ROOSEVELTWARD.
]i ig evident, says the Sp.vnnn&h
, f hut there is going fco be a
gir0 ng effort to nominate Mr. Boose*
vc-1 at Chicago. It isn’t said yet
that there will be an effort to stam
pede the convention of him, bat the
,j<rn* indicate that there will be a
tremendous effort to have him with-
nrH w his declaration that he
wouldn’t accept the nomination or
to r'-ate a situation that will appeal
strongly to him to lead his party in
the present contest. The feeling is
becoming stronger every day
among the Republican leaders that
it will he a difficult matter for their
partv to win the election with any
other candidate than Mr. Roosevelt.
I; is being pointed out that Mr.
Taft excites no*enthasiasm and that
he bus the negro vote against him.
The party is tom by factions and it
isn’t believed that Mr. Taft can hai>
monize them. It is genuine alarm,
therefore, that causes that party
leaders to turn to the president. It
isn't because they admire him or
really want him that they are doing
this, but simply to save their party
from defeat
A canvass of the league of Repub -
l.can clubs of New York has just
been completed, and although the
h'evr York delegation to Chicago is
instructed for Gov. Hughes, the
choice, almost unanimously, is for the
president. It is pointed out that he
could carry New York, and that it
is doubtful if Mr. Taft could. With
out New York the Republican
party would stand but a poor chance
ot winning.
Another thing is having weight
with the party leaders, and that is
that the other candidates are com
bining their forces to defeat Mr.
Taft. It doesn’t look as if they
would sncceed, but if they don’t
they will at least inject into the
ranks of the party a good deal ot
bitterness, and that will lessen the
forcefnlness of tlie party in the cam-
paign.
It isn’t, hinted that the president
b M-i-ldiig the nomination. On the
Contrary, it is conceded that he is
playing fair, as it were, with Mr
fait. If therefore the President’s
name is brought before the conven
tion it will be against his will.
Tho canvass of the league ot the
Republican clubs of New York is
c l tain to have a very considerable
effect upon the party in other states
Therefore it may be reasonably ex
pected that the Roosevelt move
ment will grow iu force from now
until the assembling of the oonvem
tion at Chicago.
It is not only kuown throughout
Georgia that the liquor men aie
Imed up against Governor Smith,
but it is known throughout the
whole couutry and if it were pos
sible to defeat him for re-election
t.'.r back'set which would be given
tb« prohibition cause in the United
States would be so great that it
would take 25 years to recover from
it.
lhere are three specific objects
* mck the opposition hopes to ac
complish. \
First, they hope to defeat the dis
franchisement law.
Second, they hope to break down
*■’<- prohibition law.
1 bird, they hope to destroy the
•'fulness of the stale railroad com
mission.

The Negro Vote
and Prohibition
There can be no permanency to
anti-saloon legislation in Georgia or
in any other southern state unless
negro disfranchisement is affixed to
our state constitution. There never
was any success to prohibition
movements in the strictly southern
states to long as the negro vote was
not restricted, and a state adminis
tration which has made disfranchise*
ment a paramount issue is the one
to be]supported unless we are willing
to encourage reaction against pro
hibition and the fundamental prin
ciple and necessity of white sup
remacy iu every southern state.
It is not even open to debate that
so long as the ignorant and pur*
chasuble negro voter remained as
the balauce of power in Georgia
politics it was impossible to bring
state prohibition even to a vote in
Georgia, and that the surest safe
guard tor the measure is to keep the
negro out of politics seems equally
incoutestible.
Eveiy faiiuninded man in Georgia
who has taken the trouble to con’
aider the situation for a moment
must recognize that a state adminis 1
tration which has made disfranchise!
ment a paramount issuers the one to
tie supported, unless we are willing
to eucourage reaction against pro
hibition and white supremacy.
Your Duty to Vote.
It is not only a privilege, but it
is the duty of all good citizens to
vote. We are a selfgoverning peo
ple. We choose our own officers
and make our own laws through
the representatives we elect- If we
have bad laws it is our own fault.
It we have laws which are injurious
to the people’s interests they have
only themselves to blame, since it
rests with them to elect men to pass
uch laws as they conceive to be
best.
It is therefore the duty of every
good citizen to vote in every elec
tion. That duty is to be exercised
now in a short time. The primary
for state officers is to be held on
June 4, and this primary is really
the election. The officers to be
chosen are to serve for two years,
and their acts will to a greater or
less, but certainly, to some extent
affect the welfare of the people. It
is important, then, that every good
Citizen should vote.
It is said by some that there are
only personal issues involved in this
campaign, and that it really makes
very little difference what candi
dates are elected. This is a great
mistake. A momentous issue is in
volved in the question that is to be
settled in this primary by the choice
of candidates, an issue which more
than any other will directly affect
all the interests of the state. That
is whether the railroads shall be
again given domination of the af
fairs of the state, or whether the
state government shall be operated
in the interests of the people. It is
not a question of the personality of
candidates, but a grave question of
state policy that is involved, and
every good citizen should qualify to
vote.
Only ten more <iaya remain for
registration, and the^-e are many eit.
izeus who have not as yet register
ed. They should attend to thif
duty at once. Delays are danger*,
oas, because at the very last some
thing may arise which makes it im
possible to attend to this.
Every good citizen who has not
as yet registered should attend to
this matter without further delay.

Who May Vote.
The two paragraphs covering the
subject of qualification of voters, as
laid down by the State Democratic
(Committee at its meeting at which
the primary on the 4th ot June was
ordered, are as follows:
“All white Democratic voters
who have duly registered according
to law in 1907 or 1908 not less than
10 days before said primary, and
who are otherwise qualified to vote
iu the next general election, shall
be entitled to vote.”
“The term ‘white Democrat’ as
used above, shall include all quali
fied white voters in Georgia, irre
spective of their past yolitical affib
iationo, who in good faith desire to
align themselves with the Demo
cratic party, and who intend to
abide the result ot the party pri
mary and support the party nomi
nation.”
Death Was «u His Heels.
Jes e P. Morris, of Skippers, Va.,
had a close call in the spring of
1900. He says: “An attack of
pneumonia left me bo weak and with
such a fearful cough that my friends
declared consumption had me, and
death was on my heels. Then i was
persuaded to try Dr. King’s New
Discovery. It helped me immedi
ately, aud after taking two and a
half bottles 1 was a well man again.
I found out that New Discovery is
the best remedy for coughs and lung
disease in all the world.” Sold un 1

What Tk Kidneys Do
Their Unceasing Work
Keeps Us Strong and
Healthy
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every j
three minutes. The kidneys Alter,
the blood. They worK night and j
day. When healthy they removed
about 500 grains of impure* matter
dally, when unhealthy some
part of this impure matter
is left on the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms—
pain the back, headaches, nerv
ousness, hot, dry skin, rheuma
tism, gout, gravel, disordors of the
eyesight and hearing, dizziness,
dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc,
But if you keep the filters right
you will eeve no trouble with your
kidneys.
J. E. Y, Jester, living at 543 Cal
houn street, Bainbridge, Ga.,says:
“1 suffered more or less from kid
ney for several years, caused,!
think, by the excess uf uric acid
in my system. At times 1 was
very weaL, and was subject to
nervous spells. My kidneys sit
times seemed clogged. I wzs fin
ally told of Doan’s Kidney -Pills
and procured a box at Willis Drug
Company. Since using them I am
feeling a great deal better. I am
much stronger and my Kidneys
act more regularly. I give Doan’s
Kidney Pills the eredit for the
change in my 'condition, and do
not hesitate to recommend them
to others.”

For Judge Albany Circuit
To the people of the Albany Circuit:
In response to the encouraging wishes
many good citizens, as well as my own an .
bition to serve the people, 1 announce ns ..
randidate for Judge of tlie Superior Court
of the Albany Circuit, subject to the rales
of the democratic primary on June 4.
lnjnakwg this announcement I pledge
the people to devote my undivided atten
tion to the duties of the office, to hold the
courts regularly at the times appointed by
law, and as rapidly as shall be consistent
with justice bring the business of the
courts up to date, and keep it there;
* : To run the courts of each ccunty with a
saving to the people and tax payeis. and I
assure the people that much expense can
be saved by proper economic couduct of
the office;
To give all people alike fair and impar-
tiai^trial, to hear with patience and lespeef
motions for new trial, and to give fair bills
of exceptions;
To take no hand in trying to influence
the people of any county 'as to what par
ticular c >unty officers they shall choose,
and as to how they conduct their local po
litical affairs; this . being a matter for the
people of each county, and exclusively
their own affair;
Never to forget that i atn one of the peo
ple; that I owe my position to the people;
and'that while 1 may ( serve the people in
an honorable capacity, yet at a breath of
the people the power ' can be shorn from
me.
1 am not put forward, not am I induced
to enter this race, by the political rulers of
the counties of this circuit, Whatever
discouragement 1 have met has come from
them. '1 hose who have urged and now
urge my race are the plain people, and I
respond to iheir wishes.
Believing that voters today a:c intelli-
p-it enough and independent enough
choose their own officers without the Mi
vice of political bosses; and that they ca
make a choice in two or three- mo- ths
well as after a long drawn out campaign,
enter the r^ce confidently bel.cvi:
the demands of the plain, thinking pcopL
will prevail on June 4rh.
I hope to communicate, either by letter
or in person with each voter between now
and the election on June 4th, and invite a
thorough understanding of the principles
upon which 1 base my candidacy for this
office. —
' Earnestly soliciting the support of every
voter who desires an honest impartial,
economic and respectful administration #f
tht;_dtUies of this office, I am,
With respect for all,
✓ FRANK PARA.
