POINTED EXTRACTS FROM
8LATON'S ANNOUNCEMENT.
Tho following are some pertinent extracts from Governor Slaton’s for
mul announcement of Ills candidacy:
"While holding the nation In reverent regard, I cannot forgot that I am
first a Georgian, and I believe that ouch state and community should govern
Itself so far as Is compatible with the public Interests.
"This principle of general government I have endeavored to Illustrate In
both official and political capacity, and only rocontly urged upon the State
Executive Committee of our party the primary Importance of preserving
tho full pollt'cul rights of oven the smallest county. And I am pleased to
note that In the rules adopted for determining the contest In which 1 shall
ho engaged, such Is done 111 conformity to the platform upon which I was
nominated for Governor.
"Tho products of Georgia soil, as the products of all American soli and In
dustry, should find ossler access to the markets of the world, and enlight
ened statesmanship should contribute to that end.
"My creed rests In the established principles of democracy.
"1 have, both as legislator and executive, especially streBsod the practical
wisdom of an economical administration of government and am gratified
by the reflection that during my administration for the first time In many
years, the expenditures of the state of Georgia have been reduced.
"Inducement to extravagance In the administration of public fnnds Is
subtle and often, apparently, compelling, and tho tendency to extravagance
In the administration of national affairs has been appalling.
"As senator, particularly shall I be opposed to tho further extension of
tho Federal pension system to meet an appetite which can not be satiated
and whoso greed now threatens to Include as wards of the government even
the descendants of original pensioners.
"I Bholl favor all measures tending to Improve our greatest Industrty—
agriculture. And tho farmers need nothing more than tho privilege, right
fully theirs, to obtain monoy at the Interest rates allowed other Industries;
und 1 shall favor such rural credit systems as will enable them to do this.
"It it shall be tho will of tho peoplu of my state that I become one of
their representatives in the Uultod States Senate, I shall diligently strive
to avail myself of every opportunity to develop every lnterst of Georgia.
"Until tho election I shall bo occupied in caring for the public Interests
entrusted to mo as Governor, lining thus prevented from engaging In an
active pemon&l canvass, 1 submit my candidacy, in all confidence, to the
peoplo of Georgia.”

the gonornl assembly for sixteen years. Ho was speaker of the house
and president of tho state senate continuously for eight years, having been

between the retirement of Senator Hoke Smith and the second Installation

As president of the sonato he east the deciding vote In that body for the
Income tax amendment which has since become a part of the Federal Con

He wns called to tho governor's office In the summer of 1912 by a vote
of the people so overwhelming that It might be said to have been unanimous.
If there Is one thing ho may bo sold to have stixxl for more than another, It
Is the prompt payment by the stato of Its obligations; and his chief work

by him and already adopted by the legislature. It Is believed, will accom-
I pllsh this.
HOW GEORGIA NEWSPAPERS
VIEW HIS CANDIDACY.
Out of twenty-throo dally papers in the state, not half a dozen have de
clared uKalnat Mr. Slaton. Two of these are the home papers, respect
ively, of his opponents. More than one-half of the daily papers are for him.
A largo proportion —perhaps two-thirds of the weekly newspapers which
have declared themselves, are supporting Mr. Slaton.
I Advertlaamt'nt. 1
Health a Factor in Success.
The largest factor contributing to a
man's success is undoubtedly health. It
has been observed that a man is sel
dom sick when his bowels are regular
he is never well when they are consti
pated. For constipation you will find
nothing quite so good aa Chamberlain's
Tablets. They not only move the
bowels hut improve the'appetite and
strengthen the digestion. They are
sold by all dealers.
Rheumatism Quickly Cured.
“My sister's husband had an attack
of rheumatism in his arm,” writes a
well-known resident of Newton, Iowa.
''I gave him a bottle of Chamberlain's
Liniment, which he applied to his arm,
and on the next morning the rheuma
tism was gone." For chronic muscu
lar rheumatism you will find nothing
better than Chamberlain's Liniment.
Sold by all dealers.

J. Randolph Anderson, of Savannah, Candidate for Governor.
Since announcing his candidacy for
governor, J. Randolph Anderson of Sa
vannah, has received the most encour
aging assurances of support from prac
tically every section of the state.
Mr. Anderson’s candidacy lias met
with enthusiastic reception In North
Georgia, where he has a farm at Ma
rietta, upon which he spends much of
his time, as well as in the Southern
section where he lives. If early Indi
cations In the campaign mean any
thing, Mr. Anderson already seetns to
be running a winning race.
Many of the newspapers of the state
are already actively supporting him
and others have volunteered to do so.
MR. ANDERSON’S
ANNOUNCEMENT.
In Ills formal announcement of his
candidacy for governor, Mr. Anderson
says:
"Savannah, Ua., April 15, 1914.
“To the People of Georgia:
“I beg leave to announce myself as
a candidate for the Governorship,
subject to the regulations of the next
general primary.
‘‘In asking to be entrusted with what
I consider to be the highest honor in
the gift of our people, I am glad to
feel that my candidacy Involves no
factional Issues and should arouse no
factional spirit. The spirit of fac
tionalism has happily about died
away In Georgia, and in the state, as
In the nation, we Democrats are lined
up with practically unbroken ranks In
support of the great measures our
party is taking for the common good.
I am able therefore to come before you
Htmply as a Georgian and a Democrat,
who aspires to devote his best ener
gies and talents to the welfare, and
upbuilding of his native state.
"Our material growth during the
past three decades has been so rapid
and so great that In some respects
we have outgrown the provisions
made by our laws, and in conse
quence the state and Its institutions
are in some directions being ham
pered and held back. Georgia's great
need today Is that her people should
have a period of political rest In
which to have the time and oppor
tunity to concentrate their attention
and efforts upon a thorough over
hauling and readjustment of her busi
ness methods and system. We need
to apply ourselves for a time to put
ting our house and affairs In order,
to prepare for the larger growth of
the state that Is pressing upon us.
SEES AN END OF
POLITICAL STRIFE.
"We have had a surfeit of political
strife. Let us now for a while de
vote ourselves to measures for
bringing the sunshine of prosperity
to all the various business activities
of the state and Into the homes and
lives of her Individual citizens. 1
will endeavor to invite your atten
tion to these matters more in detail
during the progress of the campaign.
My long service In the house and
senate, since 1905, has made me famil
iar with the affairs and needs of the
state and has qualified me to be of
service to you aB Governor.
“Circumstances have arisen under
which, by operation of law, the duty
may be devolved upon me of serving
as Acting Governor for some part of
the current term. This would re
quire me to leave my home and sur
render my profession and all business
connections. Such a contingency nat
urally prompts me to seek election
for the next regular term and gives
me, I trust, some personal claim to
ask for It, so that I may at least be
allowed to remain In office long enough
to be given a fair trial both as to my
desire and as to my ability to serve
you well.
PROHIBITION QUESTION
ALREADY SETTLED.
"Some Inquiry has been made as to
how far the prohibition question may
be Involved in my candidacy. 1 wish
to state that it is not involved at all.
Prohibition should no longer be con
sidered a political Issue In Georgia. It
has become a matter of established
law, and I think most of the prohibi
tion leaders now agree that the law Is
sufficient and that continued political
agitation of the subject is no longer
needed, and would be unwise. No sub
stantial demand exists anywhere in
Georgia for its repeal, and It should
be regarded as an Issue that Is now
settled and behind us.
“If I am elected, it will be my duty
to regard and treat the prohibition
law as one of the settled, established
laws of the state, and In this, as in
all other matters, I will try to dis
charge my duty faithfully, fearlessly
and fully.

In 1864, after the U. S. S. “Wachu-
setts” had entered the harbor of Bahia
and deliberately seized the Confederate
cruiser “Florida,” a demand came
from Brazil for a “solemn and public"
disavowal of the act, the dismissal of
the American naval commander, a sa
lute of 21 guns to the Brazilian flag,
and the return of the “Florida" and
her crew. The latter requirement could
not be fulfilled, the Confederate cruiser
having accidentally sunk after her cap
ture; but every other demand was met
by President Lincoln and Secretary
Seward.

Pleasure and Protection
“One of the best reasons why I would not be
without telephone service,” writes a Georgia far
mer, “is the pleasure it gives my wife and the
knowledge that while I »m away, she has the pro
tection that the telephone gives.”
On the farm the telephone dispels loneliness
and is the means of bringing help in any emer
gency that piay arise.
If you haven’t a telephone on your farm see
