EDITORIAL.
fT would appear to be a little early
yet io discuss state politics as re
gard: the more or less inconspicuous
places, but apparently taking time by I
the forelock, the Pelham Journal
fires the opening gun in the race for
member of the state railway c.immis
rion 'n putting forward the name of
Dr. 0. 11. Bush of that city to suc
ceed J. A. Perry, of Gainesville, me
expiration of whose term will be fill
ed in the state primary next August.
The fact that the railway commission
has been in hot water much of the
time for the last year or two because
of its promulgation of increased pub
lic utility rates, and ; :e consequent
angering of the public, the race for
the state railway commission may be
the center of a hot campaign next
year, and the putting forward of the
■ ame of the Pelham man i: therefore
<f at lea f passing interest. Say t' <•
Pelham Journal:
♦ s s
DR. 0. B. Bush, of this city, i 1 a
robable candidate for the of
fice if railroad commission, i t< m<-
cecd Commisioher -I- A. Perry, ol
Gainesville. While Dr. Bu h he.
made no definite announcement of
his intentions it is known that he h
' seriously considering ent'ring 1 1
I race at the proper time. Dr. Bush
realizes that an announcement of his
candidacy at this time would bo pre
mature as the Democratic primpry
will not be held before August. How
ever. he has received numbers of let
ters from all parts of the state urg
ing him to make the race against
either Commissioner Murphy Candler
of Atlanta, or Commissioner Perry
of Gainesville, whose terms expire
Pec. 1, 1923 and both of whom must
seek re-election in the next Demo
eratic primary. He has fully decided
that s'bauld he enter it would he
against Mr. Perry.
Much dissatisfaction among the
voters of the state has developed
against members of the present com
mission, with’ the single exception
of John T.Bouluillet , of Macon. A
great deal of opposition to present
members of the railroad commission
was brought about by recent decis
ions of the commission in allowing
the Southern Bell Telephone and
Telegraph company a raise in rates
and granting the Georgia Railway
and Power company, of Atlanta, the
right to charge a higher rate for gas.
The commission more recently at
tempted to allay some of the opposi
tion in Fulton county by ordering the
gas company to lower their charges
from the previous high rate allowed
them bv the commission, but iudgintr
from the letters received bv Dr. Rush
fi-nm different counties of the state,
this one thing has served ‘o make Do
voters more determined than ever to
defeat those members of Ihycmn
mission responsible for the increases
Fill. Bush has been active in state
' U politics for a number of years
having served as a member of the
lower house of the general assembly
for two terms. He represented Mil
ler county during the year of L'.HIO
-1901, seme years later moving to
Mitchell county and was elected to
the house from this county in 1918,
serving during the years of l‘Ji‘J-2%
voluntarily retiring after this service.
He was a member of t’.'e State Demo
cratic Executive Committee during
the years 1916-20. He is a graduate
of the Augusta Medical college and
is well qualified to fill the office. He
is extensively acquainted throughout
the state and it is certa’n ’hat should
he definitely decide to enter the race
that he will receive strong support
• from all parts of the state.
Hr. Bus’! in discussing his prob
able candidacy called attention to the
fact that South Georgia has no repre
sentation on the Railroad commission,
and as for that matter has never bad.
The present commission is composed
of two members from Northeast
Georgia, one from. Middle Georgia
and the other two reside in North
Georgia. He feels, as does many oth
er citizens of this section of the state,
that South Georgia is entitled to al
least one commissioner, not only from
a standpoint of protecting its inter
ests, but from a standpoint of fair-1
ness and justice to all sections of the
state.
Dr. Bush feels that if he can se
cure the support of the voters ■ f
• South Georgia, and confidentlv be
lieves he can. that the voters of o
er sections of the state will readily
assume that South Georgia is entitled
to at least one representative on the
(cmmissicn and that it Would be com
rarativ<dy easy to secure the nomina
tion. It is his intention at .an earlv
date to make known v, ether he v.HI
•reek the nomination or not.

And the Captain treated me
