One of the finest things written
about the Chicago convention and
nomination of President Roose
for another term is an editor
ial in the Blackshear Times by
that brilliant and popular Editor,
Kirk Sutlive.
Mr. Sutlive went to the conven
as a member of the Georgia
He cast his ballot for
That was the way the
delegation was instructed
vote by the Democratic State
But Mr. Sutlive did
have to be instructed that way,
that was the way he
to be.
He very scornfully ridicules the
that Harrv Honkins or ! :
any body else dictated or manipu- i
lated his vote for Roosevelt
“As a matter of fact to' ” writes
VTi- H^nuruose^ Sutlive “I went 1 Chicago
[Sent for oLvoting for Pres- i
Roosevelt, and this decision
came not from pressure from
Harry Hopkins or any other con
ven tion leader, but was motivated
by 7b e simple fact that I honestly
believe Mr. Roosevelt is doing a
good job.”
Editor Sutlive scoffs at the idea
that Wendell Willkie’s nomination
was brought about by pressure
from 7b e people,
“He wasn’t any more nominated
by the people than I was,” says
his editorial. “His nomination was
pre -arranged by big business, and
as the campaign progresses this
will be as readily seen as a sore
thumb on a hitch-hiker.
“Now, don’t get the idea that
Im one of , those ,, fellows , „„ „ who , „
red every time big busines is men
tioned. I m not I think big busi
ness has contributed its lull sh r
o the prosperity and progress of
this nation—but I think big bus
mess needs to be watched. Those
boys have a habit of taking the
public for a ride every few years.
The rides are O. K. but most of
us have to walk back. Mr. Roose
velt has stopped the ride business,
and the big boys are itching to get
their hands on the steering wheel.
“And so, we have Wendell Will
kie, the boy from Indiana who
made good; the lad who bolted
the Democratic party because the
administration wouldn't play ball
with his power company; the man
who does not own an automobile
or a watch—carrying the banner of
the Republican party. The man
with the color and personality and
a dead political party hanging on
his coat-tails.
“What in the world does this
mean? It hardly makes as much
sense as this rambling bit of po
litical hash I’m dishing out. But
I’ll take Roosevelt straight, even if
he does own a watch and a Ford
| V-8.”
Kirk Sutlive’s paper is one of
the brightest and best edited
weeklies in the State, and he is
j one of the most popular of all
weekly editors. He comes natur
; ally by both his ability and ,his
j popularity, dwell beloved being a William son of the late
j an G. Sut
' live.

Largest Highway
Deficit Disclosed
Georgia’s Highway Department
on June 30 had spent or commit
te ^ itself . to sepnd $12,067,275.63
more than its revenues to that
date, says Wright Bryan, manag
ing editor of The Atlanta Journal,
in one of the series of educational
articles on Georgia's financial af
fairs, appearing in the Atlanta
daily.
This is the largest anticipation
of future revenues ever recorded
by the department at the close of
a fiscal year, the editor revealed.
To redeem these commitments
within the next year and make the
usual expenditures for mainten
ance, administration, and pay
ments on county refunding cer
tificates will require almost $2,
000,000 more than was allocated
to the Highway Department last
year, writes Mr. Bryan, who adds
“and this would not provide for!
the letting of a single new road:
contract.”
It has been customary in recent I
years for the Highway Depart
ment to close each year with com- !
mitmenis exceeding revenues, the
writer said. This has been ex
palined with the theory that
marty road contracts on which
work was in progress would not
be completed until more revenue j
had come into the treasury. j
“Never before, however, has the !
deficit been as much as half what!
it was on June 30, this year,” the
article stated. “Only years of the
j ««P P as y° t lu » “ “ s {« a * have u of a ended deficlt J J with were a
n Du “ ng the past , in 10 years the
ones showing deficits were: 1931—
] 1 $4,365,814.19; 1932—$5.170,673.21;
j 1933 _ $2i961 >553 . 45 . 1936—$624,

! $5 508 ,281.18; 1939—$3,917,221.01,
and 1940, $12,067,275.63. Sur-
1 pluses of $953,360.90 and $1,319,
948.09, respectively, were shown
in 1934 and 1935.
