Political Potshots
(Continued from page one.)
The unposted guy who claims to know
everything about' polities probably
doesn’t know that this is the year for
a presidential election; but it is. In
the Dominician republic—wherever that
is—the voters are going to elect a presi
dent in November.
The unusual feature of the election is
that it is scheduled to last two days:
November 18th and 19th. Prom the
name and time, the announcement has
more the appearance of an egg-laying
contest rather than a real election.
i
It is probable, however, that woman
suffrage hold sway over the destinies
of the Dominickers, and the first day is
for the men to go to the polls and' vote
while the women stay home and mind
the babies, having their chance on the
following day.
Rev. Dr. George E. Reed, a former
president of Dickinson college, has been
indorsed as a Congressional candidate
on the Delaware Progressive ticket.
With an ex-college president president,
the country is safe; but Potshots
doesn’t believe in having the cap-and-
gown class hog all the offices; conse
quently he is agin George.
The coroner-elect of a South Georgia
county, committed suicide this week.
He was 70 years of age, and, after
lamping the field in which he would
work, he probably decided that the job
would prove too much for him.
Judge A. L. Bartlett was given a
clean bill of health at the hands of the
state executive committee at the meet
ing of that body in Atlanta Monday.
J. M. MeBryde, his opponent in the
recent primary, preferred charges of
vote buying against Judge Bartlett;
but the charges were not sustained.
Mr. MeBryde lost the nomination to
Judge Bartlett by just eleven votes—
in other words, had six of Judge Bart
lett ’s supporters bullmoosed, and de
clared Mr. MeBryde their standard
bearer, he would have had the right
to occupy the bench on the Tallapoosa
circuit.
Up in Vermont the Democrats have
been busy and have nominated Har-
land B. Howe for governor, and Charles
B. Watson, for senator. ,
Vermont is one of the very small
number of Republican states that gave
President Taft its electoral vote in the
presidential election of 1912. Democracy
lost the state two years ago, and since
so much of the country has gone Demo
cratic, it is being whispered around
that Vermont Democrats at last know
Howe.
Jesse Mercer, who made this old com
monwealth a first-class patron saint of
the feathery tribe, has been appointed
administrative assistant in the biologi
cal survey at Washington, beginning
his new duties today.
There was not a semblance of politi
cal pull in landing Mr. Mercer the job.
When he was game and fish commis
sioner of Georgia, he was invited to
write an article of something connected
with natural history, and his thesis
on ‘ ‘ Migratory Birds ’ ’ brought him un
limited praise—in fact, he was (in
formed that his thesis was the best re
ceived, and he was notified that there
would be a job waiting for him when
ever the department fired a man.
He landed the job, and it is one
which especially suits him, for Jesse
Mercer is a nature lover, rather than
a nature faker, and his job will permit
him to give his time to nature study
and research. Being peculiarly fitted
for the work, he is going to make the
government a mighty valuable man.
Since Mr. f Mercer has been thus hon
ored by the government, all wild life
is happy, for it is in the nature of a
promotion for their real, two-legged,
two-armed man friend.
Rufe Hutchens has been signally
honored. He has been unanimously in
dorsed by the Progressive party of
Georgia as the party candidate for the
state’s junior senator.
The above-mentioned Prohigressives
held an enthusiastic meeting Tuesday
night in Atlanta and nominated the fol
lowing candidates:
For long-term United States senator-
ship, C. W. McClure, of Atlanta.
For shotr-term United States sena-
torship, G. R. Hutchens, of Rome.
FOR SALE
Good 9-room house; all mod
ern conveniences; large garden

Mrs. G. M. Cannon, Jr.
No candidate was put out against
“Uncle Nat” Harris, so while Senator
Smith and Congressman Hardwick are
losing sleep, worrying over the uncer
tainty, Judge Harris can breathe a
sigh of relief.
But the matter is not definitely set
tled. The Prohigressives have called a
state convention at Macon for next Sat
urday, and Sunday morning, every Dem
ocratic nominee in the state of Georgia
may awake to find some other man
after the job he has been thinking be
longed to him.
It is said that a number of the Demo
cratic nominees for congress wilk be
opposed in the general election.
Mr. Hutchens is a man to delight
Thomas E. Watson. Mr. Watson gave
him his support in the recent Demo
cratic, primary, and to show his heart is
in the right place, Mr. Hutchen has
followed the precedent established by
Mr. Watson and has bolted the party.
Mr. Hutchens was a candidate for the
short-tail toga in the Macon conven
tion. He didn’t have any chance, so it
looks as if he has decided to again go
before the peepul and fight it out with
Mr. Hardwick. It is said that Mr.
Hutchens will accept the nomination,
and will be cordially received within
the bullmoose fold.
Patty primaries in New York Tues
day resulted as follows:
Governor Glynn was nominated over
John A. Hennessy; for senator, James
W. Gerrard defeated F. D. Roosevelt
and J. S. McDonough, on the Demo
cratic ticket.
District Attorney Whitman made a
runaway race against H. D. Hinman
and Job Hedges, for governor, and J,
W. Wadsworth, Jr., defeated W. M.
Clader for senator, on the Republican
ticket.
The Progressives apparently didn’t
want to see if ex-Governor Sulzer could
“come back,” for they gave F. M,
Davenport the gubernatorial nomina
tion. The Progressives nominated Bain-
bridge Colby for United State seantor
without opposition.
