As to State Senator.

The Fifteenth Senatorial District is COM
posed of five counties, Dodge, Montgomery, Tel
fair, Irwin and Ben HILL 1t is large district and
a long way between senatorial representation from
any one of the counties
1t is possible, even probable that the legis-
lature will re district the state next year.
We believe Ben Hill, new county,
needs and really deserves the Senator the first
term on two grounds, first that new county needs
a representative mere than old ones, there is
considerable legislation necessary in the orga
cation and starting off of the new county, and the
other technical fact that the county, which has
been longest without representation is entitled to
the senator. We would like to have the matter set,
tied at an early date, and the democratic commit
tees of the several counties should get together and
settle the matter. We hope that the papers in
the other counties in the district will take it up
and keep it alive until we arrive at some definite
and reasonable conclusion.

The downfall of Foraker is one of the bene-
fetal results growing out of an acrimonious cam
paign. The fellow had been irritating influence
disturbing clement in the politics of the country
all too long. Everybody knew that he was mean,
but few suspected that he was corrupt until W. FL.
Hearst, last week. read his political death warrant
One paragraph in his letter discloses his whole
character:
stCan it be possible that the president wants
to defeat Judge Taftq That cannot be, and
vet he could hardly do any other one thing
better calculated to lose him votes, for no self
respecting negro read what Judge Taft says in
this letter and adding it to ali that has gone
before can vote for him without feeling that
he is making greater sacrifice than most
men, white or black, are willing to make.
Foraker assumes that there are great num-
Der of 'self respecting negroes, and that no well
regulated Republican politician can get along with
out them.
Editor Shipp, of the Cordele Rambler, makes
the following plea for united Cordele on the i'm.
portant question of newspaper:
eff our people-especially the business men
will unite on one paper, Cordele is able 20
support one paper that would be a credit to
the town. If the business men object to the
management of the Rambler, rather than be in
the way of united effort, we would dispose of
our interests and allow the management to pass
into other hands, The business men of Cor
dele are together in most things If they will
make move in the direction indicated, they
could give Cordele good paper, which would
be greater advertisement than large manu-
featuring plant
tsIf Cordele had only one paper it could
carry the press service and own linotype.
1t is a hard matter to get out newsy daily
carrying the press service without linotype
and Cordele is now sufficiently large for this
service if our people will unite and give all of
the business to one paper.O
Shipp is exactly right. Cordele has too many
newspapers, as many other georgia towns. Every
betty political faction hatch out little paper.
The faction breaks up in the next campaign and
fhe paper is left to starve.
