*
General Stone Mountain Circuit
Decatur, Georgia
January, 12 1920
To the Citizens of the Stone Mountain Judicial Circuit
I wish to take this means of announcing my candidacy
for the position of Solicitor General of the Stone Mountain
Judicial Circuit, subject to the Democratic White Primary.
I respectfully solicit your vote and influence.
There can be no platform for this office, other than
the promise that if elected I will devote my energies to an
impartial enforcement of the laws, and in every way I
will endeavor to carry out all the duties of the office ac¬
cording to both the letter and the spirit of the Law.
I was born and raised in DeKalb County and have
practiced law in DeKalb and Fulton Counties for eight
years. _
I trust that my record as I have made it among the
citizens of my home county, and with those citizens of the
other counties that I have had the opportunity to come
in contact, will merit your favorable consideration of my
candidacy and your vote and influence.
Respectfully
SCOTT CANDLER

Loudoa.—“Well, it’s not my funeral,”
sal* the sprucely dressed young Eng¬
lishman with a collar of pre-war glossi¬
ness, reading out the following para¬
graph in the corner of a London club:
“The birth rate per 1,000 persons
living in England and Wales in 1918
was 1T.7, as compared with 34.1 per
1,000 In the ten years 1S51-60. The
rate In Cheshire is only 19.9 per 1,000,
and that In London 16.1. The end of
the war shows no check In what Is
really national suicide.
“It’s not my funeral,” he repeated.
But It was.
It was not only his funeral, but per¬
haps the funeral of a race. “D—n
posterity!” 6ald the Irishman. “What
has posterity ever done for me?” The
European is saying the same.
This Is no scare. It Is a fact. It is
more vital than another European
war—or than ten others. It Is more
mortal than the influenza. It Is more
dangerous than an anarchist bomb In
every street. For Europe, It is the
only thing that matters.
It is a very old world.
Here In London at election time we
run two giant ladders side by si<fe up
the face of one of our tallest buildings.
As the results come in, the figures on
the ladders, representing the Liberal
and tory parties, race each other up
the building. Rearing their height
over Europe’s weary, war worn
masses, two ladders are seen today.
On one is the figure of death. On the
other, the figure of a little rosy child,
death racing against life. And death
Is winning.
“The End of the Race."
“The End of the Race,” a current
cartoon, shows Europe’s last baby In
the year 2,000. A halo Is shown about
Its wizened head. Its bones show
through Its tortured skin. It Is sur¬
rounded by adoring millions of aged
Europeans of both sexes, the last of
their race. It is only a cartoon.
But—?
In the death that comes In the roar
of a gun and the crash of a shell we
have forgotten the death of the great
silence.
Twenty years ago France used to be
held up as Europe’s horrible exam¬
ple—France, the country where,
after America, the baby was king.
There are those who say today that
the war has completed what the
French nation began. There are
skilled sociologists who believe that
France, once the glory of the old
world, Is dying—dying because she re¬
fuses to live. Patriotism and pride
keep closed the mouths of her great
men. But is not today’s Europe a
greater France?
Except In this one thing figures can
be made to prove anything. But the
mathematics of birth and death are
inexorable. There Is no room for
doubt
Europe, to use a pungent American¬
ism, Is “on the toboggan.” There are
omens as portentous and inevitable
as that sinking feeling before sea¬
sickness. “Bonuses for babies” is Eu¬
rope’s. Here In England we have
already raised that S. O. S. France
tried It and failed. Will Europe?
The above applies to all classes, but
to the middle class It comes with fate¬
ful Intensity.
Middle Class Most Affected.
While, with better conditions, a fall¬
ing death rate among the working
alasses has during the last 30 years
to some extent compensated for a fall¬
ing birth rate, the accentuated fall of
the middle class birth rate has no fall¬
ing death rate of any kind to compen¬
sate. A prominent medical man has
just written in the Times: “What we
are witnessing is the death of the mid¬
dle class." Upon the coffin of that
class will be inscribed the epitaph: “A
class that died because it could not
live.” Not because it would not, but
because it could not. Are we goin* to
see Europe given over to the working
class} And then?
The once great middle class, in its
last struggle for survival, will be
forced into one of two things; either
to sell out and go over bodily to or¬
ganized labor, or to form a European
middle class trade union, both for of¬
fense and defense. It will say to
Europe: “If you want doctors, law¬
yers, clergymen, you must pay for It,
or we won’t serve you.”
But Europe, alas! Is beginning to
do without the clergyman. The state
lawyer is beginning to supplant the
private practitioner. Only the doctor
Is left, and he. poor devil, Is being
nationalized under national health reg¬
ulations.
Here in England the middle class
family of four or five has become
two or three. Medical men, without
exception, are united In their opinion
that during the pai*t ten years the
birth rate of that class has been going
headlong to perdition.
