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 kgkq," observes The Athens Banner •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 ing to bet it gets somewhere. 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 By JAMES B. NEVIN. 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! Rufe Hutchens shot athwart the At lanta horizon today, and desperate efforts were made to halt him long enough to get him to say something of a political sort —but there was nothing doing "How about Watson-Felder-Baltimore- Chicago- Bankhead - Underwood - Brown- Hoke -any old thing, colonel?” inquired one anxious busybody, whose lot in it is to get things out of notables and people of importance. "Too busy practicing law,” returnee Hutchens. "But I am going to Baltimore —and we are going to put our man over, too,” he said. And then be said •'Good-bye!” and jumped In a hack, on his way to the Terminal, Romeward bound. As an evidence that there is grand, gloomy and peculiar politics elsewhere than in Georgia, it maj’ be mentioned that a lot of lepers in China have gone on strike for higher pensions They are sore on the government. Dr P. Y Duckett, of Cornelia, thtnka mighty well of the suggestion that the Tallulah Fails conservationists bring out. a candidate for governor, in order to get the matter of conservation of that "beau ty spot” squarely up to the people 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 fuse to say how they stand.” Isn't ode side or the other overlooking a bet right there —a strictly on the q. t. 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 books have been made in the past, but never successfully. The bill providing for rotation will he introduced this yeur by Representative Sam Garllngton. of Richmond, who says he exjiects to bend his best efforts to put ting it through the general assembly. That ancient puzzle, "What happens when an Irresistible force meets an immovable body?" is about to be solved at last. Tom Felder says he Is going to Baltimore right through South Carolina, and Governor Blease says he shall not get by the first sta tion. The race for the legislature has eoener up In dead earnest in White county Al ready there are three candidates in ths field, former Representative J. H. Alley. W. A Jackson and C 11. Edwards. All three are strong and popular men. and the contest promises to be one of the most interesting in the state. 3
