Not a pop in the senate or a
negro in the house !
Mrs. McKinley has the deep
sympathy of an entire nation.
The Hogan launch is beyond

The “Bloody Seventh” gave 1
Candler over 7,000 majority.

Atlanta seems to have all the ’

“There are. no reserved seats

Signed—“ Allen I). Candler.”
Why don’t Spain call the
game, if she don’t like the official

Senator Fouche’s majority is
clean— and a lulu. Major Fouche
is popular in more than three
counties.
George Saxton owed it to bis
sister to have been a better
man— or at least —a more care
ful man.
Uncle Allen carried the Sev

cool 10,000.
i Talkinj about majorities, do
you know a state senator who
can show a finer one than Sena
tor Bob Fouche?
Add Floyd’s vote to Governor
Candler’s majority of 67,923
and you have 69,005 fur the
“Plowboy of Pigeonroost.”
The last slang synonymn for
“our set” or “our crowd” in
Philadelphia is “our bunch” —
later on it will be “our cluster.”
Gov. Candler’s majority on
the percentage basis breaks all
records for the state of Georgia.
Let Judge Spence go meet the
“common people.”
Here’s to Editor Patillo and

1 It seems now that Hon W .A.
• Dodson, of Americus, is to be
elected president of the state
senate this fall without opposi
tion. This is as it should be.
Mr. Dodson, as. speaker pro-
• tom of the last house made a
mcdel presiding officer and will
. do as much in the senate. He is
a man with a brilliant future
ahead of him. His well deserved
popularity has in no wise turn-
’ ed his head, and his friends over
this way note with much pleas
ure this i ew honor that is soon
tc befall him. We doff our hat
to “the senator from the 13th,”
and the next president of the
senate, Hon. Win. A. Dodson.

The Sunday Constitution
gives a tabulated return of I
the election showing that 136
counties give Governor Candler
a majority of 67,923 By some
means the county of Floyd is
left out of the table. Floyd, how
ever, is still in Georgia,and adds
1272 to the Candler majority,
making Governor Candler a net
majority of 69,005 votes.

We feel very proud that we
were one of the original Candler
men in Georgia. His majority
of over 25,000 more votes than
Atkinson got two years ago,
shows that other people in Geor
gia thought a right smart of the
one eyed pigeon rooster. —

Col. Candler is governor. Has
Tom Height written him a con
gratulatory letter? Tom is pret
ty quick on the pen himseli.—
Augusta Herald.
Not quicker on the pen than
the Herald is on political
“scoops,” surely.
There is such a thing as being
too ardent. The claim of 100,-
000 majority for Candler was
too wild.—Augusta Herald.
> Another Tom Height letter
i might have done it—why didn’t
you try it?
’ Uncle Allen’s majority is
> nearer 85,000 than it is the 50,-
• 000, which the anti-Candler press
accords him. The official figures
will show that your Unci'* Al
len has won by about 70,000
’ majority.
Matt Quay is in a “close

The anti-Candler press is still
persistently hugging “a 50,000
majority for Uncle Allen,’ when
in truth—and they know the
I majority is nearer SO,OOO.
