The U. S. Senatorship
FOR AND AGAINST
JOHN M. SLATON does not stand for
Everything and anything, just to catch votes.
Things that 1 ' sound good, but which are unobtain
able.
False measures that may look good on the surface
but are dangerous at bottom.
The demands of those who are impatient to have
the world made perfect in a day.
Impracticable proposals, no matter how well-in
tentioned.
The making .of promises which he knows he-cannot
keep.
Getting into office by false means in the hope that
the people will forget.
EXAMINE THE RECORD.
JOHN M. SLATON does stand for
The fundamental principles of Democracy,
Progressive methods as against impracticable radi
calism. |
The oppressed, and against the oppressor.
Conservatism that makes' result producing pro
gress.
The supremacy of the white race and adequate
means for its protection.
Economy in government expenditures.
An equitable distribution of taxation, placing the
burdens on those most able to bear them, and
who enjoy most the benefits of Government.
He thinks the government should assist agricul
ture, the source of all wealth, as much as pos
sible. He will fight for a rural credit system.
JOHN M. SLATON stands for the practicable, the
obtainable, the sensible, the logical, the sane, and
the progressive in government.

ALFRED G. NEWELL, Chairman I. A. MORROW, Secretary
‘‘SEND SLATON TO THE SENATE.”
N. B. SLATON, as president of the State Senate, cast the de-
ciding vote for the income tax amendment. SLATON brought
about the passage of Georgia’s inheritance tax law.
SLATON reduced the expenditures of the State of Georgia
the first time in forty years. SLATON staked his political
life on saving the State from disgrace of repudiation—and
saved it.
Thu Macon News' Atlanta cor
respondent had the following to
say concerning Hon. Roscop
Luke and his prospects in last
Sunday’s News:
"If Hon. Roscoe Luke, of
Thomasville, fails to secure the
appointment as district attorney
for the southern district of Geor
gia to succeed Hon, Alex Aker-
man, it is pretty well understood
among his friends that he wil
again enter the race for congress
in the* second district, making
the race against Congressman
Frank Park. Mr. Luke is at
present in Washington where ii
is understood the appointmenl
will be decided early next week.
While Mr. Luke’s chances ar<
said to be fairly good, there arc
those who believe Attorney John
Smith, of Macon, is in the lead,
and others think the position will
go to Hon. Robert L. Berner of
Macon. Mr. Luke is very strong
ly endorsed and his friends are
hoping he will land, but if he
fails the people down' in the
Second may look for another
congressional race with a good
deal of ginger in it.”
It is practically certain thai
this year the people of Georgia
will vote on a cors itutional
amendment which provides for
the abolition of the office of treas
urer in all of the counties of the
state. The House has passed a
resolution by a vote cf 154 to 6,
a vote so overwhelmingly one
sided that it reflects the general
sentiment among the people.
That the Senate will pass the re
solution also is assured.
Although less than a year has
passed since the tax equalization
law went into effect and although
complete reports have been made
from only a few of the counties,
already hundreds of thousands
of acres of land have been found
in Georgia upon which no tax
returns were made. Already
within less than twelve months
the books in the office of Judge
John C. Hart, tax state commis
sioner, indicate that Georgia’s
taxable values will show an in
crease of between $125,000,000
and $150,000,000. When the
full returns are in it may be safe
to estimate that the increase of
taxable values, because of hun
dreds of thousands of acres of
land being made to pay then-
just proportion ot taxes, will
reach the sum of $200,000,000.
For every $100,000,000 there will
come into the state treasury
$500,000 Judge Hart now es
timates that the increase in the
state’s income may soon be aug
mented by about S750.000.

with the Lodreat Sylvester in
Worth county n n tt Wednes
day. There about thirty lodges

tained this body but this meeting
promises to be the most interest
ing in the history of the Conven
tion. Several Masons from
Cairo and Grady county will lik
ely attend this convention.
When a man tells you that the
big city weekly is worth more
than your home paper, ask him
how much the big city paper has
ever done for your locality; if it
had ever spoken a good word for
it; if it had ever mentioned what
he and you were doing to im
prove the condition; if it had
ever noticed him or his friend
when sick or dying—in short, if
all his dealings with the metro
politan weekly have not been en
tirely one sided, in which his
dollar only was recognized by
the other party, while he and all
his individual interest were com
pletely ignored—Exchange.

Anderson Alone, Offers
A Progressive Platform
J. Randolph Anderson of Savannah is the only candidate
in the race for governor who has offered the voters of the
state a substantially constructive and progressive platform.
His committee submits to the voters substantial reasons
why he should be elected, rather than reasons why others
should not be.
Long legislative service, including the presidency of the
state senate the past two sessions, has not only familiarized
him with state conditions, but has brought him into inti
mate touch with public needs in all their phases. He has,
accordingly, outlined a program which must appeal strong
ly to the voter who has Georgia’s progress and advancement
at heart.
Extension of the powers of the railroad commission so
as to protect the people in their dealings with all corpora
tions, and the elimination of a lpt of Georgia's unnecessary
politics, aiv among the features which appeal strongly to
the progressive voter.
Mr. Anderson has not had the opportunity of visiting all
the counties of the state, and as he is detained in Atlanta
by his duties ns president of the senate, his campaign com
mittee takes this method of presenting briefly his plat
form principles to the voters of the state.
In setting forth the principles for which he stands, and
the enactment of which he will urge, Mr. Anderson says:
—The functions of the railroad commission should be en
larged and it should be made a state corporation commis
sion.
—Georgia needs a careful and economical administration of
her finances, held within the limits of her income.
—The Western and Atlantic Railroad should be leased so
as to bring the maximum return to the state, and to pro
tect the counties and towns upon the line in the matter
of taxes.
—Georgia should have a state highway commission lo co
operate with the counties in the improvement of public
roads.
—Better and stronger laws should be enacted for the ad
vancement of Georgia’s educational system and the pro
tection of her teachers.
—He does not favor the leasing of the Western and At
lantic Railroad by the Seaboard, because it would invite
paralleling by the L. and N. and thus endanger the
state’s property.
—Georgia needs an adequate system for the collection
and recording of her vital statistics.
—The drainage of Georgia’s overflow and swamp lands is
an important and much needed state development.
—A safe system of rural credits should be established for
the advancement of agriculture, to which an effective
system of land title registration should be provided as a
preliminary.
—The equal and impartial enforcement of all the laws is
the duty of every public official.
—The Georgia legislature should meet only once every
two years.
—The governor should be elected only once every four years
and permitted to serve only one term.
—The terms of office of all statehouse and all county offi
cers should be made four years, thus reducing our poli
tics one-half.
