The only thing that Harper's Weekly seems to have against Slaton Is the fact that publications are bitter rivals in New York.

Atlanta, Ga., June 29.—Among the many candidates who are circulating around the capitol since the assem bly opened is Dr. L. G.

The Mormans then asked how much time they would be given, and the spokesman told them long enough to gia should have no trouble in mak ing a choice between Slaton and Felder. In commenting upon Harper's edi torial the Macon News says: “Harper's Weekly, a great tional magazine, noted for Its un trammeled thought, has in this week's issue a splendid endorsement of Thomas S. Felder as a candidate for the United States Senate from Georgia. “Harper's comment on the political situation In this state is not alone interesting, but exceedingly perti nent. It accurately summarizes what what logically appears to be the real facts in the case. Harper's judg ment of men and matters Is noted for Its clarity and soundness, and Its estimate of the men engaged in the Georgia senatorial campaign reflects those characteristics. Harper's also discerns the fact that the race is be tween Mr. Felder and Mr. Slaton. "Money cannot buy a testimonial like that from an influential and In dependent magazine like Harper's Weekly, and because its endorsement of Mr. Felder is absolutely voluntary aud unsolicited it comes with pecu liar force.’’ The Macon News is evidently hard up for campaign matters for ITS candidate when it goes all the way to New York City to get the opinion of a millionaire publisher to predict that Mr. Felder has a chance to win, and that the race is between Slaton and Felder. Now the truth of the matter is the New York editor knows about as much about the senatorial listen to some Georgia publication even though the Macon News says that Harper’s Weekly cannot bought, and intimates that smaller Georgia publications might be pur chased. A 20,000 ORGANIZATION. Mr. John Reese, one of the oldest and best known newspaper corres pondents in Atlanta, says: "Some weeks ago announcement was made of the organization of a state-wide campaign committee for John M. Slaton In his candidacy for the United Statea Senate, unexplred term. "Alfred Newell was named head of the committee, and Gus Morrow secre tary. At the outset the statement was made that plans had been perfected to put 10,000 names of prominent Georgians in every county of the Btate on this campaign committee, making a formidable working force to pro mote Governor Slaton's interests. "Now, it may be stated authorltn lively that the committee has grown to 20,000. These figures are subject to verification in the campaign bead quarters. They have been listed, vised and put in shapo. Personal ceptances and letters stand back of a very large percentage-of these names. The others authorize local county leaders to put them down us Slaton boosters and workers. The commit tee is almost wholly a volunteer one.

The twentieth century standard by which the world measures those selected to do big things. The MAN himulf being satisfactory, the next thought is of his training and ability. Representing a great state like Georgia in the United States Senate is a big thing—a full-grown man's job— if it is attended to properly. JOHN M. SLATON is a full-grown public man. His ability has never been questioned. Two decades of training in the service of YOU—the people—comprises an apprenticeship which should equip him for the office. SLATON served eight years in the Legislature—in the rank*. SLATON was then twice chosen Speaker—unani mously—and served four years more. SLATON made a great Speaker—the best on record, say those who kno.v—because he had trained for it SLATON was then elected to the Senate, twice—and was elected President twice—unanimously both times —and he was a great President of the Senate—because he had trained for the job. SLATON was Acting Governor a short time. You remember how well he filled the office, temporarily. It was because he had been training for sixteen years. SLATON was then elected Governor, practically unanimously; not only because he was popular, but because his trained fitness had been proven. SLATON has carried out in full his legislate program in a year. He succeeded because he knew the job. He had trained for it seventeen years. Farmers and doctors are not made in a day. Neither are statesmen. They must learn. They must work up. They must train. SLATON has learned, he has worked up, he has trained. Efficient public service supplanted ephemeral bombast. Results have counted Knowledge of duty well done has meant more to Slaton than public applause. YOU—the people—need a trained man for Senator. We offer you the best trained up in Georgia—JOHN M. SLATON. Examine the records. John M. Slaton State Campaign Committee ALFRED C. NEWELL, Ckalnua I. A. MORROW, Sentuj “SEND SLATON TO THE SENATE." N.

He did not seek the nomination but it de veloped because he led the fight for country bank representation on th< board. Mclaane Tilton, of Pell City, Ala. has made an attack on Malone which has been deplored generally by the Alabama banking Interests. Tilton was a defeated candidate for the place given Mr. Malone, whose friends say that Tilton was disap pointed at not getting the place. Even the Florida banks have takei up the cause of Mr. Malone and charge in personal letters and cir culars that Tiltqn was willing sacrifice the Interests of the country banks to satisfy personal animosity toward the Dothan bunker. They charge that at the Montgomery meeting Mr. Tilton refused to take any interest In the country hanks unless the election should full himself. The selection of Mr. Malone has met with favorable comment here because he is believed to represent more truly than any other eligible man’ the banking progress of Ala* bumu. It Is said that he has estab lished with a controlling interest more national banks than uny other man In the United States. Among them was the first national hunk established In the wiregrass i tion of Alabama and Florida.
