JOSEPH BROWN ON
PROHIBITION QUESTION.
Unalterably Opposed To
The Open Bar. The
Full Statement.
STATE COMMITTEE MAY
TRY TO SAVE HOKE.
Scheme tg Build up One
Man Power May be
Changed.
In a patriotic address to the
people of Georgia, free from mud-
slinging, personal abuse or politi
cal clap trap, “Little Joe” Brown
gave his views on public questions
to the press last Friday.
On the subject of prohibition,
Mr. Brown states that lie will
neither personally or officially ap
prove the saloon, but that he
eeognizos the will of the people
as supreme and if the people of
Georgia so will, by legislative en
actment which intelligently, hon
estly and conscientiously express
ed their will, it is the highest, law
and lie will obey it ft. Personal
ly, he is unalterably opposed to
the open bar in Georgia.
On this subject Mr. Brown says:
“In the discussion of the prohi
bition question, 1 would not la*
frank and open were 1 not to state
at the outset that 1 am unalter
able opposed to the saloon, and
no act of mine, either personally
or officially will approve its re-es
tablishment in the state of Geor
gia. There is no subject, upon
which brains and hearts of
Georgians have so expended their
powers as the prohibition ques
tion. There is none upon which
their intelligence and their eon-
science need less prompting.
I shall favor the strict enforce
ment of the present prohibition
law, and any amendment that
may be passed by the General
Assembly at the next session re
specting it. The will of the peo
ple should be supreme, therefore,
if it be their will that the present
law stand ns it now is, it must
stand. If it be their will that it
be amended, they will elect a
General Assembly to enact their
will, and the will of the people
SMITHS FRIENDS DENY
LANDSLIDE STRUCK HERE
Brown Men Smile and
say Washington is like
the other Counties.
The State Executive Committee
lias been called to meet in an ex
traordinary session in Macon on l
April 24th.
This hurry call is said to be
made to modify the rule giving
over to the successful candidate
for Governor the right to practi
cally cast the vote of the demo
ernts of this state tor President
and thus build up the most power
ful one man control in a demo
cratic state.
It is also hinted that the Com
mittee may change the rule
adopted by which the candidate
receiving the majority shall be
the nominee and leave it to the
counties, though there is nothing
in the call to indicate such an in
tention.
The friends of the Governor
seem to see the hand writing on
the wall, however many of them
are now criticising the rule so
strenuously insisted on by the
Governor.
ir Good mini's lviiby Flour pleases.
That’s the reason 1 have the Hour
trade. Goodman’
conscientiously, intelligently and
deliberately determined, is the
highest law. 1 will so recognize
and obey it.
This question is more important
to the peole of Georgia than the
promotion of any individual to
office and no candidate for Gover
nor should be permiited ’by swift
and unseemly shifting from one
side to the other, as often as lie
deems expedient, to use it as a
hobby horse to serve his po itical
purposes and thereby tend to dis
credit the law in the hearts, con
science and intelligence of the
people.
Smith and Brown supporters
both claim Washington county
will roll up u big majority for
their respective candidates.
The more ardent Smith sup
porters claim he#vill get a larger
vote here than he did before,
whatever conditions may be in
other parts of the state, while the,
Brown men appear to lie equally
;is conlident that tli re will be the
same landslide here as appears in
most of the counties and that
Brown’s majority here will be
gratifying.
It is easy to see that the friends
df Little Joe are confident and
hopeful and that they have little
fear but that old Washington lias
got enough refawm.
Joe Brown and Hoke
Smith Clubs Formed.
Valdosta, April 8—Joe Brown
and Hoke Smith Clubs were or
ganized here with about 150 mem
bers to the Smith club and ovbr
300 members to the Joe Brown
Cluii. A hard fight is to be made
bv both sides here. At the pres
ent time it is believed the county
is for Brown by a vote of nearly
two to one. It will take a politi
cal miracle to very greatly change
the result. The Brown Club lias
four presidents and twenty-five
vice presidents, with an executive
committee of twenty-live. Mayor
John T. Roberts, ex-Mayor W. L.
Thomas, Representative C. R.
Ashley and ex-Senator W. S. West
are the presidents and George
Binder seem ary. Judge O. M.
Smith is chairman of the Hoke
Smith Club and A. J. Little is
secetary.
Waycross, Ga., April 8.—The
School Census Will
Soon be Taken.
The t ime has ago in arrived for
takim i.,.* Schoei Census in this
state and enumerators for t he sev
eral districts and incorporated
towns will shortly be appointed
by Commissioner Wood.
Those who desire these appoint
ments should communicate with
the School Commissioner.
Candidate Boatright
Retires From Race.
Many friends of Mr. B Frank
Boatright will regret to learn that
he has retired from the race for
Tax Collector.
It is understood that Mr. Boat
right’s retirement is purely of his
own accord and not in the inte
rest of either of the other popular
candidates.
Ware county Joe Brown Club or
ganized last night with Cary M.
Sweat as president and Capt. R.
B. Bollard secetary. The club
has a a membership of more than
50U citizens of Waycross alone, no
effort having been made to secure
members from the country pre
cincts. Cnless the present senti
ment changes Mr. Brown will car
ry Ware county by a vote of 2 to
1. The estimate is not made from
guess work or by “infant” news
paper reporters as has been the
ease in the reports of Hoke
Smith’s strength here, but by
careful investigation from every
section of the county. The labor
organizations alone will present
almost a solid front of at least
000 votes for Mr. Brown.
In Charlton, an adjoining coun
ty to Ware, Hoke Smith received
only 17 votes two years ago.
Bets have been recorded at
Folkston within the past few days
that he will not receive one full
talley in the county on June 4.
