Less than 700,000 people voted
Sept. 8 out of a registration of 1,200,
000. When the people vote, there is
action. If they are silent, progress
sleeps.
Saturday, September 25, the people
of Cleveland will elect a Mayor.
We do not know who will offer, but
it is your solemn duty to vote. Cleve¬
land needs a Mayor who can devote
some time to the city’s affairs so
that we can continue to move for¬
ward.
Cleveland needs another clean-up
campaign. Can’t we arrange to have
one soon?
Where will Georgia’s 12 electoral
votes go—to the Democrats or the
Dixiecrats ?
Herman Talmadge’s election Sept.
8 made Georgia history. It marked
the second time a son of a former
Georgia Governor was elected chief
executive of the state. The other:
Gov. Joe M. Brown, son of the fa¬
mous “War Governor” Joseph Emer¬
son Brown, who served all during the
War Between the States.
Judge J. H. Hawkins defeated Joe
Quillian for Justice of the State Su¬
preme Court.
Governor Thompson appointed L.
C. (Tiny) Groves to fill the unex
pired Jenkins, term of Chief Justice W. Frank
which will be January, 1949.
KEEP ( LEVELAND CLEAN
Complete returns from 1,731 of the
State’s 1,740 precincts gives Herman
Talmadge .812 county unit votes to
M. E. Thompson’s 98. Talmadge had
854,586 popular votes to 309,085 for
Thompson.
The course of the victorious Tal
madge administration will be watched
nationally, as well as locally. It is a
fact, somewhat ironic, that the Tal
indage platform promises the Negro
more than ever promised before in
Georgia, within the framework of
separation. If the Talmadge admin¬
istration should do a vigorous job in
behalf of Negro education, health,
and welfare—all promised in the Tal¬
madge platform, it is not inconceiv¬
able that 1950 would find at least
some Negro support of the Talmadge
organization.—Ralph lanta McGill, The At¬
Constitution, 9-11-48.
A natural law which is an inevi¬
table and basic as the law of gravity
cannot be set aside by any law even
of Congress. Freedom is more honest
than government and so much more
productive.
points Everything that is happening now
to the fact that if we now con¬
tinue to substitute expediency for
faith in freedom we are on the road
to weakening idea more and more the cen¬
tral upon which the Republic
was founded. We are on the way to
covrupation and disintegration.

“JEKYLL RESORT FOR UEOPLE,”
TALMADGE SAYS
Herman Talmadge indicated yes¬
terday that he plans to develop
Jekyll Island as a “resort for the
people,” but that he would not be
adverse to Georgia selling the island
if the State could get back the
money it has put into the coastal
playground. sell if Geor¬
“I would be glad to it
gia could get back the money the
State has put into it,” he said. “But
the State already has spent millions
of dollars on it.
“Jekyll Island now belongs to the
people of Georgia, however, and I
hope we can develop it as a resort
for th epeople. If not, I am in favor
of making a rest home for old people
or veterans out of it.”
Talmadge, who opposed the pur¬
chase of Jekyll Island by the State,
made the purchase one of his cam¬
paign issues, declaring he thought
the money could have been used" to
better advantage in providing other
services, such as hospital facilities,
for the people of Georgia.— Atlanta

Political note: Some GOP leaders
are more concerned with contests for
the Senate than with the presidential
race. The reason- is that the Demo¬
crats need to gain only four seats to
control the Senate, and they have
some excellent candidates in the run¬
ning in states where the vote may be
extremely close.

A Champion Home Town considers the
farmers in its area. Farmers become a
part of community life — they are in¬
cluded in the town's activities, meetings
and plans.
Remember that the farmer not only
sells his produce in your town — he also
buys merchandise, clothing, equipment,
which are sources of income for your
merchants.
So make your neighboring farmers
feel welcome—they will shop and spend
in your town, rather than in a com¬
munity equally distant but with less
consideration for their requirements!
