His popular vote was 71,661, about

and more than one-third of the total
votes cast in the State although
there were fourteen candidates in

He was appointed, and afterwards

Hodges.
He has devoted himself earnestly
and faithfully to the duties of the
office and has made good.
He is now serving an unexpired
term. and. as a faithful official, he

“You have made an ecieffint

“Your services have proven most

TO BE REMEMBERED
In the storm of a three-cornered race for the U. S. Senate—
In the roar of the battle between four men for the Governor’s chair—
The welfare of the people of Georgia and the importance of the Legisla
ture should be remembered at the polls Wednesday.
The men elected to the Legislature will have before them the. Water Power
Mills. Those Bills mean to the people of Georgia more than any other measure
that has been before the state in years.
The defeat of the Water Power Bills in the last Legislature was accom
plished by the following men—
In the Lobby, Messrs, Clayt Robson and Roland Ellis—
In the House, Messrs. John Y. Smith of Fulton, Alex Lawrence of Chatham,
Neill and Wohlwender of Muscogee—
In the Senate. Messrs. Nix, Adams, Barrett, Bell, Biasingame, Bowden,
Bussey, Calhoun, Clements, Cureton, Dixon, Ennis, Glenn, Hogg Keene Kirk
land, Maynard, Neidlinger, Olive (not the President of the Senate), Pruett,
Reece, Rice, Steed, Veazey, Vickery and Wilkinson.
Georgia is bound and helpless in the hands of the Power Companies for
another year as the result of the work of these men.
) ou should remember this when you vote next Wednesday.
THE MUNICIPAL LEAGUE OF GEORGIA.
A CAUSE FOR ALARM
Short of light— Short of power—
Short of coal— Short of labor—
With thousands of acres swept bare of crops and soil, and villages, towns
and cities harried by annual floods—
Georgia on Wednesday will elect the members of the next General
Assembly. The votes of the men chosen by you will affect the welfare and
happiness of 3,000,000 Georgians. Every home in the State will be touched
by their acts.
Do the men for whom you plan to vote know the needs of those homes?
Do they believe in a Georgia free to help her people or in a State shackled
and unable to use her limitless powers?
Do you know that in addition to the increasing famine for coal and
power, the shortage of labor, and the horror of floods, the frightful shadow
of a famine for food threatens your State?
Commissioner of Agriculture J. J. Brown in his report for 1919 says:
“There exists today a real cause for alarm on account of the threatened
world-wide food and feed famine. Urban population is increasing while the
rural population is either remaining the same or decreasing. The total popu
lation of Georgia is rapidly increasing. This being the case there is cause for
alarm so far as Georgia is concerned in producing food for man and beast for
home consumption.
Our laborers have left the farm and gone into industrial and public work
by the hundreds of thousands.”
The labor of the farmer’s wife is not enough.
While her more fortunate sister may be acquiring a permanent Marcel
wave in her hair, this weary woman may put a permanent crook in her back
and adorn her finger, not with rings, but with knotted knuckles by milking,
churning, drawing water, washing clothes, splitting and carrying wood and
cooking throughout the day, and blind her eyes by night driving with tired
feet beneath a smoking light the sewing machine to clothe husband, herself
and boys and girls—
Her children may sow. plow and reap the hours away when they should
be at their books and play—
But her sacrifice, precious, though inexcusable, in the sight of God, will
not suffice to pay for her broken body and the stunted minds of those who
name her mother.
Something more is needed to supply 3,000,000 Georgians with food
and clothes.
THE SOIL OF GEORGIA
When we throw away annually in our undeveloped water powei the
equivalent of the labor of 25,800,200 men, over twice the total negro popu
lation of the United States, and the equal of 21,528,500 tons of coal worth
at $ 1 0.00 a ton, $2 1 5,285,000, we waste more than the lives of our women
and children.
It is our soil.
Senator John K. Shields, speaking in the United States Senate, said:
“The production of our lands is not keeping pace with the increase of our
population. We have exhausted much of the virgin fertility of our soil and it is
necessary that the plant food which we have been constantly taking from our
fields for more than a century be replenished. This can only be done by fertil
izers containing the well-known elements necessary for plant life. The coun
tries of Europe use more than double the quantity of fertilizer per acre used in
this country, and their lands produce crops about double those ours produce
with the same labor.
“The American farmer is fully aware of the necessity of fertilizing his
land, but the cost of fertilizers is almost prohibitory! in sufficient* quantities
“The essential constituent elements of a complete fertilizer are nitrogen,
.or ammonia, phosphoric acid and potash, the relatives proportions of these ele
ments being nitrogen 40 per cent, phosphoric acid 35 per cent and potash 20
per cent. It is estimated that the nitrogenous materials used in fertilizers cost
the farmers about $75,000,000 in 1913, and it has doubtless been more during
the past two years because the price of Chilean saltpeter has advanced ”
STRIKE OFF THE SHACKLES
In 1910-1 the farmers of Georgia used 1,332,470 tons of fertilizer
In 1918 they used only 978,175 tons, in 1919, 990,919 tons.
With the demand for food and clothes increasing, why has the use of fertilizer
in Georgia decreased?
The answer is the increased cost. The cost of the 990,919 tons of fertilizer
19/3 19 WOU,d be OVer s l3 ' ooo ’ ooo more than the cost of the 1,120,693 tons used in
} h „ e Un ni ? d St / teS De P art z me 4 nt of Agriculture estimates that Georgia farmers
used 32,700 tons of ammonia (nitrogen) in 1919. At the price prevailing in 1910 ?
19 cents a pound, this would have cost $10,222,890.20. At the 1919 price 45 ceJts a
increase of g ’ m3Ving Was $24,212,061.00 a*
- Creighton ’of the Department of Chemistry in Swarthmore College, Pennsylvan
ia says in 1919 that anhydrous ammonia can be gatahered by electricity from the
atmosphere about us at a cost of slightly less than 4 cents a pound That is to at
approximately one-ninth the present cost of nitrogen to the farmers of Georgia
Georgia’s wheat crop in 1918 was 3,631,000 bushels, valued at $9 658 000 ‘
„ k°T e r f -° ur r acres produced 10 2 bushel, of wheat. An acre in Belg’ium’ produces
37 bushels, m Germany 31 bushels. The difference is attributed to the use of ni
trogen.
The possibility of multiplying by the use of nitrogen a crop valued at $9,658 000
by three and dividing the cost of a fertilizer ingredient amounting to $24 212 061 00
by nine is at least worth investigation. The value of the crop would become S2B
974,000, while the cost of the fertilizer would be cut to $2,690,229
Moreover, our corn, sorghum, sweet potatoes, sugar cane, tobacco and cot
ton all need nitrogen and respond to its wonderful touch.
God has placed at our disposal a supply of nitrogen more limitless than our
water powers. Over every square mile of land in Georgia, 20,000,000 tons of nitro
gen are in the atmosphere. The harnessing of our waterpowers will supply electricity
to gather the nitrogen needed by our soil.
Do the men for whom you plan to vote Wednesday consider such facts?
We should send to the Legislature not petty politicians and seekers for self
and pelf to play political games, but men with vision, who understand the needs of
Georgia and her people, to work for their welfare.
The flood situation must be controlled
Light, heat and power at prices within the reach of our people must be sup
plied—
The problems of farm, village and city life are upon us—
If the slate of Georgia is to progress and drive away the shadows, the shackles
holding Georgia while corporations exploit and waste her wealth, must be removed.
Men to do this should be put in office.
THE STATE SHOULD ACT
