SLATON IS GRATEFUL I
AN!) WITHOUT REGRETS
Leaves Final Result in the
Hands of His Friends
In Convention.
Atlanta. Aug. 20.-Governor
Slaton gave out the following
statement today:
“I am grateful for the earnest
support of my friends, and. of
course, appreciate the continued
confidence shown by my home
county.
"Four candidates centered
their fire on me and I replied in
only one political speech, deliv
ered the night before the elec
tion in Columbus. The remain
der of my speeches were in ad
vocacy of a sound financial sys
tem for the state.
"Without shirking any respon
sibility, I assumed the full bur
don of the attack on a patriotic
law that was essential to the
welfare of Georgia.
"1 have never said nor done
anything during the campaign
which I regret, and I have up
held the dignity of the high office
I occupy.
I leave the final result in the
hands of my friends in the con
vention."
Hope of the World.
We are in position of advan
tage because of the work that
has been done in America during
the past one hundred years. I'ut
if the assailants of Mr. Wilson
had had their way, we would
have lost all of these natural ad
vantages, and would ourselves
have been at war with Mexico,
demanding all of the powder and
guns and ships and steel and
clothing and food that we could
produce, while our soldiers were
marching in ever-lessening num
bers from one battlefield to an
ot her.
We are in a condition to avail
ourselves of this opportunity of
a century because we have re
formed our tariff and reconstruct
ed our financial system.
We are the hope of the world
in a period of almost universal
warfare. —Louisville Post.
The American Method.
Not long ago some Europeans
were finding fault with the Uni
ted States because it did not take
more active steps in dealing with
Mexico, active steps meaning es-j
sentially sending troops across
the border to preserve order.
There are different kinds of
international diplomacy. The
American kind as carried out by
President Wilson has saved this
country from a long, costly and
appalling war with a neighbor
ing nation. European diplomacy
has failed to prevent one war,
which will be no slight one, and
it may not be able to prevent a
vastly greater one.
Judging them by their results,
we prefer the American method.
Schenectady Gazette.
Forcing Progress On Us.
The Manufacturers’ Record in
an optimistic editorial on the fu
ture, among other things says:
"The conditions which exist in
Europe will literally compel a de
velopment here whenever the
war is ended far greater than we
have seen in the past. This war
will put the United States ahead
fifty years in its domination of
the finance and commerce of the :
world and throw Europe back fif
ty years. Within twelve months '
after the war has ended, the
country will hold a more domi- ]
noting position in the tinanceand i
commerce of the world than it
could have hold in fifty years of 1
peace. Sad as it may be that '
our progress will be built on the ,
wreck and ruin of material things
and on the death of millions of <
men and the wastage of billions I
of wealth in Europe, nevevthe- j
less, this is the opportunity which i
the people of Europe are forcing j
upon us." *
