If you want to vote for a win
ner pick Governor Harris.
The moqsuito also believes in
advertising, hut wish he didn’t
Have you a little candidate for
the judgeship of the court of ap
peals in your town?
What has become of the old
fashioned candidate who didn’t
claim his election by a landslide?
An Atlanta woman shot an At
lanta captain, in Macon. The
trouble doesn’t appear to have
been over moving the capital.
Didn’t really know Georgia had
so many fine lawyers until an op
portunity came to vote for three
additional judges of the Court of
Appeals.
Now that cotton is going up
wouldn’t it he a good idea for
you to pay up and get your slate
clear for another year? The pay
up idea is a great thing.
When a political campaign gets
to the lemonade, barbecue stage
we tkae it that things are pick
ing up right along. Some of the
candidates are thus tempting the
wily voter.
If the worst comes to the worst
and the strike is really declared
we trust President Wilson will
call on the vvhittlers and loafers,
who so well know how to run
the government.
The fact that Governor Harris
made fifteen speeches in six days
nails the charge that he is too
old to be governor. At the wind
up he didn’t complain of his
throat or other infirmities, either.
Uncle Samuel, our own great
national government, is one of
the chief space grafters. The
army and the navy, the postoffice,
the internal revenue, health and
bureau and scores of other em
ployees, are all paid for their
services. But your Uncle Sammie
wants the weekly newspapers to
do a lot of publicity for the glory
there is in it. The government
ought really to be ashamed of it
self. But everybody else rides
the newspapers and Uncle Sam
probably thinks he has a right to
do it, too.
Governor Harris has the bits
in his teeth and is running
strong. The tide has turned in
favor of the old war horse and
his nomination is practically as
sured. The sound common sense
of the voters is asserting itself
and (lovernor Harris will get his
second term.
If the voters are going to elect
governor every solicitor who did
his du'y we have figured that
Georgia will have asmany govern
ors as Brigham Young had wives.
Every solicitor in Georgia
that we ever heard of was hon
est. brave and eouropeous.
When Judge Searcv gets a
whiskey seller before him, the
way he imposes a sentence is
highly satisfactory to the friends
of prohibition. Straight chain
gang sentences will come nearer
breaking up the liquor traffic
than anything yet tried.
Platforms are made to catch
votes. The man who can pull
the most wool over the people’s
eves is likely to get the votes.
Plain lying, deceit, appeals to
passion and prejudice, tricks of
all kind sre resorted to by some of
the candidates. When will old
man people get his eyes open to
the truth?
It will be a pleasure for Butts
county friends to support the
Hon. 0. H. B. Bloodworth, of
Forsyth, for a place on the Court
of Appeals. He was formerly
solicitor general of this circuit, is
well and wholesomely known to
the people here and will be ac
corded a loyal support. Mr.
Bloodworth is expected to be one
of the serious contenders for this
office.
It is significant that such pa
pers as the Macon Telegraph,
Macon News, Augusta Chronicle,
Atlanta Georgian, Athens Ban
ner, Dalton Citizen, Waycross
Herald-Journal, Hawkinsv ill e
News-Dispatch, Swainesboro
Forest Blade, Laurens Citizen,
Cochran Journal, Bulloch Times,
Elberton Star, and scores of oth
ers, are supporting Governor
Harris for re-election. The vo
ters of Georgia owe Governor
Harris a moral obligation—a
second term. The people of
the state, as a whole, are
reasonable and fair and when
they realize that it is their duty
to support Governor Harris for a
second term thev will do it.
