THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
'~ He that is not with me is against me.—Luke 9:23.
. An enemy despised is the most dangerous of all
enemies.—PPublius Syrus. 7
THE DEATH KNELL HAS BEEN SOUNDED.
. The results of Wednesday’s election were the
~death knell for the ring peliticians and the political
‘machine that has been functioning in this state for
weral years. Two years ago the people expressed
by their ballots in no uncertain terms their disappro
val of machine politics as practiced in Georgia by an
ofganization of ring politicians supported by special
ifitgrests by the overwhelming election of Governor
L. G. Hardman. Their wishes as expressed at the
‘ballot box were disregarded and the most nefarious
Eoc ever inaugurated in this state was organized and
lead by Senater Rivers, who opposed Governor Hard
man for re-election in the primary of Wednesday.
Again the people repudiated the wing politicians,
and the political machine cperated by this same
crewd under a new leader—Senator Rivers. The con
test between Governor Hardman and Senator Rivers
represented the same issues as fought out in 1926.
The re-election of Governor Hardman means that the
people are determined to have an honest and busi
ness-like administration of their affairs; it means
the absclute repudiation of the pclitical machine
ringsters and the restoring of the state’s affairs to
the hands of men who will administer them in a con
scientious manner and for the best interest of all the
people. It means the overthrow of the invisible gov
ernment and that the candidacy cf any man known
to have originated in secrecs behind loclif,d doors
will meet with a crushing defeat and receive an ab
solute repudiation from the people of Georgia.
Senator Rivers’ candidacy was born of malice and
corruption; it was the creature of designing ring poli
ticians, who would not nesitate to approach prison
bars in order to carry out their nefarious schemes
and plans for their own personal and political gain.
Hig candidacy brought on a serious condition in Geor
gia and but for the timely &rousal to action by the
people there is no telling to what extent his success
might have carried loss to the best interest of thc
state. His defeat has clarified the situation and
shows that hereafter, political machines and ring
politicians will not be permitted tc operate in Geor
gla.
Tgfiovemor Hardman’s -re-election will mean the
.fifllt‘king of a new era in this state; it will mean that
no mere senate bloes will be organized and that at
the 1929 session of the general assembly the policies
desired by the people and spenscred by Governor
Hardman will be carried out and enacted into laws.
- There is a bright future for Georgia and for the
fitxt twe years, tne people will have a voice in their
affairs, through Governor Hardman, who will see to
it that their wishes and desires are carried out
through an economical and business-like adminigtra
+ CONGRESSMAN BRAND FOR SMITH.
\y;h.rgoe of the clearest and most forcible presenta
ticns of his position as to “why he is for Smith,”
Congressman Brand has issued a statement setting
forth many reasons that are not only convincing, but
it should be printed and broadcast into the homes of
every family in the nation. Judge Brand has been
-a membert of congress for many years; he has served
‘under both Republican and Democratic presidents
‘and administrations; his positions have been sound
on all issues affecting the welfare of the nation, but
_in his recent statement giving his reasons for support
ing Governor Alfred E. Smith, the democratic nomi
nee for the presidency, he has presented a view of
thh;,gresent conditions facing the country that can
not be misunderstood or questioned. In a concise
_manner, Judge Brand, said:
.1 prefer Smith for Prresident because I am a
democrat an? because Smith has been a democrat
all his life. I am against Hcover because in 1917 he
'said he was neither a republican nor a democrat,
though as a candidate he has the stamp of the Repub
lican machine.
1 prefer Smith because he is honest, courageous,
and incorruptible. Governor Smith’s bitterest ene
mies concede this,
e til f)reier Smith because I am opposed to social and
racinl equality.
} . “Hoover’s acts and declarations show that he is
either in favor of social and rac.al equality or he is
not epposed to it. Hoover recognizes no difference
between the white, vellow, brown and black races.
If he is elected President he will be a dangerous foe
to the white people of the South in respect to this
question.”
- From the foregoing, it will be seen that his posi
tion is clear and absclutely in line with true deinoe
racy. Such declarations should satisfy the minds of
the most skeptical democrats and cause them to con
gider well and seriously the obligation they owe to
their party and so themselves before being led off
to the support of Hoover and the Kepublican party
Which means the abolition of white supremacy and
the restoring of negro domination as experienced
g}lfing a period following the closing of the Civil
yar.

DID IT EVER OCCUR
TO YOU?
A Little of Everything and Not
Much of Anything.
By HUGH ROWE
The election is over and
Governor Hardman and Euy
gene Talmadge have been
elected by decisive majorities
just as predicted by the Bap
ner-Herald.
The opposition to Governor
Hardman wag uncalled for;. it was
a movement inaugurated by Sena
tor Rivers, while a m&mber of the
sénate, to enable him to hecome a
candidate for goverpor. He or
ganized and led a bloe in the
‘senate calculated to defeat the
will of the people and to destroy
the administration of Governgr
Hardman. It was designing move
ment and one born of malice and
corruption. However, the people
were not deceived by Senator
Rivers and the machine politicians
which was clearly shown by the
results of the election held Wed
nesday.
Governor Hardman has made
one of the best governors this
state has ever elected. Ip fact
of the senate bloc’s opposition,
he accomplished a great deal
for Georgia.
He is now fortified against a
recurrence of the Rivers bloc, The
members of the incoming senate,
regardless of the claim that a
majority of them have been “hand.
picked” by the chairman of the
highway commission, in order that
he may continue in that position,
will not stand out against the gov
ernor and the wigshes of the peo
ple by blocking the appointment
of some capable man for the chair
manship of that commisgion.
There is no doubt about Governor
Hardmian reorganizing the high
way department next year and
giving to the people a business
syst™f of road building that will
not only save the tax payers of
this state miilions of dollars, but
will give to them a system of a
paved highways that will be N
credit to Georgia. ¢
The re-election of Eugene
Talmadge was another death
knell to the ring politicians,
who have been operating a
political machine in this state
for many years.
The people of Georgia have
grown sick and tired of being in
the claws of the ringsiers. They
have on two occasiong in the past
two years repudiated the machine
politicans by overwhelming ma
jorities in the election of Gover
nor Hardman and Commissioner
Talmadge. There is no mistake
in Gorgia. The old “rats in the
sters. The day of +he profession
al and machine politician in past
in Georgia. The old “rats” in the
barn”” have heen ousted and a new
reg'me of business and profession
al,men will conduct the affairs 4
thig state in the future. Ring rule
and machine politics will no longer
be permitted. . The maclflne thas
been smashed—the caghalties have
resulted in the political death of
the operators. Georgia has at last
bheen emancipated.

Tony told her father when ready
to gg downstairs at kast. “Can’t
you get her into the back garden
or something? I want ‘o talk to
Dick alone.”
She didn't put tuts words that

with a lvrzh yellow moon riding
like a ra‘n-wet marigold in the
sky, with the air sweet with sum

riding with Dick for fear that the
old spell would be upon her.
Even understanding Pat didn’t
quiet see, either, knowing that it
was a rare evening indeed which
Tony, spent at home. .
“You know how Pegs sticks to
the crowd and any stranger who'll
I'sten,” he said. “Guess you'd
better get off the premises, Tony.”
Tony sheathed herself in ice
and iron so tall so unyiel'('fing S 0
almost odd as she stepped into the
porch that Dick rising looked at
her in awe as if here was a girl
he d'd not know.
Tony utterly ignored her moth-

drive and whizzing down the
street.
Dick turned a reflective eye on
Tony as Stanton was left behind
and they were rushing along a
country road.
“Why the simple innocence
garb?’ he asked. “Thought you
were going to dance at The Groves
tonight,” and the coolness of his
voice told Tony the thing she had
always “known—that most of his
love for her was pride in her beau
ty and elegance—pride in being
geen with a girl other men cov
eted.
“No, we're not dancing fonight,
Dick. We're talking,” Tony said.
“please park the car when you
can so that we can really talk.,”
“That place’s right here,” said
Dick, turning from the main high
way to a little dirt road. He fol
lowed it for a mile or so when it
ended in a woods.
“Special paradise for spooners,
only they don't know the road.”
Dick shut off the engine and turn
ed to take Tony in his arms.
“No!” said Tony, halding her
gelf rigid and pushing him away.
“Dick, that’s what T want to
talk about. Have we ever done
anything together but pet? Have
we ever talked for ten minuteg at
a t'me? Let's try it now.”
“Your idea of a hot evening?”
Dick sneered. “Well, it's not
mine. I want some of the well
known brand of Tony Tarver af
fection.”
“You've done 'what 1 wanted
done without talking, Dick,
said Tony quietly. “You've freed
me. I'm not afra‘d of myself any
longer and I wouldn’t marry you if
vou were the fast man in the world.
“Now, drive me home’.
“Oh, just like that? ‘Now drive
me home!’” Dick mimicked. “I'll
drive you home when I'm good and
ready!” And again his arms were
iron about her . '

Pelley Discusses
Raiiroad’s Problems
““SAVANNAH, Ga. — That those
who wuse transportation gshould
give thought to ceriain current
tendencies which if continued
will threaten the railroads’ ability
to render the good service which
the public now takes for granted,
is the assertion of President John
J. Pelley of the Central of Georgia
in « statement published today.
“Transportation, like any other
industry, can succeed only if
there is a safe margin between
cost of production and selling
price” says Mr. Pelley. “The prin
cipal item of railroad expenditures
is wages. Large groups of em
ployes have within the past two
vears received substantial wage in
craaseg under the operation of
the Federal Labor Law. Taxes
and other costs have alsg in
creased. The principal item of
ra¥road revenue is freight rates,
and reductions in those rates are
continually being made. Had the
1921 freight rates been in effect in
1927 the public would have paid
at least 800 mill’on dollars more
for transportation service.”
({fling aiteniion to the fact
that the rate of return on railroad
investment has been lower thus
far in 1928 than at any time sincs
1922, Mr. Pelley says that it
should be obvioug that the rail-
Toads cannot continue to operate
successfully and render the prec
ent quality of satisfactory cervice

. “The railroads can continue to
‘provide ‘the adequate service;that
business requires ' only * if ‘their

dent Pelley. “The oniy factor
limiting railway development ig
the inability of The railroads to

it. Rates should be regulated in
