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. LA GRANGE INSURANCE CHANGE.

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!

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. FOLKSTON TO CELEBRATE. BRUNSWICK. GA..

Parker, of Waycross, and J. R.

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.
