‘;i WASHINGTON LETTER. m
Washington. City,
June 3, 1912,
Somehow I was made tosay last week
that the clection of Roosevelt seemed
likely. What I wrote was that Roose
velt’s nomination seemed likely. That
is the way it looks toime and for the sim
ple reason that I know what boodle,
bluff and bulldozing can do at Chicago.
Roosevelt is credited with 452 dele
gates and Taft with 488, Lafollette 36
and Senator Cummins 70, with 22 still
to be elected. The boodle of Wall
street and the methods of the Rough
Rider will find the 88 that Roosevelt
still needs.

The New York World, by long odds
the greatest Democratic paper in the
United States, and to my mind the
greatest newspaper §n the world, has
come out in a ringing editorial declar
ing that Woodrow Wilson is the man
for the Democrats to nominate. The
World did not take position until Wil
son had swept New Jersey and shown
his power to whip the political ring in
that State.
The reasons that are given by the
World are the same that I gave more
than a month ago—that Wilson is the
man who can carry New York and New
Jersey and that he is the type of man
to steer the ship in the storm that has
been raised by Rooseveltism and other
wild ideas thathave gotten such a start
in the country as to be a menace to
the stability of things.

view the situation with deep concern.
The next month is going to be sne of
suspense. There is no estimating the
consequences of a mistake by the
Democrats. The appeal of the New
York World is not an appeal for Wilson,
not an appeal for the Democratic party,
but an appeal for the Republic, to save
it from the greatest menace since the
war between the States.
* " *
The World shows that the natural
alliance is between the south and the
East, and the World is right. The
sympathy between the West and the
South is a myth. The people of the
Eastern States and the people of the
South have closer business relationsand
know each other ten times better than
the people of the West and the South.
New York is not very different from a
Southern town except in size. The
World is the paper that made the fight
that put Cleveland in the White House,
the only Democrat who has been
inaugurated since Buchanan.

The convention is going to be dead
locked. With all the delegates elected
except 146, Clark lacks 380 of the nec
essary 729, Wilson 499, Underwood 644,
Harmon 678. The World says Under
wood is unknown to the voters, that
Champ Clark would be hopelessly
beaten, that Bryan would lose again,
that Harmon’s nomination has been
rendered impossible and that Woodrow
Wilson alone has the record of continu
ing victory in the section in which vie
tory is essential to Democratic success.
And that is what your uncle said even
before Georgia threw away its vote
on Underwood.

WITH OUR EXCHANGES
Bernice Bell, a negro boy, was dis
charged from the Forsyth hotel last
Saturday morning and that night the
hotel was burned and Bell was arrested.
A dispatch to the Macon Telegraph
says: Mrs. T. S. Holland, wife of the
sheriff, on going out to the hen house
in the jail yard discovered an egg on
which were written the words ‘‘Bernice
Bell burned the hotel.”” It is an ordi
nary sized hen egg, but with the letters
slightly raised the inscription is easily
desciphered. Nearly all of the people
of Forsyth have been to the jail to see
this phenomenon. The strange appear
ance of the egg just at this time, with
its accusing inseription is creating con
sternation among the negroes.
Some ‘““Humble Subsecriber’’ to the
Milton County News, commenting on
MAKIETTA JOURNAL AND COURIER
I the efforts of the Tallulah Falls Conser
vation Association to interfere with the
|company now developing the water
Ipower of Tallulah, says:
“Let the power company alone. They
are doing a good job. Anything that
might help us to get an electric railroad
to Marietta or to Atlanta, will help the
poorest citizen of Milton county. Those
‘‘Beautiful (?) Falls’’ at Tallulah with
its fine hotels and dancing pavillions at
$3.00 a day for a room may be an all
right sort of a place for fancy rich
folks and silk worm promoters to flirt
around in days and dance away nights
spending the money we renters pay out
of our hard earned crops. What Mil
ton county wants is anything that will
make times better for the man who
works in a mill or.rents a farm. And
if electric power lines and electric rail
roads and electric lights, and public
works and more and more of them will
help ‘‘Big Business”’ they will at the
same time help every man, woman
and child in Milton county.
The republican postmistress at Gaines
ville seems to have a wonderful lot of
time and money to spend trying to
block off the biggest industrial devel
opment we ever had in Gedrgia. Are
the Milton county newspapers going to
stand for it?”’
Augusta is waging relentless war
against flies and giving children cash
prizes for their dead bodies. Both the
daily papers keep verses standing like
veritable calls to arms, in this war of
extermination. This is the -Augusta
Herald’s last verse in these battle
cries:
Swat! "Swat! Swat!
Rejoice at each one that you’ve got,
For each fly that you kill
Makes some bacillus nil,
So Swat! Swat! Swat!
Leading editorial in the last “Bartow
Tribune:
““Cleanliness is next to Godliness,
and self-preservation is the first law of
nature. Therefore, swat the fly!”’

*‘l want to thank you from the bottom
of my heart,”’ wrote C. B. Rader, of
Lewisburg, W. Va,, ‘“for the wonderful
double benefit I got from Electric Bit

of stomach trouble and of rheumatism,
from which I had been an almost help
less sufferer for ten years. It suited
my case as though made just for me,”’

BETTER PUBLIC HIGHWAYS
Hon. Gordon Lee in his recent speech
on the snbject of good roads said:
“If I had the privilege of writiralg
upon our statute books a law that h
more of the promise and potency for
immediate and lasting good to all the
people than any law that has been pro-
Eosed or discussed in this Hall, it would
e a law-creating a department of pub
lic highways, to act through and in con
junction with State, county, and munic
ipal authorities in redeeming our coun
try from the throes and thraldom of its
miserable roads, and I would give the
department not less than fifty millions
a year until the work had reached a
satisfactory stage of advancement.
Surely if we can go on spending hun
dreds of millions of dollars every year
in preparation for wars that may never
come, we can spare 2 few millions to
defend ourselves from the ravages of
bad roads, which are always here. A
certain and ever-present evil should
certainly command as earnest attention
and effort for its removal as the pre
vention of a possible one.”’
For Solicitor General.
To the Voters of the Blue Ridge Circuit:
I hereby announce for re-election to
the office of Solicitor General of the Blue
Ridge Circuit, subject to the Democratic
primary. If elected, Hon. Wm. Butt,
of Blue Ridge and Gordan B. Gann, Esq.,
of Marietta, willbe my assistants. The
faithful and impartial administration of
the criminal laws during the present
term is‘my pledge to the people of
what they may expect of me in the
future. Irespectfully solicit the support
of all the people. J. P. BROOKE.
For Solicitor General.
To the Citizens and Voters of the
Blue Ridge Circuit:
I respectfully announce myself a
candidate for Solicitor General of the
Blue Ridge Circuit, subject to the
Democratic primary. I will appreciate
the support and influence of all voters
and citizens of the circuit. If elected,
I will to the utmost of my ability dis
charge the duties of the office fairly,
honestly and impartially.
I believe that the present cost sys
tem of the Solicitor General’s office
has outgrown its usefulness, and as a
result, too many trival cases are
brought into the court house and
whether elected or not, I will advocate
the placing of Solicitor Generals on a
salary.
I will have associated with me as
assistants, if elected, JOEHN CoOLLINS,
of Cherokee county, and CHARLIE
HARRIS, of Forsyth county, and they
will appreciate anty help given me.
Respectfuliy,
HERBERT CLAY.
