Makes Himself at Home and

Politics.

By WIDEMAN LEE.
Warm Springs, Ga., July 17.—While
William Travera Jerome was talking
several men Monday afternoon,
converaatlon drifted to active cam
palgns for political office. He wgs told
something of the present gubernatorial
campaign In Georgia, of which he had
heard a little.
"I heard thla campaign had been go
lag on for elx months, but a year la
mile more than I can Imagine,” said
Mr. Jerome. “Six weeks Is enough for
me. In my last campaign 1 spent six
weeks st steady work for the office
district attorney and It was rather
strenuous In tbs extreme. 1 should
think the people would get thoroughly
worn out with a campaign lasting
yesr.”
Political methods, as pursued In se
curing offlee, were touched on by the
men talking and on the subject Mr,
Jerome seemed 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
there were enough people who thought
to elect, and with that Idea I have
gone In and dealt with the Issues as
they seemed to me to require. 1 have
no faith In the trumpery of the dem
tgogue.
"Speaking of political campaigns,'
continued Mr. Jerome, "the only time
1 ever saw any reason to be at all sorry
lor having the support of newspapers
was timing my last campaign. There
were three or four of the reporters who
went around with me all the time and
I was making five speeches a night. As
those reporters were always on hand
taking down everything I said, I had
to get a new speech every night and
they hnd me going there for a while.
"However, newspapers are great
thing*. I have many friends among
the reporters of New York. I have
h«d so much to do with them in the
l»»t few years that 1 have come to
•now them and their game. My office
there is one of the greatest space-
makers in the Hast.
"Yellow Journalism of the rank aort

and the wholesale denunciation prac

CASE IS PENDING
AGAINSHIRARDEAU
It I* Charged He Has Not Got an
Insurance Broker’s
License.
What Is an Insurance broker? At
present none of the city officials seem
to be exactly clear as to ths answer,
but at the next meeting of the tax
committee {his 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.
At tha present time no Ineurance
man In the city le charged the 1200 In
eurance broker's license, although a
case Is pending against C. H. Girar
deau, a wall-known real estate man of
this city.
W. P. Pattlllo brought tha matter to
it Is claimed that Mr.
been writing lire Insurance without li
cense. It ts further claimed that Mr.
Girardeau baa been writing Are Ineur
ance for J. L. Riley agency.
■There has not been for a number of
year*, any Insurance brokers licensed
In Atlanta, all the business being writ
ten direct through .the local agents, and
It Is contended by Mr, Girardeau that
the Venable law wes made to provld
In companies not authorised to do bus
iness In the state, thus securing for
the city a 8200 tax on such business.
To Impost a tax on the business he has
placed with the Riley agency. It la
contended, would'result In double tax
ation, as not only a percentage of
premiums la paid upon it, but tha reg
ular agent's license fees for that agen
cy. on the other hand. It Is alleged
that Mr. Girardeau haa not acted
strictly as a solicitor, but has placed
his business with the Riley agency and
received a commission on It. Ha Is at
present a candidate for treasurer of
Fulton county, and alleges that poli
tics Is behind the present charge made
against him. Should the tax commis
sion rule that ha Is liable for tne tax
a number of other Are Insurance solic
itors In the dty may be affected.
Some year* ago the city attorney
made a ruling In a com similar to the
one now before the tar committee. The
city attorney ruled that tha man was
an Insurance broker.
It Mr. Girardeau le taxed 2200 It will
set a prestige and many more Insur
ance men In Atlanta will be subjected
to the same license.
License Inspector Ewing said Tues
day. that there was absolutely no poli
tics in the case, so far as ha knew, but
that he believed there were a number
of Insurance brokers In tha city, and
that they should be taxed the 2200 stip
ulated.
