All is not a gold brick that glit
ters. Borne Tribune.
No. Much of it is only the
promises of professional politicians.
While the News does not seri
ously object to tin* cartoons in the
Journal and Constitution, it is
compelled to draw the line at tin-
alleged poetry that accompanies
the Constitution’s pictures. It is
sufficient to cause any constant
reader to desire to commit suicide.
Momc squeamish folks are vis
isbly agitated by the political car
toons appearing in the Journal and
Constitution. While it is true
they cannot be classed as works of
art and may offend good taste,
still, the gentlemen who are being
cartooned are not losing any sleep,
so why should art critics mourn?
The way State newspapers and
politicians opposed to Hoke Smith
love all tiie other candidates is af
fecting. It is almost sufficient to
draw tears from the eyes of a brass
monkey. Only the most strenu
ous efforts of election officers will
prevent lots of these fellows from
voting in the primary for Col. Ms-
till, Judge Bussell, Dr. Nuunally
and Jim Smith—and—perhaps—
for Howell.
The News favors a fair, square,
I open,honorable contest in the elec
tion of every public official, from
governor down to bailiff. The
men who win in contests of that
kind deserve the offices and will
doubtless (ill them to the satisfac
tion of the people. Men who win
offices by deception, trickery and
the mutitudiuous practices of pro-
, fessional politicians are never
worthy of the oiliees entrusted to
them and never fill these positions
witli fidelity to the people.
One of the most ridiculous inci
dents of the gubernatorial cam
paign is the Constitution's etlbrt to
make capital against the dis
franchisement issue by exploiting
the bill to reduce Southern repre
sentation in Congress. Mimilar
lulls have been introduced at al
most every session of (‘ongress
during the past twenty years.
They have all failed, and this
latest bill will never pass. If
passed, it would la* unconstitu
tional. as representation in Con
gress is based upon population and
not upon the number of voters, or
number of votes east, in a Congres
sional district. Tin* Constitution
is well aware ol these facts; and its
etVorts to club the voters of Geor
gia into submission to its wishes
with this infamous bludgeon of
Northern manufacture is one of
the smallest and dirtiest jobs the
Constitution lias undertaken in
this campaign.

If there is any one agency in the
State of Georgia to be blamed for
the unseemly gubernatorial race
now under full steam in Georgia,
it is the Georgia Railroad Commis
sion. The people of the State,from
the mountains to the coast, have
'supplicated at the feet of this trio
ot weaklings for some kind of jus
tice at their hands. They have
repeatedly protested against dis-
I crimination in matter of freight
rates and hearing after hearing
has been had with the same old
stereotyped report.
In mo single instance has the de-
j mauds of the people of Georgia
j been given the proper attention by
; the com mission, who sit in Atlanta
j and apparently spend more of their
time boosting one of the candidates
for governor than they do in serv-
| ing the people whose servants they
; are.
Enterprising business men all
over Georgia who are posted on
the true situation have gone lie-
fore the commission; Griffin and
Columbus and Macon have all filed
protests and countless other com
plaints have been lodged in At
lanta, but they invariably fall up
on deaf ears and probably lind
lodgement in a convenient waste
basket in the office of the commis
sion.
The result is that Hoke Smith,
seeing the position of the commis
sion, made its lethargy the sub
ject of attack and inculcated in
bis platform a demand for better
freight rates in Georgia. It is
conceded that he today is the
leading candidate in the race for
governor and one of the reasons is
that the people of Georgia are
tired and sick of this present rail
road commission and are going to
rebuke it by voting for the man
who is making a light on it.—
Brunswick News.
Dr. Nunnally’s Criffin
Speech.
(From the Griflln Daily Call.)
Dr. G. A. Nunnally’s address
Saturday morning, while a strong
one in many respects, was disap
pointing, in Uiat^lie did not advo
cate any definite policy of state
government not already announced
by his opponents. His principles
were enunciated in general terms,
and in but one instance was he
definite. That was his disapprov
al of free passes.
More than one-half of his time
was devoted to intemperate abuse
of Hon. Hoke Smith, and in order
to make his abuse effective he mis
represented Mr. Smith's position
on several issues.
Dr. Nnnnally accuses Mr. Smith
of wobbling on railroad regula
tion, while every one knows that
Mr. Smith is now just where he
was at the beginning, not for con
fiscation but for domestication.
Mr. Smith desires to compel do
mestication by enacting a statute
to prevent foreign corporations do
ing railroad business in Georgia.
Of course every one knows that
the effect of this would be that
the foreign corporations would file
their charters in Georgia, and thus
become amenable to state laws
and courts.
Hr. Nnnnally further accuses
Mr. Smith of advocating the dis
franchisement of illiterate whites,
while just the reverse is true. Mr.
Smith’insists that this is a white
man’s country; that the negroes
should never have been given the
ballot, and he advocates such
measures as will effectually undo
that wrong, but at the same time
preserve the ballot to every white
man, on account of his inherent
qualities of character and love of
liberty.
But the most bitter assault Dr.
Nnnnally makes on Mr. Smith is
his connection with the Piedmont
Hotel in Atlanta. Dr. Nnnnally
failed to say what he knew to be
true, that Hon. Hoke Smith was a
minority stockholder in that com
pany; that when the hotel was
built the stockholders did not in
tend to run a hotel, but afterward,
when they could not lease it, they
were compelled to do so, and Mr.
Smith at that time protested
against installing a bar, and when
the majority of the stockholders
forced it, he compelled them to
keep separate accounts of the bar,
and that he had always Refused to
touch a cent of this money, but
gave direction that those operating
it apply what would otherwise
come to him, to charitable pur
poses. What more could he have
done? Dr. Nuunally is not adding
anything to his own reputation
for fairness when he so unneces
sarily abuses an honorable op
ponent for what he cannot help.
