SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS On Saturday. September 14. Repre sentative (Jordon Lee. of the Seventh district, will be renominated for con- JAMLS B NXcv3>r gress by his ad miring constit uents in conven tion assembled at Rome. The sixty-third congress will bt Mr. Lee’s fifth, and he looks good for many more u come, at that. Gordon Lee is one of the most efficient represen tatives Georgia ever sent to con gress. He is far from the most spectacular. but in the matter of getting results, his career has been rather remarkable. He is quiet and moves in a more or less mysterious way his wonders to per form, but he seems to be a howling success as a performer, nevertheless While it is an undisputed fact in the Seventh that Gordon Lee may hold his seat in Washington just so long as he pleases, it is an open secret, neverthe less, that, sooner or later, he would not object to being governor. There are wise ones all over the state who have long been looking upon Gor don Lee as most likely gubernatorial timber, and thinking that eventually, and at quite the proper time, he might easily be hewn into shape. . Like John M. Slaton, Georgia's next governor. Gordon Lee is possessed ot that most compelling and propelling as set. an ambitious, charming and alto gether politically astute wife. Mr. Lee admits, unhesitatingly, that Mrs. Lee is a far smarter and more accurate judge of precisely what is what politically than he. Much of his great success he frankly credits to Mrs Lee. In the event of Woodrow Wilson's election, Gordon Lee will be one of the commanding figures In the next con gress-- and that must work tremen dously to Georgia's benefit, for Loe is for Georgia first, last arid all the time. D>wn in Oconee county they are calling attention to ’he fact that "Old Jim” Price is the guy that put the "farm” in Farmington. One of the merry phases of our nev er-ending (although sometimes soft pedaled I factional warfare in dear old Jawjaw, is the care and erudite cir cumspection with which the so-called Smithites regularly call attention to the shortcomings, real and imaginary, of the so-called Brownites as the world wags along, and vice versa. In witness whereof, the following ex hibit: John Marshall Slaton spent some $12,000 having himself nominated for the governorship. This, carefully ex plains a Smith organ, “is more than twice” the amount of Mr. Slaton's scheduled salary for two years in the executive mansion—if Slaton can get his own consent to live in that barn. Ah, ves, indeed, chirrups a Rfown organ. Slaton did spend more than his entire salary for two years as govern or, but don’t you remember, gentle reader, that Hoke spent nearly three — ot was it four?—times his prospective salary when he was first elected? Neither side seems, in so far as some of the organs are concerned, able *o resist the temptation to nag! The public likely will conclude that both Slaton and Smith spent too much, all things considered. Still, it must be remembered that Slaton will succeed Brown, who succeeded Slaton, who succeeded PENCILS FREE Take your choice of any pencil In our stores when you buy a tablet —whether it is a five or ten cent tablet—pencil tablet or Ink tablet.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10. 1912 By JAMES B. NEVIN. Smith, who succeeded Brown, who succeeded Smith. Georgians, particularly of the "Bull Moose" persuasion, will be interested in learning that the urbane and smooth Mr. Ormsby McHarg, erstwhile Roose velt gum-shoe man at large in this vicinity, has promulgated an edict cut ting himself loose from the Rough Rider and his political organization. Mr. McHarg carefully considered things. He found himself, in spite of his former enthusiasm, growing cold toward the colonel. He began, much as he regretted it, to view with alarm where once he was wont to point with pi ide. Reluctantly, he became convinced that his idol's feet were of day, that Roosevelt's pat hands always were four-flushes and never full houses. Wherefore, Mr. McHarg took serious counsel with himself the other day, and flung up his job as gum-shoe artist for T. R.! True, there are those who meanly in sinuate that the colonel asked McHa g to quit, and to stand not particularly on the order of his quitting, moreover— but that may be a campaign short and ugly. And, whatever is what, anyway, it seems sure that McHarg is a bird, all right! Hon, Joe Hill Hall signed his campaign expense account “Jos. H. Hall." The gentleman's was not a "josh" campaign, at that, how ever. Politicians in Georgia who are con tinually prattling of "rotation in of fice"—a favorite warble of every "out” who an "in" would be—should consid er the sad case of T. F. Hill, of Banks county, and therein contemplate the anti-rotation idea run riot if not ab solutely amuck! T F, Hill has held office in grand old Banks for 44 years, and the hold ing still is good, so far as be can see. Not that the gentleman hasn’t ro tated a little, too, for he has, but that he never has rotated right out into the cold exactly! Away back yonder 44 years ago, Hill took over the job of tax receiver of Banks. This he held for four years, then he progressed to the ordinary's office. This job he liked so well, that he clung to it for a trifle of time repre sented by 32 years. Then he took a short near-recess and became senator from his district for two years. Then he yanked back that ordinary's job— and now he is completing his 44th year of continuous office holding. Os course, there may be records that beat Hill’s, but few people have knowl edge of them. Hill says he intends to hold on until death calls it all off. and nobody now has unmitigated nerve to argue the matter with him. SCIENTIST SAYS SPELLING BOOKS SHOULD BE BURNED DUNDEE. SCOTLAND.

Y. “BIG GAME” ONLY FOR BULL NOOSE I Therefore There Won’t Be Any Fight on Price—Big Row Is in View. There will be no "Bull Moose" can didate against James D. Price for com missioner of agriculture Representatives of both factions in the "Bull Moose" party in Georgia have seated most emphatically that there never was any serious intent to oppose Price, and that the so-called movement in that direction originated in a joke, pure and simple. H. G. Hastings, chairman of the state committee of one faction, said to day: "I know nothing of any serious movement to oppose Price. The 'Bull Moose' is after bigger game in Georgia than the commissionership of agricul ture. There never was any movement to put out a candidate for that job." J. St. Julien Yates, leader of another faction in the "Mooses,’’ said today: "There is nothing to the yarn about opposition to Price —there never was anything to it. It's silly." Chairman Harris, of the state Demo cratic committee, is being generally ap. proved for his decision to enter Price as a candidate for both the full and the unexpired terms as commissioner of agriculture. Many Democrats feel that Harris is pursuing an eminently safe and sane course along that line. The "Bull Moosers” are to have a big powwow at the Aragon hotel tonight, and, unless all signs fall, it is going to be more or less exciting. There are two factions in "Bull Mooosedom” In Georgia, and each is struggling for the mastery. For weeks, efforts to get these fac tions together have been under way. George W. Perkins. Senator Dixon and Mr. Roosevelt himself have been ap pealed to for help in patching things up, but things haven't been patched. Tonight representaives of both fac tions'will meet at the Aragon, and un less an honorable peace can be ar ranged. there likely will he interesting developments to follow. How’s This?
