Estill for the goVcrnorshlp. IN IN
first place we hold to the faith that
members of congress, who hold theft
places by the votes Of the people,
should not take part in the state cam
paens where the race is confined to
the democratic party There is only
one congressman. in Georgia who has

In Georgia. The only other man in
congress- from Georgia who has been
willing to take the unwise step IS
Brantley, OF the Eleventh. BranticY,
who of all Georgia congressman. had
perfect title to the position of sayins
nothing Several years ago when
Judge Spencer r. Atkinson. of TINS
city, was a candidate for governor
Mr.. Brantley did not think it was nee.
essary to go on the stump for him
and the paper of which Col EstiII IS
editor openly fought the candidacy
of Judge Atkinson. Four years ago
when Col. Estili was IA candidate Tor
governor, Congressman Branllcy was
content to loan his endorsement 10
the candidacy by a letter to Col. E5

He did not see the necessity OF taking
the stump then why in the nature OF

And again, Congressman Brantley Will
recall some rather unpleasant cores
| pondanee between the late lamentcd
Henry G.. Turner and Col. E8ull some
four years ago as TO who should rep
resent south Georgia i'll me guberna-
torial election soon to follow and II
will be remembered that Mr. Turner
took good care to state his position
very plainly and that his attitude did
not reflect very much credit on the
Savannah editor now aspiring to the
governorshp.
Is this one of the reasons that i'm
PEELED Congressman Bran,ley to take
the stump for Estill?
We are and have been an admirer
of Mr.. Brantley and We believe we
were among the first papers in Geor.
gia to nominate him for congress-, at
the same time Mr. Brantley is not in
fallable; he IL as liable to err as amy
of us and he has, in our humble opin
ion, erred and erred eggresioualy ia
the present race for governor It wa
,ot his fight. The entire diatricJ

eight years had nominated him
as their standard bearer yet he was
willing to incite the eamity OF Il large
aye, majority Of his own constlt
uents for the sake OF aiding a south
Georgian who failed to aid fellow
south Georgian when he was malins
the same race Mr.. Braulley is in IA
unique position in this tight-another
reason why he should have kept on,
of the contest He has been mention
ed as a probable dark horse in the
event the Macon convention becomes
dead-locked. Now why should not the
charge he made that he is lighting So
hard for Estill To bring about coudlt
ion where his name would have a
place in the conventlon9
Politics make strange bed-fellows
and Mr.. Brantley can only blame him
self and few others for the company
he is now hooked up with.
In the meantime ii Col. Estill hal
allowed Col Brantley to make the
race this year what evidence is there
that Mr. Brantley might not have had
the same complaint that Hon Henry
G. Turner had some four years ago.
Is Brantley lining up with the state
ring over the shoulders of Mr. EstilI
