The Hustler-Commercial is the only afternoon paper in Northwest Georgia. It has th combined circulation of the old evening Hustler of Rome and the Rome Daily Commercial and is THE OFFICIAL GAZETTE OF The City of Rome The City Marshal The Sheriff of Floyd County The Ordinary of Floyd Co, I I'Fiik Hustler-Commercial has the confidence of the classes and the masses—because it mer its and deserves the confidence of all its readers.

Candler who had any apprehension that there was mo''e Atkiti’on senti ment in the community than they believed, can rest easy af ter last night’s pitiful disclosure. Advertisements of the meeting in the three papers of the city for several days, the personal influence of legal friends of Judge Atkinson, the Kerr and Dunbar resentment growing out of a childish construction placed upon Candler’s telegram of congratulation to Mayor Walsh, the seductive influence of a brass band with transparencies and a train of electric cars from Har risburg, together with the val iant championship of the Her ald—all these infiences combin ed, were able to b.ing out only 250 people to hear Judge Spen cer Atkinson, a member of the railroad commission, ex-judge of the supreme court and candi date for governor, and of these 250, a conservative estimate places the number of Democrats at not exceeding 50.—Augusta Chronicle. And yet the Herald—that Sunday bull fighting exponent of Atkineonian Democracy and procurer of the Tom Hight ’etter claims Richmond county and the state for its unresignable champion. Richmond seems to be as safe as Floyd and Floyd will show by her returns some where near a ten to one vote for the old commoner, Allen D. Candler. Mark that prediction. The “little ring” kicks—all the same the people remain in the big ring. The ‘‘reformers” will again go down before the people. Mark that prediction. The Macon Telegraph said at theoutaet that Col. Candhr is an boiif-st man, and yet, because Col. Candler bas been compelled to ex pose the Telegraph nefarious methods that old republican siste r is howling. Capt. J B. Nevin has the deep sympathy of all Romans because of his unfor'unate illness. All of us hope for him a speedy and comp'ete recovery and that he may re'urn to his gallant commad at no distant date. The court officers of Floyd aie as deserving as the court officer of any other county —and the court officers of all other counties are regarded as worthy of their fees. Floyd is the only county with a Commissioner Featherston. That effort to twist Col. Can dler’s telegram to Mr. Walsh into a reflection upon Captain Dunbar and Mr. Kerr was be low the belt and was not worthy of Judge Atkinson. It was a petty appeal to local passion.— Augusra Chronicle. Comptroller General Wright is thoroughly capable of taking care I of himself. His communication on the first page of this issue is a brillirnt contribution to the lit erature of the present campa’gn in old Floyd. Capt. Wright knows how to quote the records. He al- I ways sticks to the truth 100. As an ed.tor, Judge Joel Bran ham is peerless. He made the Rome Georgian editorial page! sparkle line a diamond show case ' in a big j- welry store yesterday i morning. Judge Branham is as fine i an editor as he is a lawyer and he 1 is as able a lawyer as he is perfect 1 as a gentleman. vVho can coms j p iineut him higher. I ( The people have sense and , the people are not willing to < permit faithful and honest offi- 1 cials to be slandered out of of—! ‘ I flee by mud-slingers—no matter c how expert. The “ring” will I* defeat the self-styled “reform- a ers” by an overwhelming ma jority. Why? Why because the ® people are the ring. i JUDGE MADDOX. John M’’ddox is no chamele on in his politics. His record a as an open, clean book—not a spot of dishonesty or u blemish of demagoguery or political intrigue appears upon its pages. 'The plain, frank and open ele ment in this county and in this district are his supporters. Sift the crowd that is against him in this county and you will find a whole lot of them to be a crew of controllers, heelers, would-be republicans and malcontents. This set is displeased because he cannot be used and woofed and warped according to its im perious and unjust and unfair demands, and its unholy spleen crops out in the opposition to his candidacy. However, everybody. knows that Maddox will be nominated by an overwhelming majority and that no suspicious political alliances or official intrigues will be able to amount to any sort of respectable opposition. Even this county is not yet as sured io the score of his schem ing opponent. Murray county's Democracy and political gratitude cannot be traded and trafficked with by a few individuals now as it has been in the past and you may just mark.it down that our peo ple have and will exert their manhood at the polls and will prove to the world that no man can go to Atlanta or Carters ville or Rome or Dalton or any other town and pledge their suffrage without their consent and their unqualified approval. —Springplace Jimplecute. Only five more days and abso lutely no prospect of a joint de b te between Bob and Spencer. John Maddox remains at his post of duty. John Maddox can rest essured that the lovers of fair play will see to it that he is renominated by a handsome ma jority. Railroad Commissioner At kinson has dropped his cry of “there are no common people in Georgia.” This must have been a campaign of education for the martyr of the candler county contest. See that your ballot has the name of W. A. Wright for comp troller general, on it. Don’t let your partisan feeling get the better of your good judgement and cause you to scratch the name of such a pure, able, clean and fearless man from your ticket. Baby Mine!
