Georgia needs business man for
Governor. Col. Estill fills the bill.
Busy as he has always been, Col. Es-
till has not been a business man whose
sole idea is the pursuit of a dollar. He
has not been a business man who with
flourish taboos politics and affects to
despise party organization. Col. Es-
till has served the party and the pub
lie both as chairman of the State DEM
ocratic Executive Committee and as
member of the National Democratic
Executive Committee. In each position
he rendered the party and the people
faithful and efficient service.
A good many seem to have forgot
ten this. He is not the tyro in poll
tics that many seem to imagine.
Col. Estill is able, clean and candid.
He never wabbles when asked a ques-
ton relating to the public interest and
the public welfare. He speaks right
out That is the manner of man whom
the masses of the people delight to
honor. Get the thought into the minds
of the people that Col. Estill will give

see them rallying to his standard in
every county in the state.

Oconee Enterprise: The way Fellow
Devil Estill and Bro. Query are gain
ing strength. it'll come to light about
June 5 that Hon. Josephus didn't have
such walkover as you once heard.
Griffin News: We see where Col Es-
till has been setting type in some of
the North Georgia offices. This Is d
way of paying his expenses that the
other candidates do not have. We will
give the Colonel a days work almost
any time he wants to drop in this
place.
Baxley News Banner: Hon. j. H. Es-
till, candidate for Governor, was in
town Monday shaking hands. He made
a short speech at the noon recess of
City Court to a good audience. His
friendly and genial manner combined
with his straightforward manner of
expressing himself, was appreciated,
and his short stay here has won for
him many friends.
Dalton Argus: Col. ]. H. Estill of
Savannah, Democratic candidate for
Governor of Georgia, was in Dalton a
day or so this week. Col. Estill al
ready had a strong following in Whit
field county, and his coming has in
creased his strength considerably. He
takes we'll with the people and makes
friends fast. The voters only have to
meet Col Estill to realize that he is
a very strong factor in the guberna-
torial race. He has no pet schemes,
is the tool of no faction, but is a
broad minded Christian gentleman
lust the kind of material Georgia needs
for Governor. If the people have the
saw so. and it looks like they will, Col.
Estill will be the next Governor of
Georgia.

that our old friend. Glen G. Moore of

expect something better of the next
General Assembly.
