SLATON WILL NOT
00IT WORK TO
CAMPAIGN
Alexander and Hall, However,
Will Find Time to Drop Leg
islative Duties.
H
John M. Slaton trill adhere consist
ently to his determination, announced
early in the gubernatorial campaign, to
stick unswervingly to his legislative
duties, to the exclusion of al! cam
paigning. regardless of the activity of
his opponents.
Hooper Alexander will devote every
minute he can snatch from his legls-
♦ lative duties to prosecuting his cam
paign. and will bp assisted In his fight
by at least three of the leading prohibi
tionists of Georgia—Seaborn Wright,
Judge W. A. Covington and Judge A.
W. Fite.
Joe Hill Hall has been on the stump
for several weeks, and will go wher
ever he feels like it as the campaign
progresses, regardless of what the leg
islature may be doing.
Siaton will keynote his campaign to
an issue of general conservatism and
rational progress in affairs of state,
without particular reference to any
paramount issue. Hall will base his
fight on a straightout plea for more
rigid economy in the spending of the
state's money and the pressing necessi
(i t.v of keeping the state’s expenses in
side its income. Hooper Alexander will
keynote his campaign frankly to prohi
bition, with the extension of the West
ern and Atlantic to the sea a close
second.
Sees Victory in North Georgia.
Mr. Alexander returned today from
Catoosa county, where yesterday he
» fired the first gun of his campaign. He
expressed himself as more than well
pleased with his reception there, and
says he is sure to sweep north Georgia.
All arrangements have been made
for the meeting at the Lyric theater
on Thursday night, at which Mr. Alex
ander and Seab Wright will speak. Ar
rangements will be made for both
speakers to address an overflow meet
meeting.
Such prohibition leaders as H. Y. Mc-
Cord, R. J. Guinn. W. Woods White
and Augustus W. Fite are enthusias
tically supporting Mr. Alexander's can
didacy.
Joe Hill Hall returned today from a
‘ stumping tour of south Georgia and
seemed in fine spirits.
In Macon Mr. Hall issued a seathing
attack on both Alexander and Slaton,
saying that neither has any legitimate
claims on the governorship of Georgia,
and that it would be a fatal error to
elect either to that high office.
Joe Hill Hall Raps Slaton.
The Bibb county man directly goes
after Slaton, charging him with at
tempting to get into office without ever
saying what he stands for, and char
acterizing his campaign as “a platform,
less, issueless, colorless light for an in
definite something nobody knows what,
except it be simply to get the job." He
t charges Mr. Slaton with appealing for
* the governorship merely “on personal
grounds," and says the “line-up behind
him is the most remarkable ever framed
up in Georgia.”
Mr. Hall declares he would say a
good deal more about Alexander if he
knew what Alexander proposed to do,
but so far he had been unable to fath
om exactly what “the gentleman from
D -Kalb is driving at.”
Mr. Slaton is busy today preparing
for the big barbecue tomorrow, and did
not care to discuss politics.
He is supremely confident of win
t ning out over both of his opponents,
confidently predicting that he will get
more votes than both of them put to
gether.

By JAMES B. NEVIN.
The entry of Seaborn Wright, of Floyd,
into the gubernatorial contest, as backer
and champion of Hooper Alexander, un
doubtedly is a circumstance of more than
passing importance.
It will be taken to mean, despite pious
protests to the contrary, that the pro
hibition question is to be injected into
the forthcoming fight, and that it is to be
urged by the two men of all men in Geor
gia most abundantly qualified to urge It.
Mr. Alexander's recent connection with
the Tippins bill fight and the executive
veto of that measure is a matter of such
recent history that he will step from one
fight right into the other, as naturally
as if the one were framed to dovetail
into the other —which is exactly how It
may have been framed
Mr. M right is identified with no move
nient so closely or so uncompromisingly
as with the cause of prohibition.
He has made it a part of his political
religion for 80-odd years—he began it
when he first came to the legislature, be
fore he was 22 years of age, and he has
been at it ever since.
Than Seaborn Wright, of Floyd, there
breathes no more eloquent prohibitionist
anywhere No speaker knows better than
Seab Wright how to "shell the woods"
from the prohibition standpoint.
The betting may be good that Alex
ander and Wright will not come under
the wire winners on August 21, but it's a
cinch of the lead-pipe persuasion that
they will make somebody sit up and take
notice in the meantime
Every little while somebody vocif
erously, pugnaciously and eloquently
petitions the house to sit down on
“Bob" Hardeman's rules committee,
and regularly the house declines by a
practically unanimous vote not to do
it!
A terrible thing has happened to Mr.
Wohlwender, of Muscogee—a great and
I crushing humiliation has come upon
I him!
A misguided and misinformed contem-
I porary—well may one tremble for it—re
cently wrote up Mr. Wohlwender as a
prohibitionist.
Mr. Wohlwender has not trusted him
j self yet to arise to a question of personal
privilege in the house and demand a re
traction of those cruel words, but he is
contemplating it seriously.
One may. with a certain amount of im
munity. call Mr. Wohlwender a reaction
ary. a bull moose, or a mugwump, but he
draws the line strongly and uncompro
misingly at being called a prohibitionist!
He recently informed the house, in lan
guage that could be mistaken by nobody,
that he is an “old-fashioned, dyed-in
the-wool, rock-ribbed, unterrified, copper
riveted anti-prohibitionist from away up
the creek, where the further up you go
the more ‘anti’ they get!"
'Why,'' said Mr. Wohlwender. "1 could
; not even be elected dog catcher in my vi-
I cinity. if the idea spread abroad that I
I had so far forgotten my raising as to
I turn prohibitionist!"
"Can't Sidelights talk of anything
but politics'." Inquires one on a sou
venir postal card. Certainly! Now is
the time to begin your Christmas
i shopping.
, Mr. Hiers is one of the silent members
' of tlie house.
The gentleman . from Colquitt never
i raises Ills voice on the floor, no matter
liov. warm the debate grows. He prefers
‘ to let others furnish the oratory and hot

, mittee work—and it is in the committees,
r as those familiar with legislation know,
- that the real, telling work of a session is
1 done.
It is rare that a speech on the floor
» changes a vote —but a speech in qommit-
- tee often travels far in effect.
j Mr. Hiers is one of the older members,
» too. He !s extremely quiet and unob
. trusive, but he is recognized as a strong
. legislator, and he is very attentive to his
i duties, even if he does rank speechmak
s Ing among the relatively unimportant
i things a member is sent to Atlanta to do.

what’s the matter with “Candler?”
f
Jack Slaton just scratched through on
1 that barbecue invitation!
t A little more harassing delay and anx
. iety and the great bulk of the legislature
s would have concluded that the president
of the senate had lost his mind, or for-
i gotten something, or was just naturally
t determined to be mean.
i The annua! Slaton barbecue is as much
’ a fixture in things legislative as is John
Boifeuillet or Charlie Northern
The legislature, of course, would be a
r howling wilderness with either one of that
i pair missing when the house met to get
t sworn in—and it is a well known fact that
e the only real excuse some members have
for coming to the legislature at all is in
order to get invited to' Jack Slaton's bar
becue every year!
Os course, the legislature understands
that there was some embarrassment upon
the part of Mr. Slaton in giving the bar
becue this year, particularly before the
close of the gubernatorial entries, but—
well, the house and senate, to a man, is
glad that the president of the senate got
over his embarrassment before it was too
I late.
1 There was much mumbling, and grum
bling, and some weeping, and wailing,
- and a trifle of gnashing of teeth over the
thought that the barbecue was to be
1 passed up tills year—or might be passed
up!
Joe Hill Hall always has been a bright
I and particular star at those annual Slaton
barbecues, and there is no reason, not
s withstanding the gubernatorial war. why
he should not be this year.
Anyway,. Slaton expects him to, all
* right!

Charleston Mayor Says Caro
lina Governor’s Friends Are
Thieves and Grafters.
GREENVILLE, S. C.. Aug. 6.—Mayor
Jojin P. Grace, of Charleston, formerly
one of the strongest supporters of Gov
ernor Cole L. Blease. delivered an ad
dress in Greenville last night to an au
dience of more than 1.000 people, in
which he vigorously attacked the South
Carolina executive. “The issue in this
campaign," said the speaker, “is consti
tutionalism against anarchy.” Mayor
Grace then repeated Blease’s now fa
mous declaration, made at Camden, "To
hell with the constitution." The speak
er then read from the constitution,
which he held in his hand, that portion
relating to free speech and human lib
erty, and from this he took his text,
literally flaying the state’s chief exec
utive.
"I have been his friend and his sup
porter. I have found him to be any
thing but fitted for the high office he
occupies. His closest friends are now’
thieves and grafters. I couldn’t stand
that company, and I got on the other
side.”
Mayor Grace reviewed Blease’s par
don record and other official acts, char
acterizing him as a man who had re
pudiated every promise made to the
people.
In contrast to the reception accorded
Mayor Grace in Spartanburg Saturday
night, when he was not allowed to
speak, the crowd here was orderly and
respectful. A handful of Blease sup
porters in the rear of the hall attempted
to start a disturbance, but they were
put out of the hall by a police detail.

CANDIDATES REFRAIN
FROM PERSONALITIES
DOUGLAS, GA., Aug. 6. —The joint
debate here yesterday afternoon be
tw’een Judge T. A. Parker, of Waycross,
and J. R. Walker, of Valdosta, candi
dates for congress from the Eleventh
congressional district of Georgia, was
free of the personalities engaged in at
other places where the candidates have
met. They had by far the largest crowd
that they have ever had, there being
something like 1,000 people present.
Many were not able to crowd into the
court house, where the speaking was
held.
The platforms of both were discussed
freely. Mr. Walker undertook to make
himself clear in his position on the
parcels post. Both candidates are ve
hemently declaring their willingness to
give their undivided support to this
measure, in the event they go to Wash
ington. Both declared themselves orig
inal prohibitionists.
W. G. Brantley, the present congress
man. was not mentioned in the speak
ing. and the attack of Tom Watsort, the
McDuffie sage, was not in any way re
ferred to. After the speaking, the can
didates spent the afternoon shaking
hands with the farmers of Coffee coun
ty. They left for Nicholls, where they
spoke last night.
