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.

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.
