Capt. j. II. Leo.
That Is the name of the gentleman
who was nominated for the fourth
place on the Peoples municipal ticket
was large and quite an enthusiastic
one.
Judge Courtland Symmes was the
star speaker of the evening ana
previous to the nomination held the
attention Of the crowd for fully an
hour, in which he handled the politf-
c.ans and political methods in Bruins
wick without gloves. :1e extolled the
many good qualities OF Col. Goodyear
and declared that no man in ali
brunswick possessed to a higher de-
gree the civic pride and energy OF the
Apples candidate. Judge Symmes
pointed out that Col. Goodyear hao
always been a prime mover in al
movements looking to the betterment
of Brunswick; that he first moved IN
the interest on Brunswlcks first
banking house, that through his ef-
1orts the Oglethorpe hotel came to
brunswick; that he was instrumental!
in bringing to this city capitalists Oh
every kind and that for years he hat
been a material factor In the growth
and development of Brunswick. Judge
Symmes said that during the time
Col Goodyear was building hotels and
rounding banks his opponent was pass
ing bills to give the city of Bruins
wick the present city court; that he
passed this bill through the legisla
ture, without ever giving the people
OF Brunswick a chance to express an
opinion on it, and that it had cost
the people of Glyna county thou
sands and thousands of dollars. H9
pointed out that the fact that when
Capt. Symons passed the bill creating
the present city court that the old
ring was in power and that one of It's
advocates was its first Judge. Judge
Symmes said that in those day the
city court had no solicitor and that
there are many people In Brunswick
who regret that the same conditions
do not prevail to-day. He said that
there were no more factions In Bruins
wick and Glynn county and pointed 20
a dozen or more officials now holding
Office who did the same thing under
the old ring. Judge Symmes an
nounced that the man who intimated
that he was trying to place those
who were defeated by the Good Gov
arnment club back into official places
was a liar out OF the Whole cloth. He
challenged any man present to show
one act that Capt. Symons had ever
done tor Brunswick, and character
Ized him as the old fellow who recon-
mended his son as having the great
est desire and the least capability for
Office of any man In the world" he
said he expected to make many more
speeches In this campaign and If the
officers and politicians did not come
out to hear him he would speak at
the front gates. he touched up the
trolley 1iaso, and urged the people 70
get together.
Judge Symmes pointed out the fact
that Brunswick was to be a great sea
port, and he believed Col. Goodyear
was the man to place at the helm OF
rapidly growing city. He said some
OF the enterprises brought 70 Bruins
wick through the Offices OF Col Good
year, such as the old car line. the
hotel at st. Simon, the Brunswick
Company, ETC., had failed, but While
@nere Brunswick received the penetts
Sout of them and that people MADE
money rapidly. sur it was due 70 d
