TWO EMPHASIZES
House Committee on Naval Ali : fairs Rejects Presidents
 Plan for Four.
LIlLEY WITH DEMOCRATS
Supports Rooseyelt's Recommendation for the Larger Program
 of Building.

Washington, Feb. 10.-By a vote to- day, of thirteen to five, one member being absent and not voting, the House committee on naval affairs rejected the presidents urgent recommendation that Congress at this session authorize building four battleships, at a total cost of s2S,0OO,O00. but by unanimous vote the committee voted that there be in the navy appropriations bill an au- thorization for the construction of two battleships, to cost $9,5OO,OO0 each and that they be of the Delaware type.
 These representatives voted in ac- cordance with the presidents recom- mendations: Lilley, of Connecticut, (Rep); Thomas, of Ohio, (Rep); Mey- CT, of Louisiana, (Dem); Talbot. of Maryland, (Dem) and Hobson, of AL abama, Den.)
 Representative Hobson announced after the committee meeting that he intended to make a minority report recommending authorization for four battleships But the authorization merely, is not enough" he said "lt should include an actual appropriation so that the work of construction would begin without a moments unnecessary delay Even so, it would be three years before these vessels could be made ready to go into commission; and this country has no time to lose
 The preference of the committee was for four battleships, but the vot- ing attitude of the majority was eX- pressed by Chairman Foss when he said: Experience has shown that it is more profitable in the end to rec ommend in the beginning what you know the house will stand for. A recommendation for four battleships could not be put through at this ses- sion
 The naval appropriation bill, as amended and agreed upon by com mittee carries a total appropriation of S101, 900, 900 for the navy establish- ment for the next fiscal year, about SPA, 4,Cc0, 900 less than was asked for in the department estimates.
 Under the head of now authoriza- tions for the fulfillment of which Con gress is bound to appropriate money at the next session, If the bill as recom- mended passes the House and Senate, the committee included two battleships, to cost s1a.00o0OO; ten destroyers s. 5000oo; eight submarine torpedo boats. s3,040,0o0: total s4o540O GOO. or $Ss, 730, 900 less than the total for new authoriza- tions asked for by the navy depart n1ent
 The new authorization estimates re- jected by the committee comprised the following: Two hatteships, $19000, GOO, four scout cruisers, s1o0oo,0o0. one ann muniton ship sl,75o,ooo; one repair 7 ship s2,o0o,000; two mine laying ships (cruisers to be converted) s5oO00e.
 The committee, however, raised from four to eight the number of submarine torpedo boats asked for; held over for further consideration and incorporate ion in a special bill the matter of provid ing fleet collers, appropriated s40o. .00o for the purchase, within the discretion

Dear Sir: Todd & Downing, con-
tractors and builders, Morgan City,
La. have painted DeVoe for 3 or 4
wears. They say it takes less gallons
DeVoe than of any other paint they
have used. That means that JoD
noe+S lose with DeVoe; not only for
paint-for labor as well.
They paint nothing else; DeVoe
exclusively.
They have said nothing about the
comparative wear of DeVoe and 9TH
ers: oversight, may be; perhaps too
soon for that. But DeVoe is the
strongest paint; that's why less gal
Ions: best wear, same reason. Least
cost and longest time between JOBS.

joseph M. Browns Formal
Announcement for Governor

To the People of Georgia: AL
though | have unexpectedly received
great number of letters, petitions
and spoken requests, representing
thousands of people, a large majority
of whom are farmers, laboring men,
manufacturers and business men, to
allow the use of my name as candi-
date for governor of Georgia, subject
to the primary of June 4, as COM
pliance involves possibly change in
the practices and plans of lifetime
/ have refrained from announcing a
decision, hoping that some other can
didate would come to the front. But
as the hope has not been realized /
have been forced to the conclusion
that it is my duty to obey the call
which my fellow-citizens have made.
In determining the question of
the advisability of making the race
carefully considered the claim of
certain adherents of the present adj
ministration that the fixed policy of
the state is to give the incumbent of
the governors office a second term
as matter of course since the adop-
ton of the constitution of 1871.
That instrument limits the term to
two years, and precedent cannot
amend it so as to stretch term into
four years. And if it could the best
interests of the people demand its
revocation where the administration
involved, either through design or
lack of knowledge, has wrought dis
aster to the prosperity of the people.
Government should not only be of
the people, but for the people
As to Second Term Precedent.
Furthermore, in his published
statement that he would not enter
the race for United States senator
| the present governor did not base his
declination on the ground that he
was under an obligation of honor TO
serve the second term. That decllna-
ton was upon entirely other reasons.
Hence, if he be free to ignore it how
can it be binding on the democratic
| party as to him? If he has the OPP
ton to accept it or not the party has
the option to tender it or not.
But in his speech at Decatur on
March he enumerated among the
official plans he has for the future
J the enactment of the so-called port
rates. These rates, if made effect
/ i've, mean the ruin of the industries
of Georgia, and as corOllary, the
| destruction of the nearby markets
J for farmers of our own state. 1t is
therefore imperative to Georgia that
this plan should be made Impossible
of fulfillment since the mere threat
of it and kindred declarations nave
wrought serious diss ster to our peo-
pie.
Mr.. Browns Platform.
If elected 1 shall give the people
an administration characterized by
the strictest economy, and shall FAVOR
the following measures:
1. A return to the payment IN
one sum of confederate pensions,
such as prevailed before the advent
! of the present state administration
2. The reduction of taxation as
quickly and to as great an extent as
can be made practicable.
3. The regulation of the ran
roads. This should be done with
irmness. but with judgment, holding
equally in mind the rights of the pup
lie who travel and ship, of the STOCK
holders who own the properties and

of the lives and fair wages of the en-
ployes.
4. The proper support of all
public institutions.
5. AS liberal appropriations for
the common schools as the public fl
nances will allow.
The Railroad Commission.
6. Changes in the railroad COM
mission law, viz: First, the repeal
of those parts which give the com
mission jurisdiction over over such
local institutions as telephones, gas
and electric lighting pants, cotton
congresses and street railways. Sec
ondly, to insert the requirement that
one of the commissioners shall be a
rate expert, and to repeal that section
providing for a rate expert not a
commissioner, thus saving $4,000 per
annum in that office. Thirdly, to
compel railroads to properly light
and heat passenger stations, and to
require equitable demurrage rules.
7. The establishment of de-
partment of labor
AS to Prohibition.
8. The strict enforcement of the
present prohibition law. If the peo-
ple in the coming election choose
members of the general assembly
who. in accordance with the will OF
their constituents, make any changes
in the present law | will sign the bill
thus ordered by the people.
9. The enactment of a law
against lobbying, so as to preserve
the purity of our legislative system
the same as the purity of our jury
system.
10. The encouragement by a
proper administration Of the laws. OF
the agricultural, mercantile and man
ufacturing industries OF the state
The assurance, not only to citizens
of this state, but to citizens OF othel
states. that all capital invested in le-
climate enterprises in Georgia shall
have the equal protection of the laws
and the equal friendly consideration
of those who administer the laws OF
Georgia.

make no promise that l indi
vidually or in my official capacity
will accomplish any of the results
above indicated, for, while one man
if he be governor, may cripple anc
possibly wreck the prosperity OF the
state it requires the cooperation o.
the people and the executive to re
store confidence and upbuild ina
which has been Frustrated. Hence
I should ask your earnest co-opera
ton. l confess that | have none o
the arts of the politician and no grea
newspaper to urge my candidacy, pu
I have faith in the people.
In conclusion let us unite to prove

victims of an unnecessary panic. lie
