Atlanta, (Ga,, Auvgust 12.—The gu

practically close with the presenl

Mr. Blator has made a clean fight.

he has confined his platform pledges
to what he means and what he be
lieves he can accompiish. He has
proffered np unredeemable political

of denunclation or anything partaking

prevent the confusion caused two
years ago Ly three candidacies,

ke seeks. Hkach page of every chap
ter of that service is as readable as
#he sun at noon. To the man that
§s umbiased—and the time has come
fn Georgia to strike bias if we are
to have effective goverinment—no item
fn any one of the chapters cf Jack
Slaton's service can be challenged.
Not one has been attacked or criticis
ed by hs bitierest foes—if he has
any real foes.
~ ASK THOSE WHO KNOW HIM.
Seattered in-every county of Geor
@ia are men of worth and reputation
who have served with and under Sla
tom in the l.egislature, These men
came from and returned to the peo.
ple. Ask them about Slaton. He 's
willing to atide their verdict.
Johm M. Slaton has conducted a
straightforward campaign. Ignoring
the politicians as such, he has gone
direct to the individual voter. His
e¢andid 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 Wwith
selfish interests to serve.
’ HIS PLATFORM.
The platform, in its part'cular fea
gures, upon which he has made the
race is the sanest and soundest yet
Pproposed.
#He stands for—
. ‘The preservation of the West
| ern and Atlantic Railroad as a
. property of the State.
! The development of our swamp
* Jands,
improvement of educational fa
eilities until every tow-headed
{ <hild may rece've suficient edu

A too Yiberal use of the pardon-
Any move calculated to bring

auy other brauncin of government,

conductedg, Into wsrepate.
The above is a sunuuary of the im
poriant planks. fiis pousition on puw
lic questions in general, as taken
upon nearly every couceivable one
Guring his service in the Legisiature,
is so well known that it wouid be
guperflugus 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 halt of oonds,
The disposition of the State'’s
railroad for at least another gen
eration,
The reformation of the State’s
fiscal system and the rehabilitd
tion of the State’s finances.
The above are the BIG questions
which w.ll have to be solved.
THE BEST ECUIPPED MAN.
Mi. Slaton is well equipped by ex
perience and native ability to handle
them. They are ioatiers of too much
.mportance to be trusted to an im
practicabie theorist or a visionary
propogandist, They ea'l for the ap
plication of practical business sense,
of tried statesmansiip. Mr. Slaton
has both.
He offers the people no Utopia, but
efficient and effect:ve service, His
record shows that he may be trusted
to render that wh.ch he profiers.
Twice has he been Speaker of the
Houge--elected each time without op
pasit:on, (Both of his opponents
voted for him.)
Twice has he been President of the
Senate-—chosen unanimously on each
occasicn Ly a bi-partisan vote.
Though hé h&s presided during
many crucial batiles, not once has a
ruling made by him been reversed.
On frequent cccasions have his fel
lows—including his opponents—joinad
in paying voluntary tribute to his
fairness, his ability and his integrity.
MANHOOD HIS STANDARD.
Jack Slaton Tisn't given to judging
people by label or prejudice, His
c¢riterion is that of simple, upright
Georgia MANHOOD. For examp:ie:
Fernaps the first speech of length
ever ael.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
trem pariisan motives, wanted to un
seat hm. Slaton said, “No; this man
received a majority of the votes and
should retain his place, regardless ot
his party afflliat.on.” He said fur
ther: “NO PARTY SHOULD EVER
BE AFRAID TO DO RIGHT.” He
won hig point, e
The incident is mentioned to show
Slaton’s inherent sense of fairness—
and for the cons.deration of a few
who have growled because the ex-
Populists, who are the original pro
gressives, are support:ng him.
Above party or faction, Slaton is,
first of all, fair-minded, and believes
in, and insists on, a square deal for
every one, & o
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.
It accounts for the support he is
receiving from progressives, as well
as conservatives, from ex-Populists as
well as oldline Democrats, from
Smith men as well as Brewn 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 which 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. ph o £
And the farmers, the workingmen,
the artsans and the business men are,
so far as can be determined, equally
as strong for him. ;
And these who know John M. Sla
ton personally know that no one of
the thousands who will vote for him
en next Wednesday will have cause
to regret the act.
For he is not only going fo be Gov
ernor. He is going to make a GOOD
GOVERNOR.

HON. H. H. PERRY
Of Hall County Arncunces for
United States Scnator.
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 pecple and is not shared
in propertion by the wealthy classes.
That an income tax on large incomes,
as in European countries, would not
on'y 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. It is these burdems which
in spite of their industry keep the
farmer on a strain from crop to crop
and the laboring man on one from day
to day.
He advocates absclute prchibition
and punishment of so-called trusts
and menopolies of all kinds, but
thinks an income tax and low tariif
wonld 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 infic
ence of special ifiterests.
He is in faver 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 ccngress members of free garden
seed, or other things of value.
He is opposed to private pension
bills and all extravagant appropria
ticns 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 our
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 Georgia. In broad schol
arship, in mastery of the gréat na
tional and constitutional questions,
and in practical statesmanship, I
know no man better fitted to repre
gent us in the United States senate.”
Others also emiment have borne sim
ilar testimony to his services and fit
ness. s
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 Georgla, removed when a
young man to North Georgia -

Astor Baby Arrives;
Heir to Three Millions
New York, Aug. 14.—Mrs.
Madeline Force-Astor, survivor
of the Titantic disaster in which
her husband, Col. John Jacob
Astor lost his life, gave birth to
a son at 8:15 o’clock this morn
ing.
The new arrival has been nam
ed John Jacob Astor after his
father. The boy becomes a direct
heir to $3.000,000 of the Astor
fortune. .
News of the arrival of the As
tor baby was made known in a
bulletin issued by Dr. Edwin B.
Craigin, the attending physician.
The hulletin reads:
~ “Mrs. 2stor has a son, born at
8:15 o’clock. His name is John
Jacob Astor. Mother and sonin
good condition.
The faet that his father proved
‘himself a hero in the Titantic
disaster and that his wife from
whom he then parted was his
bride of only a few months, counl
‘ed with the large fortune which
‘was provided for a posthumous
child, have lent unusual interest
to the youngster Astor.
The new Astor baby will be
one of the few children ever born
} with a fortune as large as $3,000,-
€OO in its own right.
. Colonel Astor had provided
-whether the child was a boy or
’girl, it should receive $3,000,000.
Even if the stork had brought
‘more than one child, Col. Astor’s
will covered that contingency,
because it reads as follows:
I bequeath such number of
sepgrate sums of $3,000,000 each
-a:?:all be equal to the number
of ‘my children who shall survive
me other than my son Wm. Vin
cent Astor and my daughter, Ava
Muriel Astor.
l The latter children are by Col.
Astor’s first wife, Mrs. Avon
Willing Astor. ‘
