Atlanta Constitution; On another page

port of the speech delivered in Rome yes
terday by Hon. Allen D. Gambler. We
commend this speech to the careful atten-
ton of the white voters of Georgia. 1t will
we'll repay close reading. 1t is so strong.
so characteristic of its author, that those
who know him well can almost hear his
voice and see his gestures as they read. 1t
betrays the individuality which marks the
old-fashioned Democrat.
E. NJ. Seabrook will oppose o. P. Poe for

Albany Herald: What's the use of joint
debates? The candidates for Governor seem
to be getting up trouble among themselves
without one.
Augusta Chronicle: We have often heard
about making Rome howl, bur If there was
not something of this kind in the seven
hilled city on Saturday, when Hon. Allen
D. Gambler fired his first gun in the gu
bernatorial canvass, then Romans are no
longer responsive TO manly and uncompro-
missing utterances. 1t is a fine speech; a
strong speech from start TO finish; Dem
ocratic speech, and a vote maker.
Macon Telegraph: Judge Atkinson's spir-
tied reply TO Col. Gamblers letter declin-
ing to engage in joint dehates has pros
duced something of a sensation. Up TO this
time the colonel has had somewhat of a
monopoly in the letter writing business, but
Judge Atkinson turns out to be something
of letter writer himself The main point
in Col Gamblers reply to the invitation
barring personal intimations,I was that
there was nothing between them to dis
cuss. The Judge raises some unexpected
issues in regard to the colonels political
record and affiliations. Naturally these
things bring on more talk and we do not
see how joint debate can now be avoid
ed-at least through the newspapers.
Augusta Chronicle The reports of the
speeches of the candidates for Governor,
and the open letters that have been writ
ten, show how the campaign goes neces-
sarily into personalities. With the three
men present on the stage and smarting
under the irritation of these things uttered
in their hearing and applauded by the
crowd, the degree of bitterness would ra-
pidly increase. There is no need for joint
debates
