12 WIFE ‘MADE’ JACK SLATON RUN FDD GOVERNOR “She Said I HAD to Enter the Race, and I Did.” He Explains. If "Jack" Slator. is the n»xt gov ernor of Georgia and it looks as if he will be—his wife will be responsible it became known todav that it was only at her plea that he consented to enter the race When Mr. Slaton was asked just how he came to he a candidate he bowed deeply with an inimitable gesture in the direction of hi. 1 ' wife W hen the re porter asked Mrs. Slaton ts it were really true thnt her husband would not have entered the race fo l the state's highes' offi< e hut sot her appeals, she smilingly said she guessed «he’d have to admit that it So it ran.w tn he kno» n that Mr Slaton ts giving up e $20,000 law prac tice not nearly so mm h because he wants to b.. th p uinntot v. calth's chief *xecutlt’ c b». », r, ••• •nl.-in't sat no to his v If" Ten you exact!' how it came about.” said Mr. Slaton in th-- beautiful study of hi- country hom< on Peachtree road. We had talk' d over office holding main times Mis Slaton. Mrs. Grant, he mother and myself. Vou see they bad in han a man ■■■ Im a candidate, and their ambitions were naturally for . me, and I expect that's why I was per mined tn attend the ennfi renews. Most ly they'd begin to talk of office holding as a sort of adjunct to housekeeping ‘ and I’d find myself injected into the situation through a maze of friezes and hangings, chinaware and linens, tome fountain-, a sundial mid u tow of palms What Are You Going to Do?” ( "I told them." said Mr. Slaton, se- , riously now, 'that I whs perfectly sat- ■ isfied with the honors that the people 1 of Georgia hay " already vouchsafed me; ' that my law practice was a thing I wae taking a great deal of pride In and that I'd like to keep at it, particu larly as it helps out considerably in , paying hills. Rut Mrs. Slaton would turn to Mrs. Grant at the end of my • remarks and she would say thirt of 1 course the\ wouldn't med those lilac 1 curtains for the guest rooms or the din- j ner set they’d been looking at if I wasn't going to he a candidate And Mrs Grant would look at me with a look that wondered how I'd dp.ee to set up my will against plans for a Louis XVI chiffonier, and finally Mrs. Sla ton said that T'd got to run for gov ernor because she wanted me to so I'm running "Herr’s the point," continued Mt. Slaton. "What arc you going to do when you’re prisoner both to a w tfe •nd her mother?" One of the candidate s inimitable ges tures this time indicating utter help lessness and sublime resignation, add ed quite as much to the explanation as his words “He’ll Make a Good Governor." Mrs Slaton smiled confidently "I’m afraid it’s a shame to admit that that is true." she said. Really, Mr. Slaton Is giving up a law practice that he cares sot very much and I'm vain enough of his success In the law to tell that it does mean a financial sae- I'ifice of three or font times the salary of Georgia’s governor. Rut I'm tain enough, too. you see, to feel sure that he'll make a pretty good executive and of course, if he's governor, why I’ll be the governor- wife, and I'll ha,ve my chance to put into execution sonu of tny ideas concerning the operation of an executive mansion. The candidate bowed vigorously. "The truth of the matter is." said Mrs. Grant." my daughter Is more ambitious about homemaking than Ju lius Caesar ever could have been about a throne. Really, we had to urge Mr. Slaton many times before he would an nounce himself, and it is quite true that he said Ht first he'd not give up his present interests and his business, during this campaign at least. Rut my daughter and I have considerable ex perience al persuasion and always we had him either al the town house or out here In Buckhead, where he couldn't get away Os course we won him over and of course we feel certain he Is i going to be chosen governor as he should be, and we are really having a regular ravel planning how we'll live if our dream of next November comes true.” It Is Interesting incidentally, to an nounce that Mr. Slaton is preparing for his gubernatorial campaign by a course I in Emerson's essays, with particular at tention to that one entitled “Self-Re liance " CANDIDATES ANNOUNCE FOR FLINT SOLICITOR FORSYTH.

SWORN TO "MAKE GOOD" How would you like to be under oath to "make good" in New York within three years? Well, that's the propo sition up to Julian Harris, who has just left for the metropolis to be advertising manager for Uncle Remus's Magazine. And he's tickled half to death over the idea. Here's how It came about: Eighteen years ago four young and exceedingly ambitious Atlantans organized them selves into the Quadrant club. They were Walter Howard and Joseph John son. of The Journal, and Robert Ad amson and Julian Harris, of The Con st itul ion. Originally, the club was formed tor no reason In particular. The members met each Sunday at a hotel and partook of dinner together. Then it occurred Io them that thAy might make themselves useful as well as or namental: so they decided Jto give a dinner in honor of some one socially prominent—-one of the top-notchers of the Atlanta "400." The affair was a hug' and glittering success, and. of course, the club had to he entertained for having played host so engagingly. Soon it got to be a fad to entertain the Quadrant club, and Its members grew fat and self-important to an alarming degree. Oath of the Quadrant Boys. When dining ceased to he original, the Quadrant boys bestirred themselves lt> other ways, but managed to remain in the limelight all the lime. Then they all look a “paralyzed” oath. It was this: Each man pledged himself to go to New York and "make good” before he was 40. Walter Howard and "Joe" Johnson were the first to leave. Howard lost no time in climbing to the forefront. He was Mr. Hearst's right hand man in the successful tight of The New York Journal against the ice trust and lie distinguished himself In many MARTIN LITTLETON’S ‘ WIFE HOPES TO SAVE HOME OF JEFFERSON CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA..

"Joe” Johnson permitted no grass to accumulate beneath his feet. He plunged headlong into Metropolitan journalism, did fine work and finally got mixed up in New York politics. To day he is fire commissioner of the Greater city with a yearly salary of $15,000. "Rob" Adamson worked his way rapidly upward on the New York pa - pers and soon became known as one of the lives! wires in the city.

A few days ago Fire Commissioner Johnson happened to be in Atlanta and called on Mr. Harris. In the course of the conversation, w-hlch, naturally, had to do with “old times." he remarked, somewhat casually: "How soon will you be 40, Julian?” “Oh, in about three years,” replied Harris. "Well." said “Joe,'”* “you'd better be hiking tn the Rig Town to keep the old oath,” and he harked hack to the days of the Quadrant club. "You’re on,” said Harris. "I’ve just been appointed advertising manager of the magazine, and I’m off to New York In a few days. I’ll see you as soon as 1 hit the town." If the "oath” worried Mr. Harris in the least, he didn't show It; in fact; he seemed rather anxlchis to get onto the firing line as soon as possible. DIVORCED WIFE OF CAPT.

PEOPLE ASKED TD PICK MUSIC FARE City Organist to Play What Majority Wants, Even if It’s “Ragtime.” The Atlanta Music Festival associa tion wants to find just what the popn lar taste in music Is In this city and it has adopted the simple experiment of letting the public select the airs that will be played under direction of City Organist Dr. Percy ,T. Staxnes at the free organ recital in the Auditorium- Armory next Sunday. Some people in tho association be lieve Atlantans as a whole like a menu consisting principally of TJ Trovatore or Rigoletto, such as have been served at the free concerts in the recent past. 'Others think the public taste runs more nearly t > “Everybody’s Doin' It,” or at least a combination of the classic and "rag," without too much of.the latter. So Professor Starnes has said that he will give the people next Sunday exactly what they ask for. and he asks all citizens who are going to attend that concert to send him by mail the selections they'd most care to hear. The city organist sail! he would play what was asked for. regardless of its position In the musical hall of fame.

A woman who has used Postum since it came upon the market knows from experience the wisdom of using Postum in place of tea or coffee if one values health and a clear brain. She says: "At the time Postum was first* put on the market I was suffering from nervous dyspepsia, and my physician had repeatedly told me not to use tea or coffee. Finally 1 decided to take his advice and try Postum. I got a package and had it carefully prepared, finding it delicious to the taste. So I continued Its use and very soon its beneficial effects convinced me of its value, for 1 got well of my nervous ness and dyspepsia. "My husband had been drinking cof fee all his life until it had affected his nerves terribly, and I persuaded him to shift to Postum. It was easy to get him to make the change, for Postum is. so delicious. It certainly worked wonders for him. "We soon learned that Postum does not exhilarate or depress and does not stimulate, but steadily and honestly strengthens the nerves and the stotn- * ach. "To make a long story short, our entire family continued to use Postum with satisfying results as shown in our fine condition of health." Better health follows the use of Postum In place of tea and coffee, sometimes in a very marked manner. "There's a Reason." Look in package foi the famous little book. "The Road to Wellville."
