JOHN M. SLATON 801 FOR GOVERNOR IN «L CARD
John M. Slaton has issued "Ilia ior
rual announcement of his intention to
make the race lor governor.
He says that he had desired to keep
his candidacy in the background until
after the presidential primary, but
that pressure ot' letters from all over
the state persuaded him it was his
duty to make public, now, whether Ue
would be a candidate.
He indicates that he will not open
campaign headquarters Ar til after the
presidential primary.
As to his platform and policies, the
announcement docs not go into detail,
simply stating in a general way that
he stands on his record in the house
and senate and as acting governor,
that he favors a businesslike adminis
tration of the state’s affairs with spe
cial support for the agricultural and
educational interests, and that he will
seek the nomination on the time-hon
ored principle of the county unit plan.
This makes two announced candi
dates now in the field, Hen. Thomas
G. Hudson, resigned commissioner of
agriculture, having formally become
a candidate several days ago.
’Mr. Slaton will, with the ending
of 1912, have rounded out 17 years
of service in the general assembly.
The first 13 years of this long term
he was a member of the house and
‘he last four years he has been
in the senate. He was chairman
of the house judiciary committee for
seven years and was speaker of the
house for four years.
During Mr. Slaton's entire four
years in the senate he has been pres
ident of that body. He never had
position in his races for either speak
er of the house or president of the
senate.
For 75 days, the interim between
Governor Hoke Smith's resignation
and Governor Joseph M. Brown’s in
auguration, Mr. Slaton filled the gov
ernor’s chair.
Mr. Slaton’s ability as the presid
ing officer in both the house and sen
ate has been generally recognized.
His handling of the stormy debate in
the house during the discussion cf
the prohibition bill in 1908 was con
sidered so able and impartial that
both sides introduced resolutions com
mending him.
Mr. Slaton’s announcement follows:
To the People of Georgia: The wide
ly published report that 1 will be a
candidate for governor subject to the
August primary has brought to me
letters from all parts of the state ask
ing for a definite declaration of my
intention. It was not. my desire to
make any formal announcement until
af‘er the presidential primary, being
impressed, as I am, with the idea that
the people preferred to consider one
campaign at a time.
So general, however, has become
the demand' for a statement that I
believe it is proper for me to say
now that I will be a candidate, and
at the appropriate time I shall enter
upon a vigorous presentation of my
views on the issues which may be
involved in the race.
My record as a member cf the gen
eral assembly, as presiding officer of
each house for two terms and as act
ing governor for a brief period, is an
open book. If elected, I will contmue
to do all in my power to serve the
best interests of the state.
As governor it will be my special
endeavor to give the state an econom
ical and businesslike administration of
its affairs; to see, particularly, that
the agricultural and educational inter
l ests receive that liberal support nec
essary to general progress; that every
dollar expended on each department
of government shall yield to the people
. a dollar's worth of efficient service
and that not one penny of the public
' revenues is used to promote private
i or political interests.
I shall seek the nomination on the
! time honored principle of the county
> unit system of selection, for I believe
-this fundamental guarantee. Intended
'I for the equal protection of the rights
of every community in the state ami
written Into the constitution by our
forefathers, should be inviolably pre-
S?ry&d iu the spirit as well as in tho
letter. —
Later on, I will prepare a statement
dealing with all questions of public in
terest. Meanwhile, I declare my can
didacy for the office of governor for
the term beginning in June, 1913,
promising, if elected, to devote my
best efforts and concentrate my undi
vided energies to the end that the
state may be faithfully served.
JOHN M. SLATON.
COL WEST NAIS SUTON
Valdosta, Ga., March .—Stating
that he will not be in the race for
governor and advocating the candida
cy of Hon. John M. Slaton for that of
fice, Col. W. S' West cf Valdosta has
issued the following card:
“To thank many cf my political
friends who have solicited me to en
ter the race for governor in the com
ing primary to succeed Hon. Joseph
M. Brown, the incumbent, and to cen
vey to the press of the state my ap
preciation for the favorable mention
of my name as a candidate for gover
nor, is the object dT this communica
tion.
In making up my mind not to en
ter .the race at this time for gover
nor, I am sending up no wail from
south Georgia, for ray contention has
•always been, and I trust will ever be,
against sectionalism, and it is only
when the southern part of the state
shall advocate tho claims of a candi
k date for governor who is in every re
-1 spect as well equipped—as conserva
tive, as honest in purpose, as broad
minded, efficient and fair —that I shall
espouse his cause.
“Fulfilling all these requirements, :
! then. I say, south Georgia, nearing the
century mark since she has en'oyed
the distinction and, too, upon the eve I
of the realization of the marvelous
possibilities in the material growth ;
and development of this section, is
i once more entitled to the honor.
j “I appreciate the confidence of the ;
I people of Lowndes county and the
i Sixth senatorial district for the long
j senatorial service in the two branches ;
cf the legislature, and the people of
I Georgia for my election as president •
iof the state senate. 1 gave the same
. attention to the discharge cf the du
; ties in personal affairs in private lite,
i for I have ever regarded duty as one
: of the ‘greatest virtues, whether in
the private walks of life or struggling
' with the difficult problems arising for J
solution in the political arena, and
while I would like to be governor,
knowing the trials that lie in the path ,
of him who seeks the honor and the I
uncertainty attending the result, I
have decided not to enter the con- '
i test.
‘lt is well known that Hon. John M.
j Slaton will be in the race for gover- ;
nor. In addition to serving some years
in the house with him, he was speak
er of the house of representatives
while I was president of tho senate
in the years lS>'s-5. It was during
| this term of the legislature that eight
. new counties were created, and his i
i treatment of south Georgia in appolnt
j ing the committee on new counties
was fair.and impartial, and this is evi
i deuced by the fact that seven of these
j eight new counties are in south Geer-
81a.
“As a member of the house, as
speaker of the house of representa- ।
tives, as president of the state sen
ate, and—when there was an inter
regnum in the office of chief execu
tive of the state caused by the elec
tion of Governor Smith to the United i
States senate—as acting governor, he j
has always acquitted himself in such
a manner as to command the respect .
and merit- the approval of the public.
“With his past record, it is reason
i able to suppose, if he is elevated by
the electorate of Georgia to the of
flee of chief executive, his admin's- ■
■ tratiou of the state’s affairs will be
such as to hold the confidence of his j
friends. W. S. WEST.” ■
