ATLANTA, Oct. -4.-Governor-
Elect Joseph NJ. Brown this afternoon
issued the following address:
ITO the People of Georgia: 1t is my
pleasure, as it is my duty, to express
my profound thanks for the exalted
honor which you, by your suffrages,
conferred upon me, the democratic
nominee for governor, October Z.
This honor is established as being
well nigh supreme, when it is borne
il mind that democrats, populists and
republicans joined in the vote which
spoke the mandate of our state. Hence,
to the citizens CT all parties who vo-
ted for me in the white primary; to
those who supported my distinguished
opponent in that primary, and who,
later, obeyed the dictates of honor
with the behest of the primary, and
to all other voters who cast their mi
tial ballots for me in the election, |
will say that in the administration of
the high office to which you have cali
ed ME, | shall know no faction, no
party. And | will add that | shall not
look with favor, nor with prejudice,
upon any class. Equal rights to all.
special privileges to none. special bur
dens upon, none shall be my guiding
| motto.
Recognizing that the will of the
people, as embodied in the statute
| law, is our rule of action, | shall en-
force that will by the orderly meth
DDS it prescribes. Recognizing that
reason Yields together while denun-
citation drives asunder, | shall pur-
| sue that course which my Judgment
| teaches me tends to securing a uni
| ted citizenry. And let me urge you,
| my fellow citizens, to join me in the
resolution to put behind us the as
| perities of the past. to remember that
we are ,Georgians and that in Georgia s
veal is our common interest, our COM
mon Joy.
| The necessity for this course is
| manifest when we hold in mind how
| great number CT our fellow citizens
are out of employment. hence unable
! to secure for their families the plain
est things needed for sustenance and
comfort | admit that the greatest
| burden upon my heart is the yearning
desire to see these worthy one, allied
to us by blood and affection, again
| receiving good wages. This money in
| enabling them to provide all the nee
essaries and reasonable portion Of
the pleasures for their loved ones,
would ultimately reach the grocers,
the clotherS the market gardeners.
the farmers. etc, and thus better the
| condition OF all classes in cur state.
OF course, no one man can effect this
end; but by concord and cooperation
in the lines of justice and moderation
we can assure capital and improve
| the status.
Let US then, repeat, put behind
us the asperities Of the past cam
paign, let US remember that Georgia s
welfare Is more to us than Is the
qualification of factional grudges or
personal ambitions: that magnanimity
Is the noblest Of virtues as revenge
is one of the basest of vices; that
as a house divided against itself shall
fall so a state divided into two hos
tile camps win fail to attain the socia
and economic strength upon which
enduring prosperity must be based
In conclusion allow me to repeal
the following declaration found in my
letter to the people, published April
10;
between the date of my choice il
the primary and the date of my In.
auSuration 1t will be my endeavor t.
visit as many counties as possible ii
| every quarter of cur state. for the
purpose OF comforting with all classes
II our fellow citizens as to the bes
methods to be adopted for the rehabil.
itation of our industries, the strength
ening Of our farming interests saEC
all others in which our home people
our own blood and bone-mav again
become partners in prosperity Of "
In accordance with this promise
| expect. within the next eight month.
to visit as many as | can of our PEG
