Home men get a reputation on very

WHY AN ATLANTA MAM?
The News and Bun has often lx»n
Importuned by the merchants and
other business men of Griffin to write
vigorous articles against tije puniei-
ous practice of so many of our citi¬
zens who go to Atlanta for the very
things that they could as well secure
at home. It was then said with just
indignation that Atlanta was sapping
the life out of Griffin— that she exst-
ed at tiro expense of the rest of the
State, while regarding herself as the
whole thing. We have always read¬
ily complied with such requests and
have periodically written articles
along that line that have been full of
reason if not so full ot effect.
Now we want to ask those same
merchants and business jneii why
they should go to Atlanta for a can¬
didate for governor in this campaign
when there is just as good, if not a
great deal better, material available
for such a purpose asking ior their
support. Especially is this true
when it lias been daily and weekly
shown that both of the Atlanta can¬
didates are running on a purely At¬
lanta platform, and one that it car¬
ried out will redound to tlie advant¬
age of Atlanta only at the expense
of the rest of the State.
There is only one issue in the cam¬
paign so far as Atlanta and the two
Atlanta candidates are concerned,and
that is the issue of better freight rates
Jbr Atlanta, that will give Atlanta an
advantage over every competitor
rates that have been three
tasked for by the Atlanta
Bureau and three times refused
the State commissioners as
ble and unjust For that reason
lanta has put forward the attorney
the Atlanta Freight Bureau,
Smith, who has for over a year
to make the voters believe that
Is for the good of Atlanta is the
for the rest of the State. And
chief boast of Atlanta’s other
ate, Clark Howell, Is that he paid
first $100 toward the hire of
Smith for tlie purpose of
those specail rates for Atlanta.
These things are plainer than

Is bein# put lorward tw the black
sbiehl behind which to hide them
from those who might otherwise see
too plainly the shining face of truth
behind the traiwparent evasions ol
the two Atlanta candidates. Yet
there be those in Griffin who attempt
to say tliut we must vote for one or
the other of the two Atlanta candid¬
ates, though there are other and hon-
ester men In the field. Much an
tempt does not look to the welfare
Griffin as we have been taught to be¬
lieve it by some of those same sup¬
porters of an Atlanta candidate.
H0B80IT OH THE WBOHG B0ENT-
Apparently ex-Capt. and Congress¬
man-elect Richmond P. Hobson
the only mau in America who
that war with Japan will be the
come of the shooting of a few
ese seal poachers in the Aleutian
lands. This is not surprising. It
the ex-captain’s business to scent
and ills mission on earth to waste
eloquence In telling a heedless
eration that it is the manifest
tiny ot this republic to preserve
peace among tire nations by
at once a navy big enough to
ail creation.” He finds in the
ing incident a pretext for
tlie possibilities of war with
and for pointing out the
of such struggle, which would !«,
his opinion, the loss of the
islands and the Philippines.
There is nothing new in this.
miral Dewey himself was quoted
year or two ago to the effect that
could not hold the Philippines
Japan, but he had no more idea
have most people that we
ever have. Japan’s martial front
now turned westward toward
and not eastward toward America.
She could not afford to make war
us, even were she spoiling for a fight,
and even if this were the case
ally, Great Britain, would
temper her cockiness with discretion.
When Mr. Hobson takes his seat
in congress It Is to lie hoped that
mental horizon will be so widened as
to enable him to see more than
thing and so perceive that while
United States has much to fear from
Japan it is not war nor anything
to lead to war, and that the danger
greater than any which threatens us
from any European country. The
United States must begin to prepare
for a commercial struggle with Ja¬
pan; for it is trade competition and
not war which this country has to
tear, and Mr. Hobson might well
apply his youthful enthusiasm in
telling us what we shall do to prepare
ourselves for it. The ex-captain is
on the wrong scent.

CONGRESSMAN BRANTLEY ON DISFRANCHISEMENT.
The address delivered by Congressman Brantley, of the
Eleventh District, at Offerman, Ga., on Saturday, August
4, is attracting widespread attention. He began by paying
eloquent tribute to the Democratic party of the State and
nation. After showing the work that the party has
accomplished nationally and predicting with confidence tha t
it would soon be called upon to administer the affairs of the
nation, Congressman Brantley entered into a discussion of
current issues during which he effectively exploded the dis-
francliisement issue.
His views are well advised and will be of intense interest.
The Congressman said: The disfranchisement issue is not
before the people this .year. No matter how you vote you
don’t settle it. You don’t help or retard it. It has only
been injected into the oampaign to drive voters from one
man to another. Before an amendment can be made to the
Constitution the matter must be submitted to a vote by the
people. The legislature that is to be elected next October
may or may not submit the proposition.
“Three-fourths of the members of the legislature have
been nominated np to the present time and their nomination
is equivalent to an election. They will act regardless of the
governor who is elected. The governor has not a vote in
this matter; the legislature has. Before we citizens vote on
the question we want to know what the amendment is.
want to know how It is to he done. I want to know the ex¬
act language of the proposition before I vote for it.
“I want to know and see whether I can consistently vote
for It, It is the duty of every one to investigate; to-see what
is best for the white and blaok alike for the State. There is
nothing this year that we can do in regard to it, It is a
serious matter, and should be considered separately and
apart from other politics. If the proposition is good it
should not be defeated because of the unpopularity of some
man who advocates, nor should it be adopted because of the
personal popularity of some men who champion it,”
Mr. Brantley presented in detail the constitutions and
laws of Alabama, Louisiana, North Carolina, Virginia and
South Carolina showing who can and who cannot vote
under those laws.
JEROME FOR GOVERNOR.
District Attorney to Make Race If th*
Party Issues a Cali.
New York, Aug. 14.—JoHn E. Henne-
oerry, chief clerk In District Attorney
Jeropie’g office and manager of Mr.
Jerome's campaign, gave out as hls be¬
lief that Mr, Jerome would accept
the nomination fur governor on the
Democratic ticket If there was a strong
demand for his nomination.
Mr. Henueberry shortly after he^ar-
rlved in town from Saratoga, where
he had been spending his vacation,
said:
"In Die last few days there has ap¬
peared In various parts of the state
a strong sentiment in favor of Mr.
Jerome as a, candidate of the Demo¬
cratic state convention.
“Several men prominent In the Dem¬
ocratic party have communicated with
Mr. Jerome recently and urged him
to consider the nomination. I have
not seen Hr. Jerome in several days,
but I am satisfied that if there Is a
demand for hint he will make the run
for governor on the Democratic tick¬
et. Be will look upon it £8 a duty
which, as a Democrat, he cannot dis¬
regard.”
Mr. Heuneberry added that he had
come to town in response to a tele¬
phonic communication from four Dem¬
ocratic leaders with whom he would
have a conference shortly.
