MR. WRIGHTS PLATFORM.
In the opening speech of his campaign
at l.aGrange on Monday last Hon. W.
C. Wright announcetl th<* following as
the platform upon which ho bases his
candidacy for Congress
“I favor the enactment of a law pro
viding for a system of rural credits,
whereby the farmer may borrow money
on his land on long time and at a low
rate of interest.
“I approve the law enacted during
I he present Administration which re
vised and reformed the tariff - ; and I fa
vor the Democratic policy of a tariff
for revenue only, fixing the duties lower
on the necessities of life than upon the
luxuries.
"A high protective tariff is the moth
er of trusts, and the formation of the
numerous trusts which have been sap
ping our commercial life were made
possible by the Republican tariff. I fa
vor the policy of the present Adminis
tration in its efforts to break up theRe
unlawful combinations in restraint of
trade.
"1 am opposed to negroes holding
Federal offices of any character.
“I favor the extension and improve
ment of the free rural mail delivery
system.
"I favor the parcel post, and such
extension of the system as will result
in the greatest good to the greatest
number.
"I am in favor of farm demonstra
tion work, under the approval of the
United Stutes Department of Agricul
ture.
"1 am in hearty accord with the
movement to secure appropriations
from the Federal Government for the
construction of good roads, and if elec
ted will use my host efforts to secure
such appropriations.
“I am in favor of the currency re
form law enacted during the present
Administration, and believe it will re
sult in preventing financial panics and
stringency in our money markets.
“I am in favor of the regulation, hut
not the confiscation, by the Government
of interstate transportation and public
utility companies.
“I am opposed to Federal Judges be
ing appointed for life.
"I believe public officers should be
the servants of the people.
“At the expiration of his present
term my honorable opponent will have
been in Congress from this district for
eighteen years, and will have drawn as
salary during that time $107,501). Don’t
you think it is time to make a change?"
I’retty sound platform for an old-
fashioned Democrat to stand on, don't
you think? This seems to be the gen
eral opinion, judging from the way the
voters of the district are rallying to
Mr. Wright’s support.
O, we are not through with this cam
paign yet not yet.
77/A’ WAR IN EUROPE.
Nearly the whole of Europe is aflame
with war, the detuils of which are too
voluminous and distracting to be cov
ered in the limited space available to
the average country weekly. With Ger
many and Austria-Hungary arrayed
u|>on one side, and Russia, Frunce, Eng
land, Belgium, Servia and Montenegro
upon the other, the struggle for su
premacy promises even at this early
stsge to be the most devastating war
that the Christian world hus ever known.
While the conflict was provoked by Aus
tria-Hungary, the nations of Europe
attribute the rupture t-> the sinister
machinations of Germany, operating
through its Teutonic neighbor and ally,
lte this as it may, the dreadful issue
has been made, the ‘‘dogs of war”
have been loosed, and all Christendom
stands appalled at the frightful waste
of life and treasure that the nations in
volved must suffer in the final compu
tation of losses that will inevitably fol
low, with nothing gained save the
empty glory of compiest.
(’resident Wilson has tendered to the
warring (lowers the good offices of this
Government us mediator, in the inter
est of a peaceful adjustment of the dif
ferences that provoked the conflict, but
it is not believed that his friendly offer
will be accepted by either of the na
tions involved. Germany, which is real
ly responsible for the war, has gone too
far to turn back. Her “war lord" has
been strutting before the world for
twenty years with a chip on his shoul
der, and now he will have to reckon not
only with an armed force superior in
numbers and lighting ability to that of
Germany and Austria-Hungary com
bined, but with the sympathy and sen
timent of all peace - loving nations
against him.
Germany has been a menace to the
peace of Europe for more than a decade,
and tranquil conditions in that country
will not be permanently assured until
she has been practically wiped off the
map. Unless all signs fail, this is the
penalty she w ill ultimately have to pay.
So be it.
tjjick to take action where the in
terests of the farmers of his State and
section are endangered, Hon. J. D.
Price, Commissioner of Agriculture,
has cafled a meeting of the Association
of Commissioners of Agriculture for
the Southern States to meet for the
purpose of devising means and to agree
upon some concert of action to protect
the farmers of the South from loss or
financial embarrassment in marketing
the present crop of cotton. Just what
measures of relief will be adopted to
meet the situation can only be deter
mined after the association has had op
portunity to go into the matter thor
oughly, but the movement is an emi
nently sensible one, and Commissioner
Price is to be commended for his
promptness in starting it. The effect
of the European war upon the South's
chief money crop is fraught with grave
possibilities, although it is hoped that
means will be found to avert any seri
ous danger that may threaten this
great industry.
Hon. Garland M. Jones proved his
value as a useful and vigilant legisla
tor when he took a determined stand in
the House last week in opposition to a
bill to increase the per diem of mem
bers of the General Assembly from $4
to $7. He was the only member to
make a speech against the measure, hiB
contention being that the present con
dition of the State’s finances did not
authorize the proposed salary grab,
(for it could be called nothing else.)
The measure was defeated, thus saving
to the taxpayers of the State $35,000 to
$ 10,000 per annum. The bill had strong
support in the House, and, but for Mr.
Jones’ spirited opposition, might have
passed. Good work.
In his canvass of the district Hon.
W. C. Wright, candidate for Congress,
is receiving the warmest encourage
ment in all quarters. However, he is
taking nothing for granted, and is
meeting the people face to face, both
at his speaking appointments and in
the very effective house to house can
vass he is conducting. In fact, he is
making a whirlwind campaign, and
wherever he goes his pathway is strewn
with wreckage for the opposition. If
you don’t believe Wright is some run
ner, just try to keep up with him.
The entire nation mourns with Presi
dent Wilson in the deep bereavement
occasioned by the death of his beloved
wife, which occurred at the White
House yesterday afternoon at 5 o’clock.
She had been ill for several months.
This affliction, corning upon the Presi
dent at a time when he wus already
weighed down by the cares and anxie
ties of an unusually turbulent period
through which his administration has
been passing for several months past,
is more than sorrowful. It is pathetic.
The Carroll County Adamson Club
boasts a membership of two thousand —
mostly on paper. That isn’t a marker
to the three thousand sturdy Coweta
Democrats who are backing Hill Wright
for Congress, nor has it been found
necessary to make a house to house
canvas in order to secure pledges of
support either, as is being done over in
Carroll.

Commissioner of Agriculture, is a far

farm. In our opinion he deserves an

The Legislature will adjourn next
Wednesday.
Card From Hon. Garland Jones.
To the voters of Coweta county: In
the race for re-election to the General
Assembly it is my earnest desire to see
personally every voter in the county,
but on account of the Legislature being
in session until after Aug. 12, (only
live days before the primary,) it will
be impossible for me to do so.
Because of the large amount of im
portant legislation still upon the calen
dar, vitally affecting the interests of
Coweta county, as well ns the State of
Georgia, I am compelled to remain at
the capitol every moment of the present
session.
I appreciate the confidence of my
constituents, and assure you, if re
elected, I shall continue to' stnnd for
economy in all alfairs of the State, the
keeping of the expenses of the State
below the revenues, the payment of
taxes equally by the people and coun
ties of the State, the reduction of the
tax rates, and passage of only sane and
sound legislation which will help the
people of Coweta county.
Yours truly,
Garland M. Jones.

Bill Wright is one of the ablest men
in Georgia, and just as clean as he is
able. He is essentially a man of the
people, and of the highest class Con
gressional timber. He is a hard lighter,
well built for endurance, and is going
to make things hum in the Fourth. He
has many friends in Meriwether, who
are actively supporting him.

The spirit of rotation is strong among
Democratic people, and if Mr. Adam
son should be "rotated out” this time
he would be broader-minded than to
think the people do not appreciate his
services merely because they do not
see fit to make his job one of life ten

Buena V.ata Patriot.
In this week’s issue of The Ratriot
appears the announcement of Hon. W.
C. Wright, of Newnan, far Congress
from the Fourth district. The an
nouncement of Mr. Wright occasioned
very little surprise, as it has long been
known that there was strong opposi
tion to Judge Adamson. There is a
feeling throughout the district that he
should be retired to private life. For
eighteen years he has represented the
district, and The Patriot can see no
reason why he should receive further
consideration. Hon. W. C. Wright is
one of the leading lawyers of the State,
his ability is unquestioned, while his
public and private life are above re
proach. Reports from over the district
indicate Mr. Wright’s nomination on
Aug. 19, while Marion county will give
him a splendid majority.
Carroll County Times.
In this week’s Times is the an
nouncement of Hon. W. C. Wright,
seeking the nomination for Congress
from this district. Will Wright is
a native of Carroll county; a man
that we are all justly very proud of; an
able attorney, a clean man and a
Christian gentleman. Under different
conditions, there is no man in the
Fourth district for whom we had rather
vote. Indeed, there is no other man
but Charles Adamson for whom we
would vote, with Will Wright in the
race, and it has been, and is yet, our
hope that he shall succeed Charles, but
not at this time. Should he receive
the nomination and election he will
make a Congressman of whom the
State and district will be proud. No
man questions his ability; no one doubts
that he would make an able and in
fluential Congressman, of whom the
entire State would be proud.

Carroll County Indorses Adamson
for Congress.
Responding to the call of Hen. W. O.
Perry, chairman of the Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee of Carroll county,
one thousand Carroll county voters as
sembled at the court-house at Carroll
ton on Aug. 4. and by rising vote unan
imously adopted a resolution indorsing
Hon. W. C. Adamson for Congress,
and pledging him their support in the
coming primary.
A Carroll County Adamson Club was
organized, with Hon. C. E. Roop, So
licitor of the City Court of Carrollton,
as president, and Adamson headquar
ters were established in the Roop build
ing. Before the sun went down on the
day of organization the club member
ship had reached 2,O0().
A number of able addresses were de
livered by prominent citizens of the
county in behalf of Judge Adamson’s
candidacy, all of which were enthusias
tically received by the large number of
voters present.
The spontaneous interest manifested
in Judge Adamson’s candidacy, and the
voluntary pledges of support tendered,
leave no doubt as to the attitude of the
voters of Carroll county. The voters
of Carroll may have their friendly dif
ferences over some issues, but when it
comes to Chas. Adamson they are uni
ted.
