At any rate Joe Brown does not
regard his candidacy as a “Divine call.
'—Columbus Ledger.
There are some of Governor Smith’s
friends, at least, who are quite as en
thusiastic as they ever were.
With 'Bread and Brown” the battle
cry, the thousands of unemployed nre
working against Governor Smith.
The Macon Telegraph editor retorts
by saying that "refawm is impotent
for anything except to ruise h
tuxes.”

Kefawmers “must udjust themselves
to the Procrustean bed ofcircumstan
ces.” They are ‘‘all in pretty hard
lines.”
Already the campaign for governor
has aroused much bitter feeling
throughout the state, which iB much
to be regretted.
The Atlanta Journal doesn’t seem to
be placing the same importance on the
polls of voters made by the drummers
it did some months ago
PROTECTING DEPOSIT
ORS A SUCCESS.
Joseph H. Brown
for Governor.
In Baldwin and Bulloch countie
prohibition seems to he un issue Jin the
raoe for representative. Our people
should keep it lookout ahead on this
important question.
Those who are asking who in the li-l
is Joe Brown, are repeating a question
Gen. Toombs once asked about his
distinguished father. Gen, Toombs
found put w ho his father was, alright.
The governor’s stand for prohibition
pleases the people and it is quite Im
material to them that he is a new con
vert. They will forgive him for writing
the message against state prohibition,
perhaps.
“Joe Brown has held four positions
In his life and has been discharged
from each one.”—Exchange. And
Hoke Smith has been a part of two
administrations, both of which came
into disrepute.
Some of the newspapers who quoted
largely from Mr. Watson in the former
campaign nre using the space now for
patent medicine ads, while others have
discovered that Mr. Watson has some
thing to say worth quoting.
There are two kinds of refawm. One
is the kind Editor Pendleton describes
as simply ‘‘raising h—1 and taxes.”
The other variety is worse, compelling
its victims to “adjust themselves to
Procrustean beds of circumstances.”
The newspapers of the cities nre urg
ing the voters to send st rong legislators
to the general assembly, and there has
never been a time when they were
more needed than now.
The Herald does not think it nec
essarily follows that a member of the
bar should he a member, but where
there are two to Vie chosen, it is often
desirable to have an able, conscientious
and above nil, an independent and
fearless lawyer on the delegation.
To have such a member is perhaps
more important nt this time, but
whether so or not, it is of the greatest
mportance that men be sent who can
and will not only be honest, conscien
tious and true men. but men whose
ndependence, whose loyalty to the
people and whose ability to reflect
credit on the county cannot Vie doubted.
The 11KjtAi.n reluctantly takes sides
at all in this contest and it is against
our first formed purpose to do so, but
we feel that t.h>* occasion and the man
deserves our consideration and support
and we trust that the people of the
county will send Mr. Wright as one of
the representatives from this county.
We shall not complain if others are
chosen but we feel like we are amply
justified in endorsing Mr. Wright’s
candidacy.
We regret exceedingly that some of
the more ardent supporters of the gov
ernor of Georgia have determined not
to allow- anyone who is unfriendly to
the governor in politics and who op
posed his policies to offer, whatever
his qualifications, without their loud
and determined protest.
There can be no objection to Mr.
Wright on this score, however, for he
supported the governor in his race and
we trust that those who oppose the
administration’s policies may not as
sume the same antagonistic attitude.
We regnrd it as important to send
able, level headed, true men to the
legislature, men w ho have opinions and
who are willing to study the JieedB of
the people and do what they believe to
be right regardless of county bosses or
governors, and the fact that they have
differed from us in the past cuts little
figure. Indeed, we have respect for
the man who conscientiously believes
in and consistently supports his prin
ciples. In these panicy times, let us
have men who cun let it be known that
Washington county has some one to
speak for her and her people and who
can be trusted to see and to ably work
for the best interests of the people us
he sees them.
Doubtless the coining session of the
legislature will see the conclusion of
all the policies which the administra
tion cares to see enacted info law
vv i 11 tu .jufMiuiiB and we
nave confidence in Mr. Wright, though
Jie differed, from us two years ago, to
(leal with them.
Let the dead bury the dead. Let us
look upward and forward and try to
get the state back its lost prosperity.
If Mr. Wright should believe the con
tinuation of these laws and policies
will be- good, we believe be will vote
for them to be continued. If, after
trial, he believes, as we do, that they
will be disastrous, we are willing to
trust him to do end say what should
be done and said.
At any rate, the old things will have
passed into the trial stugu in a year, as
some of them are on trial already and
we hope that the bitter feeling of two
years ago will soon pass into history
and that we may look to the future hi
selecting our candidates today instead
of to the past.
The Oklahoma law providing for the
insurance of bank deposits has been in
operation less t han a month but, so far.
all indications point to its success.
Four hundred and sixty-six state banks
took out insurance certificates—certif
icates being denied to twenty six
banks that could not pass the rigid
examination. There are in the state
309 national banks. Of these, twenty-
nine had, by the tenth of March, re
ceived certificates, seventy-three had
been examined by the bank examiners
and will go in as soon as the stock
holders ratify the contract. More
than sixty national hanks have re
quested examination, and others havi
called stockholders’ meetings to de
termine the policy of the bank.
It is predicted—by those in position
to know—that within a short time
practically every hank in the state will
have taken advantage of the insurance
The Bank of Commerce of Shawnee
Okla., on tne 20th of February, in
serted the following advertisement in
a local paper:
“Before the Depositors’ Guaranty
Law went into effect, we had on Feb
ruary 12, 1908, deposits, $230,544 54.
‘‘Seventeen days under the protec
tion of the Depositors’ Guaranty fund
of the state of Oklahoma our deposits
have grown to be $270,324.89.
“An increase of $39.780.35.
“No reason to worry.
“What more do you want?”
Who will say that the Oklahoma plan
is not succeeding? It has been said
that banks would go out of business
rather than to incur the risk of having
to pay the depositors ol other banks.
Experience does not support this. The
state banks have come in, and the na
tional banks nre trying to get in, and
deposits arc already increasing. The
people feel that they have a safe place
to deposit their money.
The deposits ure going to be protect
ed ; the big bank will not much longer
bo permitted to build up a “prestige”
at the risk of the depositors of the
country and the welfare of eacli com
munity.—The Commoner.
The Cordele Rambler thinks a second
term should be given on merit just as
the first one comes and as the Rambler
is of a different opinion as to Governor
Smith’s merit than it was two years
ago, is now giving its support to Little
Joe Brown for governor and predicts
that not only Crisp county but nearly
all of south Georgia will be found in
the Brown column.
The populists evidently believe that
good government *1 »*•*—■**• *n' on tt rn!, ‘
qu£‘nf -faange horses. The conven
tion resolution adopted by them is as
follows: “Resolved by the represent
atives of the populist party here as
sembled, That we deplore the disas
trous policies of the present state
administration as exemplified by the
present governor, and we think the
best interests of the farmers, laborers
and business men of the state would
be well conserved liy a change in the
ad ministration.”
To the people of Georgia:
Although I have unexpectedly re
ceived a great number of letters, peti
tions and spoken requests, representing
many thousands of people, a large
majority of whom are farmers, labor
ing-men, manufacturers and business
men. to allow the use of my name a-; a
candidate for governor of Georgia,
subject to the primary, June 4. As
compliance involves possibly a«lmnge
in the prattlces and plans of a lifetime.
I hnve refrained from announcing j
decision, hoping that some other can
didate would come to the front. But
as that hope has not been realized , I
have been forced to the conclusion that
it is my duty to obey the call which
my fellow citizens have made.
In determining the question of the
advisability of making the race, I care
fully considered the claim of certain
adherents of the present administration
that the fixed policy of the state is to
give the incumbent of the governor «
ollice a second term as a matter of
course since the adoption of the con
stitution of 1877. That instrument
limits the term to two years, and pre
cedent cannot amend it so as to stretch
a term into four years. And if it could
the best interests of the people demand
its revocation where the administra
tion involved, either through design <
lack of knowledge. 1ms wrought disns
ter to the prosperity of the people.
Government should not only be “of
the people,” but "for the people.”
As to Second Term Precedent.
“Furthermore, in his published state
ment that he would not enter the race
for United States senator, the present
governor did not bt\B0 liis declination on
the ground that he was nmlcr an obli
gation of honor to serve the second
term. That declination was upon en
tirely other reasons. Hence, if lie be
free to ignore it, how can it be binding
on the democratic party as to him? If
he has the option to accept it or uot.tlie
party has the option to tender it or not.
“But in his speech at Decatur, March
9th, he enumerated among tlio official
plans he has for tho tnture, the enact
ment of the so called 'port rates.’ These
rates, if made effective, mean the ruin
of the industries of Georgia, and, ns a
corollary, the destruction of the nearby
markets for farmers of oar own state.
It is therefore imjierative to Georgia
that this plan should be made impossi
ble of fulfillment, since the mere threat
of it aud kindred declarations has
wrought serious disaster to our people.
Mr. Brown’s Platform.

The newspapers opposing Governor
Smith had better look to their reputa
tion. Already they have been referred
to by their brethren of the press as
members of the “gang,” “subsidized
press” and wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Mr. Brown is now right in the run
ning and as far as south Georgia
concerned we believe that lie is in the
lead. In Cordelo we believe that he
will get seventy-five per cent of the
votes and we understand that Wilcox
and Dooly are both strong for him.—
Cordele Rambler.
It’s a misnomer to call them reform
ed “reformers.” They are not reformed
nor regenerated. They have only
found out that thu "reform” they
thought was reform wasn’t reform.—
Oglethorpe Echo.
In other words, they were after the
oilices in sight.—Dublin Courier-Dis

It is said that Attorney Wright will
not tackle the plowing proposition but
will try that place in the legislature
himself. Good enough. We hud our
doubts about Mr. Wright’s ability to
plow'a struight furrow but we don’t
doubt but that lie could take care of
himself as a legislator.
A few of the governor’s friends have
sought to create the sentiment that
none who opposed him two years ago
Bhould be permitted to be elected rep
resentative this year. The governor
will have the corning summer session
to carry out his policiesjand this senti
ment should not control - the voters any
more than should the fact that a man
supported Smith operate against him
so far as those who did not do so are
Concerned.
Candidate Wright should at least be
considerate enough to introduce a hill
in the legislature creating a Depart
ment of Plow Language and Carden
Culture, since by his joke on the editor
of True Herald, the latter was forced
to abandon all idea of being a candi
date. And as this administration has
created several new jobs, such as ac
countants, clerks, commissioners, track
walkers, eouncellors, etc., with fat
salaries attached, such a measure
would be in line with refawm. Natu
rally, also, the appointment should
come here for the head of the depart
ment.
The increase of advnlorum taxes in
Georgia by the present administration
and the increase in the number of
office holders with fat salaries attached
and the inequitable corporation tax
which exacts six dollars from a small
corporation like this company and only
one hundred dollars from one several
thousand times as large us well as the
unquestionable contribution of the
present administration to the panic by
the fierce battle waged aguinst all
corporations are among the sins of the
administration for which the people
will hold the governor to account.
The most daring thing in politics in
years is the race of Joseph M. Brown
for governor. He is making the race
against the one man who, two years
ago was the idol of the majority of the
people of Georgia, a man who so abso
lutely dominated and controlled as
that a democratic committee practical
ly placed within his hands the power
of choosing the presidential candidate
for the white freemen of a great state
and gave over to him the sacred bal
lots of thousands of his fellow demo
crats.
