THE BUTLER HERALD, BUTLER, GEORGIA, APRIL 30, 1942.
Review Of Political >
Situation As Appears
To Be Shaping Up
MONEY AND WAR will be the
dominant topics from the stump
this fall. The former will furnish
the issue for the Governor's race;
the latter will be chief talking
point in that for United States
Senator. You may expect lavish
promises to opecate the State with
out "additional tax burdens,”
coupled with still more lavish
promises of increased pay for
teachers and relief to sore-pressed
county governments. You may an
ticipate, on the Senate side, all
kinds of pledges to wage war on
the Axis with grim resolve, coupled
perhaps, with some apologies for
some mistakes of foresight in the
past.
COUNTY HEADS are asking help,
promised them long, long ago.
Some desire that this tako the form
of reducing the homestead exemp
tion. This would not hurt the feel
ings of gubernatorial candidates,
since the State would get a slice of
the money, too. The distinction be
tween a reduction in exemption
and increased taxation is very
great; on the former you pay the
same taxes on more; on the latter
you pay more taxes on the same.
In either event you are out more
money.
SENATOR RUSSELL is the most
active candidate for any office at
this time. Attorney General Ellis
Arnall, earliest avowed man in any
field, is continuing his aggressive
campaign, in between his duties,
which have included the recent ar
gument of the “asphalt monop
oly” case before the U. S. Supreme
Court. But the junior Senator has I
been waging a blitzkreig against j
all prospective foes, from a palatial
suite in a downtown Atlanta hotel, 1
where he stayed immured for ten j
days recently, conferring with ad-
Jberants and listening to reports
from envoys. |
LAWRENCE CAMP, who is cur
rently making news by prosecut
ing one of the most potent figures
of the Rivers regime, is getting
much attention because of the re
port that he may be interested in
the Senate race. Rumors of the
reason for the breach between him
and Senator Russell, for whom he
thrice managed winning races, fly
about. Actually, the reason for the
breach remains unknown to all but
the two concerned, altho it may
come to light during the campaign.
It does not center on the 1938 cam
paign, however, because it is well
known that Mr. Camp advised the
junior senator to “stay away,” and
avoid entanglements. The discord
came about sometime in 1939, more
than a year later.
THE GOVERNOR chosen this
year will have considerable influ
ence. Indeed, the political prestige
of Georgia governors in the future
will be greater than any day since
the introduction of direct election
of U. S. Senators instead of by the
general assembly. For the Governor
will not only have control of state
patronage, but can control the
delegations to national conventions
In the future, hand-pick the state
democratic committeeman and
exercise tremendous pressure on
local organizations. A U. S. Senator
would be duck-soup for dusting off
by any incumbent governor with a
mind to snatch his togs.
THE WAR MAY have a deciding
effect in some races. How soon the
United Nations will be able to take
the offensive in the eastern the
atre will affect the destiny of can
didates who have records of neg
lecting Pacific defense. How stal-
vvartly is the Russian defense, how
rapid is the absorption of men into
the armed services, all will h
their points. An air attack, testing
home preparations, might make ori
break some candidate. i
THAT IS WHY the only certain-1
lies a Georgian can have about
this summer are these: That the |
names of Senator Russell, Gov. Tal-1
madge, Ellis Arnall and Columbus
Roberts will be on the ticket. What
the second will run for is not
known. Who else will run for what
on which issue is just a lot of pro
nouns.
THE GOSSIP CORNER: W. D. Up
shaw, once Congressman from the
Atlanta district and a stalwart pro
hibition candidate for president,
may toss his hat into the fall ring
intimates say . . . Considerable ten
Sion around the GEA convention
this year is expected, as rival po
litical camps prepare to “capture
the teachers.” . . . The efforts to
heal a breach between James Pe
ters, currently rumored as manager
of the 1942 Talmadge campaign,
and others in the same camp is
making progress . . . There may be
some real explosions touched off at
the scheduled May 4 trial of Dr. H.
W. Evans and former Governor Ed
Rivers; the trials may be delayed
another week unless Judge Under
wood in Federal Court, recovers
speciality to complete the Geer
trial, now in progress . . . Several
pieces of Federal patronage arc
“hung on the hook" until after the
primary. . . . Congressman Johr:
Gibson is at work on fence repairs
currentlyand is reported optimistic
once more, although two strong
opponents, from either end of the
district, loom lor. the fall election.

Motorists Are Advised
To Just "Rest Easy"
Over Gas Rationing
Washington—Ralph K. Davis,
deputy petroleum coordinator, ad-
.vised motorists Saturday to quit
1 worrying about rationing and con-'
cehtrato on voluntary saving of,
gasoline.
“If each, motorist, during the
critical supply period of the next
few weeks, would drive only when|
absolutely necessary, he would be
doing his part to prevent more!
severe curtailment,” Davies said.
There have been conflicting re- 1
ports as to how much gasoline au- 1
tomobile owners will be allowed
when rationing begins May 15 in
eastern seaboard states. Some re
ports put it as low as a 2 1-2 to 5 1
gallons; others as high as 30 to 50
galons a month. Normal average
consumption is about 55 gallons a |
month. ■
Saying "rumors and unofficial
statements" should be ignored,
Davies declared that gasoline cur
tailment “depends upon the fu
ture course of events not now re
liably predictable.” I
BOND BUYING
PLAN FRAMED
Washington.—A war bond quota
system under which every person
in each of the nation's 2,070 coun
ties will be urged to put at least 10
per cent of his income into the
! bonds or stamps was announced
Sunday by the Treasury Depart
ment.
The campaign, to obtain on May
l, is in line with Secretary Mor-
genthau's recent testimony before a
congressional committee in which]
he recommended that a voluntary
system was preferable to a compul
sory method of savings through the
assignment of war bond to indi
viduals. I
The treasury anouncement said
the May quotas for state and coun- 1
ties would be released soon and
would be "revised and stepped up
in succeeding months.” By July,the |
treasury said, it was expected the
campaign would bring war bond
purchases to more than twice the,
monthly totals previously sold.
Libel Action Involving
Three Ministers Brought
In Laurens Co. Court
Dublin, April 23—Dr. C. D.
Graves of Dublin and Rev. S.L.
Lamm of Cochran, were made de
fendants Thursday in a llbpl ac
tion brought in Laurens Superior
Court by Rev. Harden Person of
Dublin, seeking damages of $25,-
000.
the suit is based on alleged de
famatory remarks credited to the
defendants following the Issuance
and subsequent abandonment of a
warrant charging Rev. Mr. Pear
son with a misdemeanor in the city
court of Macon. Dr. Graves is for
mer pastor of the Dublin First
Baptist church and Rev. Lamm is
pastor of the Baptist church in
Bleckley county. Mr. Pearson is a
Baptist evangelist.
The petition charges that Dr.
Graves “would follow him (Pear
son) to every place he would and
did go after the publication of said
false and malicious charge to scat
ter the same false, malicious and
slanderous charge.”
Mr. Lamm, it adds, "publicly and
falsely, and maliciously spoke of
and concerning the said petitioner
the same charges that, Dr. Graves
had of and concerning him,” con
tinuing:
"Since said charges have been
made and published by the de
fendant, Dr. Graves, and repeated
by the defendant, Rev. Lamm, it
has been very hard for petitioner
to make and secure sufficient funds
to live upon, besides the embar
rassment, humiliation and heart
aches trfe petiti jner has had to suf
fer and endure.”
The suit is returnable to the
July term of Laurens superior court
It was brought by Randall Evans
Jr., of Thomson and R. I. Stephens
of Dnblin, as attorneys for Mr.
Pearson.
