Washington, D. C., Feb. 18—
Georgia political prophets in
Washington who were predicting
a month ago that the 'coming
elections in the state would be
the quietest in years have utter
ly reversed their forecasts since
the death of Senator Bacon. The
majority of them believe that on
the contrary the senatorial races
will be the hottest Georgia has
had in years.
Statements heretofore that
Senator Hoke Smith would not
have opposition for re-election;
that Gov. John M. Slaton would
take a second term as governor
without a contest, and that for
mer Gov. Joseph • M. Brown
remain in retirement in Marietta
have been recalled in the most
positive terms. Opinion now has
it that Senator Smith will be op
posed; that Gov. Slaton and for
mer Gov. Jospph M. Brown
will run for the Senate and that,
the governorship is something
about which no man dare predict
All predictions just now hang
on the action of Gov. Slaton in
appointing a man to fill the va
cancy until next October. Prob
abilities have been harrowed
down by forecasters this far
away to two, either Editor Clark
Howell will be named or the ap
pointee will be a man from South
Georgia, Col. W. S. West, Ran
dolph Anderson, three or four,
from Savannah and otheis have
been mentioned.
If Clark Howell is named Gov.
Slaton will gain the Support of
one big morning newspaper, in
all probability a second and pos
sibly a third. He will have risk
ed keen dissatisfaction in South
Georgia, which has lost its sena
tor and has not had a governor
since the memory of its oldest
inhabitant. "War” might be
averted by selecting a candidate
tor governor from that section.
The danger would be the entry of
Representative Hardwick into
the senatorial race as a South
Georgia candidate.
It is believed that no matter
how the situation turns out Mr.
Hardwick will be a candidate..
The report here is that.he is
"considering” it. Some of the
members of the delegation put
him. down as being sure to run.
Will Celebrate Washington’s
Birthday
Thursday, Feb. 26, beginning
at 7 o’clock, Chason school will
give a Washington program fol
lowed by’ a supper. Oysters and
ambrosia will be served in one
room, and we will also have
fruits and boxes to sell.
Come and tell your friends and
we will certainly give you a warm
welcome.
I. C. VEEN
FOR 0. S. SENATE
We see that the
Moultrie and other
people of
Southeast
Ga., towns are urging Gov. Sla
ton to appoint Hon., W. C. Ve-
reon to fill the ad interium term
of Senator Bacon.
As Atlanta has one U. S. Sen
ator. Had Hon. J. M. Terrell
as senator for awhile, has the
Governor and several Appellate
and Supreme court judges, we
think South Ga. should be con
sidered. especially when a man
of the character and qualifica
tions of W. C. Vereen is pre
sented.-

TWELVE GOOD REASONS
Those who have known him the longest and the best endorse his candi lacy. This alone is proof sufficent he
is worthy of the support of ALL the people.
He will make Grady County a Genuine Sheriff. I
He will give the office a Business Like Administration.
The Sheriff should keep accurate books of accounts t< uching the many sums of money belonging to others
that pass through his hands. Cars? can and will do it.
Hundreds and hundreds of important papers are handled by the Sheriff every year. When you ask to see one
in which you are interested the Sheriff should know just where to lay his hands on it. Carr will do it ^without
having you wait. That is the way he takes care of things.
“He will have a place for everything, and have everything in its place."
.He will be courteous to all alike, and will live up to his oath and to the Trust of the people.
To him a man is a man; and the rich will get no favors overs the poor.
He is not the candidate of any “Ring” or “Click’’ and no personal or political influence of any man or set will lead him around if
he is elected. He will be the officer of all the people in truth as well as in name.
A majority of the people in his District, in writing, requested him tp run, before he annouced. They ought to know whether he i s
worthy or not. n
11 A few of those who oppose him and who know him but slightly, claim that he is over-bearing, but those who know him best, say
that he makes a negro know his place, and that is all there is to the “over-bearing’’ claim.
12 Bill Carr is a man of 50 years of age, and no one that knows him says any harm of him. He must, therefore, be all right.
For the foregoing reasons his neighbors and his friends throughout the County appeal to
you to support him-TRY HIM. ^ |
