Atlanta, Dec. 27.—Hon. Emerson George of Morgan county, who was a candidate for speaker of the last House in opposition to Speaker N. A. Morris, gave out an interview to-day in which he criticises the reply of Mr. Morris to Mr. Osborne as injudicious. He practically commends Mr. Osborne's course In seeking to reform the Demo cratic party within party lines. A great many of the votes for Mr. Morris were due to personal friend ship, Mr. George says, but he as serts that In his opinion, Mr. Morris could not have been elected without the influQtee of the corporations. But for the most earnest and bitter fight made by the corporations against Fondren Mitchell, Mr. George asserts, Mitchell would have been elected. Mr. George says the corporations did not fight him because they were too busy fighting Mitchell; but that they would have fought him if Mitchell had been out of the wav. Mr. George says there is much truth in what Mr. Osborne states, and the objectionable features should be elimi nated from the party. He concludes by declaring himself for Murphey Candler of DeKalb for President of the next Senate. For Wesley Memorial Hospital.
