urge an appropriation for a Georgia

Thr mmissioner went before i

Atlanta representation in Fan Francis

Commissioner Brown said that he
had visited 28 states thus far In the in

usual success. lb- was informed at
the state capitol that a peculiar pro
vision in the Georgia, constitution
make- it impossible for the Georgia
legislature to appropriate money to be
used for a state building. Georgia, it
seems, has never been represented at
any of the many expositions, except lug
through the action of public bodies,
such as boards of trade and civic as
sociations.
If it is found it is absolutely Impos
sible for the state to provide for a
Georgia exhibit in Sun Francisco, the
Atlanta Chamber ol Commerce will
take steps at once to interest other
trade bodies throughout the state in
raising a fund to obtain Georgia r«q.-

Such action was recently taken by
several associations 11 the state to

’SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
There seems to be a more or less
rampant desire upon the various pa
triotic citizens here and there to know
the names of that famous "committee"
responsible for Thomas G. Hudson’s fa
tal plunge into the stormy sea of Geor
gia politics gubernatorialwise.
Some esteumed contemporaries have
sought to clothe this matter in a garb
of baffling mystery’. The result has
been, of course, a growing demand that
the list be made public.
Sidelights being the occasional Sher
lock Sleuth of The Georgian staff, see
ing in this thing an opportunity to pull
something big. got right on the trail
of the conspirators, and. with accus
tomed sagacity, obtained the names.
It was a tough job to get them—
Sidelights actually had to walk right up
to Frank Reynolds, erstwhile publicity
manager for Hudson, and ask for them.
Here they are:
Judge George Hillyer,
Shelbv Smith,
H. Kelly.
Reuben R. Arnold,
W. Woods White,
I’. A. Methvln,
R. J. Guinn,
Bolling H. Jones.
E. <’. Callaway.
J H. Patterson,
John S. Candler,
H. Y, McCord.
J. L. .Mayson.
Aldine < ’hambers,
ft. J. Griffin.
John A. Boykin.
W. M. McKenzie.
These are the gentlemen reported re
sponsible for Mr. Hudson’s leaving his
congressional race and entering the gu
bernatorial scramble.
They are the gentlemen alleged to
have promised Hudson “political arid
linuncial backing" in quantity sufficient
to put Hudson over.
They are tire gentlemen a majority
of whom are alleged to have been vis
ited by a serious and prostrating at
tack of "cold feet." as the Hudson cam
paign failed to progress as scheduled.
Are they guilty as charged in the
indict merit ?
Right here seems a tine place to ring
in that ancient and familiar thing, "As
Kipling says, ’That is another story!’ ’
"Sometimes methinks ambition’s
wine is sweet.
And fashioned for such amorous
lips as mint ;
And then again 1 think it not so
fine
1 drink it and my friends acquire
’cold feet!’"
Rubaiyat of Tom Hudson.
John M. Slaton has had a remarka

Ho began his legislative experience
in 1896, and has been continuously

•since a member of that honorable body.
He was twice elected speaker of the
house and twice president of the sen
ate. In no one of these four elections
did he have opposition.
His short, term in the governor's of
flee, held by reason of Governor Smith’s
resignation and pending the election ol
Mr. Smith’s successor, was marked by
no untoward incident that can in any
wise hurt him or adversely affect him
in his present ambition, on the con
trary. such short record a’s he made in
the governorship was all to his credit
In the hotel lobbies nowadays they
art- referring to Slaton as the "luckies
fellow” ever In Georgia politics. It is
pointed out that he "never has had op
position for anything," and that “plums
just naturally drop Into his lap.”
There are a great many people, how
ever, who are beginning to suspect—
if they' never suspected ft before—that
there is much more than mere "luck”
involved in a career as successful and
yet as devoid of strife as Mr. Slaton’s
has been.
One of his big assets seems to be an
ability’ to tie on friends with cords that
can not be broken. He has, in his long
years of legislative service, made him
self known t.ivorably to thousands of
Georgians—many of them those very
men, too. to whom Mrs. W. Y. Atkinson
once unfortunately—but truthfully—re
ferred as “the men who control” In
Georgia.
It looks as if the governor's race is to
develop Into a runaway for Slaton.
Far from the madding crowd’s ig
noble strife. Colonel S. Guyt McLendon
daily meets his friends and takes his
ease.
The storms that beat about the houses
of those who play the game of polities
vehemently and with wearing enthu
siasm—they who go the pace that kills
—come not at all to the house of Mc-
Lendon.
In the Kimball house lobby Colonel
McLendon holds daily a sort of calm
levee, and keeps in touch w ith what is
going on.
There are few men in Georgia who
are better posted than he on political
topics, big and little. He is perhaps,
the highest authority on the tariff ques
tion in Georgia today. His views are
not shared by all Georgians -for he be
lieves frankly in a protective tariff, as
against so-called free trade—but it is
not always a safe undertaking to argue
with him, for he has facts and figures
in most bewildering profusion, with
which to silence and confound most un
expectedly now and then.
Colonel McLendon takes an active in
terest in politics, and he knows the
Georgia, game just about as well as the
next one, at that. He has his likes and
his dislikes, and he never talks to
empty benches, so to speak.
The thing Mr. McLendon would give
a good deal to know right now is all
the ins and outs, the pros and cons,
and all the its and amis of the col
lapse of the Hudson campaign.
But he doesn't; and in that he has
nothing much on anybody else, per
haps.
COUNCIL BLAMED
FOR BAD SCHOOLS
i
Builders Trace Poor Condition
of Houses to Meager Ap
propriations.
R. M. Walker president of the Build
ers' Exchange, said today that the re
port of that body, stating the cause of
the bad condition of the bond Issue
schools to be the short appropriations
for the buildings by council, would be
submitted to the board of education
and the bond commission as evidence
when these bodies meet to determine
who is responsible.
F. A. Quillian, chairman of the bqnd
commission, said that no meeting
would be called until Building Inspector
Hayes had completed his investigation
of all the schools.
Blame Placed on Council.
“The language of our report is mild,”
said Walker. "The great trouble with
the school buildings was caused by the
penuriousness of council. We want to
reply to the attacks made on the con
tractors and to urge that the city be
more liberal in financing such improve
ments in the future.”
F. A. Quillian declared that when the
report of the defects in the schools was
submitted he would demand that the
contractors make good their contracts.
Buildings Not Fire-Proof.
Said Building Inspector Hayes:
"It will take considerable work to
repair some of the buildings I have
inspected. There is a great deal of
merit in the statement of the Builders'
Exchange that the buildings were con
structed too cheaply. They are not
tire-proof and never will be wha’ they
should be.”

Late guests are most cordially wel

and pi'overb books. Everything is ready
for you.
Well, the pleasure of everybody's pres
ence at the Great Puzzle party is still most
cordially requested. The party has been
going on eight weeks notv and none of the
contestants of the party has reported that
he is weary of it.
On the contrary, those who have been
waltzing merrily along since the begin
ning of the contest have brought in, by
their generous enthusiasm, many new
guests, who find the fun of solving the
picture puzzles as much of an inducement
as the rich favors that are to be given
away at the close of the party.’
The late guests, are just as welcome as
can be. They lend new spirit to the en
tertainment.
Now, you who have not come to the
party don't go around after the beautiful
prizes have been distributed and say we
didn’t.invite you.
We’ve been inviting you for eight
weeks, every day, and now we invite you
again.
You don't have to dress up. Just put
on your brightest wits and you are fully
equipped for our party.
We are going to give cash prizes, auto
mobiles, pianos, hand-painted china and
other beautiful prizes, and we are sure
you will go around and be disappointed
because you did not enter the contest if
you do not come. Now is the best time
to come.
If you are desirous of entering the con
test, write for the back numbers, and we
will be glad to send them to you. They
are sold at the regular rate of The Daily
Georgian—2c per copy—and we will send
you as many as you need to complete your
set or we will send you the, entire set to
date.
The Proverb Book will help you in more
ways than one. While looking for one of
the Proverbs, you will naturally see sev
eral that you will remember and later,
when they appear in the paper, you will
know where to look for them.
The following questions are answered
for the benefit of those who read our col
umns :
J. B. L.—(l) When two or more prov
erbs seem to fit the same picture, study
them carefully and send in the one you
think is the correct solution. You have
the privilege of sending in three sets of
answers, and you will hardly find more
than three that tit one picture.
(2) The proverbs must be answered just
like the wording in the Proverb Book of
The Georgian's Contest Department.
(3) The small man of which you speak
is just to give you some idea of what the
picture represents. He is more help than
anything else in the picture.
(4) In ease of a tie. the best and most
neatly arranged set of solutions will be
awarded the prizes.
(5) More than one member of the fam
ily may enter the contest if he so desires.
(6 > The answers may be written or

winning a prize than the neatly written
ones.
