SEARCHINGSID E LIG HTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
In making prohibition frankly the
paramount issue of th** present cam
paign. Hooper Alexander I* taking a
long chance, so far pr the cause of pro
hibition is concerned.
This may he a sign of great political
n ourage or a sign of great political
foolhardiness, as one (ares to view it.
ilt will be argued by Rome that Mr.
Alexander can not lose any mote by
! making prohibition the primary cause
of war, no matter how the battle goes.
! tha t he would lose if he sought to be
little it. Therefore, some people hold
. that it is good politics on the part of
i Mr Alexander to view with alarm and
I holler” prohibition with as much dis
tress in his voice as he < an muster.
There are prohibitionists, however,
•ho think that the gentleman from
DeKalb Is about to play* the deuce and
Tom Walker with the cause of prohibi
tion and they argue this way.
Mr. Alexander will raise the issues
«.f lawlessness. anarchy, debauchery,
corruption and blind tlgerlsm through
out Georgia, with such vociferous as
sistance as he can obtain he will em
phasize the crying necessity for more
statutory prohibition and better prohi
bition hr it never has been emphasized
before the people directly before —and
when the vote counting time c'omes,
he will receive a handful of votes only,
corp pa ratively speaking.
Many ardent prohibitionists hold that
this will leave their cause in worse
shape than it ever has been in Geor
gia—and they are saying that they are
being railed upon to sacrifice much on
the altar of Mr. Alexander’s doubtful
ambition.
If a scattering vote throughout Geor
gia is to be the answer to Mr. Alex
ander’s vehement appeal for more pro
hibition, where does the cause of pro
hibition gel off?
It may be that Mr. Alexander can
beat Mr Slaton but not one man in
ten believes It.
Colonel Roosevelt is coming to
Georgia to “bull moose” around a
bit! A lot of people In Georgia
are afraid they will wake up some
morning and find themselves for
the colonel, as it is.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT) NEWS- SATURDAY. AUGUST 10. 1912.
Nash R. Broyles, recorder of the po
lice court of Atlanta and 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 'h( halls from Atlanta, w here
one of the present judges of the court
of appeals lives.”
Mr. Broyles says:
‘ I am toting my own skillet.' Pam
not running on a pronibition 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. include- th< prohibition law,
and for the abolishment of the old
moss-grown technicalities which hin
der. impede and defeat justice In our
courts.
Ph-* only argument for riot electing
mo Is that one Atlanta man already
is on the court. I submit to the peo
ple of Georgia that this reason Is not
a sound one. If I am elected, I shall
represent on ihe court of appeals, not
Atlanta, but Georgia.
“I submit that ’he only fair, sound
question in this contest is. not whether
an Atlanta man or a Blakely man
should be 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.
