Anderson, of Savannah, Announces Candidacy In Race for Governor —Photo by HirHhburK & Phillips. At lam tu J. Randolph Anderson, of Savannah, Candidate for Governor. Since announcing his candidacy for governor, J. Randolph Anderson of Sa vannah, has received the most encour aging assurances of support from prac tically every section of the state. Mr. Anderson’s candidacy has met with enthusiastic reception in North Georgia, where he has a farm at Ma rietta, upon which he spends much of his time, as well as in the Southern section where he lives. If early indi cations in the campaign mean any thing, Mr. Anderson already seems to be running a winning race. Many of the newspapers of the state are already actively supporting him and others have volunteered to do so. MR. ANDERSON’S ANNOUNCEMENT. In his formal announcement of his candidacy for governor, Mr. Anderson says: “Savannah, Ga., April 15, 1914. “To the People of Georgia: “I beg leave to announce myself as a candidate for the Governorship, subject to the regulations of the next general primary. “In asking to be entrusted with what I consider to be the highest honor in the gift of our people, I am glad to feel that my candidacy involves no factional issues and should arouse no factional spirit. The spirit of fac tionalism has happily about died away in Georgia, and in the state, as in the nation, we Democrats are lined up with practically unbroken ranks in support of the great measures our party is taking for the common good. I am able therefore to come before you simply as a Georgian and a Democrat, who aspires to devote his best ener gies and talents to the welfare, and upbuilding of his native state. “Our material growth during the past three decades has been so rapid and so great that in some respects we have outgrown the provisions made by our laws, and in conse quence the state and its institutions are in some directions being ham pered and held back. Georgia's great need today is that her people should have a period of political rest in which to have the time and oppor tunity to concentrate their attention and efforts upon a thorough over hauling and readjustment of her busi ness methods and system. We need to apply ourselves for a time to put ting our house and affair* in order, Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi tion of the mucous lining of the Eusta chian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the in flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condi tion of the mucous surfaces. We will Rive One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness tcaused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hail’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. F. J. CHENEY, * CO., Toledo, Ohio.

SEES AN END OF POLITICAL STRIFE. “We have had a surfeit of political strife. Let us now for a while de vote ourselves to measures for bringing the sunshine of prosperity to all the various business activities of the state and into the homes and lives of her individual citizens. 1 will endeavor to invite your atten tion to these matters more in detail during the progress of the campaign. My long service in the house and senate, since 1905, has made me famil iar with the affairs and needs of the state and has qualified me to be of service to you as Governor. “Circumstances have ariseD under which, by operation of law, the duty may be devolved upon me of serving as Acting Governor for some part of the current term. This would re quire me to leave my home and sur render my profession and all business connections. Such a contingency nat urally prompts me to seek election for the next regular term and gives me, I trust, some personal claim to ask for it, so that I may at least be allowed to remain in office long enough to be given a fair trial both as to my desire and a* to my ability to serve you well. PROHIBITION QUESTION ALREADY SETTLED. “'Some inquiry has been made as to how far the prohibition question may be involved in my candidacy. I wish to state that it is not involved at all. Prohibition should no longer be con sidered a political issue in Georgia. It has become a matter of established law, and I think most of the prohibi tion leaders now agree that the law is sufficient and that continued political agitation of the subject is no longer needed, and would be unwise. No sub stantial demand exists anywhere in Georgia for its repeal, and it should be regarded as an issue that is now settled and behind us. “If I am elected, it will be my duty to regard and treat the prohibition law as one of the settled, established laws of the state, and in this, as in all other matters, I will try to dis charge my duty faithfully, fearlessly and fully. “J.
