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.

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 eining Hu- selection of juri-- " Tip Bi, : Moose' pa ty in Geor gia might s.'lvi the wound- of tie d istiari i'd mgi o by an"|d ing a pi.i I - form favoring the I and unlimit ed di -11 Ibu Hon ot aa i' tim on - Repi e.-enta t i \ * ll'ioje Au-xaml't’, candidate fol go■■ , not. ’■ liki William Ji nnings Bryan in ora- pa; t icula he speaks in w.i 111 we.it he .'. 111> a big p.iim-leaf fan in his hand, and uses It with i onsldi alii ' inphit«ls in making bis gestut' - M i A , x.tlt' 'l' a -I'lendld sp. alo : Hi ha -a y <»t< e of fa -cm i y ing pow i i rain if n i.- mil -onerously modulat'd at all times. His low notes are all they should be, his high notes ate somewhat shrill and mote or less harsh now and then. * 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. if Mr Wright joins Mi. Alexander in 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.
