WJJV , W W f. HB|[ * Saraiteg • A AUGUSTUS O. BACON. senator bacon 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.” WE ARK BUILDING A CITY HERE. Winder, Jackson County, Ga., Thursday, April 17th , 1913. WOULD BUY LESISLATCKS 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.

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..
