oEoRGiA'S POLITICAL TRANsFoa
NATION.

NATION.
Since the passing Of the Central
OF Georgia Railway system mo the
hands of Mr.. Hartman. Democracy
seems to be at lew ebb in Georgia
Judging from the attitude OF the lead
ing Georgia newspapers.
Six of the congressman from the
so-called Empire State OF the South
voted to perpetuate. Cannon supre
macy in the national House OF Repres-
cntatives, and there was some talk OF
disciplinary measures being applied
20 the gentlemen when they come
up for reelection in 1910. Ru; most
of the leading daily newspapers down
there appear to be inclined to con-
done il not to commend the course
taken by the boilers. The Atlanta
Constitution says:
Whether wholly justified CT not In
its ultimate analysis. the sentiment
is growing that the action Of the
six Georgia congressman who declin-
ed to follow the leaders OF the Demo
cratic caucus in their method OF at.
tack upon Cannonism was not, after
al, such horrible breach as their
opponents have endeavorcd to make
it appear"
The Constitution further declares
that the Macon Telegraph. the Au-
gusta Chronicle and the Savannah
Morning News are all Of practically
the same opinion.
That either OF the newspapers men.
toned should take this view OF the
situation. however.is not particularly
surprising in view OF the fact that
all Of them are violent opponents OF

Not After Debate.

No effort so far as Mr.. Cannon IS
personally concerned, will be made to
secure for Virginia the joint debate
slated for the South between Mayor
Rose. OF Milwaukee. and R"v. lr.
Dickey. of Louisville, Ky.
One of these debates was held last
week at Milwaukee and excited wide
spread interest. Two other joint dis
cussions will be held between the
SAME men one of which is slated for
the South.
When asked is the Virginia Anti
Saloon I.eabue or he himself favored
or desired the holding OF the South
ern debate in Virginia, DR.. Cannon
made the following statement:
Il see no reason for the An',-Sa'
loon League Of Virginia to take any
special interest in the ROse-Dickey
debate. The AntiSaloon League
cause in Virginia is best promoted
by discussion ON the liquor problem
In the several counties where the
issue is raised. Personally, shall
