Anderson Alone, Offers
A Progressive Platform
J. Randolph Anderson of Savannah is the only candidate
in the race for governor who has offered the voters, of the
state a substantially constructive and progressive pialonn.
His committee submits to the voters substantial reasons
wby he should be elected, rather than reasons why others
should not be.
Long legislative service, including the presidency of the
state senate the past two sessions, has not only familiarized
him with state conditions, but has brought him into inti
mate touch with public needs in all their phases. He has,
accordingly, outlined a program which must appeal strong
ly to the voter who has Georgia’s progress and advancement
at heart. . .
Extension of the powers of the railroad commission so
as to protect the people in their dealings with all corpora
tions, and the elimination of a lot of Georgia’s unnecessary
politics, are among the features which appeal strongly to
the progressive voter. _ ....
Mr. Anderson has not had the opportunity of visiting all
the counties of the state, and as he is detained in Atlanta
by his duties as president of the senate, his campaign com
mittee takes this method of presenting briefly his plat
form principles to the voters of the state.
In setting forth the principles for which he stands, and
the enactment of which he will urge, Mr. Anderson says:
The functions of the railroad commission should he en
larged and it should be made a state corporation commis
sion. # ...
Georgia needs a careful and economical administration of
her finances, held within the limits of her income.
The Western and Atlantic Railroad should be leased so
as to bring the maximum return to the state, and to pro
tect the counties and towns upon the line in the matter
of taxes. . .
Georgia should have a state highway commission to co
operate with the counties in the improvement of public
roads. ,
Better and stronger laws should be enacted for tne ad
vancement of Georgia’s educational system and the pro
tection of her teachers.
He does not favor the leasing of the Western and At
lantic Railroad bv the Seaboard, because it would invite
paralleling by the L. and N. and thus endanger the
state’s property.
Georgia needs an adequate system for tne collection
and recording of her vital statistics.
The drainage of Georgia’s overflow and swamp lands is
an important and much needed state development.
\ safe system of rural credits should be established for
the advancement of agriculture, to which an effective
system of land title registration should be provided as a
preliminary.
The equal and impartial enforcement of all the laws is
the duty of every public official.
The Georgia legislature should meet only once every
two years.
The governor should be elected only once every four years
and permitted to serve only one term.
The terms of office of all statehouse and all county ofu
cers should be made four years, thus reducing our poli
tics one-half. . .
There has been no governor from South Georgia since
1823.
