To the Editor Of The Journal:
AS no one has written from our county
(Paulding). TO the joint debate, I will en-
deavor to let the people know something
about how we stand regarding the cam
paign for governor. do not believe In
personalities but 1 do think that the
Hon. ]. NJ. Terrell has the right to defend
his highly honored name. 1t will be hon
ored on June 5th with a hearty support
by the thinking people Of this part OF
the state. There are plenty Of men in this
section who can't be blown about by every
little puff OF political wind.
1t seems passing strange that we have
always elected such ignorant men to the
general assembly that they could not at
tend TO any OF the important issues OF the
state. don't think We win need any
more II the Hon. Dupont Query is elected,
as he Is able to run the whole business.
But I am glad to know there are plenty
OF patriotic men left yet who think that
the people ought to have voice In the
affairs Of the state. AS to prohibition,
Mr.. Query nor any of his friends have
showed any great thing he has accom-
plished in that direction. And If they
want the voters of Georgia to believe he
is such a great prohibitionist they had
bet,er hunt another record. know some
of the strongest prohibitionists in this part
of the state who will support Mr.. TerreH
because they would rather risk the affairs
Of prohibition in his hands than Mr.. Guer-
rvs. They believe he will 90 every
thing in his power TO advance the cause
of prohibition in the future, as in the
past, as his record shows 1 ask every
fair-minded voter Of Georgia. can any
man do more than that?
Now, this way of preaching one thing
and doing another and fooling the people
thereby. is thing of the past.
- ~ -
lieves that the people should have
voice in what they want, which is their
constitutional right.
Now, Mr. Guerry, show us your ability
by some of your work in the past.
I never saw such a splutter over any
thing as there is over Mr.. Terrell's For
syth speech. Somebody got hit sure.
think he had a perfect right to say it
after what Mr. Query and others had
said Of him. But they can't turn the
thinking people of Georgia that way. and
Ithope the friends OF Mr.. Terrell will not
interfere with Uncle Sam Jones. as every
thing he says wins votes for Mr.. Terrell.
whom we are fully confident will be the
next governor Of Georgia.
According TO Mr.. Guerry's statement
there is one Of the worst looking scare
crows in the state capitol that has ever
been heard OF. It's head is made Of anti
prohibitionists. it's body is the railroad
lobbyists, the arms free passes and feet
tax-dodgers and extra fees.
It seems that none Of the general as
semblies nor governors have had the
courage TO approach this fery-eyed
monster and tear 1t down.
But Mr.. Guerry says he is the man 10
down with il. CBUt who believes he WILD
If such a thing really is there. I do not
believe he would go near il unless IL was
TO affiliate with II as he has done in the
past. Mr. Terrell Is the man, repeat. for
governor and let's see to it, fellow cfti-
zens. that he is elected on June 5th.
Very respectfully,
o. H. CRANE.
