For several years to my certain knowledge— the state of Georgia has been largely dominated in her state po'itics by certain corporate in terest through their hired rep resentatives whom they send or keep at the state capitol during the sessions of our General As sembly. Youingire, is it possi ble, that the majority of our legislators can be bought by the mercenaries who compose what is called by some the 3rd, house? No, I do not make any such wicked statement, but some times it looks very much like some buying and selling is going ou—from the queer things that men sometimes do. I do not think thatthereis much straight out trafficing in legislative votes, and further, I'm confident that during these years spoken of— that we have had as great per cent of honest law makers asany TEHEHRICE-A-VWVW E EXX FIVZGERALD, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 3, 1906, In a Tract of More than 3,000 Acres of the Finest Farming Lands in Georgia, which has been held by One Owner Against All Offers for nearly 50 Years.

Never the less, I do not think there ever was a time in our history, when we have had so many hon est legislators steered wrong, and that is why I write this ar ticle. There are weighty and far-reaching measures to be passed upon by the law makers whom we select this year; meas ures that are of the highest im portance to the moral and mat erial developement of our people. Unless action be taken during the next session of our General assembly—some or all of the following measures must be pas sed upon by the law makers in question, namely. The ‘‘Australian ballot sys tem’ which will tend to purify the ballot—the Fountain-head of the best system of government koow to men. : The “'Anti-jug law” which will prevent the liquor or wet coun- }ties from ‘‘slopping’’ over on to ‘the dry counties. : } The ‘“‘limiting or curtailing of franchise” by which the largest ‘part of our immoral purchasable yote will be illiminated for all time, and then state prohibition will be assured. ~ The *‘elec}ion of Railroad com missioners” by popular ballot— ‘which gets us further away from the one-man power, and will be a %long step towards equity and justice equality between the ;Railroads and the shippers. - The “‘Child Labor bill’’ which will liberate hundreds of white children slaves and better their conditions mentally, morally and physically. A “bill to close all the liquor shops.in Gecrgia,” which if pas sed—would “with one stroke of the pen’” bring greater benefity to the people of Georgia for all time and eternity, than any law Business Lot Both for (25 BY 120 FEET.)

Some or all of these and other good measures will have to be passed upon by the iGeneral assembly of 1907 land 1908. Therefore, I do not think \it unreasonable, or unjust to ask each and every candidate inques tion—to state in plain language what in the main he stands for— and also what he opposes. Our law makers on all great issues‘ should be willing to express ‘themselves—-so that we may know what to expect from them, especially, when such far-reach ing issues are to be passed upon, we should know before nominat ing—whether our representatives and senators will line up with the corporations, trusts, and liquor dealers association, to the detriment of the masses. or will they oppose the selfi:hness of the corporations trusts, and m whiskeys gang—occupying such high moral ground—that wilk enable them to always work and vote unbiased for all measures that tend to the up-lift of the ‘masses—and yet not discrimin= ate against the classes, and vot'{ against all measures that tend' to make the burdens of the very poor harder to bear.
