MORALE OF GEORGIA. POLITICS.
morale of this campain in
Georgia Is theJowest wo have known
for a family fight in a party primary
Ii is even worse than any of the con
tests between opposing political par
ties to which we have in the past
been accustomed. The cartoon which
holds up to scorn and ridicule is re
garded as more potent than reason
or logic. .
"Thieves,” "robbers,” etc., are
common epithets which find their
way 1q -print. And the amount of
proven lying is appalling. Appeals
to the baser side of the human is in
finitely 'preferable, in this fight, to
calls upon the better side.
We cannot believe that the people
of Georgia have so degenerated
sq Short a space of time as to tnake
this campaign of vilification and
abuse the nortnal political average
of our day, It Is ndt normal. It is
hot our level. It Is below the aver
age .Georgian.
Tho thoughtful man who loves his
state, and wishes well his neighbors,
naturally turns to seek the causes
for so much dirt floating about and
poisoning pt the political air. There
does not seem to be any very un
healthy conndltlons about the admin
istration of our- public affairs. The
executive, legislative and Judical
branches of our stato government
seem to bo well and honestly admin
istered. The tax returas are larger
and the tax rate lower, than ever
known before. Every branch of bus
iness Is prospering more thdn ever
known In the history of the state. The
farming interests are thrifty, and cot
ton Is selllhg at a good price. The
people seem to be contented’ a« a
rule and happy. Then what is the
trouble? What Is all this noise about
What is this that wo smell?
