Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1904-05-05

Four years ago Mr.. Bryan
said; Il consider Judge Parker
an able, conscientious and ener-
getic statesman, broad minded
and full of progressive ideas"
Last week, souerd by the pros
pect of his own eclipse, the
Nebraskan said: Judge
Parker is not a fit man to be
nominated by any party that
stands for honest or fair deal
ings in politics. Mr.. Bryan
wanted Judge Parker then as a
running mate, now he wants any
old thing except harmony in
the democratic party.
Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1904-05-05
Disgusting Politics

One objection to the election OF
Judges by the popular vote was
brought out strongly on April
20 tn in the contest between C.
f. Gober and N. (. Morris.
They claim Judge Gober, on cleo
ton day stood at the pools at
Marietta and took down the
names of every man who came
up with friend of Morris. It is
charged that this was a form of
intimidation. It is stated that in
Forsyth county the executive
committee has thrown out
seventy-fve votes that we're cast
by negroes for Gober. If this is
true and the state committee
should throw out the single pre-
cinct of Morganston in Fannin
county, it would throw the elect
ion to Morris.
1t was in Fannin that such an
amount of fraud is said to have
been perpetrated. In three pre-
cincts only one vote in each was
counted for Morris, to forty or
fifty for Gober, and in the Nor
ganston precinct but six votes
were counted for Morris, while
more than twenty afidavits have
been made by men who say they
voted for Morris. In Gilmer
county about two hundred and
fifty men who had voted the Re-
publican ticket, but who took the
oath to support the Democratic
nominee, we're not allowed to vote
and went off and voted in box
of their own for Gober.
Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1904-05-05
Planning His 1onors.

There is a funny little story
going round in certain congress
sional district to the effect that
the present representative in
congress has a great political flu
ture mapped out for himself. He
will decline to stand for re-e1ec-
ton two years hence, but will
make the race for governor and
after he has distinguished him
self in that Office, he will be in
position to step into Senator
Bacon's shoes, so the story goes.
1t is not related whether he
has designs on honors beyond
that of U. S. Senator, but he evil
IDENTIFY has concluded that there
is ample time for speculation on
that point.
This story reminds us of a
scheme mapped out by the same
politician some eight or ten years
ago. He aspired to go to the
National convention, thence on
the committee of notification to
the nominees, which would give
opportunity for making a favor
able impression on the president
to-be who would of course honor
him with an appointment to
the governorship of a western
territority, thence to the U. S.
senate when the said territory
took the rank of statehood.
The fellow evidently has a
good imagination and an ambi-
ton that would make the average
man decent citizen.

Official Arrogance.

lerprlSe, that stephen HalSey
was the victim of condition
that is to be deplored, (and of
course discouraged by the En-
terprise.)
What we say on the subject
may give offense, and would pro-
badly be avoided by a man of
policy, but as our very nature
rebels at the suggestion of policy,
which is another name for
cowardly se1fshness, we will say
here in all fairness and without
one iota of malice what appears
to be our duty.
We don't know great deal of
Stephen Halsey, and have no in
terest in him personally or
otherwise, except that which
naturally emenates from a dis
position to see every man treated
fairly.
We write this without any de-
tailed knowledge of his service.
If we were going to criticise or
defend that, of course we would
first seek the information, but
that is not our purpose.
He may have been an incapa-
BILE or unfaithfu1 officer, although
we have never heard that he was
derelict in any particular, or in
competent.
But the question suggested is,
was he politician enough? It has
been intimated that he was not.
Not by Mr.. Halsey or any friend
of his. We have heard nothing
from him directly, or indirectly.
But we have somehow got item
the impression that there is too
much politics about the city
hall. 1t is an indication of rot
tenness and decay, and is, to say
the least, regretab1e.
1t seems to be generally
understood that certain things
in political way are ex-
pected of every man who holds a
position under the city council.
We do not know the new super
tendent well. He is proba bly, quite
as capable as Mr.. Halsey or Mr..
Urmey and will, no doubt, be as
faithful. But, if he doesn't
measure up to the political stand
ard there may be a disposition to
make another change in the
superintendency within the next
few months. We charge Mr..
Stever nothing for the tip.
1t frequently occurs in county
as well as municipal affairs, that
around the court house, as the
city hall, the cluster becomes
corrupt and arrogant. Then it is
IN order for the people to rebel.
A reform campaign is usually an
effective remedy. We have even
had it intimated that a council
man who runs counter to the
administration, need not expect
any favors, or even justice.
Now the Enterprise is dead
agin" such condition, and we
