HON. W BitANTI.EV.
It gives ns much pleasure to
state that the above-named gentle¬
man lias no opposition, He lias
made, and is making, a faithful
representative in the halls of con
gross. We presume that our execu
tive committee has not overlooked
our congressman, and that instead
of a primary, the mass meeting
will elect the delegate to the con¬
gressional convention.
ATKINSON'S SPEECH.
Judge Spencer R. Atkinson ad¬
dressed (in* people of Eastman
and Dodge county last Tuesday on
1 hi* issues if the gubernatorial
campaign, Mr. Atkinson is not
what might be termed a brilliant
speaker, but what he says is full
of common sense and logic, and
always pertinent to the subject
under discussion—after the order
of oratory of the late
•
.
Chas. F. Crisp. His argument is
irresistible, unanswerable.
Through the courtesy of Judge
Smilh, superior court was ad¬
journed so that the officers and
attendants might have the oppor
tunity of hearing the address. Mr.
Atkinson spoke for one hour and
a half, and into every minute of
that time he crowded argument at
once convincing and invincible.
He reviewed liis own campaign, as
well as that of his opponents, and
left the latter, as usual, with
nothing to recommend them for
the suffrage of the people, Ho
rehearsed the main points at issue,
as he has done frequently before,
and although many <>t our people
are familiar with them, a short
review will not be out of place.
Mr. Atkinson first touched on
the question of taxes, This he
declared was the question of most
vital importance to the state, All
three of the candidates for gov¬
ernor have declared this fact, as
well as that the present rate of
taxation is a burden. Mr. Can¬
dler and Mr. Berner both have
told the people these things, but,
ns Mr. Atkinson showed, neither
of them offer any remedy for the
evil. Both say that while the tax
rate is unjust, there is no way of
increasing taxable values; every
institution in the state, every
piece of property bears its full
share of this burden, and so they
can oiler no means to
these taxable values, Both Can
dler and Berner also admit that
taxes cannot be materially reduced
without cutting down the appro
priations for veterans and for tin*
public school system, and both
say they will decline to interfere
with these two appropriations. So
it will be seen Mr. Candler and
Mr. Berner toll the people they
are “in a hole,” but they propose
to leave them there. Mr. Atkin¬
son agrees with Ins opponents as
to the unjustness of the taxes, but
he doesn’t stop there—he suggests
a remedy. He proposes to put a
tax on a class of property which
represents millions of dollars in
the state, and which up to date es¬
capes its share of the public bur¬
den—bonds, notes, etc.
Mr. Atkinson also took up the
( 4 art of letter writing” and criti¬
cised it, as applied to Mr. Can¬
dler, at length. He read from Mr.
Candler’s famous “epistle to the
Romans,” where the colonel
speaks in such unfavorable terms
of the “politicians—the men who
control, , ,, and , refers , to , his . ,.
dacy as the “popular uprising of
the common people.” This let
ter, the judge showed by its date,
written in February, 1808. He
read from letters written by
N ; r Candler to “the leading dem
of each,county, in which
lie virtually asks them if they can
vote their county for him, and
that upon their answer will
largely depend his candidacy.
This letter— 0,000 copies of it—
was written in December, 1807,
two months earlier than the letter
denouncing the “politicians—the
men who control,” and yet was
written to these very men, whom
Mr. Candler supposed could con¬
trol the votes of their county—
carried its vote in their vest pock
it, as it, were.
Mr. Atkinson further showed
that Mr. Candler had stated that
< ( he found himself a candidate for
governor without any solicitation
Oil his part,” and this after he had
written these (5,000 letters to the
“men who control,” and upon
whose replies his candidacy would
largely depend. He showed that
Mr. Candler had not taken the
pei >ple into his confidence—that
In* was making grand-stand plays
to t wo classes, each at the expense
of the other.
Mr. Atkinson made a logical,
impressive address which appealed
straight to the common sensp of
his hearers, and he was frequently
interrupted by applause, Ilia can
didacy is all the more benefitted
m Dodge county by his having
been among us and given us his
views personally.
WILL lit: A SUCCESS.
There can no longer be any
doubt, oven in the minds of the
most Optical, that the Eastman
June carnival will be a complete
success. Every department of the
work is moving along rapidly, and
the citizens who have subscribed
to the funds of the League, or are
going to do so, are earnestly re¬
quested to turn over their cash,
as the time has come when cash is
a necessity.
The League lias taken hold now
of this carnival project in no half¬
hearted way; those who are in
charge are thoroughly in earnest,
and the hearty support of (’very
citizen of town and county is
earnesty desired. It should bo
remembered that this carnival will
not directly benefit one-tenth of
the members of the League, and
this is especially true in the case
of those who are taking the most
active interest in it, so that their
work is purely unselfish and pa¬
triotic. No one should appreciate
this more than the merchants,
whom it will directly benefit, and
consequently they should be the
largest contributors to the fund
for carrying on the carnival.
Remember this when you are asked
f or a contribution,
It is to be hoped that the mer¬
chants who have promised to
furnish floats for the trades dis¬
play are studying plans for their
wagons The trades display will
be held on Wednesday afternoon
u f carnival week, when manv vis
itors will be here, including proba
blv two hundred teachers attend¬
ing the institute, and every float
should be designed by its owner to
not only advertise his own busi
j ness, but to show to the “stranger
within our gates” that Eastman
is well up in the march of comnaer
cial progress.
Joining 111 with the trades dis
play will be the parade of horse
men, and the special committee
men appointed by the League from
each district, and who have been
communicated with bv Chairman
Whiddon, are asked to be sure to
fill out the quota of men from
their district, ten 111 number, and
have them ready to report by noon
Wednesday, Juue 22d. A parade
of wheelmen will also join in the
procession, and riders from all
over the county, as well as everv
where else, are invited to join with
1
t he local wheelmen 111 the parade
The programme of exercises,
amusements, etc., for the whole
we ek is almost completed, and
will be announced officially in the
carnival and institute editon of
this paper, which will lie out on
June fnth.
The time now is not long fill",
and the most active work is ueces
sitiy , to accomplish _ I i the desired i . |
results in this carnival. Let every
one put their shoulder to the j
wheel and work with a will.
Certainly there can he no poli¬
tician in Dodge county who can
carry its vote for the candidate of
his choice. To vote is the prerog¬
ative of every male citizen who is
of age, and to cast that vote
the man of your choice is one of
the highest duties of American
citizenship.
On Monday, June 6th—one
week from next Monday—will be
held the primary in this county
for the democrat ic nominat ion for
governor. Let everyone go to t he
polls and see that his vote is reg¬
istered for the candidate of his :
choice, be t hat whom he may.
Cast your vote on the 6th day
of June for the man who repre¬
sents tin* best interests of the peo
pie. Whoever you may think
that man is, put in your ballot
for him.
Remember the mass meeting on
June 3d for the election of a new
democratic executive committee
for Dodge county.
