sent to the governor. President Slaton
remains constantly at the capitol. and
to the various engrossed bills ar. pre
sented to him, he signs them promptly
and immediately has them transmitted
to the executive department
Mr. Slaton by reason of his legisla
tive duties, has been able of late to
devote practically none of his time to
his campaign He announced tn the be
ginning of his fight that he would not
permit politics to interfere w ith his leg
islative duties, and It is retailed that
he purposely declined to leave Atlanta
the day after the Tippins bill passed, j
although the senate was not in session
that day because he wished to be able
to sign the bill promptly upon its en
grossment. and send it along to the
governor. Had Mr Slaton desired to
play politics, he might have delayed his
signature to the Tippins bill until after
the final date for gubernatorial entries,
and thus have headed off one of his op
ponents at least
M'ELREATII FOUGHT
BY UNION; DIDN’T AID
NEGRO FIREMAN BILL
H O Teat, chairman of the board
of directors of the Brotherhood of Lo
comotive Engineers ami Firemen, in a
statement today opened a fight against
th» re-election of Representative Wal
ter McElreath. of Fulton county, be
cause of his attitude on the negro fire
man bill.
He charged that when the measure
was pending in the last legislature Mc-
Elreath not only declined to aid its
passage in any way, but at all times
Indicated opposition.
His statement declares that the rep
resentative refused to discuss the
measure with representatives of or
ganized labo but did take it up with
railroad officials and lobbyists. It calls
attention to the fact that Mr McEl
reath introduced a bill providing an
appropriation for the education of ne
groes.

CARE OF THE TEETH
IMPORTANT TO HEALTH
Without perfect teeth one can not
enjoy perfect health. Decayed or im
perfect teeth are not only painful and
continuously annoying, but a positive
menace to health and even life.
Do not neglect your teeth. Upon the
first sign of decay have them treated
and save suffering Or, if the teeth are
already in bad condition, have them at
tended to at once.
The modern scientific painless met It
ods in use by the Atlanta Dental Par

The times demand men in
public life who can do
things. Walter McElreath’s
work for the School of Tech
nology—the pride of Geor
gia and the especial pride of
Atlanta and Fulton county
—puts him in this class. In
1909 he led the fight and
made the speech on the floor
of the house which secured
an increase of SIO,OOO in
maintenance. In 1910 he led;
the fight which secured the
appropriation for the new
shop building. Largely
through his efforts increases
of $5,000 in maintenance j
were secured in each of the
years 1911 and 1912. State
aid has encouraged private
gifts and the school has
grown in the past four years
from a comparatively small
institution to one of the
greatest technical schools in
the country.

Why is it that the people of
Fulton county indorse John
Y. Smith for the legisla
ture? It is because they
recognize his uprightness;
and ability. 1

A WORD FOR BROYLES
BY MAYSON
TO THE VOTERS OF GEORGIA:
When Sergeant Jasper leaped over the breastworks
and rescued the American colors, the public applauded,
and he was tendered immediate promotion.
Now, there can be heroic service for the country in
peace as well as war.
I happen to know that Nash Broyles, as Recorder
of the City of Atlanta, is as verily a hero in that he has
fearlessly performed the duties of a difficult position in
the face of and against daily threats and constant dan
gers to self and family. Surely, if rewards are given
for high service, his ambition to serve upon the Court of
Appeals should be gratified.
Judge Broyles is a graduate' of the law department
of the University of Georgia, practiced law in Atlanta for
years; has served as Recorder for a number of years and,
during this time of service, has tried all kinds of cases
and. in many instances, questions of very high constitu
tional character. His decisions have almost uniformly
been approved. They have been passed upon by the
judges of the superior court, of the court of appeals, of
the supreme court and of the supreme court of the Unit
ed States. Surely, this gives a wide range of investiga
tion and fits a judge for service In one or the other of
these high courts.
A majority of the cases passed upon in the Court of
Appeals, to which court Judge Broyles now aspires,
deals with criminal cases. Judge Broyles is peculiarly
prepared to pass upon these readily, fairly and correct
ly. Indeed, service cf this high character would be not
only very congenial, but would offer an opportunity to
him for the exercise of the fund of experience and
knowledge he has gained during his service in his pres
ent position.
Besides, such an elevation would be according to the
rule announced by Him who was at once the wisest and
the best:
“Thou hast been faithful over a few things. I will
make thee ruler over many things.’’
I felt that someone of our citizens should bear testi
mony to the high character of Judge Broyles. It oc
curred to me that nossibly by reason of my long serv
ice with him I could best do this, and I have done so in
the hope that, when the attention of the voters is called
to the man and his desert, they will give him the approval
of their ballots. He deserves it, and his election will be
not only a compliment to himself but a compliment to
the electorate of Georgia, for it would show that they
still believe in the enforcement of the law. and that they
approve a judge who enforces the law in the face of ail
kinds of criticism, threats and danger.
Judge Broyles has no knowledge of this publica
,tion; it is written by a friend, of a friend, to friends.

branch of the work. It is not my wish
to go outside of the city for men to fill
the different positions, but, as stated
above. Atlanta should have the BEST,
and if we do not find it in our own
markets, we must look elsewhere. At

I am satisfied that I can save the
