen, and It would
have been a closer game but tor Walker’s
poor support. He pitched with a seal rare
In amatenr ball.
Following Is the score:
