CAIRO, GRADY COUNTY, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1910, ■/-I PARK’S RECORD IS HELD UP TO SCORN BY COX The Judge's Bills in Con gress Are Ridiculed by Man Seeking His Seat STUMP “bEPI” ISSUED NO. 4 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. Miss Carol VanLandingham is third and Miss Elizabeth Dickey fourth. . Miss ltobbio Broome, Mrs. J. H. Brock and Miss Spence, cc next respectively.

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.
