PALMER SPENT 85,000, '
Atlanta newspapers, champions of
the Unholy Alliance and sponsors for
the infernal triangle, are gloating this
morning over the fact that the mana
ger of the Palmer campaign committee
told the Senate ,the Attorney Gener
al’s forees spent $5OOO in the recent
primary in the state yea when one
comes to consider the facts it is sur.‘
prising that the sum was no larger
and an outstanding eredit to Georgia
patriotism that $5OOO and Georgians
good sense made the wonderful show
ing that it did.
Palmer was and is largely a stran
ger to Georgia, To introCuce him to
any number of Georgians is bound
to have cost enormously and his or-
ganization in many counties was
forced to pay a half of the expenses of
holding the primaries which alone may
eagily have cost the $5OOO.
Attorney General Palmer a stran.
ger in the state without personal ac
quaintances and with little party pres.
tige spent $5OOO to get a plurality of
the votes in the convention. ~For a
measly $5OOO and sound sense and pa
triotis mof Georgians, Palmer got the
leadership in the race.
Now let’s look at the others.
Watson, with the good Lord, knows
how many of his anti_draft dollars as a
subsidy, was enabled to run newspaper
without an average of ten inches of
advertising a week and any newspaper
man knows that to run a sheet without
advertising and plenty of it is as im
possible as the millineum. According
¢o his own statement, published in his
paper Watson at the time of the pri
mary was paying 15 cents a pound for
newsprint and he certainly was carry
ing no advertising. His subsecription
price is $2 per year. Will any pub
lisher agree that this is, enough to pay
for the cost of the stock going into his
sheet without any account being tak
en of expenses of labor and salary for
Mr. Watson and his editorial force.
It certainly must have cost 1.8 W
or at least his deluded supports, some
~ney to make the ‘race.
' as for Hoke, for 10, these many
announcement has been the
"« gatisfaction in the offices
newspaners in Georgia.
yws the value of self praise
knows that the only way in
he can get himself praised in
ia is by paying for the space at
Jdar rates,
Most Georgia newspapers in county
ite towns get a minimum of 25 cents
for political advertising, many get a
good deal more, possibly a few less,
but none certainly less than 20 cents.
Be it said to Marse Hoke's credit,
he didn’'t stint himself on space. He
advertised well, but don’t ever think
that he didn’t pay for it. The Geor
gin papers got their money.
We have no way of knowing, but
there are more than 200 newspapers in
Georgin and we believe it is safe foj
say that the Hoke Smith vampnigui
committee spent an average of
sso° with each one of them, this on:
item alone totaling twice as much as
the total expenses of the Palmer peo
ple. To add to that are the Senators
speaking expenses. His expenses in
traveling over the state and to and
from Washington, for Hoke long ago
turned his back on the fleshpots of the
railroad pass. Then there was money
for the county organization, for the
wool hat boys, and all the usual de
mands that are made on any candidate.
Hoke spent money, as is his wont. He
has always spent money since the 1906
race proved its value to Hokep To
anyone who pretends to know any
thing of campaign expenses in Geor
gia, Palmer’s paltry $5,000 and his
winning race seems almost an insult to
the kingly Hoke and his possibly $lOO,-
oeo,
Yet the organs of the desirovers
bleat. Hearsts Georgian, barred from
the mails of at least one neighboring
nation, is happy. The Journal, firm in
its conviction that Hoke is inviolate,
trying its best to foliow him when it
admits that his tactics and principles
are ones that the Journal as a seif
respeetirg Democratic newspaper, find
it hard to swallow, tell the world in
big headlines, the expenses of the Pal
mer committee in Georgia.
That is one source of gratification to
Georgians. It didn't take much mon
ey to keep Georgia in line. The right
was call enough to Georgians. The blood
of her sons made money im;mtvnt.;
Palmer spent $5,00) in Georgia. |
