The Men and the Issue.

for representative Of Ben Hill county in the state
legislature. 20 so ~n-
When the campaign opened there were two
issues but one Of these has been entirely with
drawn thru Dr. Dorminy, the present representa-
tive by his statement that he will not leave his
work unfinished but will see to it that the matter
of the City Court and Charter be attended to dur
ing the remainder of his term of Office which does
not expire until January 1909.
This leaves but other issue-namely
whiskey. There has been great stress laid on by
the Anti Dickson crowd that whiskey is not an
issue and they have tried to ignore it as such.
And Knapp has openly declared in favor of
prohibition (ether in this campaign or in previous
ones in which he has been candidate) nor has he
e. declared himself in favor of making the present
law Stronger but has adroitly evaded the issue by
gs declaring that there is such issue whisk
go ey" in Georgia politics.
! to1 On the other hand Mr. Dickson in his plat
form declared himself in favor of prohibition and
has all thru his campaign affirmed that he would
rbexs his influence at Atlanta to strengthen the law

Charter issue out of the situation Mr.. Knapp's
