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 FINN1TES ARE NEXT VICTIMS THAT IS, THE NA8HVILLE PLAY ERS ARE HERE, AND MAY BE THEY WILL LOSE. 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.

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: J.
