SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
Taft Republicans In Georgia are im
mensely gratified that the Republican na
tional committee in Chicago turned down
absolutely the other day the Roosevelt
"insurgent" delegation, in favor of the
“regulars." marching to the convention
city under Henry 8. Jackson.
When Ormsby McHarg. the Roosevelt
gumshoe man. came to Georgia some two
months ago and undertook to upset the
Taft delegation, already elected under the
usual order of things, the Taft people said
that McHarg was "on a cold trail," and
was not hopeful of obtaining any genuine
legal standing anyway, for his proposed
Roosevelt "contesting" delegation, but
was only seeking to get It in such shape
that it could he seated with as much
grace as possible, In the event It should
be found later that Roosevelt's friends
and partisans controlled the national
committee.
McHarg never succeeded in getting any
regular sanction to his call for new con
ventions. All the duly accredited repre
sentatives of the state Republican or
ganization held coldly aloof from the Mc-
Harg efforts.
The convention McHarg succeeded in
putting over was held without the co
operation of any Republican to whom had
been delegated authority to act for the
party In Georgia
Georgia Republicans of the Taft per
suasion are claiming, moreover, that Mc-
Harg deceived Roosevelt as to the real
situation in Georgia, and that had the
former president really understood the
situation, he doubtless would not have
countenanced the McHarg bluff at a con
test before the national committee.
The Taft people are laughing at the Mc-
Harg falldown, and even a few of the
"insurgents" are said to be suspecting
that they took the smooth and persuasive
McHarg a little too seriously when he
was down this way last April.
"Service in the lower house of con
gress seems to bemfwmfwmfwefwb

•Sometimes, one is justified in think
ing so. anyway.
Colonel Thomas B. Felder, one of Geor
gia's delegates-at-)arge to the national
Democratic convention in Baltimore, has
been invited to be the guest of Mayor
lames H Preston during his stay in the
city.
Baltimore recently started a great, big,
rapld,-fire Preston vice presidential boom,
moreover!
If Colonel Felder undertakes to push
that along, there are plenty of folks will

Persons who think politics the most
amusing topic of conversation ever,
are reminded of the fact that Miss
Alice Virginia Reel recently was ad
mitted to the practice of medicine in
Colorado.
The friends of John M. Slaton are seem
ingly justified in many instances In their
claim that all factions are getting to
gether In Slaton's favor gubernatorially.
Anyway, Judge George Hlllyer, certainly
as stout-hearted and as loyal a partisan
as the Hon. Hoke Smith ever boasted, is
for Slaton in the present tight, and is
not at all backward about letting his
friends know it.
Judge Hlllyer says it is a mistake about
his having been a member of Tom Hud
son's campaign committee. He says he has
always had the kindliest of feeling for
Hudson, and still has. but that he long
ago decided that Slaton was the man lor
the present emergency.
If Judge Hlllyer thinks Slaton a fi’ and
proper man in whom factional differences

may be buried, It seems a conclusion not
at all violent that there must be many
others.
Mr Taft does not seem to know
exactly where he is going, but he
no doubt Is firmly persuaded that he
is on his way, all right!

He writes suggesting the name of Col
onel George N. Napier, of Monroe, as a
fit and proper man for that nomination.
Colonel Napier is a Georgian of wide
acquaintance. He Is grand master of the
Masons in this state, and, while that has
nothing to do with politics, it has served
to give him a wide and influential circle of
friends and acquaintances.
Colonel Napier has served in the bouse
of representatives, and if he should get
into the gubernatorial fray, he would be
heard from undoubtedly.
There are three colored delegates
already on hand in Chicago who "re

wager, as it were?
An effort will be made at the forth
coming session of the legislature to en
act a law providing for rotation of the
superior court judges.
' This in an ancient, and widely ap
proved idea, in Georgia, and various ef
forts to get such a law on the statute

never successfully.

Sam Garllngton. of Richmond, who says
he exjiects to bend his best efforts to put

That ancient puzzle, "What happens
