Will Have to Be Elected by the
People at Special Election
The next legislature will have
to call a special election to choose
h senator under the n w am n i
ment to the Cos stituth n. This
no doubt will be done as soon as
the general assembly meets. Of
course the elecion will be mere
ly a formality so far as the Dem
ocrats of Georgia are c meerned,
as lie is already the Democratic
nominee, and a Democrat who
would oppose him would be an
independent. Speaking of this
phase of the situation. The Ma
con Telegraph wMI says:
Senator Bac n was no’ni at and
iu last year’s primary to succeed
himself. In Gorgia an mina'i n
is equivalent to an election. Whih
it was the expectation that his fi
nal election would he accomplish
ed by the Legislature, the eh-inge
in O institution which now pro
vides for an election by the peo
pie, does not alter the binding ef
fect of that nomination in the
least degree. He was nominated
for election. Ti e fact that the
mode or manner of election has
been changed does not militate
against the nomination, lint no
newspaper, no person, in this
State, so far as We have s en, coin
tends that it does, lif any one
opposes Senator Bacon in the elec
tion wfhich must Ite held, lie will
do so as an independent, or as tilt
candidate of some politic 1 party
other that the Democratic party,
lit is certain that n > Democrat
will oppose him. It is altogether
probable that n > one at all will
oppose him. 1
“On the first day’s session of
the Legi l iture a bill will be infn
duced calling an election to be
held with in a short time so the
returns ean be made ami the re
sult de dared b d'ore the Legisla
ture adjmirns. The bill ean be
come a law within seven days.
The election ean he held within
two weeks and Senator Bacon re
commissioned easily within the
term of the Legislature. Th : s
would prevent a lapse in his con
t nuous serv-ces, and prevent the
loss of one vote in the Senate dur
ing a time when every Democrat
ic vote will be needed.
“Tlie Georgia Legislature ean
he depended on to take care of
the s’tuiti n A<c riling to the
best lawyers in the Senate, no
complications can arise if th* St n
ator gets his new commission be
fore the Legislature adjourns.”

Banker Would Pass Bill Be
fore Legislature Meets.
At a meeting of the Georgia
Bankers’ Association, lion. Or
ville H. Park is reported to have
addressed his brother bankers re
lative to the banking bill which
will be introduced in the coming
session of the logi 1 autre as fol
lows:
“When the representatives and
senators, who are young lawyers,
come to you before going to At
lanta to attend the legislature
and seek to make loans, then is
the time for you to act. Make a
loan of money contingent upon
agreement to pass this bill just
as we want it.”
Molliey is powerful, and this
sort of tact us might explain s me
of the unjust and cumbersome
laws that now confront our peo
ple. But we refuse to believe the
average member of the Georgia
assembly is for sale at any price.
Even if he is. Banker Park has
made an error in publishing it
abroad that the hankers will
stand for that kind of a gauu
The banking laws of Georgia
need strengthening for the good
of both bankers and depositors,
and is is hoped the g< neral as
sembly will not class all b mkeis
with this money shark.

Scouts Vs. Crackers.
There was another enthusiastic
ball game at the Athletic Park
last Saturday afternoon between
the Boy Scouts and the Crackers*
Winder’s young devotees to the

bill for the evening and the
Scouts walked awmy with both
games. A week previous to this
the Crackers bad the best of the

Hoke Smith, and with a veiy lim

my candidacy.
“If my wishes and personal
preferen*e controlled me, 1 would
defer this announcement for
many mo itbs. But owing to the
fact that there are so many bur
dens incidents to a campaign of
such importance, and the addition
al fact that probably there will
be other candidates in t lu* field
who at this time are more widely
known to the people of Georgia
than am I, my friends have advis
ed me to enter the race at once.
“In the beginning of this an
noifncement, 1 want to say that
Ii am entering this race as a free
and unDammeled candidate and
in like luauimr, I shill come out
of it either in victory or defeat..
I shall side st pno issue, but
shall stand up in the lull st - hire
