CAPT. J. H. LEO WAS
NOMINATED BY MASS
MEETING LAST NIGHT
FOR ALDERMAN ON
PEOPLES TICKET
Judge Courtland Symntes
and Col C. P. Goodyear
were the Speakers
POLITICIANS WERE SCORER
Judge Synimes Paid Compliments to
Cot. Goodyear and Told of Good
Work He Has Done For
Brunswick.
Ca.pt. J. H. Leo.
That is the name of the gentleman
who was nominated for the fourth
place on the People’s municipal ticket
at last night’s mass meeting, which
was a large and quite an enthusiastic
one.
Judge Courtland Symmes was the
star speaker of the evening ana
previous to the nomination held me
attention of the crowd for fully an
hour, in which, he handled the politi
cians and political met nods iu Hruns
wick without gloves. He extolled the
many good qualities of Col. Goodyear
aud declared that no man in ah
Brunswick possessed to a higher de
gree the civic pride and energy of the
4J|ple’s candidate. Judge Symmet
pmnted out that Col. Goodyear haci
always been a prime mover in ah
movements looking to tne betterment
of Brunswick; that he first moved in
tne interest oi Brunswick’s first
banking house, that through his ef
iorts the Oglethorpe hotel came to
Brunswick; that he was instrumental
in bringing to this city capitalists ol
every kind and that for years he hau
been a material factor in the growth
and development of Brunswick. Judge
Symmes said that during the time
Col. Goodyear was building hotels and
lounding banks his opponent was pass
ing bills to give the city of Bruns
wick the 'present city court; that he
passed this bill through the legisia
lure, without ever giving the people
of Brunswick a chance to express a:i
opinion on it, and that it had cost
the people of Glynn aounty thou
sands and thousands of dollars. Hi
pointed out that the fact that when
Capt. Symons passed the bill creating
the present city court that the old
ring was in power and tnat oue of its
advocates was its first judge. Judge
Synimes said that in those day the
city court had no solicitor and that
there are many people in Brunswick
who regret that the same conditions
do not prevail to-day. He said that
tnere were no more factions In Bruns
wick and Glynn county and pointed to
a dozen or more officials now Holding
office who did the same thing under
the old ring. Judge Symmes an
nounced tnat the man who iutimateu
that he was trying to place those
who were defeated by the Good Gov
ernment club back into official places
was a liar out of the whole cloth, lie
challenged amy man present to show
one act that Capt. Symons had ever
done for Brunswick, und character
i zed him as the old tellow who rec<>m
mended his son as “having the great
est desire and the least capability tor
office of any man In the world." He
said he expected to make many more
speeches iu this campaign and if the
officers and politicians did not come
out to hear him he would speak at
the front gates. He touched up the
trolley itaso, and urged the people to
get together.
Judge Symmes pointed out the fact
that Brunswick was to be a great sea
.port, and he believed Col. Goodyear
was the man to place at the helm of
a rapidly growing city. He said some
of the enterprises brought to Hruns
wiett through the offices of Col. Good
year, such as the old car line, the
hotel at St. Simon, the Brunswick
Company, etc., had failed, but while
Brunswick received the benefits
of tnem and that people made
money rapidly, anr it **a due to a
great financial panic that they failea.
Hf dosed statonwu
hs we* 14 the emnpetga to tfc*
finish and expected to make Goodyej
speeches all over the city.
Cos!. Goodyear was next called for
aud made a splendid talk. He sad
he loved Brunswick too well to say
unkind things of his fellow-citizens;
he wanted to see Brunswick grow and
prosper and whether elected mayor
or not would work all his days to tha:
end. He said that it had oeen charg
ed that he was visionary, and he point
ed out tne fact that to be vision try
meant to be a firm believer In ones
city, to tavor better schools, bettor
sanitation, a system of paved streets,
aud a healthier civic pride, together
with a. healthier condition ,in , Bruns
wick generally, then he van guilt/.
He said the afternoon papdr in an
editorial had charged him with strad
dling, and had charged discourtesv
because he had failed to give that
publication a copy of his tetter of as
ceptance. His legs were too short, he
said, to straddle, aud the xact of the
matter was he only gave his letter 01
acceptance to the notificat’on com
mittee of the mass meeting ana
asked neither of the local papers to
print it. Witn reference to the straA
tiUug proposition he said he stood ior
"Progress and Prosperity, a system
01 trolley lines in Brunswick at au
early date, and lastly, for municipal
ownership, whenever that condition
should become practicable. He said
the only way to secure control of the
present light and water plant was to
buy It, and that as boob as the city
was In position to do that ne favefi-ea
it. 001. Goodyear was roundly ap
plauded as he took his seat.
Clia!rn\an Lambright announced
that the uext thing irf order was the
nomination of an alderman to take
the place of j. C. Ligeour, retired
trom the ticket, and instantly Capt.
VV. IL Dart placed in nomination the
name of ckpt. J. H. Leo’in a neat and
complimentary manner. A half dozen
seconds came from all over the house
and finally a motion prevailed that
a committee ask Capt. Leo, over tne
phone, as he was not present, if n<
would accept the nomination W. P.
Bailey was named on the commute 3
and in a few- minutes returned an t
stated that the captain said he wouw
accept.
The motion was put and was unan
mously carried not a dissenting vote
appealing. No other nominations were
made and tha nomination of . Capt.
Leo was roundly applauded
Capt. Leo is among the prominent
business men of this city, icing en
gaged in the stevedore busiress on a
large scale. He resides in New
Town and will, of course, poll a large
vote in tnat section ot' the city, no
is well known and is unusually popu
lar in the marine circles of the city.
Judge J. T. Lambright presiden
over The meetlifg with ease and dig
nity and in the aosence of Secretary
Ligeour, A. H. Crovatt, Esq. actea
as secretary. Before adjourning a
motion prevailed that the chair name

the action of the meeting and the
chairman named the same committee
that acted in that capacity at last
Monday night’s mass meeting.

He has held meetings in Brunswick
on a number of occasions, and when

enough to accommodate the crowd
could be secured. He has visited this
city for the purpose of holding revival
meetings and he has been here merely
to deliver lectures, but In either
event he has always pleased large
crowds.
He had a reputation over the en

greatest evangelist of the present

Brunswick is soon to see some
thing new in the way ot excellent pas

been longing for. Last year whi-n the
rew A., B. & A. coaches were placed
on the run between Brunswick ana

their heavy winter traffic, every one
who saw them said they were the

line has received from Chicago a
dozen or more of elegant sixty toot

der of all passengers, no matter from
v hat part of the country they come.
These coaches, Instead of boin
supplied with the small metal-blade
electric fans as were those of last
year, have four large ceiling fans in
the body of the car. These fans have
lour blades about twenty-tour Inches
long. Under each fan is a cluster
cl six electric lights, while all along
rach side of the coach, aDove tne win

the stained glass trimmings are the

Steam heat of the latest pattern ot

tne new equipment as comtortable in

mat this work had been called off by

mat the company had called In tne

Among other things the speclflca
t ons call for a large automatic rail

tne first to be erected In this port by

The fact that this work at the Tur
