Letting One Cat
Out of One Bag
THIS WILL TELL YOU SOMETHING.
Scmething that has been a 2 big secret—till
now.
It is not at all confidential, after this." You
may tell it to anybody who comes along.
We are not even making it look like a secret.
We are not wrapping one arm around your
reck and whispering these werds into your ear.
We don’t hug. And we don’t whisper.
Now listen:
You have heard of these big meetings our
old friend Whispering John Holder has been
‘presiding over, up 2nd down Georgia these past
few weeks. Road meetings. With lots of good
folks attending them. Losing time and money
to attend them. Asking thot their counties be
given such and such new mileage from the 800
surplus miies of State Aid Rouds that were left
unapportioned and on the highway depart
ment’s hands. Asking Whispering John. . . .
REME}VIBER THESE THINGS? :
MAYBE YOU attended one of them. With
your neighbors. Big gatherings, they’ve been
—everywhere, Lots of cars. With banners,
most of the time. Now and then a brass band.
Sometimes there would be delegations coming
by special train. Fine meetings of fine folks
trying to do a fine thing for the home county.
All rallying around—to ask Whispering John.
Remémber? Remember how Whispering
John, after the mecting, would cut loose with
somay plain and fancy hugging and whispering
off in a corner with the leaders, one at a time?
Isn’t old W/ hispering the best at that you EVER
saw? ;
THE HIDEOUS TRUTH
DID YOU hagpen to be one of the leak..?
If not, do you remember how the word was
passed around later—quiet Jke—that every
thing would be all right for your county; that
Whispering John was going to look after it per
sonally? Remsember that? . .. And if you hap
pened to be picked for hugging and whispering,
do you remember how old Whispering ended up
by inquiring in a casual sort of way about how
your county secmed to stand for him in the
governor’s race? Remember Ihat?
Well, the hidecus truth is that Whispering
John has been stringing cverybody. Just pull
ing the wool over folks’ cyes because he
thought he could get away with it. Making
hundreds of people spend lots of their own
money, and making the¢ state spend lots of your
good money, on transportaticn and hotel bills
and bands and banners and all the rest of it—
for what? Just to play politics for bimself.
Just to dangle a piece of road before you and
play for your county. Just that!
Just io dangle before you A PIECE OF
ROAD THAT DOES NOT EXIST!
That's the secret! That’s the cat out
of the bag!
A PIECE OF ROAD THAT DOES
NOT EX:ST!
Eight hundred locse miles of State Aid Road?
Eight hundred bugs!
OFFICIAL FIGURES
ON AUGUST 2, 1926, a direct question to
the State Treasurer’s office brought an ofiicial
reply. That reply was known beforchand, of
course, but when it became official it cleared
away all the flubdubbery and bumble-swash so
typical of Whispering John. :
WOMAN PHONES FRIENDS
SHE SLEW HER HUSBAND
NEW YORK, August 12— (#)—
Mrs. Rose Ferreri likes to use the
telephone but now that her mission
gcem to have been fulfilled, she may
not have many more opportunities
to indulge.
For a week she continually called
up friends to ask whether police were
soarching for her and to exclaim
she was glad she killed her hushand
Andrew Ferreci a week ago in a
pawn shop, the authorities assert.
Somehody decided to let the police
know about her hobby,
When three detectives closed in
on her Mrs, Ferreri was putting in
another call for a friend.
She is said to have admitted to
rolice that she shot her husband be
cause he demanded that she be “a
common woman.”
A switch has been invented with
which the gas in a water heater cun
be lighted from any room in a
house, being turned off automaticale
ly at any set time by clockwork.,

Here is the official facee =~ 77
Since January 1 of this year—for months
and months, and long before Whispering John
started his use of state funds for this par
ticular form of personal campaigning—since
January 1 of this year the State Treasuret’s
office has been in’official possession of official
notification from the State Highway Depart
ment of official apportionment among Georgia’s
counties of 6,250 official miles of State Aid
Roads. The treasurer has been paying out the
gas tax all these months on this basis: 6,250%
miles apportioned, fixed, distributed, officially
assigned and’ alrdidy disposed of—by the State
Highway Department, of which Whispering
John is chairman and the whole cheese.
And the law of Georgia limits State Aid
Roads to 6,300 miles total.
“The difference between 6,250% and 6,300
is 49%. .
With 4914 miles of State Aid Road
authorized and not yet apportioned,
Whispering John has played 4914 sepa
rate and distinct varieties of hugging poli
tics in every part of Georgia. With the
state’s money—YOUß money—paying
his expenses!
He thought he could get away with it!
LISTEN FOR THE ANSWER!
BUT WHAT do the folks that he fooled—
what do they think? :
Ask them! ghls s O
Just ask them— : )
“Would you want a GOVERNOR like
that?
“Would you want a man who plays lit
tle tricks on the people?
“Would you tolerate the thought of a
man who is free and liberal with his prom
ises of official funds, loose with his official
spending of the state’s money, self-serving
with “his administration of a responsible
state office that directs the expenditure of
millions of dollars?
“Do you believe the inefficiency and
. waste of the present state highway organi
zation is the fault of the worried and
harassed employces who-do their best with
' what they are told to do, or is it the fault
of Whispering Jobn alone—the man who
hires them and fires them, pays them and
bosses them; the famous Whispering John
of the notorious Midnight Bill that' nobody
saw or heard of until after the legislature
adjourned—the Midnight Bill of the clos
ing minutes of the session—the Midnight
. Bill that took frem the department execu
" tives and gave to the board itself full con
~ trol over every petty and minute detail of
~ the department’s great personnel, and then
- in the seme breath stipulated that the
chairmar, W hispering: Jobn, should BE the
board w/i uever the board was not in ses-

Y “Would ycu want a governor
like THAT?
Ask them. And LISTEN for THEIR
