Governor Brown Is right when he says that a man who is elected by the people makes a com pact with them to fill tho office. HH personal ambition should not allow him to seize some moro ottroctive prize. Such conduct Is antagonistic to the principles of our constitution and destructive to public sorvlce. ENGINE JUMPS TRACK Was Probably Caused By The Spreading of The Rails. IN EVERY DAY. ALL THE LATEST 8TVLE8 AND ANLL THE LATEST Savannah Press. After discussing some state and lo cal Ihbugs in the announcement of his platform, Hon. Joseph M. Brown, Ex-Governor of Georgia, sounds throe vital notes in his state campaign. Their discussion injectr an interest into tho campaign, which it has not yet had, and removes the question way above mere local issues, for he makes his pica on a matter of princi ple and national politics. Governor Brown has now fpItched the flfcht where every Geofginn must taken instant notice and make permanent alignment. The issues are clean-cut, the division is a logical one, and the principles against which he says his candidacy is a protest, stand out well rounded and clearly defined. First, when a vacancy occurred for tho United States Senatorship in Georgia, It was clearly the duty of the iterty leaders and managers to arrange a senatorial primary. This had been the accepted policy In Geor gia and there was no earthly excuse for the failure to provide one. The vacancy In the Senate occurred ear ly In November, 1910. The Legisla ture did not elect a Senator until June 12th., lbll. Here was a period of over eight months, during which time a primary could have been ar- | ranged and held, giving the candl- I dates, and the people plenty of time ; to make up their minds as to a sue* I lessor to Senator Clay. If the. objec tion was -in the score of expense, It , * f >'®t tru® that the election of Gov* I ernor Smith produced an agitation ! infinitely more expensive than the - primary tor a United States 8enator. J Second, Governor Hoke Smith, who j had Insisted upon a re-election by the , people, and who was triumphantly re-elected, should have remained In office until his term expired; bh ac ceptance of the office was an implied j stroke. The other candidates have Jontraot with the people, and his j been picking cotton by moonlight but '•'th of office, taken unhesitatingly Governor Brown has walked *)ut Intr ] when he was inaugurated, bound him the sunshine and the objects he de- to rnprert tho constitution and to fines stands out as deaf as day. Cordelo, Ga., Oct. ,10.—Twonty-ono persons were hurt when the engine of a Seaboard Air Line passenger train from Helena to Columbus, left the rails, three miles east of Cordele at 8:25 this morning. No ono Is thought to be seriously injured. The train wa-a No. 75 and was known as the “Shoo Fly.” It was westbound when the accident took plnce. What made the engine leave the track is not known, but It probabfy was caused by spreading rails or defeo tlve spiking. The engine was turned completely over and badly damaged. The three cars, a flrst-class passen ger, a secon-cla^s and ono comblna-' tlon passenger and baggage tnach left the rails and remained almost on their sides. Tho passengers were thrown to tho floors and sides, most receiving brulsos and scratches. It b considered remarkable that none was seriously JnJured. Only 9 out of 300 passengers es caped bruises. The victims were brought here and given treatment at the city hospital. The worst hurt were: Mrs. W. J. Falrcloth, Rochello, Ga., hurt on head and probably Internal* iy. Mrs. M. Hester,. Adel, Ga., lAick and arm Injured. Mrs. Hal Lawson, Abbeville, Ga., ; scratch on body. Mrs. James Rodgers, Abbeville, suf fering from shock. M. M. King, Pitts, Ga.; Samuel Grijn, Hatley, Oa.; and Capt A. K. Fisher, bruised and cut. Tho train was in charge of Engi neer J. C. Bock a\jd Conductor H. # M. Stokes. THREE IN ONE FAMILY DIE WITHIN A MONTH. Third, Governor Smith retained o office of Governor aftor bis eloc-| tlcn to the Senate, leaving nis seat! _ ... . „ _ . .

With the knowledge thet a Republican vice president had cast a deciding vote on two occasions, be wsa absent when the vote was 39 39 In the United States Senate on August 1st., wbsn a bill from ths Democratic House of Representatives reducing the cost of meat and bread was before the Senate. Without a precedent In Georgia for such ■ thing he remained on to mingle In state affairs. This condition. Is facing the people now and against this regime Governor Brown sags bis candidacy Is a protest. The logical part of Gov. Brown's protest Is that ho was the man whe was defeated by Governor Smith when he ran for Governor. Now that the Oovernof will resign before his term Is over ail'd has elected tc run for some other office, shouldn’t the people return to Governor Brown and glye to him the unexpfred term? The people of Georgia have a home ty, direct way of looking at thing, and this Issue Is going to appeal to a great many of them. It looks like Governor Brown had vitalised the campaign with n single died, making three deaths In less than a month. The remains were taken to-Augusta for burial.
