JOHN M. SLATON.
Atlanta, Ga., August 12.—The gu
bernatorial campaign in Georgia will
practically close with the present
week, Indicat.ons now are that John
M. Slaton will be nominated by over
whelming vote. Reports from’ all the
counties indicate that the opposition
to him is in large measure negligi
ble.
Mr. Slaton has made a clean fight.
He has placed his candidacy BEFORE
THE PEOPLE without regard for fac
tion, class or station,
Knowing that it is easy, but not
always honest, to make idle promises,
he has confined his platform pledges
to what he means and what he be
lieves he can accomplish. He bas
proffered no unredeemable political
promissory notes on which to “kite”
himself into office—then to be ig
nored. His campaign has been free
of denunciation or anything partaking
of villification. ;
His nearly eighteen years of serv
fce to the people of Georgia in a
practically non-paying capac'ty, Is
the GUARANTEE offered on his be-
HOW TO MARK YOUR BALLOT.
WHITE DEMOCRATIC STATE PRI
MARY, AUGUST 21, 1913.
(Voter should erase names ot all candi
% dates for whom he does not
desire to vote).
| For Governor.
—Hroopes.dlexander—
John M. Slaton
| (Vote for one)
or Uni S
BE SURE TO STRIKE TWO—THE
THE FIRST TWO!
The above illusration is given to
prevent the confusion caused two
years ago by three candidacies.
half of his fitness to hold the office
he seeks. Kach ipage of every chap
ter of that service is as readable as
the sun at noon. To the man that
is unbiased—and the time has come
in Georgia to strike bias if we are
to have effective government-—no item
in any one of the chapters cf Jack
Slaton's serv.ce can be challenged.
Not one has been attacked or criticis
ed by his bitterest foes—if he has
any recal foes.
ASK THOSE WHO KNOW HIM.
Scattered in every county of Geor
gia are men of worth and reputation
who have served with and under Sla
ton in the Legislature, These men
came from and returned to the peo.
ple. Ask them about Slaton. He 's
willing to abide their verdict,
John M. Slaton has conducted a
straightforward campaign. Ignoring
the politicians as such, he has gone
direct to the individual voter. His
candid method—the same he has al
way pursued in politics—has proved
successful again. Instead of making
a still-hunt, as a few billious citizens
accuse him, he has done quite the
opposite. He will be under no obliga
tion to any man or set of men with
seifish interests to serve.
HIS PLATFORM.
The platform, in its particular fea
tures, upon which he has made the
race is the sanest and soundest yet
proposed.
He stands for—
The preservation of the West
| ern and Atlantic Railroad as a
| property of the State.
The development of our swamp
lands.
A Improvement of educational fa
| eilities until every tow-headed
i child may receive sufficient edu
| cation to enable him to success
{ fully meet modern competition.
i The protection of the State’s
j credit,
| Strict regulation of public serv
| jce corporations.
The enfcrcement of all laws.
He is Opposed to— -
Any move that might endan
| ger the Western and Atlantic
. Railroad as a property.
l Any increase in the State’s
bonded indebtedness.
A too liberal use of the pardcn-
N -
Any move calculated to bring
the Jud.ciary, the kxecutive, or
any other branch of government,
when competently and honorably
conducted, into disrepute.
The above is a summary of the im
portant planks. His position on pub
lic questions in general, as taken
upon nearly every conceivable one
during h:s service in the Legislature,
is so well known that it would bhe
gsuperfluous to restate it in detail
here,
Here are some of the questions with
which the next administration
will have to deal— :
The refund ng of three millions
and a bhalt of bonds.
The disposition of the State’s
railroad for at least another gen
eration,
The reformation of the State’s
fiscal system and the rehabilita
tion of the State’s finances.
The above are the BIG questions
which will have to be solved.
THE BEST EQUIPPED MAN.
Mr. Slaton is well equipped by ex
perience and native ability to handle
them. They are matiers of too much
importance to be trusted to an im
practicable theorist or a visionary
propogandist. 'They call for the ap
plication of practical business sense,
of tried statesmanship. Mr. Slaton
has both.
He offers the people no Utopia, but
efficient and effective service. His
record shows that he may be trusted
to render that wh'ch he proffers.
Twice has he been Speaker of the
House—elected each time without op
position, (Both of his opponents
voted for him.) 4
Twice has he been President of the
Senate—chosen unanimously on each
occasion by a bi-partisan vote.
Though he has presded during
many crucial battles, not once has a
ruling made by him been reversed.
On frequent occasions have his fel
lows—including his opponents—joined
in paying voluntary tribute to his
fairness, his ability and his integrity.
MANHOOD HIS STANDARD,
Jack Slaton #sn’t given to judging
people by label or prejudice, His
criterion is that of &mple, upright
Georgia MANHOOD. For example :
Perhaps ‘the first speech of length
ever del'vered by him in the legisla
tive halls was in favor of seating a
Populist who had been honestly elect
ed. Many of the Democrats, acting
from partisan motives, wanted to un
seat hm. Siaton said, “No; this man
received a majority of the votes and
should retain his place, regardless of
his party afflliation.” He said fur
ther: “NO PARTY SHOULD EVER
BE AFRAID TO DO RIGHT.” He
won his point,
The incident is mentioned to show
Slaton’s inherent sense of fairness—
and for the consideration of a few
who have growled because the ex-
Pupulists, who are thé original pro
gressives, are supporting him,
Above party or faction, Slaton is,
first of all, fair-minded, and believes
in, and insists on, a square deal for
every one.
All factions know they will get a
square deal from him. That's why
they have declared a truce, so far as
the governorship is concerned, and
are joining in choosing him as a dis
tinctly non-factional Governor.
1t accounts for the support he is
receiving from progressives, as well
as conservatives, from ex-Populists as
well as old-line Democrats, from
Smith men as well as Brown men.
The public men of the State are
almost unanimously for him.
The newspapers, with the exception
of four or five, out of nearly 250 in
the State are advocating his candi
dacy.
Less than a score of men in the
present Legislature, of twhich both his
opponents are members, will vote
against him. Less than fifty of all
the twelve hundred ex-members who
have known him are for either of his
opponents.
" And the farmers, the workingmen,
the artisans and the business men are,
so far as can be determined, equally
as strong for him.
And those who know John M. Sla
ton personally know that no one of
the thousands who will vote for him
on next Wednesday will have cause
to regret the act. %
For he is not only going to be Gov
ernor. He is going to make a GOOD
GOVERNOR. B ol

HON. H. H. PERRY
Of Hall County Announces for
United States Senator.
Mr. Perry points out that the bur
den of Federal taxation collected
through the tariff and internal reve
nue and amounting to over $5O a year
for each family, is entirely on the
backs ofithe people and is not shared
in proportion by the wealthy classes.
That an income tax on large incomes,
as in European countries, would not
only relieve the masses of the peo
ple, but would dispense with the ne
cessity for high tariff duties.
He shows that sheltered by the tar
iff wall, great monopolies control the
necessities of life; that the excessive
prices thus imposed on the people
amount to 1,500 millions a year. The
Southern farmers, as well as the bal
ance of us, pay out one-third of the
proceeds of their labor in excessive
prices, for which they get no value
received. That with this burden re
moved, even with cotton at low prices
their profits would make them inde
pendent. Tt is these burdens which
in spite of their industry keep the
farmer cn a strain from crop to crop
and the laboring man on one from day
to day.
Me advocates absolute prohibition
and punishment of so-called trusts
and monopolies of all kinds, but
thinks an income tax and low tariff
would largely break them up.
He favors strict regulation of rail
roads and other public service corpo
rations to prevent discrimination and
unjust rates.
He favors stricter laws against free
passes and lobbying and safeguard
ing our legislation from the influ
ence of special interests. g
He is in favor of the parcels post,
more stringent immigration laws, and
of laws prohibiting speculation on all
products of the farm. He advocates
a. government express service, with
rates according to distance.
He is opposed to the distribution
by congress members of free garden
seed, or other things of value.
He is opposed to private pension
bills and all extravagant appropria
tions and to the excessive mileage
and other allowances and privileges
to congressmen in addition to their
salaries.
He advocates better labor liability
laws. He opposes the employment of
children under 12 years in mills and
factories, and is for shorter hours of
labor for those employed.
He insists that in all cases the peo
ple should select the United States
senators, and this office should no
longer be a plum to be handed out
by the politicians.
He believes the Panama canal
should be made free, and that such
policy would greatly build up ur
South Atlantic ports. He believes
interstate shipments of intoxicants
should be strictly regulated for the
protection of prohibition communi
ties.
He favors Federal aid in building
good roads, and in maintaining
schools for practical agricultural edu
cation.
MR. PERRY’S RECORD.
Judge H. A. Mathews, well known
and honored throughout the state,
when introducing Mr. Perry in Hous
ton county, said: “I have served with
him in the senate and the house,
and can say no one has done more
in the past ten years to advance the
interests of Georgfa.. In broad schol
arship, in mastery of the great na
tional and constitutional questions,
and in practical statesmanship, I
know no man better fitted to repre
sent us in the United States senate.”
Others also eminent have borne sim
flar testimony to his services and fit
ness.
Dr. E. W. Watkins, one of our most
prominent public men, introducing
Mr. Perry in Gilmer, said: “He has
done more than any other man for
advanced legislation in the state.”
Mr. Perry, while born and reared in
South Georgia, removed when a
young man to North Georgia, e
