monarchy-sustained by force exerted

Clinch County News: We realize
that it is yet little early to begin
the campaign for Governor of Georgia.
to be elected in 1906 but already sew
eral candidates are in the field. and
we may express now, as later. our
choice of candidates for this great Of
fee.
When we have advocated a man in
past campaign who. in every way,
seemed best suited to fill this high
office. and who. in our opinion, is the
best representative of our people, and
that man is again candidate. we
would naturally be among his advo-
Gates. But this is not the only reason
why we will give our support to Hon.
]. H. Estill. He appears to us again
the same man as before, with the
same qualities. and better known
throughout the state.
Col. Estill is not a politician, never
has been one, and doesn't belong to
the ring of the state politicians. His
qualifications do not lie in the fact that
he has held office ever since he could
vote, for he has been before the peo-
pie but few times. He will not receive
the support of the politicians, and does
not expect it.
Col. Estill appears to us as one of
the purest types of a citizen. He is
honest in the strictest sense, public
spirited, and thoroughly business. He
started as boy in printing Office,
at the very bottom, and now he is
president of this great institution, the
Savannah Morning News, and one of
the most successful business men in
the state. He is the kind of man for
its executive head that Georgia needs.
We need a Governor who is a man
