BROWN & CARPENTER, kiiitoiih a no rtim.niiir.itK. 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. LONE OAK. Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Culpepper and little daughters, with Mr. and Mrs. E. C.
