Dear Free Press:
This week marks the opening of
Ihe great Quadrennial convention
of the.Republican party to nominate
candidates lor president ad vice-
president of the United States.
When tlie party met four years ago
there was an unfortunate division
that caused their defeat at the reg
ular November election, as they
were nearly equally divided. So
Woodrow Wilson, who, by Bryan’s
treason, was finally nominated over
Clark by the Democrats, wore eas
ily elected at the November elec
tion. Then the next week the Dem
ocrats will meet and, of course,
will nominate Wilson again. Then
will come the usual orating and the
American people will select their
next president. Some things that
Wilson has done, 1 think, will tend
to make him unpopular with his
people. Some of his appointments
such as Brandies and Burleson
—strikes me very adversely. His
record, too, in the matters with the
Mexicans and with the Germans and
other European nations, is a little
shaky, it seems to me, and not at
all calculated to add to his popu
larity. But his managing to thus
fur keep out of much of a war, it
seems, is very fortunate for all our
people. He lias no business med
dling with Europe either in making
war or in making peace. He and
his people should stay at home and
“spen half of their time attending
to their own business and the other
half in letting other people’s bust-
nesss alone.” We ought to either
compel our meddling speculators
an pleasure seeking world-ramb
lers to stay at home, or at least, not
to involve us in the consequences
of their roamings. War is a seri
ously injurious misfortune and
should he avoided when it can hon
orably he done. Congress should
have voted to stop this perilous
roaming when the matter was con
sidered, hut Wilson was too much
fort hem. If the Republican again
equally divide, Wilson will again
be elected, otherwise he will, 1
think, be defeated. But we shall see
what we shall see. 1 hope the par
ty will he victorious that does most
for all the people and most for the
general good. My political plat
form and my religious creed is to
make the world and its people here
on earth now, better and happier
That is what we should live for
and if need be, die for, in the onin-
ion of J. W. B.
FOR REPRESENTATIVE
1 hereby announce my candidacy
to represent Carroll county in the
next general assembly, subject to
the action of the voters in the pri
mary September 12th, and respect
fully solicit your support and in
fluence. B. L. EMBRY.

a prominent figure. If so, he should
fail, for Georgia wants no more
