GEORGIA
POLITICS
JAMES B-NTYIN
The Augusta Chronicle ventures >
the opinion that Mayor Bridges !
Smith, of Macon, “is popuiar with |
the newspaper men of the State,” and
believes that popularity may be more
than a municipal asset by and by, s >
far as its political value is coneerno 1.
It appears to be a fact that Bridge*
Smith is “an approved proposition, ’
as Harry Fisher would say, with the
newspaper out.lt ... Georgia, but
whether he eve will undertake to
cut a figure in State-wide politics is
rather problematical. Of course, if he
should, he, being himself an old news
paper man, might look Lot much sym
pathy among the press contingent in
Georgia.
Be that as it may, however, the
real secret of Bridges Smith's un
doubted popularity with the news
papers generally is that he is such a
good fighter!
He fights fair and square enough,
and he fights hard—to win! If he
loses, or even seems temporarily to
lose, he doesn’t “holler.”
That is a quality of statesmanship
much admired in Georgia, especially
among the newspaper men. Maybe
it is because the good fighter makes
for good “copy” on the desk, and
maybe it is because all the world
loves a good fighter, even as it lows
a lover. Whatever may be the big
cause behind the many causes of
Bridges Smith’s popularity in the
State, certainly his perfect willing
ness to give and take is one thing
that has made him many friends!
At present something of an effort
apparently is being made in Macon
to “trim the old man and reduce his
power.” That is none of the outside
world’s business, of course—and yer,
if it be true that Smith’s strength U
his popularity with the people, the ef
fort to “trim him” likely will result
only in making him stronger.
Anyway, it generally works out aft
er that fashion!
From all over Georgia come ex
pressions of extreme gratification
that Judson C. Clements is not to
be dropped from the Interstate Com
merce Commission to make room for
former Governor Glenn or anybody
else.
Much genuine resentment has been
manifested in this matter as it first
shaped up, and there is no doubt
whatever that a goodly measure of
it filtered through to Washington.
Georgia evidently was not going to
see Clements dropped without letting
it be known, even in the White House,
that the proposition met with scant
favor.
Not that Georgians have anything
in particular against Governor Glenn
— far he it fro such—but that Jud
son C. Clements is, and ha been '’or
years, recognized as one of the ablest,
purest and most truly constructive
statesmen the State ever produced.
It is Butts County’s time to name
the Senator in the Twenty-sixth Dis
trict, and already numerous candi
dates are coming forward, after a
tentative sort of fashion.
Representative Mills is “being urged
to enter the field,” Judge H. M.
Fletcher is* “in the hands of his nu
merous friends,” and one or two
more are about to be “mentioned.”
It is evident enough, even this ear
ly, that there is to be no lack of
Senatorial timber ready for use in
that neck of the woods when election
day comes along.
Editor Townsend, of the esteemed
Dahlonega Nugget, has his troubles
and vexations, the same as any other
editor.
In the current issue of his sprightly
weekly he says:
“On Saturday ..ight a party took
advantage of the darkness and rain
and threw a brickbat against one ct
our office doors where we sleep, after
we had retired, breaking the lock, the
bat passing on nto the back room,
where it struck the wall and fell to
the floor. Why was thi9 done? Simply
because ’ during our two years as
Mayor of Dahlonega we have been
endeavoring to hew to the line re
gardless of where the chips flew, to
accordance with the oath we took.
Of course, we have no positive evi
dence against the fellow just now,
and will give anyone $£0 with suffi
cient proof to convict, and in the
meantime have arranged to mirk
this party or any one else, should
they try such a thinr again, and
maybe save any expense or trouble of
an investigation. A little more than
50 years ago a man killed another
just a few steps from where this of
fice is located while rocking his
house. We hope such a thing will
not be repeated, but we must defend
our place of business.’’
C’olonel Wright Willingham, one of,
! the very livest wires in all North 1
j Georgia, or any other part of Georgia, !
for that matter, has a most outspoken
way with him now and then, and Jyat !
now his pet obsession is the Law En- !
forcement League of Rome,
• Mr. Willingham’s uncle, Seaborn
Wright, is the head and front of this
i league, and Mr. Willingham is the
| president of the local (’hamber >f
J Commerce. Hence they both cut con
siderable ice around and about Rome,
and when they lock horns the fur—
or something, whatever it is likely
will fly, Indeed, it may be said 1 ‘al
ready to have flown!”
Mr. Willingham recently denounced
:he Law and order Leaguers in the
Hill City as a lot of “stinkpots;" and
he put that right that way in The
Rome Tribune-Herald, and he let it
go at that!
He thinks the league busies itself
with "dago” soda pop venders who
operate on Sunday and lets all sorts
of big and influential whales slip
through with all sorts of Sabbath of-
fendings!
The Law Enforcement League has
not yet expressed its syndicated \nd
amalgamated opinion of Mr. Willing
ham. but those who keep tab on
things in Rome opine that that opin
ion, when it does come forth. Is g »
ing to be something almost unpleas
ant!
