WILL LIQUOR QUESTION BE
GREAT ISSUE In CAMPAIGN?
Political DOpGStGFS Believe It
Will Be Of Importance

Atlanta, Seut. 2-The same shrewd
Atlanta politicians who believed a
week ago that the liquor question
would not become paramount issue
in. this gubernatorial campaign, now
declare that the complexion of the sit-
nation has changed entirely within
the last four days.
A week ago it was believed that the
real fight would be along the old line
ups, Former Governor Brown on one
side and a Hoke Smith man, not yet
chosen, opposing him.
1t is rumored within the last day
or two, however, that the liquor inter-
ests have decided to line up solidly
behind Judge Richard B. Russell, the
local option candidate, and make the
fight. The prohibitionists, it is said,
are rallying behind J. Pope Brown, and
and may make him their official candi-
date.
SO strongly are these rumors cur
rent that it is believed they will have
their effect on the talk-of candidacy
of Joseph M. Brown, and that Nj.
Brown may decide, after all, to re-
main out of the race. 1t is not denied
that if the liquor interests decided to
support Judge Russell actively, il
would take away very seriously from
Former Governor Browns strength.
Despite the expressed belief of poll
ticians to the contrary, the prohibi-
ton question is beginning to assume
huge proportions. What attitude Gov
ernor Brown would take on prohibi-
ton in the event he did come out is
the subject of speculation, though -,e
never came out fat-footed before he
received considerable support from the
liquor element.
It is probable that the gubernatorial
primary will take place about the mid
die of December, as Governor Smith Is
expected to resign within the next six
ty days, to take effect December 1st
1t is probable that the governor viii
give notice of his exact intentions al
least thirty days before he actually
quits the office.

STOPPING CORRUPTION IN ELECTION
OF SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES,

any particular candidates for the 7 90
islature" CT their State and. though
general contributions by seuatorjaI-ss
plrants are permitted to be made n
political committees, they must be
within the limitations and res+ric-
tons Of the Publicity act The mr.
chase of seats in the Senate by million
afre heads Of copper, lumber or other
syndicates would thus be- made very
much more difficult than it has been
IN the past, ii not absolutely impossi-
Bile. At any rate the provision is in
tended to cove, such practices as are
ascribed to Senator Stephenson. who
admitted contributing more than $780,,
600 to the primary campaigns of can
didates for the Legislature of Wiscon-
sin. Lorimer "jackpots" would come
under the general provisions against
bribery, and aid given to candidates
affiliated with Steel, Sugar and other
Trusts would be disclosed in the pub
lished statements.
Any candidate who makes promises
or pledges of any character must dis
close them in his statement-a require
ment which would hardly faze Repre-
sentative DaIzeIl or Senator Oliver.
The interests they represent would
need no pledges from them. This pro-
vision may be regarded as almost pure
buncombe. The prohibition of prom
ises Of office or position in return for
the support of candidate is more 70
the point, and could be evaded only
through perjury. The Publicity act
also makes State laws not directly in
conflict Herewith applicable to the
election of candidates of either house
of congress. The recent enactments
of New Jersey, for instance, are verv
stringent, and any violation thereof
works a forfeiture of the office cor
ruptly and unlawfully obtained. The
House or Senate being the sole judges,
respectively, of the election of their
members, would, probably, not be bou
members would, probably, not be
bound by this or similar penal provi-
sions in state laws. Nevertheless, these
state laws, as we'll as the publicity
act, would be rules of conduct for the
senate and house and in arrivinfwyp
senate and house in arriving at judg-
ments in proceedings to unseat delin-
quent members. All in all, the pub
licity act must be regarded as one Of
the most important election reform
measures ever adopted by congress.

FREE PELLAGRA CLINIC
WILL BE OF GREAT GOOD
Atlanta Associated Charlie S
Has Established One

Atlanta, September 2.-It begins to
appear that the establishment of free
clinic for pellagra by the Atlanta As
ISOLATED Charities is a step second IN
Importance in Georgia only to the
State Pasteur Institute itself.
The free clinical which advice and
treatment are furnished free to all
pellagra sufferers who haven't sufffc-
tent means to pay-was established
only three days ago, but already has
its hands full of work.
None of the hospitals and like in
situations in the south which have
charity wards will treat pellagra cas-
es at all, and up to this time suffer-
ers without financial means have been
in serious straits.
Physicians from all the southern
states and from many Georgia cities
have already written asking to be in
formed about the Atlanta clinic, and
it is believed others will rapidly be
established.
The seriousness of the pellagra sit
uation may be understood in the face
of the fact that 81 people have died
of pellagra in Atlanta since January
LIST, and that it is believed an equal
proportionate mortality exists through
out the south.

On account of not having been a
resident of Shreveport for more

a few facts connected with the
qualifications being passed upon by
the State Board of Education was
the cause Of it being deferred. Mr..
