FOR L. O. HARDEMAN.
Moultrie has entertained several
candidates for office this week. Among
them was L. 0. Hardeman who spent
portions of two days In the county
meeting the people and presenting his
claims to their support. Mr. Harde-
man has some things that commend
him pretty strongly. He has a legis
lative record that few men In the
state's history have acquired. He has
been one of the men who have led in
the ronstruetlve legislation that has
marked the progress of the state in
the past fifteen years. He is more
than a law maker. He is a successful
business man, a successful professional
SiSR, 22il a f*vihkt
stock man. He operates one of the
finest farms in the state and probably
the finest dairy in the state. He Is a
man of religious profession and prac
tire, iu morally clean, broad in his gen
eral information, clear in his thinking
and convincing III his speech. There
is probably few men in the state who
have a sincere interest in to many dif
ferent classes of people and so many
kinds of business as he has. He has
murk to rommend him and hta candi
dacy, and while this should not be con
•idered as meaning that The Observer
will arcord his its support, it certain
ly does mean that we look upon him
as being of gultfrnatorial size
availability.—Moultrie Observer.

TIIE CHAMPION OPTIMIST.
Hope springs eternal In the breast
of the Prohibition party. II. P. Paris
of rilntnn, Mo,, national treasurer of
that party, predicts that a Prohibition
history. The flrat candidate, James
Black of Pennsylvania, waa nominat
ed by the Temperance party In 1872
He received 6,608 votes In the entire
country. In 1876 Green Clay 8mtth of
Kentucky was the Prohibition nomi
nee, receiving nearly 10,000 votes.
There has been a candidate evry four
years since, the vote ranging as high
as 268,636 for Silas C. Swallow
Pennsylvania in 1904. There was
slump of 5,000 the next four years and
a further alump of 45,000 between
1908 and 1912. The vote In 1912 was
43,480 less than It was In 1888, after
twenty-four year!’ aggressive cam
paignlng, in spite or the Increase In
the population and the extension of
the franchise to women. The only
campaign In which the party had any
noticeable effect on the results of the
national eletclon was that of 1884. It
Is conceded that the vote given St.
John In New York was one of
half dosen things that lost Blaine that
state and the presidency.
The cause of prohibition has stead
ily advanced without regard to the
Prohibition party. The party, sin
gular as It may acent. haa not been
strong In the states where prohibi
tion sentiment has been highest.
1913 there were only 945 votes for
Chafln In Maine, out of a total of
142,105, although Maine la the pioneer
prohibition state. The high mark of
the prohibition party vote was reach
ed In Kansas In 1886. It has only
about one-fourth as large vote now.
Oklahoma. although % lt has twice up
held state-wide prohibition at the
polls, gave but 2.185 of its 254.386
i Chafln In 1912. The party
e commonly called the Third
party. It became that In 1734 and
held its place In 1888. But in 1892
Weaver, of the People’s party, took
the place with nearly five times as
many votes. The Gold Democrats
ere third in 1896. It regained its
place in 1300, only to lose it in 1904
to theSoc la lists. In 1913 It was fifth,
the Socialist party outnumbering it
■er four to one.
Whatever may be the future spread
or prohibition, there is nothing to teao
the disinterest'*! observer to look
upon the political party committed to
that as its chief cause as being a
great factor in practical results. The
mass of Americans are Intensely prac
tical when it cornea to voting. They
do not look upon exercise of the fran
chise as the mere registration of ab
stract views, but regard it at a prac
tlcal choice between candidates for
office. The cletckms held throughout
he country since 1912 have In prae-
icaliy every instance illustrated this
attitude. It la this fact which has led
all political observers who are not

"The newspapers of the state have
commented favorably upon Mr. Dun-
son’s candidacy, and should be de

strong support from all sections of

Is stated that he will be ready at any
