Sometimes I long for a lazy isle,
Ten thousand miles from home,
When the warm sun shines and the
blue skies smile,
And the milk white breakers foam—
A coral island bravely set
In the midst of the Southern sea
Away from the hurry and noise and
fret
Forever surrounding me!
For I tire of labor and care and fight,
And I weary of plan and scheme,
And ever and ever my thoughts take
flight,
To the island of my dream
And I fancy drowsing the whole day
long
In a hammock that gently swings—•
Away from the clamorous, toiling
throng,
Away from the swirl of things.
And yet I know in a little while,
When the first glad hours were
spent,
I’d sicken and tire of my lazy isle
And cease to be content!
I’d hear the call of the world’s great
game—
The battle with gold and men—
And I’d sail once more, with a heart
of flame,
Back to the game again!

SPECULATION ON
GOVERNOR'S RACE
WITH OORSEY IN
ATLANTA, Ga., May B.—Will the
feeling in the Frank case be sufficient)
to determine the result of the guberna
torial race?
Will Hugh Dorsey’s supposed polit
ical strength as the man who prose
cuted Leo M. Frank be offset by the
fact that he is one of the lawyers
engaged in the attempt of the Louis
ville & Nashville railroad to overthrow
the act of the Georgia legislature pro
hibiting the paralleling of the W
A line?
These and numerous other questions
bearing on various angles of the same
subject are being asked in Atlanta as
the result of Dorsey’s announcement
Sunday that he will make the race for
governor.
There is no doubt of the fact that
Dorsey made a favorable impression
on many people by the manner in
which he conducted the prosecution in
the notorious Frank case. It is not
questioned that Mr. Dorsey and his
advisers are counting upon this to
elect him governor.
Will these people be as enthusiastic
for Dorsey the gubernatorial candidate,
as they were for Dorsey, the prose
c.’ting attorney?
Assuming that they are and will be
on election day, will they be out
numbered by the people who feel that
the Frank case should not be resur
rected to furnish a gubernatorial
candidate with a platform. Thomas E.
Watson, of ‘The Jeffersonian,” will
support Dorsey, as a matter of course.
Will the Watson support win as
many votes for Dorsey as it will lose
him? "
If the Frank case were the only big
issue in Dorsey’s candidacy, there
would still be no end of speculation
in political circles as to whether this
issue will elect him or defeat him; but
coupled with the Frank issue is the
Louisville & Nashville railroad issue
and just at the present time ft is an
issue of dominating interest.
The Western & Atlantic railroad is
leased to the Nashville, Chattanooga &
St. Louis railroad, which is a subsi
diary of the Louisville & Nashville.
The lease expires in 1919. The Louis
ville & Nashville is tired of depending
upon a lease of the state road for its
line from Chattanooga to Atlanta, and
acocrdingly has made up’ its mind to
either parallel the state road or buy
the state road. In order to prevent a
parallel, the Georgia legislature last
year passed a special act prohibiting
the secretary of state from issuing a
charter for a parallel line. The Louis
ville & Nashville is now undertaking
to compel by court decree, the granting
of a charter for a parallel line in spite
of this act, and in this proceedure
w hich is pending before the supreme
court, the Louisville & Nashville is
represented by Dorsey, Brewster,
Howell & Heyman, of which Hugh

Dorsey is the ranking member, and by

If Dorsey, at present a member of
the legal firm engaged to represent the
interests of the Louisville & Nashville,
i.-. elected governor, he will be a
member of the commission created by
the legislature to re-lease the i
W’estern & Atlantic railroad.
Will this fact be a help or a hind
rance to Dorsey in his campaign?
