All I_’im”ex}xl to ois 1o be the executive of.the peaple of the state.” ey 4 ‘ yMr Brown said that he did not r end to try to defeat any man who | ‘dpposed . him. He said that the eople did not send the represenas’ tiyes to the legislature to represnt % governor but to represent the jgople. He said that as a free ;f’.“_vnkiug people ‘every man had a ;}?'ht_tt‘) his own opinion, and that he as not going to try to defeat any fegislator who did not think as he &. When speaking' of the ques: gr'"'of a leader he said that the peo ‘ple of Georgia did not need a leader gbad,qs some ot the people thought they did, but what they wanted was é: tmtl; I have faath in the peo ple ot Georgia.V . « "4T¢ has'come to me that I'm to be the tool of some man or set of men. % wish to say that if I am going to ‘be g tool Iwill be the toot of the people of the state as a whole, 1 Will be the hammer and you the %fi;ii will be the hoe and you the ‘andle; 1 will be the trowel and you 44l be the strong arm to guide t. Lwill not mash the hand with the hammer, nor with the trowel, but will work for the upbuilding of busi ness and commercial industries all over the state. I will work for prosperity and wealth for the entire state. Isl am to be a tool I will sclect the hammer, trowel and hoe, ana will work fcr nothing but the n*erest ot the state at all times. I will not look out for any special interests, but will work for equal rights to all and special privileges to none.” Mr. Brown’s cohception of the duties of the Governor are not only sound, but he states the case admir ably. Heé shows that he is a Dem ocrat in the strongest scase of that word and that he believes in the people ruling. His ideas of con structive statesmanship are also what Georgia needs at this time. With an cxecutive working to build up industries, rather thap harass and frighten them away, there 1s no tel ling what Georgia will accomplish in growth and development during the rext few years, We verily believe that a new e poch is at band in the material well peing ot the state.—Valdosta Times.
