Entry of Alexander Means
Campaign on Precise Lines.
With Lots of Ginger.
Despite the fact that political ob
servers find it hard to figure Hooper
Alexander a winner in the gubernato
rial primary, the impression is that his
candidacy will bring the campaign
down to definite and precise lines and
injure plenty of ginger.
It is admitted Mr. Alexander's late
and unheralded entry into the fight
starts him at a disadvantage. The
campaigns of both Mr. Slaton ami Mr.
Hall have been tindet way for months,
and each has effected an organization
aggressive and compact. Generally
speaking, the newspapers of the state
already have taken sides, and thou
sands of citizens have committed them
selves either to Slaton or Hall.
At the same time. Mr. Alexander
plainly intends forcing his antagonists
to take definite and unmistakable
stands on more than one subject they
may have preferred to sidestep.
He will be able to make himself ex
tremely pestiferous to his enemies on
the sfubjects of prohibition, the exten
sion of the Western and Atlantic rail
road. the initiative, the referendum and
the recall, child labor, the proposed
Federal amendment concerning popu
lar election of senators and corpora
tion interference in politics.
Old Smith Faction to Aid Him.
I’ndoubtcdly the DeKalb counit
statesman will undertake to assemble
as nearly as he may the old anti-joe
Brown element, and rally it to bis
cause. He will not call it the Hoke
Smith following, but he expects it to tie
recruited largely from that faction.
There has been no split between Alex
ander and Senator Smith, notwith
standing some alleged anti-Smith sen
timents recently uttered on the floor of
the house by the DeKalb county min
Senator Smith is being quoted as
determined to keep "hands off,’’ but
there are Doubting Thomases abroad
who take precious little stock in that
assertion, and -wallow it with many
grains of salt.
Mr. Alexander has yet issued no for
mal statement. He was busy today
with the Tippins bill, ami let it be un
derstood that he would not begin to
prepare his platform for the public un
til after the prohibition measure has
been finally disposed of by the house.

there was such a pack and jam of hu

that is’ easily done, and while the main
Xuditoi iimi and halls are well filled,
there is more room and comfort.
Compliments from all sides are being

iSEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B NEVIN.
William H. Burwell, of Hancock, in
' point of service one of the veterans of
Ithe house of representatives, was be
si-ged right up to the day of the closing
of entries to throw his hat into the
congressional ring down In the Tenth
district and become a candidate against
.Mr. Fleming and Mr. Hardwick, the
two iisf'iraiits sot congressional honors
now- fighting it out in that vicinity.
Mr. Burwell has been mentioned off
and on for a number of years as likely
congressional material in the Tenth,
but for one reason and another has
I never yet seen his way clear to become
a candidate. Some of these days the
gentleman from Hancock doubtless has
an idea that he will have a try for that
prize, but the time is not yet.
Mr. Burwell’s present ambition is to
bi elected speaker of the Georgia house
of representatives, and he is now an
active candidate sot that place of honor
and distinction in lhe next house. He
ha- to-.-n actively campaigning for
weeks, and already has a number of
members pledged to him.
He is regarded as one of the very
i ablest parliamentarian* in lhe house,
hind would bi' perfectly at home in the
I speakership. His friend- ate very em:-
l lident that lie will win out. too.
Things around and about the
< apitol are done after a parlia
mentary fashion rigidly Yester
day the house elevator was pla
carded "Out of order!"
"I'ncle Jerry” Slade, of Muscogee, is
one of tile best loved members of Hie
Georgia legislature
He is a veteran of the t’ivil war. and
always comes to Hie iegislatm e from
Muscogee whenever be wants to in
fact, If "i'ncle Jetty" want.- lhe job.
they just hand It to hint on a .silver
waiter, ami say it is his. anyway, ami
all ho has to do is to reach forth and
take it.
Mi Slade's one ambition is to seethe
"good character” clause of Georgia's
I present egistration laws rigidly con
st i tied and firmly enforced.
Mr Slade's bill to that end was th
feated in the house a few days ago.
upon the theory that it was "too dras
tic." in that it put the construction of
what constitutes "good character" In
llhe keeping of a handful of men the
] various county t< gistrars.
Notwithstanding the defeat of his
bid, "I ncle Jeiiy" still is of Hie opinion
that it was a good bill, and that "good
charactei" should be rigidly defined,
ami. if necessary, arbitrarily construed.
"I nil jurors ale arbitrarily adjudged
in the matter of good character," said
M> Slade "nod if they me. why tint
registered voters?
A mgro can be kept off the jury
panel by arbitrary means. Why not fix
it so he can be kept off t tie registration
lists by the same means as that gov

Mr. Alexander says it is not his in
tention to make a thorough stumping
lout of the state - that it is. indeed, a
■ physical impossibility to do that in the
short time tile campaign yet has to go.
He does expect, (tow ever, to deliver a
number of addresses at central points,
and to those he will invite the public’s
most careful attention.
The gentleman from DeKalb is a na
tive of Eloyd county , ami Is a former
schoolmate of Seaborn Wright, the
t'havaliet Bayard of Georgia prohibi
tion.

Ills fight—and it is said he will lite
resulting spectacle is .-ure lo lie mag
nificent. if not war
For a corpse, the Tippins bill is
making an almighty racket, all
t ight!
"I’ncle Ben" Joiner, of Washington,
one of tlie “old guard" in the house
has the unique distinction of never
missing a roll call.
The house can not meet too early in
tile morning for "I'ncle Ben." In fact
lie is one of those "countt'y raised” sort
that prefei eailv meetings and notiiing
doing after candle-lighting time.
"I belirae lite legislature Is sent here
to work." said "i'm le Ben" today, "and
I tliink I have no moral tight to fail to
answer to my name when the clerk
calls it In the morning.
"We tool away too much time in the
legislature, anyway We nearly talk
our heads off that is, the talk'- s du
and we could get away with much more
business if we worked harder and mot"
steadily at our jobs. If the average
legislatoi only knew if. lie is a pretty
poot and unentertaining speaker. Then
are not more than two or three good
-peakers in the house I mean men
that class anywhere near real orators.
Most of those who talk, talk merely
to hear themselves, it sometimes seents
to me."
"I'ncle Ben makes no speeches him
self he leav'-s "rag-chewing" toothets
But he is there, always tight .there,
with the vote -and, after all is said
. and done, it is the voting and not the
talking that i mints in tlie legislature.
I'erltaps Mi Alexander bore in
mind that biblical injunction that
,< i asionallv. anyway , the last may
hope to be first.
After a short and pathetic try-out.
the house abandoned the idea of after
noon sessions
It was discovered that afternoon ses
sions ate good for killing bills only
There rarely Is a quotum present, and
if there is any opposition to a bill at
all, it is hard to muster a lonstitii-
I ional majority for It.
Thi- *■ likely will l>* no mote after
noon sessions attempted, until very
mat tile end of the session, al least.
