I SEARCHINGSIDELIGHTS
' ON GEORGIA POLITICS
, By JAMES B. NEVIN.
In making prohibition frankly the
paramount issue of the present cam
'ipaign, Hooper Alexander is taking a
I long chance, so far ax the cause of pro
hibition is .concerned.
This may lie a sign of great political
courage or a sign of gieat political
foolhardiness, as one cares to view it.
i It will be argued by some that Mr.
J Alexander can not lose any more by
tnakihg prohibition the primary cause
l of war. no matter how the battle goes,
that he would lose if he sought to be
little it Therefore, sotm people hold
that it Is good politics on the part of
Mt. Alexander to view with alarm and
I "holler” prohibition with as much dis
l tr.•“» in his voice as he can muster.
Then ate prohibitionists, however.
■ who think that the gentleman from
DeKalb is about to play ttie deuce and
1 Tom Walker with the cause of prohibi
tion and they algite this wax.
Mr. Alexander xvill raise the Issues
of lawlessness, anarchy, debauchery,
I corruption and blind tigerlsm through
; out Georgia, with such vociferous as
-1 slstance as lie can obtain he will etn-
I phaslze the crying necessity for more
j statutory prohibition and better prohi
' bition as it never has been emphasized
‘before the people directly before -and
when the vote counting time comes,
he will receive a handful of Votes only,
comparatively speaking.
Many ardent prohibitionists hold that
this will leave their cause in worse
shape than it over has been in Geor
gia ami they ate saying that they are
being called upon to sacrifice much on
Hie altar of Mr. Alexander's
ambition.
If a scattering vote throughout Geor
gia Is to he the answer to Mr. Alex
ander's vehement appeal for mote pro
hibition. where does the cause of pro
hibition gel off '
Il may be that Mr. Alexander can
beat Mr Slaton but not one man in
ten believes it.
Colonel Roosevelt is coming to
Georgia to "hull moose” around a
bit! A lot of people In Georgia
ate afraid they will wake up some
morning and find themselves for
the colonel, as it is.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN .AND N EWS SA'l IKDA Y. .AUGUST 10. Utu.
Nash R. Broyles, recorder of the po
lice court of Atlanta ami candidate for
a seat on the court of appeals, talks
interestingly of the suggestion recent
ly advanced that he Is "a candidate of
the prohibitionists." and that there is
objection to him in south Georgia be
cause "he hails from Atlanta, v. here
one of the present Judges of the court
of appeals lives"
Mr. Broyles says:
"I am ‘toting my own skillet.’ 1 am
not running on a prohibition platform,
for there are other questions in Geor
gia as important as the prohibition
question.
I stand in my race for the enforce
ment of all of our laws, which, of
tours. Includes the prohibition law.
and for the abolishment of the old
moss-grown technicalities which hin
der, Impede and defeat justice in out
court s.
"The only argument for not electing
me L that on® Atlanta man already
is on Hie court. I submit to the peo
ple of Georgia that this reason is not
a sound one. If 1 am elected. I shall
represent on the court of appeals, not
Atlanta, but Georgia.
"I submit that he only fait, sound
question in this contest is. not whether
an Atiapta man or a Blakely man
should he elected, but of the two can
didates, which one is the better qual
ified to serve the people of Georgia on
the court of appeals?"
John M. Slaton asks unanimous
consent of the legislature yearly
to do one thing only—give a bar
becue. And never yet has the leg
islature denied him his request.
