■ A reporter fo
elved by The
onslderable
idly
leorglan. haying
heard it Intimated that Frank L. Har-
*Uon would at the proper time enter
the race for governor, called at his of
fice and put the direct question to
him:
“Are you a candidate for governor?**
to which he replied, "Yes, I am a can
didate tor governor ot the great, pro-
•elf, has been received by The Geor
gia.
"I am running as an Independent,
unorganized Democrat on the Republi
can platform—a big stick and a square
deal, subject to the Democratic pri
mary—if I am nominated. If I should
fall in the primary, 1 will continue In
the race until after the general elec
tion.
•I am a strong believer In free
paf-"f» on hailroads—they are more
c..n\-nunt than thousand-mile honks;
an<l . have always lm dim suspicions
about those books. I shall Immedi
ate!* make application to .Mr. Samuel
gper er for annual passes over his
Js In Georgia, and
begin a red hot canvass of the state.
••Ti e main Issue In my campaign
will be my patent medicine plank. You
are an are that patent medicine Is the
greatest menace at this moment to the
welfare and happiness of the people
of tills state. Railroad control and
nigger disfranchisement are nothing
to compare to the evil effects ot patient
medicine. Every Issue that my oppo
nent.- are storming the stump with
rales into Insignificance when com
pared to patent medicine. AU they
are Healing with Is Imaginary evils,
creatures of their own Imagination,
warning the people of what may hap
pen to them: mine is what has. Is and
ontlnue to make morphine vic
tims; of children, take the roses from
the Checks ot fair women, make pe-
runa drunkards of our ministers—and
then I what?
i«o am In favor of a strict pa-
1 the state line of Georgia for
•so of keeping nut that new
mosquito that the doctors found last
year in' New*. Orleans,

... he border and call’him by
new name they have given him
>rget what that Is. but we can
he patrol until they learn to pro
nounce It; and I have no doubt that
not a single mosquito will enter the
state after being called that name.
•What the farmers of this state
want to hear about are live Issues—
such as the boll weevil and cow ticks.
And can you remember a single In
stance where either one of my oppo
nents has ever mentioned one of these
live issues in this campaign? Every
one of them has had the distemper
since the campaign opened; but
neither one of them has known the
cause of the same. Yes, I believe In'
the extermination of the cow ticks.
"No, ] am not going to dodge tho
liquor question; I believe In local op
tion, high license and good whisky. I
believe every* man who Is granted a
license to sell whisky should be re-
* I u i i • 11 -••11 from tin f.uuft in the
barrel that has a double stomp on
the head of It; and to put any man In
the penitentiary for not less than five
years who sold or attempted to sell
anything but straight whisky. This
would knock all the hell out of tho
whisky.
"If the Populist party Is anxious for
a first-class man to accept the nomi
nation when they meet here on tho
Glorious Fourth of July, I am the fel
low. as I stand ready to accept any
nomination from any party.
"After the final election I am going
to take my annual passes and go to
each militia district in the state and
have all the farmers In their respec
tive districts meet me before the jus
tice of the peace and mak out an Item
ized statement of the amount that any
railroad has injured them, and have
them then and there swear to tho
same. Then after I have finished this
work and have been inaugurated I
will call upon Mr. Sam Spencer to pay
the same. If he refuses or even hesi
tates I WILL PASS A LAW MYSELF
to have every railroad In the state of
Georgia abolished. And then what? 1
am very* anxious that the voters ot
Georgia will not pledge themselves
any further than the Democratic pri
mary’, for I may have to continue in
the race. And then what?
1 am anxious about my friend* over
(he state of Georgia. Under no cir
cumstances would I have them to poll
the people In my Interest.
