Yesterday several more candidates were entered in The Republicans subscription contest. Inquiries are commencing to come in asking for further information regarding the work and the prizes to be earned. It is gratifying to note the great in terest exhibited in this years contest by the former contestants. Harry Kerr was in The Republican office yesterday to express his regrets that he could not again enter, because he now holds a regular position in the National Bank of Arizona that keeps him very busy. Said Harry: My. but I wish I could enter again. I liked the work fine, and there is no doubt but that the friends I made and the experience I gained, got this position that l now have for me-" Harry Kerr will make good any where and his present position in the bank shows that the faith of his many friends during the former contest was well merited.

"A GOOD MAN.
'ETo the voters of Screven county we have
recommendation to make. This paper is
mighty slow to make political appeals for a
candidate, but there is one man running for
office who is so fully qualified and ably fitted
for the duties which would devolve upon him,
if elected, we feel it duty to speak out
'tJesse Mercer, of Fitzgerald, is the man.
He is in the race for the office of prison COM
missioner, the place now held by Tom Eason,
who is not candidate to succeed himself.
''Mr Mercer is editor of the Fitzgerald
Enterprise, one of the oldest and best tri
weekly papers in Georgia. He stands for all
that is good; he loathes that which is harmful
and bad. He has heart as true as steel and
his devotion to a cause he believes is right,
is the admiration of his friends. He is as
courageous as lion, but with his bravery he
is as gentle as a little child. He has had
much to do with law making and execution
of the law. He is peculiarly fitted for the office.
1t is question of men. No state politics or
old animosities should enter into the race. The
best man should win and he is Jesse Mercer.
Vote for him and make no NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

the First National Bank will give
preference to people who have bank
accounts with them and this is for
two reasons: When a person owns
a bank account it is a recommends
ton for him, and the banker has
an opportunity to know that the
loan will be safe. If a man has
become of age, or a little older, and
has no bank account these days, it

Really funny things are sometimes written
without the authors intending to be humorous
An instance comes to US thru the cambridge PoSt
that recently stated, editorially "that Hoke smith
was dead cock in the political pitt. The editor
ia in question is comcal because of the effort the
writer of it makes in attempting to be serious. IL
says that Smith is to blame for the vast army OF
men unemployed etc. OF course every one knows
that it was Governor Smith who created the panic
that started in New York and spread thruout the
whole country. That it was his mighty power
and great control of Wall street that tied up the
nations capital and, to further his own political
policies, threw the country into unrest. OF course
he is keeping the working man from employment
in Nebraska Oklahoma, Connecticut and Georgia
1t was his politics that shut down factories In
Georgia and South Carolina last October before
they went into effect 1t is his policies that has
kept Sea Island cotton prices down and stopped
buildings from being erected or finished all over
the land thereby stagnating the lumber market (In
the mind of man who has more malice than

SAYS WEsToATE SHOULD /
YIELD TO CHAMBER COMMERCE

LOS ANGELES, June 12.-[Editor
Herald: In looking through the paper
this morning ! noticed an advertise
ment which, in brief. announces that
a booklet is about to be issued by
Westgate's Brain Bureau describing
actual conditions sas they effect the
wage Garner. 1t is barely possible that
such book will do some good, but 1t
is probable that 1t will do considerable
harm.
I realize that wages are low in Los
Angeles, but will it do any good to
publish this fact to the world? Would
it not be better for the chamber of
commerce to issue such information
than for an individual to take upon
himself the responsibility of such
work?
OF course 1t Is to be expected that
easterners. and even residents of Los
Angeles to certain extent, will pur-
chase and applaud the man who is
brave enough to describe without fear
or favor the existing conditions, and
the only danger lies in the fact, as
stated above, that the booklet is to be
issued by an individual at fixed price
and not published gratis by those who
are supposed to look after the city's
welfare.
Knowing that The Herald stands for
fair play and is not afraid to cham
pion the cause of the city and it's peo-
pie, ] would suggest that this matter
be given whatever consideration 1t de-
serves. r. M. WOODSON.

THE DIVES CONVENTION

TN ONE RESPECT the Republican
national convention will be the
most remarkable gathering ever
held in the United States. It will rep
resent more MONEY than has at any
time in the worlds history ever been
assembled under one roof. New York
state alone will send twenty-three mil
lionaire and Millionaire delegates. More
money will be represented in the New
York delegation than existed in the
British islands and United States COM
bined at the time the colonies declared
their independence, and announced to
the world they intended to provide a
system of government which would as
sure to every citizen life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness. and would
bring about the greatest good for the
greatest number. While the increase
of wealth in the United States is not
| only gratifying, but well worth brag-
ging about, the fact that interests con-
| trolling the wealth of the United States,
rather than people who live in the Unit
ed States, are to be represented at the
! republican convention is not gratifying
and should not be Dragged about 1t is
especially shameful that the Republic
cans should be Boosting of the immense
riches of the delegates to the convention
so soon after the country has been dis
turbed by a financial panic which
caused want woe and suffering among
thousands of Americans who are at
least as good as the citizens who will
travel to the Republican convention in
private cars. The Republican party
has robbed of education-one of the
rights of all American freemen-two
million children, who have been taken
away from school and placed in
mills. mines and factories at pauper
wages in order that "twentythree bill
lionaires and millionaires" may be en-
rolled in the New York delegation. 1t
will not be many years before everyone
in the United States will appreciate the
force of the assertion that vote for
the Republican party in 1908 is a vote
for Socialism.
