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. | W\ = \\\ 3\\ > //g‘{, W o i AN 227 [T sy~ 4 ‘E:\'h-—; P /":'g‘: ; g ‘\si—?fl"-'\fif}‘idj \ u\’ . 6’/ S The labor problem is already serious, and there 18 promise of it becoming a great deal more so.
