The forthon-commg drive to
carry Georgia for Wendell Willkie
in the November election will be
amply financed: probably more
amply than any political cam
paign for any office in this State
in twenty years or more.
It is even sqggested that the
Republican Presidential nominee
may come into Georgia to make
a speech under the auspices of th°
numerous and sundry Willkie for
President Clubs which are crop
ping up.
But the Willkie money poured
into Georgia will be wasted, and
Mr. Willkie if he comes into Geor
Gia will be wasting time he might
use to better advantage elsewhere.
The Georgia situation in 1940 is
vastly different from the Georgia
situation in 1928. In that Presi
dential campaign. Alfred E. Smith,
the Democratic nominee, was open
anc * act > ve ly opposed in Geor
§ ia b y the organized dry forces
because of hi s opposition to the
Volstead Act and the Eighteenth
Amendment, and by a large sect
ion of the Protestant denomina
tion.
Roosevelt has none of this op
position, but on the contrary is
lov ed and trusted by Georgians as
they have no other President, in
addition to which he is part-time
citizen of Georgia. He will sweep
the State, leaving Mr. Willkie only
the old rock-ribbed Republican
j vote of Fulton and a few north
Georgia counties.
The third-term issue amounts to
nothing against Roosevelt in Geor
gia. As very well spoken by Roy
McGinty in the Calhoun Times:
“A number of people are very
much exercised over the fact that
President Roosevelt has accepted
a nomination for a third term. If
you will check up on them, you
will find that 99 out of 100 were
just as much opposed to him for
a second term, and wouldn’t be
for him for a first term. I will
never worry about a third term,
or a fourth term, as long as it is
the deliberate choice of the Amer
ican people in the exercise of a
free ballot. If Roosevelt is chosen
for a third term, it will be because
free American citizens prefer him
over the candidates of the other
parties. And if that isn’t domoc
racy, I don’t know what is.”
And .as Gordon Chapman re
marks in the Sandersville Prog
i ress: “Wendell Willkie says he
glad the Democrats have named
| Roosevelt, as he wants to
against him. He might ask former
President Hoover and Alfred M.
Landon how they felt on the
morning after the last two elect
ions.”
One of the best suggestions yet
advanced by Georgia guberna
torial candidates is that of Abit
Nix, who advocates free fishing
THE COVINGTON N E W *
79,000 Take Part
In Wildlife Plan
Final compiliation of figures re
vested this week that 79,500 Geor
gia boys and girls participated in
the statewide conservation pro
gram during the period from Jan
uary 1 through June 30, it was
announced by the Division
’Wildlife.
Of this number, 8,718
for awards offered by the Division,
In addition, approximately 200
county agents and vocational tea
chers cooperated with the cam
paign, a movement which was
launched by Charles N.
wildlife director, “to restore and
protect the game and fish life
that it will be of greatest benefit
to the citizens and sportsmen of
Georgia.’’
Planned programs in game and
fish management were carried on
by the 8.718 who took part in the
contest. The winners, two 4-H boys
two FFA boys, a county
and two vocational teachers,
leave Atlanta August 5, for a two
weeks tour of Wisconsin, one of
the states in wildlife conservation.
John T. Bailie. Jr., of Preston,
won the contest among county
a .ents and Clyde Greenway of
Cadwell and Eugene W. Able, of
Lake Park topped the vocational
teachers. Leadng the 4-H clubbers
were Mark Hiram Carter of Lake
Park and Emerson Bryson of
Preston. The FFA race was head
ed by John Wyatt Payne of Alien
ton and Jerome Webb of Hahira.
• Carolyn Morrison of Glennwood
and Geraldine Fletcher of Valdos
ta shared first place among the
4-H girls. Each will receive $100
in cash for outstanding conserva
tion work on the farm.
In addition to the Wisconsin trip
and the cash awards, prizes of
quail will be given to runners up.
Sixteen boys and girls will re
ceive five pairs of brood quail, and
eight vocational teachers and four
county agents will be given 10
pairs to be released on land un
der wildlife management.
GAME RANGER
Hot weather has caused many a
person to look for the creeks and
rivers, to find a place to cool and
enjoy what Mother Nature placed
there in the way of fish life.
Every day hundreds of local
fishermen are gathering around
the banks of Jackson Lake, in
Newton County, trying to catch
bream, bass and catfish. One old
timer, placed the worm right in
the mouth of a seveh and one-half
pound large mouth bas;, and to
his surprise when he landed the
fish, it wins disrmvered he had
done a good day’s job. The sec
ond best catch was made when an
old hand brought two five and a
half pound blue cats. Talking
about how good those cats eat re
minds the writer of th» time when
a new neighbor moved in from
Charleston, S. C, and to be neigh
borly twm of our local fishermen
down home sent this gentleman a
fine catch of South Georgia red
breast fish, and in a few days
these men learned that their
neighbor had swapped these red
breast to the fishman for some
mullet, so it is very easy to see
why an old timer won’t go back
on his raising.
for Georgians in their home coun
ties.
"The law requiring a license for
all fishermen,” says Mr. Nix,
unfair to a large percentage of
our country people. There are too
many other places where they are
obliged to spend their dollars.
Free fishing in a man’s home coun
ty would give poor people the be
nefits and pleasures enjoyed by
people able to buy licenses. Poor
people more often go fishing for
something to eat than go for the
fun of it.”
Yes. sir, w r e think Abit has got
something there.
Talmadge Welds
Strong Support
In Speaking Tour
Eugene Talmadge, unperturbed
by concerted fire of criticism
poured upon him by
for Governor, is sticking
to the main issue in the campaign:
how best to salvage Georgia’s gov
ernment from the mire of debt,
waste, rising taxes and rackel
eering, he said this week on a
speaking swing over the State.
Talmadge leader." in many sec
tions of the State .reported fresh
thousands of voluntary offers of
support by voters as Governor
Talmadge pointed out that his op
ponents are trying to inject per
sonalities into the campaign.
“My opponents have no plan or
platform for any solution of the
States ills, Talmadge said. “You
folks know what Talmadge will do
about Georgias plight because
Talmadge has been talking about
it in The Statesman and on the
stump. Instead of recognizing that
Georgia’s ox is in the ditch, they
spend most of their time
on Gene and trying to distract
the people’s attention from t h e
mess the present administration
has made.”
Depth of Georgia’s
reaction against the top-heavy
fice of spend-thrift and corrupt
State government built by tax
grabbers since he left office is
measured by large crowds turning
ou * w here\ er he outlines his ideas
^ or Cteorg 13 s restoration to a
sound, sensible and economical
basis, Talmadge pointed out.
i He will remove from the State
payroll every employee not earn
ing every dollar the State pays.
Talmadge promised. “I will elim
inate graft and corruption wher
ever I find it. In doing this, I will
surround myself with officers and
employees above reproach—men
, and whose honesty, integ
women
rity, ability and efficiency cannot
j be questioned from any source.”
j Talmadge believes Georgias
i greatest natural resources are her
people, and in thinking of resourc
es the first thought should be the
j health of the people. “It's not the
goods we produce that matters
most, but it’s the health and con
tentment of our people. After we
! safeguard public health, see that
our people are well and happy,
an d that they have a fair oppor
tunity to make an honest living,

Agricultural leaders from 12
