GOV. SLATON FOR V. S. SKNATOH
The Atlanta Georgian, which has
been somewhat squeamish under its
present management about taking aides
in political contests in this State, ap
praises Gov. Sluton us a likely candi
date for the late A. 0. Bacon's unex
pired term in the U. S. Senate, and in
its leading editorial yesterday after
noon pays the Governor a fine tribute.
Praising his qualities as a man and his
qualifications for useful public service,
The Georgian says —
“The great offices which the August
primaries and the October election are
to fill are the Governorship of Georgia
and a Senator to (ill Augustus O. Ba-
con’H unexpired term.
“John M. Slaton is the present Gov
ernor of Georgia. This newspaper has
had abundant opportunity to study Gov.
Slaton ns an official and us a man. It
is fully impressed with the fact that,
by the record, neither Georgia nor the
South has any public man of whom it
has greuter reason to bn proud. He is
the legitimate and admirable product of
the beat politic* of the South. Slowly
and steadily, by hard working and hard
fighting methods, he has grown step by
step from tile ranks to a rulershin,
and from the white light of every pub
lic station lie has come out clean, capa
ble, and effective to the best interests
of the State, lie is young, vigorous in
mind and body, absolutely fearless in
public utterance, absolutely loyal in
personal friendship, and is the equal on
the hustings, in the forum and in seri
ous council to any contemporary pub
licist of his section or State. Ho has
<lone great service to the Common
wealth. For these reasons, which The
Georgian will he glad to elaborate as
the year goes on, this newspaper is for
Gov. Slaton's unopposed re-election as
Governor, if he should ask the second
term which Georgia has accorded to ull
good Governors.
“Or if Gov. Slaton should aspire to
fill the Senatorial chair left vacant by
Senator llacon’s death, The Georgian,
in full indorsement of his splendid re
cord nnd his admirable qualifications,
will cheerfully and heartily give him its
support for that position, without de
preciating in any way the merits anil
character of the able and useful Geor
gians who may be his competitors.
"The Georgian believes, and has said
some months ago, that Senator Hoke
Smith, by the national inlluenee he has
acquired, lias demonstrated that Geor
gia's position and power will be best
served by holding him in his place ns
long as he maintains his present stand
ard of capacity and leadership, and that
he unquestionably deserves an unop
posed re-election to his place in the
Senate. A public servant fully tried
should always be retained."
Gov. Slaton’s friends—those who are
really interested in his career—believe
the U. S. Senate would afford him
larger scope and better opportunities
for usefulness to his State than could
possibly avail by protracting his term in
the Governor’s office, and that he would
make a grave mistake not to seize the
chance now open to him to ndvnnce to
the higher station in the public service
made vacant by Senator Bacon's death.
It is not believed that Senator West,
now filling Senator Bacon's seat tempo
rarily, will be a candidate for the un
expired term. If this should prove to
he the case, the situation as to the
Senatorial succession would bo relieved
of any complications that might affect
Gov. Slaton's chances in the primary.
With West out of the way, neither
Hardwick, nor Felder, nor Cooper, nor
all three combined, would, in our judg
ment, be able to muster enough strength
to prevent Slaton's election.
Atlanta Constitution: “The report of
the American Audit Co., covering the
result of their examination of the office
and records of the State Treasurer, at
the instance of the Fidelity ami Deposit
Co., which is surety upon the official
bond of the Tr»asurer, conveys a mer
ited compliment to the ability and fidel
ity with which the duties of the office
have been administered by the incum
bent, Hon. W. J. Speer. Mr Speer
has held the position of State Treasurer
for a number of years, is one of the
most popular and efficient servants of
the Ststi* domiciled at the State Capi
tol. and the overwhelming majority by
which he was re-elected to the position
attests the appreciation of the people
of Georgia upon the manner in which
he has discharged the duties of his of
fice.''
One hundred and twenty-seven Geor
gia cities and towns of 1,000 population
and upward have one or more public
utilities serving the people, according
to information compiled by the Rail
road Commission for its annual report,
shortly to be issued. One hundred and
eighteen cities and towns are lighted by
electricity. Of this number seventy-
six have municipally owned plants,
while forty-two are supplied by plants
privately owned. Thirteen towns and
cities have gas plants. Of this number
only three are owned by the municipali
ties—Albany, Cartersville and Dalton —
while ten are owned by private com-
patnts.
So on* of l.eo Frank's defenders are
not only contending for a new trial,
but they want a change of venue. All
right; bring him ever to Coweta. There
will be no ground for grumbling or quib
bling regarding the quality of justice
dispensed here.
Wm. J. BurnR, the “greatdetective,”
employed to ferret out and explain the
alleged mystery surrounding the brutal
murder of poor Mary Rhagan, haR in
timated in several newspaper interviews
his belief in Leo Frank's innocence. Of
course. What else was he hired for?
If you want to see your name in
print write a letter to the Atlanta
Journal indorsing that paper's recent
editorial urging a new trial for Leo
Frank, the convicted murderer of lit
tle Mary Rhagan.
Voters Must Register for This Year’s
Elections.
Atlanta Cor. Macon Telegraph.
Atlanta, March 13. — Reports from
round and about the State indicate that
there is quite a deal of misunderstand
ing about the new permanent registra
tion law, many voters going upon the
assumption that having registered any
time within the past year or so renders
it unnecessary to register now.
As a matter of fact this is an incor
rect assumption, for the new law is not
retroactive, and in order to vote in elec
tions this year it is necessary for the
voter to go to the Tax Collector and
register now. Hereafter this regis
tration will be permanent so long as the
voter does not become disqualified under
the law.
(Inly about three weeks remain for
registering for primaries and elections
this year, and it behooves every man
who desires the right to vote and who
is not certain about his status to go to
the Tax Collector and get the facts.
Gov. Slaton himself recognizes the
importance of this matter and to-duy
gave out. an interview on the subject,
as follows:
“Those who wish to vote in this
year’s elections should not forget that
they must register, as heretofore, with
in six months of the general election in
October. The Act passed by the Leg
islature last summer providing perma
nent registration is not retroactive. It
applies only to those who registered af
ter the approval of that Act. Those
who were qualified to vote in 1912 or
even in 1913 are not permanently reg
istered, unless they have qualified again
by subscribing to the proper oath and
registered for 1914.
“Voters who qualify for the elections
of this year are permanently registered
hereafter so long as they comply with
other laws. But they must qualify for
this year just as if the permanent regis
tration Act hud not passed. In other
words, so far as the elections of 1914
are concerned, former registration laws
prevail entirely.
“Remember that those who would
vote in the State primary r* ust qualify
at least six months before the general
election in October. That election will
be held on Oct. 7. This means that
only about three weeks more time re
mains for registering.
"Those who are in doubt as to
whether they are qualified should see
their Tax Collector and be certain.”
Dr. F. M. Ridley, Sr., May Run For
State Senator.
Atlantn Countitution.
Dr., Frank M. Ridley, sr., of La-
Grange, is being urged to consent to
the use of his name for the Senate
from the Twenty-seventh district, it
being Troup county’s time this year
under the rotation system to name the
Senator from the district.
In addition to the local insistence
upon his candidacy, his friends through
out the State are interesting themselves
in the suggestion, and few men in
(liMirgia have a wider acquaintance than
Dr. Ridley. He is deeply interested
in State health and sanitary matters,
and has been prominently identified
with the progress of medical legislation
in Georgia.
It is said that if Dr. Ridley agrees to
become n candidate he will have no op
position.
Dr. Ridley graduated from the State
University in the class of 1874. He
won the Rhi Kappa medal for oratory
while at college. No man in Georgia
has been more distinguished along medi
cal lines. He has been president of the
State Medical Association, and was ap
pointed to the State Board of Health by
Gov. Terrell. He is now president of the
Stute Board of Medical Examiners, of
which he has been a member since he
was instrumental in having it estab
lished. In addition to his prominence in
his chosen field of work Dr. Ridley
has been sought by many political hon
ors. He was at one time tendered the
nomination for Congress from the
Fourth district, but declined it on ac
count of the fact that it would have
forced him to give up his medical prac
tice.
State Treasurer Speer Highly Com
plimented.
Atlnnta Georgian.
State Treasurer William J. Speer
has received a letter from the Fidelity
and Deposit Company, sureties on his
bond as State Treasurer, in which he
is complimented very highly on the fine
condition of his office, as reported to
the company following an examination
of it.
The company recently caused the
books of the Treasurer to be exhaus
tively examined by the American
Audit Company. After the audit
company’s report had been filed, a let
ter was sent to Col. Speer assuring him
that his official records were in fault
less shape, at d that all State funds en
trusted to him had been properly ac
counted for.
Mr. Speer has been Treasurer of
Georgia for many years. His associates
in the State House, including the Gov
ernor, warmly congratulated Col.
Speer on the report of the audit com
pany.
Commissioner Rainey Resigns From
State Executive Committee.
Albany Herald.
Editor E. 12 Rainey, of the Llawson
News, who ig serving an unexpired
term as State Rrison Commissioner,
will be a candidate to succeed himself
in the general primary this summer,
and, with a fine sense of propriety, has
tendered his resignation as a member
of the State Democratic Executive
Committee. Mr. Rainey is the only
member of the Stute Prison Board
whose term is now expiring, and he de
serves to succeed to tne full term with
out opposition. He has made good as a
member of the Rrison Board, and a
better man for the position would, be
hard to find.
Judge Revill to Oppose Judge'
Broyles.
Atlnnta Cor. Macon Telegraph.
News comes via Newnan to the
effect that there is strong probability
of Judge Henry Revill, of Greenville,
entering the race for the Court of Ap
peals, opposing Judge Nash R. Broyles,
of Atlanta, who is a candidate for the
term now being filled by Judge L. S.
Roan. It is the general impression
that Judge Roan will not he a candidate
for the position in the State primary.
His health has not been robust since he
left the Superior Court bench to take
up the onerous duties of the reviewing
court. His eyesight has troubled him
and it is Baid that Judge Roan has also
worried a great deal over the Frank
case. He is a conscientious man, and
those close to him say that this caBe
has given him much mental distress
and worry.
Judge Revill is quoted as saying that
he has been solicited to enter the race,
and he may do so. He is Judge of the
City Court of Greenville, where he has
made and is making a very fine record,
and, in addition, he edits the Meriwether
Vindicator, one of the oldest, ablest and
best known weeklies in the State. Judge
Revill haH friends all over Georgia, who
would accord him a cordial and hearty
support.
