TRYING TO SMOTHER 7HE HOR
SEY ROOM.
Judging from the character of stuff
filing Bent out from Atlanta every few
ciayB to various out-of-town newspa
pers, a press bureau has been estab
lished in that city to try to head off the
movement to make Hugh Dorsey Gov
ernor which is now sweeping the State
from one end to the other. Here is a
sample of the kind of rot referred to,
which appeared under an Atlanta date
line in a recent issue of the Savannah
I’rosH -
"A State-wide protest is being made
against a movement which is under
way in Atlanta to put Hugh Dorsey in
tiie gubernatorial race and make the
Mary f’hagan murder case a political
issue in the coming primary. Strong
political voices are also raised against
it here in Mr. Dorsey’s home communi
ty, and present, indications are that in
the face of this feeling Mr. Dorsey’s
proposed candidacy may not material
ize. The point is made that if Mr.
Dorsey runs at all, he would have to
run on the Frank case as a platform,
since he has never taken any part in
the political life of the State and is
known to the public at large purely and
solely through his connection with this
single case as Solicitor-General and
prosecuting attorney.”
That “strong political voices” are
being raised against Mr. Dorsey's can
didacy wo do not question for a mo
ment—especially among the politicians
supporting one or anothor of the sever
al candidates already in the field for
the office named—but Mr. Dorsey iB
not worried in the least by these raucus
plaints. For one “political voice”
raised in protest against his candidacy
there are thousands of earnest suppli
cations from the PEOPLE! that ho
merely put himself into their hands —
and they “will do the rest.”
This is the true situation, so far as
it involves the possible candidacy of
Mr. Dorsey for the Governorship. It
should he borne in mind that Mr. Dor
sey is not seeking the office—has never
intimated thnt he even desired prefer
ment of this character. Through all
the stress and excitement of the Frank
trial, and the complicated and bewil
dering phases of the case that have de
veloped since the conviction of the mur
derer, Mr. Dorsey has never lost his
head. He has nllowed nothing to dis
tract attention from his sworn duty as
State’s prosecuting attorney, or to
swerve him from the one purpose in
view, viz: To bring to the gallows the
guilty wretch responsible for the death
of little Mary Phagan. Unspoiled by
tlattery, ho has been equally unmoved
by the plaudits of the people for his
masterly conduct of the case, in which
be easily overmatched an array of legal
talent such as is rarely encountered in
a Georgia court-room. Needless to Bay,
nothing could have been farther from
his thoughts or wishes than that the
successful issue of the case should be
given a political turn. Ho would scorn
any advantage his official position might
give him to make a play for political
reputation. There is no denying the
fact, however, that his brilliant and
successful conduct of the Frank case
has won for him a State-wide fame—
has furnished an opportunity for the
display of an ability and a fearlessness
unsuspected and unappreciated by the
public at large until this chance came
his way. The popular demand for his
candidacy just now, therefore, is a
tribute to his ability as an advocate and
to his splendid manhood -qualities that
eminently fit him for the office of Gov
ernor. or for any station in public life
to which he may be called. The Frank
case is a mere incident in his career,
and should have no more bearing upon
the Governorship race than would any
other notable achievement in the line
of his official and professional duty. He
would regard with disfavor, if not con
tempt, any effort to make the Frank
case an issue in the campaign, if he
should decide to make the race for Gov
ernor. It would not be necessary. He
is big enough and brainy enough to run
upon his merits, and is the last man in
Georgia who would try to float into of
fice upon such an issue us his political
enemies are now seeking to frame up.
The Atlanta branch of the anti-Dor
sey junta will have to work overtime,
and adopt shrewder methods than it has
yet employed, if it hopes to head off
the Dorsey boom. Yes, sir-oe!
Hon. H. H. Dean, of Gainesville,
spent theother day in Atlanta. Speaking
of the Hugh Dorsey boom he said:
’’All Dorsey has to do is to write a
brief statement to the effect that he
favors law enforcement, is opposed to
delays in criminal cases, favors more
adequate laws to convict perjurers and
persons guilty of defeating the ends of
justice, and that he is too busy to en
gage in a personal campaign, but that
he is in the race for Governor. Such a
communication would cause the people of
Georgia to rally to him to a remarkable
degree. He would be elected beyond
alldouit.” That's what everybody is
saying.

Judge Nat Harris, of Macon, candi
date for Governor, resents keenly the
unjust imputation contained in a card
published by Hon. W. J. Harris, of Ce-
dartown, (also a candidate for the
Governorship,) that he (Judge Harris)
would be under the influence and sub
servient to the interests of the rail
roads if elected to that office. He has
challenged the Cedartown candidate to
meet him in joint debate and prove the
eh arge. The challenge had not been
accepted at last accounts.
The attempt to create the impression
that Hon. W. J. Harris is "Hoke
Smith’s man for Governor” is summa
rily disposed of by Senator Smith him
self, who, in a published statement,
says: “The candidacy of Mr. W. J.
Harris for Governor came as a surprise
to mo. I urged him to remain in the
office of Director of the Census, to
which he had been appointed partly
upon the recommendation of Senator
Bacon and myself. ItJs my intention
to have no part in unyone’s race for
Governor.”
Hon. Hugh Dorsey received a peti
tion yesterday signed by 169 citizens of
Folk county urging him to make the
race for Governor. Folk is the home
county of Hon. W. J. Harris, himself
a candidate for the Governorship.
Macon News: ”W. J. Harris started
out like he wanted a fight, and ho
ought to be satisfied now. He’s got it. ”
Hugh M. Dorsey Still Silent; Has
Much Hard Work Ahead.
Atlanta Constitution, 27th inut.
Hugh M. Dorsey still maintains ab
solute silence in regard to the guberna
torial situation and the frequent use of
his name in that connection. He has
ten days or two weeks of the hardest
kind of work before him, and it is im
probable that in the meantime he will
have a spare moment in which to con
sider any matter outside of his court
house duties.
Hut if Hugh Dorsey is silent, the
public is far from it. From all parts
of the State comes the clamor for him
to run.
The general opinion now is that Mr.
DorHcy'H friends will take the matter
in hand and put him in the race.
There is a persistent rumor afloat
that a monster mass meeting will be
called and that before Mr. Dorsey
knows it he will lie in the race and in
the hands of his friends.
One thing certain —in all this popular
clamor Mr. DnrHey has taken absolute
ly no part. He has stood aloof from it.
He has done nothing to stimulate it;
nothing to promote it. Therefore, it is
all the more remarkable.
He was seen by a Constitution re
porter Tuesday, and in reply to a point
blank question replied:
“1 liuve given the Governor’s race
no consideration —absolutely none. It
would be unfair for mo to do so at this
time. My first duty is to the office 1
hold, and there are many things which
1 must attend to before 1 shall be free
to think of other matters.”
As the days go by Mr. Dorsey’s mail
is still increasing. It has gotten en
tirely beyond him —it will take days for
him to even open the letters.
Popular State Official Who is “On
the Job.”
Cedartown Standard. 21»t Inst.
lion. J. D. Price, Georgia’s efficient
Commissioner of Agriculture, paid Ce
dartown a welcome visit yesterday, and
was kept busy shaking bands with his
many friends here.
Mr. Price is making a most useful
servant of the people. He is u practical
farmer himself, and lias the needs of
the farmer closely at heart. ”1 am
paying especial attention to the one
and two-horse farmers,” says Mr.
Price; "the tiig farmer doesn’t need
me quite so bad.
He is trying in every possible way
under the law to protect the farmers’
interests, and is making a genuine suc
cess of his work.
Mr. Price is a candidate to succeed
himself in the office which he is so suc
cessfully filling during his first term.
His formal announcement will soon ap
pear, and will certainly be cordially re
ceived in Polk county.
Disposing of “Little Joe” Brown.
Macon Telegraph.
It is a lutie amusing to see the com
ments in different papers of the State
regarding former Gov. Jos. M. Brown.
There is all kind of speculation as to
what he is going to do this year.
Many of his distinguished friends
(and former enemies,) are trying to
get Mm into the race for Governor.
They think he ought to run. Others
think lie ought to get in the mix-up
with Slaton, Felder, Hardwick, Cooper,
Willie Upshaw, and others.
Of course, there is tio room for a can
didate in any other field. In the mean
time, “Little Joe” Brown is attending
to his own business, fanning the tlies
off those who try to tread on him, and
looking after his crops between times.
It was "Little Joe” Brown who
taught President Wilson how to "watch
and wait."

State Treasurer Speer Widely In
dorsed for Re-election.
Henry County Weekly; "Hon. W.
J. Speer’s administration of the State’s
finances has been honest and business
like, every cent coming in and going
out having always been clearly and
strictly accounted for. Mr. Speer is a
gentleman of high purpose, undoubted
integrity, and pleasing bearing in his
contact with his fellows. He has hosts
of friends throughout Georgia, who
will give him a splendid vote of in
dorsement.”
Griffin News and Sun: “Mr. Speer
has scores of friends in Griffin and
Spalding county, as well as in other
sections of the State, who will lie glad
of an opportunity to vote for him ag-ain
for an office which he has filled so faith
fully and efficiently.”
Macon News: “While Mr. Speer re
fuses in his announcement to make any
fulsome remarks about himself, it is
unquestionably due him to say that he
has made a splendid record as State
Treasurer. There is no record any
where of Mr. Speer's conductor hia of
fice ever having been criticized.”
Barnesville News - Gazette: “Mr.
Speer has made an admirable record as
State Treasurer, and will make a fine
race again this year. The people have
confidence in him, and hosts of them
want to see him continue in theofiice.”
Sandersville Georgian: “State Treas
urer Speer has made a fine record and
deserves re-election. There is not a
more competent, faithful official in the
State, and all who know him admire
him. He is a splendid man, and has
many friends throughout the State.”

Who is Original Dorsey Man?
Atlanta Constitution.
First thing you know there will be
severul thousand persons claiming the
honor of being the original Hugh Dor
sey man—provided, of course, he de
cides to make the race for Governor.
Already there are quite a few who lay
claim to this distinction.
Spend half an hour or so with him on
the streets if you would get some idea
of the pressure that is being brought to
bear on him. His progress from the
court-house to lunch is invariably inter
rupted dozens of times by persons—to
tal strangers frequently—who want to
assure him of their support. Even his
meals are interrupted by persons who
want to shake his hand and feel him out
on his political aspirations.
It would be folly to say that Mr. Dor
sey has not been deeply gratified by the
many evidences of appreciation he has
received. He has. But his attitude is
still that of some weeks ago, when his
name first began to be mentioned. To
all inquiries he gives the assurance that
he has been too busy to give the mat
ter serious consideration. And this is
true.

Hartwell. Ga., May 26.—If Hon.
Hugh M. Dorsey, of Atlanta, makes
the race for Governor of Georgia he
will have a strong following in Hart
county and this section of tile State.
In iiis early boyhood lie attended
school in Hartwell. It was then that
his strong mentality and sterling inoval
character was made manifest. His old
friends, and many new ones, will rally
to him.
His sister married Dr. S. B. Vow, of
Lavonia, in the adjoining county of
Franklin. Dr. Yow, as well as being
one of the wealthiest citizens of this
section, is one of the most popular, and
would wield a large influence for Dor

I want to tell you how much good
your Swamp-Root did me. About four
years ago I suffered from what the
doctors called fistula, and for two years
of that time I endured what no tongue
can tell. I also had inflammation of the
bladder and I tried doctors’ medicines
without receiving any help. Someone
told me about Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-
Root.
After giving it a thorough trial, I re
ceived relief, so kept on using it and to
day I am a strong and well woman. If I
ever feel badly or out of sorts I take
Swamp-Root and it always straightens
me out. I honestly believe that this
medicine would cure all troubles you
recommend it for, and it is a pleasure
for me to send mv testimony and photo
graph to you. I think Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root is one of the greatest
medicines on earth.
