conversation drifted to active cam.

something of the present gubernatorial
campaign In Georgia, of which he had
heard a little.

Mr. Jerome. "Six weeks la enough for
In my last campaign I spent six
week* at steady work for the office of
district attorney and Jt was rather
strenuous In the extreme. . I should
think the people would get thoroughly
worn out with a campaign lasting a
year."
Political methods, as pursued In se
curing office, were touched on by the
men talking and' on the Subject Mr.
Jerome aeemed to have decided Ideas,
u he has on most everything else.
"I don’t believe It Is necessary for
man to become a demagogue to be
elected to office In America. I have
always held In my own campaigns that
here were enough people who thought
to elect, and with that Idea I have
mne In and dealt with the Issues as
hey aeemed to me to require. I have
no faith in the trumpery of the dem
sgogue.
Speaking of political campaigns,
continued Mr. Jerome, “the only time
ever saw any reason to be at all sorry
or having the support of newspapers

were three or four of the reporters who
went nround with me all the time and
I wne mnklng live speeches a night. As

What Is an Insurance broker? At
present none of the city official* seem
be exactly clear as to the answer,
hut at the next meetlna of the tax
committee this subject will be freely
discussed by a number of the local in
surance men. The committee will
then decide whether or not there are *
any Insurance brokers In Atlanta.

the city a 3300 tax on such business.
To Impose a tax on the business he has

against him. Should the tax commis
sion rale that he Is liable for the tax
a number of other fire insurance solic

Some years ago the city attorney
made a ruling In a caa* similar to the
one now before the tax commltta*. The
city attorney ruled that the man waa
an'Insurance broker.
If Mr. Girardeau la taxed 1309 It will
set a prestige and many more Insur

to the same license.

day that ther* wee absolutely no poli

that he believed there were a number

that they ehoutd be taxed the 1300 stip
