HON. WALTER McELREATH
ENDORSED FOR RE-ELECTION TO THE LEGISLATURE
We, the undersigned citizens, desire to commend to the voters of Fulton County, the candidacy of Walter McElreath for re-election to the Legislature.
Among the many reasons demanding his re-election, the greatest is the necessity that so great a county as this should be represented in the next legisla
ture by men of experience and legislative ability. This will be especially necessary in the next two years when Fulton County will not furnish a Senator.
That Mr. McElreath has legislative capacity of high order has been demonstrated by his record. From the beginning of his service he became one of the
active and successful leaders of the House. During his first term he was Vice-Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means and during his second term
he was Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, the most important and influential committee of the House.
He has performed the duties of his office with untiring energy and with diligent attention to every phase of
legislation, local or general. During his four years of service he was absent but one day and that on account of
sickness.
The amount of the taxes paid by Fulton county entitlees her to have her institutions well provided for During
Mr. McElreath s four years of service the institutions of the county have not suffered.
His efforts have contributed substantially to the growth of the School of Technology into one of the greatest
technical schools in the country. In 1909 he led the fight on the floor of the house which secured an increase of
ten thousand dollars in maintenance ; in 1910 he led the fight which secured the appropriation for the new shop
building. Increases of five thousand dollars in the maintenance were secured in each of the years 1911 and 1912.
Tlie increasing feebleness of the inmates of the Soldiers Home demands better maintenance from year to year.
In 1911, the committee of which Mr. McElreath was chairman recommended and the general assembly granted an
increase of $2,500.00 in the maintenance, and an appropriation of $5,000.00 for building a hospital. At the present
session his committee secured a further increase of $2,500.00 in maintenance and of $1,000.00 for furnishing the

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
In many respects, the most remarkable
campaign for the governorship ever waged
in Georgia comes to an end today.
It began actually last December—im
mediately after the present executive was
named in a special state primary.
Before that election, John M. Slaton had
considered the matter of running for that
high and honorable position. But it would
hardly be accurate to say that he actually
was a candidate previous to December 7
the date upon which * Dittle Joe” put It
all over Pope Brown and “Plain Dick”—
for he was not. Upon the outcome of that
special primary hung all the Slaton hopes
and aspirations.
Thomas G. Hudson's campaign began
actually about the same time There had
been "rumors” of Tom and all sort
of thing-but he, too, was awaiting the
outcome of the special primary before
throwing his hat in the ring Slaton’s
definite determination to run decided Hud
son to run, but not until affer Hudson
had been persuaded to give up a well
started congressional race, and had been
assured of much factional and anti-Sla
ton support, not to mention a supply
of necessary “long green”—upon which
turned a subsequent tragedy sad tn re
late, but not particularly to the purposes
of this comment.
Joo Hill Hall's candidacy began—well,
nobody knows exactly when it did begin.
One, two, three, five, seven years ago—
sometime' Joe Hill Hall was a candi
date divers and sundry times before he
stayed put until election day—which he
did do this time.
Hooper Alexander—but Hooper Alex
ander got into the game so very recently
and so very “staglly” that it were a
waste of good space -and white paper
going up all the time!—to relate in de
tail now just how the gentleman from
DeKalb did get in!
Without reference to the merits of any
candidate’s cause, it looks at this stage
of the proceedings as if John M. Slaton
has “out-politicked” his opponents at
every turn of the cards.
Slaton was elected speaker of the
house twice without opposition, and be
subsequently was elected president of the
senate twice without opposition; and now
he Is to be elected governor without
but that would be sweeping, and might
be thought, by some, to be unkind.
There are those w’ho call Jack Slaton
"the luckiest fellow" that ever played the
political game in Georgia—they say Sla
ton “gets everything on a silver platter!”
Maybe it is “luck” that enables Jack
Slaton to get things without opposition,
but there still will be a few' people in
clined to think there must be something
more than mere “luck" in a series of po
litical performances such as Slaton has
pulled off. and all without opposition!
It is barely possible that Slaton has
away with him” that disarms opposi
tion it may be that he is extraordinarily
clever at playing the game safe.
It may be a lot of things Including
luck” but a number of folks believe

that it is marked and well developed
shrewdness and political astuteness
Mr Slaton’s methods of campaigning
have been little short of remarkable.
He has delivered not one political
speech; and he has issued directly only
one card. There has been the usual
amount of campaign “dope” handed out
from headquarters, hut to only one pro
mulgation has Slaton attached his sig
nature.
He has delivered numerous speeches on
educational matters—and had somebody
thought to invite him to discuss the
Panama canal or the probable inhabit
antless state of Mars, he would have de
livered a master oration upon either or
both topics. He is long—very long—on
that sort of talk!
But politics and platforms, specific is
sues and what-you-may-call-’ems—far
be it from Jack!
He has contented himself with pointing
wdth pride to his sixteen years record In
the Georgia legislature and he has stead
fastly refused to view’ anything whatever
with alarm—even including Hooper and
Joe Hill!
And he’s going to be elected!
ft’s no great shakes to Sidelights—it’s
just that way, apparently, and Sidelights
couldn’t help it, if he would!
With the soft pedal on. and in as lady
like a fashion as the most exacting could
ask. Jack Slaton has “put over another
one,” or the “dope's" all wrong.
Ami there’s this about It, too:
Slaton’s campaign has been free of mud
slinging, factional appeal, and frenzied
complaining and predicting that the
world Is headed straight to the demni
tlon bow-wows.
Perhaps Georgia has been only too glad
to dispense with a measure of that.
Combined with Slaton’s dignified meth
ods of campaigning has been a w ide per
sonal popularity.
The Impression seems to be that Jack
Slaton is safe and sane, and will make a
rational and entirely acceptable governor.
And, oh yes!—this campaign has been
conducted without campaign managers!
And for that—no doubt —here and
there, many thanks!

ANNISTON. ALA.. Aug. 20.—Robert
Hasson, doorkeeper of the lower house

probably 40 years, and was well known
throughout the state. He was buried

BARTLETT'S MEN
EEAR HIS DEFEAT
Urgent Appeal Made for Bibb’s
Vote by Congressman’s Ex
ecutive Committee.
■ MACON, GA.. Aug. 20. —The contest
for congress from the Sixth district
between Representative Charles L.
Bartlett. John W. Wise and John R.
Cooper reached its climax today in a
heated newspaper controversy between
Bartlett and Wise. In a published fore
cast by the Bartlett executive commit
tee, it is declared that unless Bibb
county goes heavily for Mr. Bartlett his
defeat Is probable, and an urgent ap
peal is made to Macon voters to cast
their ballots for their fellow townsman.
Mr. Wise has invaded this county and,
through the newspapers, has been con
ducting an active campaign. Both
treat the candidacy of Mr. Cooper rath
er lightly, and say he is not a factor.
The Bartlett committee in its state
ment concedes the counties of Fayette,
Clayton, Henry Spalding and Pike to
Mr. Wise, and states that Butts and
Monroe are uncertain. The counties
claimed for Mr. Bartlett are Bibb,
Jones, Crawford, Upson and Jasper.
As the plurality rule obtains, however,
the candidate receiving the greatest
aggregate of votes will be the winner.
Mr. Wise's chief accusations against
Mr. Bartlett are that Macon has held
the office 48 of 40 years, and that the
country districts should now be fa
vored; that Mr. Bartlett has had the
office eighteen years and that his rec
ord does not warrant his re-election.
In his published advertisements to
day, Mr. Wise severely criticises Mr.
Bartlett, and the latter's executive com
mittee in turn accuses Mr. Wise of
unfair methods and defends Mr. Bart
lett’s record at length.

Mr. McElreath is needed in the legislature at this time to help shape vital matters of state policy. Important
modifications of the state’s financial system will be necessary in the next two years. Mr McElreath's knowledge
of the financial system of the state, gained as chairman of the committee on appropriations, especially fits him to as
sist in this task. Concerning a recent card discussing the finances of the state, The Constitution said: “Mr. Mc-
Elreath's is the strongest card yet given the public. His every word conveys gospel truth. Men must be sent to the
next legislature with nerve to face the situation and courage to apply the remedy.’’
We indorse the following statement of the Fulton County Daily Report: “If Walter McElreath had done
nothing else during his whole career as a legislator besides getting the bill passed allowing the people to vote on
the question of abolishing justice of the peace courts, that ought to re-elect him unanimously. ’ ’
His service in dealing with the question of the removal of the capitol was skillful and superb.
Mr. McElreath is the only one of the present representatives from this county standing for re-election and it
would be unwise to put in an entirely new delegation in this crisis.

FRIENDS THINK HE
WILL LEAD TICKET
The friends of ' Bob" Blackburn are
predicting freely today that he not rally
will be named one of Fulton’s three
members in the house of representa
tives tomorrow, but that he will lead
the ticket.
They point to his previous three terms
and the excellent record he made; the
splendid recognition given him by the
speakers in committee appointments,
and his wide personal popularity as
three winning factors in tomorrow’s
contest. They also point with pride to
the almost unanimous indorsement ac
corded him by the Atlanta bar. of
which he is a prominent member.
“Everybody seems to be for 'Bob.' ”
said one of Mr. Blackburn’s admirers
today. "He will run away with the
field. The people know him of old. and
they' approve of him, too!’’

SOME
Reasons Why Judge
Pottle Should Be Re-
Elected as Judge of
the Court of Appeals.
1. Because of his
conceded learning,
impartiality, up -
rightness and ex
perience as a judge.
2. Because of his
conceded high per-
I sonal character.
3. Because he is the
only representative
which that whole
section South o f
Atlanta has on the
bench.
4. Because the present
opposition to him
comes, contrary to
all precedent, after
he has held the
position only si x
months.
5. Because we need
men on the bench
who know the law.
