R, L BERNER
IS A CANDIDATE,
The President of the Senate
Has Entered the Guber
national Race.
SYNOPSIS OF PLATFORM.
Anti-Monopoly and Combination
Feature Equal Taxes and Election
By People of Solicitors.
Hon. Robert L. Berner h a candidate for
governor.
He announced the same over his own
signature in the Journal yesterday after
noon, and enunciates with hi.» well know
clearness and distinctness his platform.
Mr. Berner s unnoun, em< nt is a surprise
and his platform is a sensation.
In it be lays down tne doctrine that it
is the duty of the state in its sovereign
capacity to enforce the competitive clause
of the constitution. He also declares it to
be the duty of the governor to institute
pr<x:e« dings for that purpose. He declares
against d.-crimination of freight ra*teo
benefiting large cities and acting as a bar
rier a- a growth of the smaller ones.
The tone of his platform on this ques
tion Is distinctly anti-corporation or
against the encroachments of the incor
porations, declaring, in other words, if
the people do not control the railroads the
railroads will control the people.
He also bitterly opposes the business
men’s convention recently held in Atlanta
for the purpose of exempting from taxa
tion, municipal and county, new manu
facturing enterprises to be erected. All
prosperity, he says, snoald contribute alike
and tqually to the support of the govern
ment. If discrimination must be made it
should be made in behalf of the operative's
cottage instead of the capitalist's plant.
He declares that, he is the candidate of
no ring of clique, and has an honorable
ambition to be governor.
Hi de. lares in favor of lower taxes, but
does not believe any substantial reduction
can be made unless lite common school
fund or the pension for old soldiers is re
duced. To both of these propositions he
is op|>osed.
11, announces that lie favors the elec
tion- of judge s and solicitors by the peo
ple and declares Inal he stands upon the
Chicago platform which he advocated in
every section of the state.
He does not mention the Candler letter
or either of the other candidates.
He simply announces himself a candi
date for governor on the following plat
form :
B< rner’s announcement makes the third
in the contest for gubetrnatorial honors.
Geographically all sections of the state are
now represented. Colonel Candler comes
from the extreme northern part of the
state, Judge Atkin, on hails from the ix
treme southern, and Mr. Berner from the
middle section.
It promises to bo an exceedingly lively
contest. Mr. Borner's announcement was
totally tn.expected. His name was wre
quently mentioned in connection with the
race a few weeks ago. At that time he
said:
“1 do not know whether I will be a can
didate for governor or not.”
Since thin he ha- been at his home in
Forsyth, (la., and has shunned newspaper
Interview el's to such an extent that his
mime had almost been dropped front the
list of probabilities. Many thought Mr.
Berner would make the race for congress.
Hon. Robert L. Berner, who today an
nounced hinisi If a- a candidate for gov
ernor before the Democratic convention, is
one of the best known Georgians in public
life. ♦'.<lll <
At present he is president of the Giorgi. l ,
state senate. Mr. Berner was a member
of the bouse of representatives from 1884
to IS9O and while there made an excellent
reputation as >. legislator and deflator. His
bill to comply with the coinpt tititive
clause of the constitution, familiarly
konwn as the “Berner Bill,” was the most
important piece of legislation at .that ses
sion. The bill passed the house but was
defeated in the senate.
Mr. Berner has the reputation of being
one of the best stump speakers In Georgia,
and besides is scholarly and eloquent.
Hr. Bern* r’s Platform.
A synopsis of Mr, Berner's platform is as
follows:
To the Democratic party of Georgia:
I announce myself as a crfiididiate for
the nomination for governor.
Having reached this conclusion, I do not
hesitate to state to you frankly and at
once the reasons which prompt me to ask
your support at. this time.
I have watched for yqars the growth of
monopoly and the usurpation of organized
capital in this state. 1 have seen the con
stitution violated with impunity and wi.h
out shame.. 1 have seen long eherishei
policies dispised and set aside as the foily
of our fathers. I have marked the' annual
expansion of their demands which no
amount of tribute or submission seems to
satisfy.
Through these years of falling prices
and pressing debts transportation has con-

tinued to lay Its heavy hand alike on pro
ducers and consumers.
And now to multiply our burdens organ
ized capital demands that manufactures
hereafter erected sha) be exempted from
the burden of taxation.
There 1 seems to be no pause in their
steady purposes. to control the policies of
tlm state ana faten upon the toil of the
lime Hat Come.
The lasue confronts us and the time has
come waen Georgia should and must settle
the question, shall the people govern the
corporations and organized capital or shall
the corporations and organized capital
govern the people?
In common with the suffering masses I
have waited long and in vain for some
other and abler man to defend the consti
tution and to maintain the principles of
competition in trauapoitation and equality
In taxation. No public utterance from any
source awards the patience of a people
who continue to suffer and to wait.
'1 he preservation of tnese principles is
absolutely necessary for the commercial
and political freedom of the state. To
abandon them is to deliver the people in
bondage to corporate power. I cannot be
lieve that Georgia is ready for servitude. I
have an unfaultering faith in the wisdom
and courage of her people. Sustained by
this faith, “with malice to none, with good
will to all,” I enter the contest and here
and here and now proclaim the principles
of state government for which I shall con
tend. •
Violating Constitution.
First, the constitution of 1877 contains
the following clause:
“Tihe general assembly of this state shall
have no power to authorize any corpora
tion io buy shares, or stock in other cor
porations in this state, or elsewhere, or to
make any contract, or agreement what
ever, with any such corporation, which
’may have effect, or be intended to have the
effect to defeat or lessen competition in
th i - ies,;>»<<ivt buai.iefei.eß, or iJ vacmirage
monopoly: and all such contracts «m1
.igrec.atMs s»a>l illegal and vat 1.
The plain purpose of the constitution is
to make it unlawful for any corporation
to use the powers cantered upon it by the
state for the puriiose of defeating or les
sening competition of encouraging monop
oly.
All contracts and agreements entered
into for that purpose are denounced as il
legal and void. By that clause the consti
tution became tihe established policy of
Georgia. The convention well knew the
state was subject to political revolutions.
It appreciated the influence of corporate
power and corporate wealth. It understood
jiiat if the policy was left to ‘the will of
the legislature it was subject to be changed
or destroyed. By their wise foresight it was
placed in the constitution beyond the
power and ‘touch of the legislature.,
Conibiiiatioil Commenced.
The people even in JLB77 had cause for
alarm. The railroads of the state had al
ready begun to combine and defeat com
petition.
It was not the purpose of the constitu
tion either to destroy or injure the prop
erty of the corporations.
The property of corporations is as sacred
as the property of individuals. All prop
erty deserves and should receive the game
scrupulous protection of the law.
But the constitution proposed ‘to estab
lish for corporation the same law of com
petition that has for centuries controlled
the business of individuals.
it was not the purpose of the constitu
tion to destroy the great through linesc
that intersect the state.
On the contrary, it has always been, and
now is, the recognized policy of the slate
to create and foster such lines of transpor
tation. They should be maintained and en
couraged.
The blessings of competition belong to
no particular section, but to the whole
people.
The constitution which established it as
the fixed policy of the state has been viola
ted in the past.
There is every reason to believe that it
will be violated in the future.
I" am fixed in the conclusion that in as
much as the benefits of competition belong
to the whole state, it is the duty of the
state in its sovereign capacity to enforce
the constitution and preserve these bene
fits for the people.
Tne Governor’s Duty.
It is both unjust ard unwise to impose
the burden of upholding the constitution
tnd maintaining the policy upon the ia
dividual. A contest between the corpora
tion sustained by vast millions of wealth
and an individual struggling to save his
business from the grasp of discrimination
is ton unequal to be maintaieud. The citi
zen should net be compelled to devote his
fortune and jeopardize his business in the
preservation of a policy in which the whole
state and all the people are interested.
It is the constitution of the state. It is
the policy of the state. When it is violated
it is the duty of the governor in the exer
cise of the sovereign power of the state
to institute proceedings to set aside ‘the
contract or agreement that establishes
monopoly, restores the lines to their prop
er legal spheres of operation and thus se
cure 'the blessings of competition to the
people.
This should not be done In reckless dis
regard of the rights of property, but with
care and conservatism and with a proper
and sacred respect for the vast interests
involved.
But at last the corporation should be
made to yield the same obedience to the
constitution and the haw which is demand
ed of the citizen and which the citizen
loyally yields.
Against Discrimination,
Second. The constltut.on prohibits un
just discriminations by the railroads and
guarantees to the people just and reason-
I able rates of freight, and passenger tariff.
The railroad commission was created by
I the legislature and clothed with power to

carry into effect this clause of the consti
tution.
The taw should be so administered that
every person and every locality should en
joy the benefit of the same just and rea
sonable charges. There should be no dis
crimination in favor of the larger cities,
but the smallest stations, the villages and
the towns should stand upon the same
plane with cities, and should receive from
the railroad companies the same fair and
just treatment and are entitled to rates
equitably adjusted with regard to the dis
tance.
No one can study the deliberations of
the constitutional convention without be
ing impressed with the fact that the sub
jects of railroads and transportation and
taxation receives the profoundest atten
tion. All the wisdom and courage and
patriotism of the body was consecrated to
the solution of those vexatious problems.
The system that has been established by
that body is the wisest and most equitable
known to men. There should be no dis
tinction either as to the character of the
property or the person who owns it.
All property and persons receive alike
the protection of the government, and all
-.honld contribute tlike to support it. Bui
it is now proposed to amend the constitu
tion so as to permit the counties ami cities
exempting the capital invested in manu
factories hereafter erected from taxation.
Opposed to Exemption,
I am firmly and unalterably opposed to
this amendment.
First. It violates the wise and equitable
law of equality by which all property con
tributes alike to support the government
which prefects*and preserves it.
Second. It is protection per se to which
the Democratic party from its birth has
been relentlessly opposed.
Third. It releases the property of the
rich and adds to the burdens of the poor.
T< relieves those who are best able to pay
and continues to exact from those who
now find it difficult to pay their taxes. I
cannot approve a system that exempts the
costly plant of the manufacturer ami per
petuates the burden upon the humble cot
tage of the poor.
What Constitution Says.
Third. The constitution contains the fol
lowing clauses upon the subject of taxa
tion :
“The general assembly may, by law,
exempt from taxation all public property,
places of religious wohship or burial; all
institutions of purely public charity, all
buildings erected and used as a college,
incorporated academy, or other seminary
of learning; the real and personal estate
of a public library, and that of any other
literary association used by or connected
with such library; all books and philoso
phical apparatus, and all paintings and
statuary of any company or association
kept in a public hall and not held as mer
chandise or for purposes of sale or gain.
Provided, the property so exempted be not
used for puruoses of private or corporate
income.
“Ail laws exempting property from
taxation, other than the property therein
enumerated, shall be void.’
These clause's not only establish the
policy of equality of taxation, but with
abundant caution declares all laws void
that exempt any other property.
Favors Low Taxes.
■Fourth. I am in favor of low taxes. I
am in favor of 'the lowest possible rate
consistent with an honest and economical
administration of the government. Not a
dollar should be taken from the people
except for necessary and constitutional
purposes. If any reduction can be accom
plished I shall most earnestly and cor
dially co-operate in the effort to secure it.
Duty requires me to state ‘to to you that
I am opposed to any reduction of the com
mon school fund. It is the duty of the
state, under its constitution, to establish
and maintain a common school system.
I am opposed to any reduction of the
pension fund save as God reduces its noble
and honored beneficiaries. By this gener
ous appropriation the state redeems the
sacred promises given to the soldier who
left his home to defend his country.
Fifth. I am in favor of the constitutional
amendment adopted by the last general
assembly which provides for the election
of the judges and solicitors general by the
people.
I am of the people and appreciate the
buYdens they endure.
I have throughout my public life defend
ed the rights of the people and I shall
continue to do so.
I am the candidate of no clique or ring,
and I will not be.
I am fettered by no pledges, and I will
not be.
Accepting the Chicago platform of 1896,
which I advocated in every section of this
state as the embodiment of Democratic
wisdom and Democratic purpose upon all
national issues, I make this appeal to the
Democratic party, confident that the prin
ciples and policies of the state government
which I here proclaim will command its
support and allegiance.
To these principles I have long been
consecrated. For them I have often fought.
With them.l shall now triumph.

SOON TO BE
A Meeting of League Magnates—Schedule
Will be Most Important Matter.
The annual spring meeting of the Na
tional League of basehall men is less than
two weeks away. On the last day of this
month the league magnates will gather in
secret session at the Southern ‘Hotel in St.
Louis.
The principal reason for the meeting is
the question of adopting a schedule for
the coming season. These frequent jumps
from place to place are what causes the
men to think so much about the schedule.
Every team in the league wants to play at
home on legal holidays.
Another matter that will be taken up is
the farming out of players. <A club may
hear of two or three very prominent 'play
ers and engage them at a small salary. Not
having an immediate place for these men,
the are “farmed out;” or, in other words,
their services are leased to some minor
league team, that guarantees the payment
of their salaries until they are posted suf
ficient to get back into the big league; and,
no matter how good they are, they are
compelled to play for small salaries. Ned
Hanlon, the president of the president of
the Baltimore team, has come out flat
footed against the system. Four or five
clubs, at a very little expense, could cor
ral all the promising players in the coun
try and have the monopoly against all the
others, simply by forming an agreement
with a number of minor league teams.
The rules will be altered, and there is
a possibility that the “earned run" may
be amended in such away as to make the
pitcher directly responsible for every run
ner that crosses the plate wherein a field
ing error has not played a part.
Earned runs are supposed to be runs
earned on a pitcher's delivery. The abol
ishing of the bunt hit will be considered,
but no change is expected. It would hand
icap the St. Louis team considerably to
have the bunt done away with, as several
men pn the team are good burners.
WHITTLE LAW LIBRARY.
Macon Bar Association Wantsit Turned Over
to Them.
A meeting of the directors of tbe Ma
con Library Association was held at the
library yesterday afternoon, and the prin
cipal matter which came up for consider
ation was the petition of the Macon Bar
Association asking that the Whittle libra
ry be turned over to the association for
MACON NEWS SATURDAY EVENING. FEBRUARY 19 1898.
the lawyers propose to establish in Macon.
It was stipulated in the will of the late
L. N. Whittle, who owned the library, that
should his son. Murray, not engage in the
practice of law, that the books should be
free to the bar of Macon, and as Mr. Mur
ray Whittle did not take up the practice
of law, the bar association asks that the
books be given to them for the library
which they will establish. The communi
cation of the bar association was referred
to a committee to report at the next meet
ing.
CALLING BACK THE SUN.
The Moqui Dance That Helps to Cause the
Return tri Summer and Harvest*.
Dr. Tewkes of the Smithsonian institu
tion at Washington returned recently to
Denver from the Mcrpii villages in Ari
zona. where be attended the winter dances
of tho Indiana He is one of the few whit.'
men who have ever seen this remarkable
ceremony, and tl ■: result of his visit will
apj ear in a detailed report on his return
to Washington.
The dance or ceremony is called I bo say
la-na, nnd is thdinost complicated of all
the religious ceremonies among the Mo
quis. It continues for nine days, includ
ing preliminary preiiarut.ions. It is ouo of
the few ceremonies still in existence among
tbe uncivilized tribes in which the sun is
directly the object of worship. The dance
takes place at the winter solstice when the
sun has receded to its farthest limit in the
southern sky. Its object is primarily to
induce the sun to recede from its southern
march and retrace its steps toward the
north, to bring joy, warmth and returning
harvests to tbe Moquis. The secondary ob
ject is to extend a peace offering to the
great plumed snake, a deity hostile to the
sun, in order that his wrath may be ap
peased and lie may cir.se to chase the sun
away from the Moquis.
The main dance took place at Walpai bn
Dec. 20, and on the 22d at Oriaba. It was
held between 10 and 12 o’clock in the
evening in one o' the secret rooms of the
khiva. A rude altar had been construct
ed in one end of the room, back of which
was a partition of wreaths and flotters,
through which the head of an effigy of the
plumed serpent protruded. This "head was
about 18 inches long and about 12 inches
in diameter and n.adc from a large gourd
Thu uppTr part of the head was stained
black, the lower part whire, and the
mouth, with a hideous exhibition of teeth,
was stained red. Behind this screen was
an Indian, whose office it was to-impart t<;
the head of the reptile a swaying motion,
as if the serpent was imbued with life. At
thesametimeanumberof Indians blew in
to hollow gourds, which emitted a strange
rushing sound to imitate the noise made
by the swift movement of a monster snake.
In front of the altar and the effigy of the
snake appeared a warrior with a shield on
which were repretet.lcd emblems of the
sun. These minor deities and the plumed
snake attacked tbe warrior representing
the sun, and a battle ensued in which the
lone warrior triumulu <i. beating back his
enemies, and thus being emtbled to return
to tlie north to cheer the land of the Mo-
LJUiS.
The next morning after the performance
as-tiut sun rises above the eastern liorizoc
and tips the western iiliis with gold tin,
Tiitiians offer up t heir prayers and sprinkle
holy meal in its fore, and by these simple
acts of devotion welcome its return from
the southern skies, and with it also the so
turn of the kachenos, the good spirits
who bring the Mdquis rain, corn, abun
dance of harvest and all the blessings of
life. New York Suu.
