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. The 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 Asa G, Candler, Edward C Peters, Thomas Egleston, Claude C Mason, J.

There had been "rumors' nf Tom and all that 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 after Hjidson had been persuaded to give up a well started congressional rate, and had been assured of much factional and anti-Sla ton support, not to mention a supply nf necessary "long green" upon which turned a subsequent tragedy sad to re late. but not particularly to the purposes of this comment Joe Hill Halls candidacy began well nobody knows exactly when it did begin.

Jack Slaton has "pur over another one," or the “dope’s ' all wrong And 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 demol ition 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 wide per sonal popularity. The impression seems to be that Jack Slaton is safe and sane, and will make a rational and entirelv acceptable governor. And. oh yes! this campaign has been conducted without campaign managers! And for that —no doubt here and there, many thanks! DOORKEEPER OF ALABAMA HOUSE DIES AT ANNISTON ANNISTON.

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 bls 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. Epson and Jasper. As the plurality rule obtains, however, ’he 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 he 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.

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. Blackburns admirers today "He will, run away with the field. The people know him of old. and they approve of him. too'" CHIEF BIG BULL MOOSE TO MEET WITH RED MEN <’H ARLESTON. S.

SOUTHERN RAILWAY. hospital 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. H. Cronheim, E.
