ANNOUNCEMENT of his candidacy for the United States Senate by John
M. Slaton, of Atlanta, to fill the unexpired term of the late Senator A.
O. Bacon, has met with widespread approval all over Georgia.
Letters of endorsement and promises of support have come to him from
thousands of people in all sections of the state. He and his friends have
heard from every county in Georgia, and these reports all indicate that his
election is absolutely certain.
As a member of the general assembly in both branches for a period of 16
years, during eight of which he served as presiding officer, Mr. Slaton has
performed every promise made and met every obligation assumed. When
he aids the legislature to make provision for refunding maturing state bonds,
which will be done at the coming session, the entire platform on which he
was elected governor will have been enacted into law. Thus he feels free
to submit his senatorial candidacy to the people.
In his formal announcement Mr. Slaton states that he Is first a Georgian,
and points out the splendid opportunity for the states of the South to regain
and re-establish the recognition to which they are entitled in national af
fairs. He stands for community government and the preservation of the
political rights of even the smallest community.!
His position for economical administration of government is reinforced
by his successful efforts as governor in the reduction of the expenditures of
the state.
He opposes needless extravagance in national administration and the
further extension of the Federal pension system. Regarding a senator as
an ambassador from the state to the national council, he believes
in making the interests, rights and prosperity of Georgia his first consider
ation. He holds that Georgia should receive her due proportion of ma
terial benefit from what the state gives to the volume of American exports
and that legislation should aim to further the Interests of the farmer and
the producer. He urges laws which will advance the interests of labor and
asserts that he will use every effort toward the development of the material
and educational interests of Georgia.
POINTED EXTRACTS FROM
SLATON’S ANNOUNCEMENT.
The following are some pertinent extracts from Governor Slaton’s for
mal announcement of his candidacy:
“While holding the nation in reverent regard, I cannot forget that I am
first a Georgian, and I believe that each state and community should govern
itself so far as is compatible with the public interests.
“This principle of general government I have endeavored to illustrate in
both official and political capacity, and only recently urged upon the State
Executive Committee of our party the primary importance of preserving
the full polit’cal rights of even the smallest county. And lam pleased to
note that in the rules adopted for determining the contest in which I shall
be engaged, such is done in conformity to the platform upon which I was
nominated for Governor.
“The products of Georgia soil, as the products of all American soil and in
dustry, should find easier access to the markets of the world, and enlight
ened statesmanship should contribute to that end.
“My creed rests in the established principles of democracy.
“I have, both as legislator and executive, especially stressed the practical
wisdom of an economical administration of government and am gratified
by the reflection that during my administration for the first time in many
years, the expenditures cf the state of Georgia have been reduced.
“Inducement to extravagance in the administration of public funds is
subtle and often, apparently, compelling, and the tendency to extravagance
in the administration of national affairs has been appalling.
“As senator, particularly shall I be opposed to the further extension of!
the Federal pension system to meet an appetite which can not be satiated
and whose greed now threatens to include as wards of the government even'
the descendants of original pensioners.
"I shall faver all measures tending to improve our greatest industrty
agriculture. And the farmers need nothing more than the privilege right
fully theirs, to obtain money at the interest rates allowed other industries’
and 1 shall favor such rural credit systems as will enable them to do this. 1
“If it shall be the will of the people of my state that I become one of
their representatives in the United States Senate, I shall diligently strive
to avail myself of every opportunity to develop every interst of Georgia.
“Until the election I shall be occupied in caring for the public interests
entrusted to me as Governor. Being thus prevented from engaging in an
active personal canvass, 1 submit my candidacy, in all confidence, to th®
people of Georgia.”
SOMETHING ABOUT
JOHN M. SLATON’S RECORD. *
Governor Slaton’s public record is fresh in tfea minds of Georgians
Elected to the house of representatives in 1896, he servai continuously in
the general assembly for sixteen years. He was speaker of the house
and president of the state senate continuously for eight years, having been
elected to both positions without opposition, a record not achieved by any
other Georgian. As president of the senate, he became governor ad interim
between the retirement of Senator Hoke Smith and the second installation
of Governor Brown. Thus he has been governor twice.
As president of the senate he cast the deciding vote in that body for the
income tax amendment which has since become a part of the Federal Com
stitution.
He was called to the governor’s office in the summer of 1912 by a vote
of Hie people so overwhelming that it might be said to have been unanimous.
If there is one thing he may be said to have stood for more than another it
is the prompt payment by the state of its obligations; and his chief work
as governor has been in rehabilitating the state’s finances. Measures urged
by him and already adopted by the legislature, it is believed, will accom
plish this.
HOW GEORGIA NEWSPAPERS
VIEW HIS CANDIDACY.
Out of twenty-three daily papers in the state, not half a dozen have de
dared against Mr. Slaton. Two of these are the home papers, respect
ively of his opponents. More than one-half of the daily papers are for him
/ A proportion-perhaps twothirds-of the weekly newspapers which
ve declared themselves, are supporting Mr Slaton.
