Standing Of
The Contestants
BY CAMILLA JURIST
S^ys He is Willing to Meet
Park or Any of His
Friends on Stump
Tifton, Ga.,June 12. There will
be a “hot” campaign in the second
congressional district this summer
- if Judge Frank Park follows the
pace set by Judge E.E. Cox, in the
opening speech of his campaign at
Tifton Saturday afternoon Judge
Cox spoke for nearly two hours to
an audience that filled the auditor
ium of Tift county court house.
The major part of his speech was
devoted to. Judge Park’s record in
congress, with especial reference to
his building up an organization by
means of postoffice appointments
At its conclusion he invited Judge
Park, or any of his friends who did
not like his statements, to meet him
on the stump. Judge Cox came
here-by motor from Camilla, ac
companied by a delegation of
friends. Parties also were hero
from Worth, Colquitt and Turner
counties.
Judge Cox’s speech might be
classed under two heads, his plat
form of constructive legislation, and
criticism of his opponent’s public
record. His platform - includes
reasonable preparedness, a merch
ant marine, pension reform, divorce
of public service from the .trustees
and the maintenance of the sov
ereignity of the states.
Perhaps the point given most at
tention was economy in public ex
penditures. The parts of Judge
Park’s record most severely handled
were writing into the public rec
ords campaign literature for the
franking privilege. These included
Franklin K. Lane’s “Old Field
School” article from which there
were some notable omissions,
Champ Clark’s speech in which
Park was referred to as the “baby”
congressman, and numerous other
instances.
Quite scathing was his ridicule of
Judge Park’s numerous bill, which
Cox said had included everything
from establishing a sweet shrub sta
tion in Miller county to the . con
quest of Mexico.
Some of these bills he had intro
duced as many as three times, but
had never followed but one out of
the committee room, said the speak
er. His bill for the acquirement of
Mexico, either by purchase, treaty
or conquest was introduced at a
time when the administnation was
straining every nerve to maintain
peace at home and abroad, declar
ed Cox.
The bill to survey a prospective
canal connecting the Flint and Oc-
mulgee rivers proposed an expendi
ture of millions, and contained
ninty-one words. That for bridge
across the Flint at, Newton was a
dangerous example and that to pen
sion rural carriers displaced where
motor routes was substituted for
horse-drawn vehicles was opening
the way for a pension for every re
tiring postmaster.
Judge Cox said he was his own
candidate, wore his own collar, had
made no promises to influence any
man’s votes but said he had never
yet sold a friend or bought an ene
my, and will never be found crown
ing an enemy and. crucifying a
friend. There were several women
in the audience.
Adv.
Miss Vcrsie White has jumped to
first place with a big lead and Miss
Alice Fulford has gained second
place.

fourth. .

In a beautiful pitchers’s battle
between Lang of Cairo and Jones
of Camilla, Cairo defeated Camilla
on the local diamond Tuesday by
the score of 3 to 2.
Both pitchers, and especially
Lang, were constantly in- trouble,
but good fielding hold the score
down. Clyde must have had his
“horse shoe” with him. Nine
Camilla runners wero loft on bases
and several more were, cut off by
snappy double plays, But after
all Lang pitched a fine game. In
the 4th, 6th and 6th he struck out
seven Camilla batters in success
ion.
After repeated efforts Camilla
managed to score two runs in the
eighth on four hits and an error,
and it looked ns,if this had placed
the game on ico, but in the ninth
the home boys came to bat, game
to the end, and proceeded to bat
out a victory. The first man up
struck opt. Roddenbcry singled,
was sacrificed to second by Arlinc,
stole third and then came home on
Wight’s crashing bingle. Jones
Walked after Wight had stolen
second.' Wight brought in the ty
ing run when the Camilla short
stop failed to hold S. Brown’s
grounder. Lang was passed, and
with the bases full, C. Brown won
the game with a timely hit.
A feature of the game was Rod-
denbery’s triple in the second in
ning almost to the centcrfield
fence.

assee on Friday, Juno 9th by the
score of 4 to 3. Pitchers, for both

hits.
