Mhihu 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. SUNBURNT \ SMNSNEED ‘ /■ ' / xA. ' -Ti .■b-M CUTICURA SOAP And( uticiiraOintment.

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.

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?"
