JUDGE HART SAYS
GAMBLER GAN SERVE
At ORNEY GENERAL, IN OPIN-
ION AS LAWYER, SAYS THAT
NEW RAILROAD COMMISSION
Err is ELIGIBLE.

In an opinion delivered as merely that
OF a lawyer" State Attorney General John
c. Hart says that Railroad Commissioner
9. Murphey Gambler is eligible to serve
as the successor OF Fuller Z. Galloway on
the state railroad board, and incidentally
denies the contention made by Attorney
Walter r. Brown that Mr.. Gambler is dis
qualified by having been elected as a
member of the state legislature from De-
Kalb county.
Attorney Brown, in a statement. quoted
certain provisions of the state constitu-
ton, which he says would prevent Mr..
Gamblers serving. Judge Hart says that
Mr.. Gambler does not come within the
inhibition Of these provisions, but is free
to serve.
Judge Harris decision follows:
II Of course express no official opinion
relative to the matter. and could not
unless referred to me by the governor. /
speak. therefore, merely as a lawyer.
II very carefully read Mr.. Browns card
in the morning paper and noted that he
suggests that Mr.. Gambler is disqualified
under the constitution. In support Of his
view he quotes paragraph l, section 4. arti-
Gle OF the constitution, which reads as
follows:
The members OF the general assembly
shall be elected for two years and shall
serve Until Inelr SUCCESSORS are oiectcu.
And also the last OF paragraph z, section
4, article 3, to-wit: Nor shall q senator
or representative after his qualification
as such be elected by the general assem-
bly,, or appointed by the governor either
with or without the advice and consent Of
the senate TO any office or appointment
having any emolumsnt annexed thereto
during the time for which he shall have
been elected
''Mr. Gambler was elected to succeed
himself in DeKalb county at the general
election in October last year. Under the
provision OF the constitution first quoted
IL will be noted that he ceased to be a
resentative-elect from DeKalb county he
his first election in October, 1908.
II will also be observed while the rep
resentaetive-elect from DeKalb county he
has not yet qualified as a member and
could not until the assembling Of the new
legislature
He could not therefore fall within the
constitutional provision first quoted be-
cause his term OF office under his first
election ended In October and he is not
within the inhibition Of the second pro-
vision of the constitution quoted for the
reason he has not yet qualified as
member OF the general assembly

which, while declining the dinner, corrects
the report of his contemplated retire

liticai history OF the near future. Inc
letters is as follows;
IF I believed the Democratic party an
opportunist party, creature or fads and
fancies organized for ONCE getting and
ONCE holding, would not concern myself
about it's future. That II has some times
gone astray does not impeach its original
character or it's ultimate destination II
was never more essential to the well
being OF the nation and the people than
It is at the present moment.
THE Republican party is the offspring
Of special privilege. 1t has become the
custodian OF organized and licensed graft.
II has multiplied the nations living ex-
penses two-fold in ten years.
"Of the personal integrity, the admira-
BILE equipment and the good intentions Of
the newly inaugurated president, enter
tain not the smallest question; but he is
a Republican, a Republican bred in the
bone and dyed in the wool, and he must
stand or fall with his party.

enormously TO win. Taft will VIGOROUSLY
lose: that is, he will reap the fruits OF
battle that were better never gained

sturdy merit paying the debts OF brilliant
but wastefuI exploitation. Upon this line
of thought I propose to fight our coming
battle-but, in the columns Of my paper
The days OF individual activity outside

my constant and affectionate friendship
