To be Taking Care of the
Generals Campaign
FRANK RICE AND JNO NELMS
KndTn. Ra Ba. Cobb and, Missionary
o ßrien Strike Editor Rerille ol
Meriwether as a Beautiful Qnartett
ol’Anrilic Patriots.
Iu his soeech at Carrollton last
Monday Gen. Evans said‘There is
no politician taking care of my cam
paign. A few personal friends.and
these among the best men in the
city „‘( Atlanta), are overlooking my
home work.
Ah Genera’, you must be very an
sopdisticated,indeed if you do noj
know that Frafik P. Rica,chairman o;
the Central Evans Dommittee.enjoyi
th e reputation of being the shrewdest
craftiest politician in Atlanta,anc
that because of these qualifications
he was chosen to direct your cam
paign.
No less distinguished in this
line is the rare and rubicund John
W. Nelms ex Principal Keeper of
the Penitentiary, etc., who is re
puted to be one of the most active
and indurtrious political mixers
in the state. The slatmnaking bus
inesa has long been a favorite pas
time with him, and we daresay he
could give points even to Frank
Rice.
And then there is Ta-ra-ra Cobb,
president of the Young Men’s Ev
ans Club and ex-president of the
Young Men’s Democratic League.
He is no slouch himself, when it
comes to laying pipes for a“spon
tanious movement*’ such as the
Evans boom bas been.
Frank O'Brien is no tyro in pol
itics either. For the past three
weeks he has starring it
through Georgia with his little
hand satchel, and is credited with
having made some remarkable
conversions to the Evans cruse.
We do not pretend to know the
secret of his influence, but it is a
foregone fact that he deadens the
timber wherever he goes.
lhese are only sample products
of the Atlanta political hot-bed,
but it is enough to show that the
General 8 campaign is in experi
enced hands, and we are surprised
that he doesn’t know it. They are
moving heaven and earth for their
candidate, too, and it is really un
kind of the General to refer to
their valued services in so flip
pant a tone.
