In Race for Governor

governor, J. Randolph Anderson of Sa- the state that is pressing upon us.
SEES AN END OF
POLITICAL STRIFE.
"We have had a surfeit of political
strife. Let us now /for a while de
vote ourselves to measures for
bringing the sunshine of prosperity
to all the various business activities
of the state and into the homes and
lives of her individual citizens. 1
will endeavor to Invite your atten
tion to those matters more in detail
during the progress of the campaign.
My long service in the house and
senate, since 1905, has made me famil
iar with the affairs and needs of the
state and has (jualitled mo to be of
service to you as Governor.
“Circumstances have arisen under
which, by operation of law, the duty
may be devolved upon me of serving
as Acting Governor for some purt of
the current term. This would re
quire me to leave my home and sur
render my profession und all business
connections. Such a contingency nat
urally prompts me to seek election
for the next regular term and gives
me, I trust, some personal claim to
ask for It, so that 1 may at least be
allowed to remain In office long enough
to be given a fair trial both as to my
desire and as to my ability to serve
you well.
PROHIBITION QUESTION
ALREADY SETTLED.
"Some Inquiry has been made as to
how far the prohibition question may
be involved In my candidacy. 1 wish
to state that it Is not Involved at all.
Prohibition should no longer be con
sidered u political issue in Georgia. It
has become a matter of established
law, and I think most or the prohibi
tion loaders now agree that the law is
sufllcient and that continued political
agitation of the- subject is no longer
needed, and would be unwise. No sub
stantial demand exists anywhere in
Georgia for Its repeal, and it should
be regarded as an issue that is now
settled and behind us.
"If f am elected, it will be my duty
to regard and treat the prohibition
van nab, lias received the most encour
ngtng assurances of support from prae
tically every section of the state,
Mr. Anderson's candidacy has met
with enthusiastic reception in Nortli
Georgia, where he has a farm at Ma
rietta, upon which he spends much of
Ills time, as well as in the Southern
section where he lives. If early Indi
cations in the campaign mean any
thing, Mr. Anderson already seems to
be running a winning race.
Many of the newspapers of the state
are already actively supporting him
and others have volunteered to do so.
MR. ANDERSON’S
ANNOUNCEMENT.
In Ills formal announcement of Ills
candidacy for governor, Mr. Anderson
says:
"Savannah, Ga„ April 15, 1914.
"To the People of Georgia:
"I beg leave to announce myself as
a candidate for the Governorship,
subject to the regulations of the next
general primary.
“In asking to be entrusted with what
I consider to be the htghest honor in
the gift of our people, 1 am glad to
feel that my candidacy involves no
factional issues uiid should nrouse no
factional spirit. The spirit of fac
tionalism has happily about died
away in Georgia, and in the state, as
in the nation, we Democrats are lined
up with practically unbroken ranks in
support of the great measures our
party la taking for the common good.
1 am able therefore to come before you
simply ns a Georgian and a Democrat,
who aspires to devote his best ener
gies and talents to the welfare, and
upbuilding of his native state.
"Our material growth during the
past three decades has been so rapid
and so great that In some respects
we have outgrown the provisions
made by our laws, and In conse
quence the state and its Institutions
are in some directions being ham
pered and held back. Georgia’s great
need today is that her people should
have a period of political rest In
which to have the time and oppor
and efforts upon a thorough over-
to apply ourselves for a time to put-
our bouse and affairs in order,
