Warm Springs, Ga., July 17.—While William Travera Jerome was talking several men Monday afternoon, converaatlon drifted to active cam palgns for political office. He wgs told something of the present gubernatorial campaign In Georgia, of which he had heard a little. "I heard thla campaign had been go lag on for elx months, but a year la mile more than I can Imagine,” said Mr. Jerome. “Six weeks Is enough for me. In my last campaign 1 spent six weeks st steady work for the office district attorney and It was rather strenuous In tbs extreme. 1 should think the people would get thoroughly worn out with a campaign lasting yesr.” Political methods, as pursued In se curing offlee, were touched on by the men talking and on the subject Mr, Jerome seemed to have decided Ideas, u he has on most everything else. “I don't believe It Is necessary for man to become a demagogue to be elected to office In America. I have always held In my own campaigns that there were enough people who thought to elect, and with that Idea I have gone In and dealt with the Issues as they seemed to me to require. 1 have no faith In the trumpery of the dem tgogue. "Speaking of political campaigns,' continued Mr. Jerome, "the only time 1 ever saw any reason to be at all sorry lor having the support of newspapers was timing my last campaign. There were three or four of the reporters who went around with me all the time and I was making five speeches a night. As those reporters were always on hand taking down everything I said, I had to get a new speech every night and they hnd me going there for a while. "However, newspapers are great thing*. I have many friends among the reporters of New York. I have h«d so much to do with them in the l»»t few years that 1 have come to •now them and their game.

At present none of the city officials seem to be exactly clear as to ths answer, but at the next meeting of the tax committee {his subject will be freely discussed by a number of the local In surance men. The committee will then decide whether or not there are any Insurance brokers In Atlanta. At tha present time no Ineurance man In the city le charged the 1200 In eurance broker's license, although a case Is pending against C. H. Girar deau, a wall-known real estate man of this city. W. P. Pattlllo brought tha matter to it Is claimed that Mr. been writing lire Insurance without li cense. It ts further claimed that Mr. Girardeau baa been writing Are Ineur ance for J. L. Riley agency. ■There has not been for a number of year*, any Insurance brokers licensed In Atlanta, all the business being writ ten direct through .the local agents, and It Is contended by Mr, Girardeau that the Venable law wes made to provld In companies not authorised to do bus iness In the state, thus securing for the city a 8200 tax on such business. To Impost a tax on the business he has placed with the Riley agency. It la contended, would'result In double tax ation, as not only a percentage of premiums la paid upon it, but tha reg ular agent's license fees for that agen cy. on the other hand. It Is alleged that Mr. Girardeau haa not acted strictly as a solicitor, but has placed his business with the Riley agency and received a commission on It. Ha Is at present a candidate for treasurer of Fulton county, and alleges that poli tics Is behind the present charge made against him. Should the tax commis sion rule that ha Is liable for tne tax a number of other Are Insurance solic itors In the dty may be affected. Some year* ago the city attorney made a ruling In a com similar to the one now before the tar committee. The city attorney ruled that tha man was an Insurance broker. It Mr. Girardeau le taxed 2200 It will set a prestige and many more Insur ance men In Atlanta will be subjected to the same license.
