it la. suggested that one should be se
lected from Waycross, and one as at
present from Ware county, much pres
sure, we ar$ told, is being brought to
bear on Mr. L. J. Cooper, President of
First National Bank to become a can
didate from Waycross. Mr. Cooper
is an up-to-date business man and
would make an excelleht representa

we change our men tqo often. If we
have good representatives, lets stick

ELECTION LAW
Special To The Herald.
Columbus, O., Sept. 6.—The Kimball
corrupt practices act enacted by the
last session of the Ohio legislature
was given its first practical tost In
the primaries held throughout thp
state today. The law Ip all Its pro*
visions applies to the primaries at
well as’ to the‘regular elections. Ths
results of its operation are awaited
with keen Interest, particularly Ln
Cincinnati, Toledo, Columbus, and otb
er large cities where It was tr(ed out
today.
me advocates of tho Kimball net
believe that it will work a revolution
in the methods of practical pofltics.
The measure is designed to bring
practically every movement of every
political party and candidate Into the
daylight of publicity. The publicity
feature is attained by tl^e provision
of the law which compel tho filing
within ten days after any election, of
statements showing tho precise a
mount of money Bpent by every can
didate, jwrty committee, or associa
tion or organization of two or more
persons, interested in the election,
and showing In addition bow every
dollar was spent. Primary electlpns
are Included,, ijnd tho law makes the
lling of such statements absolute^
compulsory. The law requires, fur
thermore, that the statements must
include not only the "hmount of .mon
ey spent, but the amount "promised ‘
or “received.”
Labor Day passed off very quietly
Waycross. Practically all
stores closed all day and the entire
street had a Sunday like appearance.
Politics seemed to be the principal
topic of conversation and groups of
men could be seen gathered on cor
ners and under shady trees discuss
ing pro and con and the chances of
Cox, or Parker, or McGee, or Reed, or
Bellinger or any other probable can
didate that struck their fancy. The
early morning trains carried out
good many people to Savannah nnd
Jacksonville. In the afternoon a good
ball game attracted a large crowd,
And the numerous automobiles and
buggies going too and fro ^howed tljat
the day was being enjoyed in a quiet
way by all citizens.
