WILL BRYAN PROVE A PATRI9Tl

Will William Jennings Bryan pro-
patriot at the Baltimore convention.
rising above self, putting the inter
ests of the party and of the county
above individual ambition, or will he
permit the desire to try once more
for the presidency to govern him,
and imperil the party's opportunity
and risk the country having Roosevelt
re-established in the seat of power?
That is a question that is being
asked from one end of the country to
the other. 1t is recognized that
Bryan has a tremendous influence
and that in the convention he VIII
probably hold the balance of power.
His support of both Wilson and ClarE
has been regarded by many as SIMS
ter, as indicating an intention or
Willingness, on his part to play the
one against the other while, at the
same fife, looking for the opening to
throw himself into the breach and
carry off the nomination.
| The Baltimore Sun is anxious about
Bryan's conduct at the approaching
! convention, 1t recognizes his great
opportunity. 1t asks What will he
do with it," At is regards it, Bryan
will find in Baltimore the creates,
opportunity of his life-the opportun,
ity to re-establish himself in the at
Elections of his party as a whole, as
we'll as to set that party on the road
, to victory.
The Sun says in this connection:
Mr.. BRYAN is a good man and in
some respects great man. but he is
human like the rest of us, and in the
past he has sometimes allowed the
aelf-Will and the autocratic disposi-
ton, which is inherent in strong men.
ITO carry him to lengths which have
impaired his influence in the party
nd weakened him before the public
If he will keep these traits under
control and bring to Baltimore with
him the simple and single-minded
purpose to serve only his party and
his country without regard to past
alliances or past antagonisms, be viii
5erome tire hero Of the occasion and
viii be hailed as the man who made
certain the triumph of Democratic
principles and the reforms in govern
ment which those principles repre-
sent. From a persona non grata to
many he would become the idol OF
the whole party, a leader beloved, not
dictator feared and disliked byI
many Democrats who have never done
aim full Justice"

AMERICUS FORGING TO THE
FRONT.

A new railroad headed this way, 70
which Americas will make liberal
stock subscriptions, and which will
cren up a fine new territory for
trade, augurs well for the expansion
Of the business and importance OF
Americas in the near future.
Americas has suffered in the past
from its holdings in great railroad
But that railroad, after all, mace
Americus what it is to-day. The new
abroad project does not call for the
heavy financial sacrifice that the Old
Sam did. 1t is not as ambitious a
project and the burden OF the con
struction is divided. as it should b.
among the communities that will b.
mutually benefited
The determination with which Am
CIRCUS is taking hold of this and Other
projects demonstrates that a new
spirit has come over the town-ol
rather that the new spirit that be
came so manifest four or five years
ago is taking new root establishing
itself more firmly, and preparing fo'
{. greater sweep of its power as de-
veloping agency.
Given a new railroad as a feeder
given more homes for the people who
are endeavoring to locate here, give,
more farmers in the country rounl
about, given the expansion of genera
business that must ensue, what is
there to check a wholesome, health
ful, highly satisfactory growth t,
Americas in population and wealth il
the next few years?
Americas is not seeking a boom. l
does not aspire to have one. But /
does want a steady growth along SAT
lines, a growth that will stick anC
rest on solid foundations That i
what it is steadily working for, am
that is what seems in prospect.
Americas is a fine town to stay il
and grow up with Little difference
G the past are passing away and tn.
spirit of unity that accomplishes b.:
things is taking possession of tn
people as whole There is accord
ingly every reason to face the futur

ton. who mas the support Of Gov.
Brown and of all the leaders, practi-
cally, of that faction.
SO far as the Hoke Smith faction
is concerned, the cold deal that was
given Tom Hudson is sufficient to
suppress any desire than any man OF
integrity and standing might have o
lead its foTlorn cause. A leader who
induces a man, directly or through
his lieutenants, TO enter a race, and
then, to protect himself, stands from
under and throws that candidate
down, is not apt to enthuse any one
else into taking the vacant place
! 1t was raw deal that Senator
Smith and his chief satellites gave
Commissioner Hudson. The public at
large realizes that fact Other men
in Georgia public life have been biv-
en- somewhat similar treatment in
the past three or four years, but none
in quite such a contemplate manner
as the former Commissioner of Agri-
culture.
1t may all be considered good pol
itics just now. But, as the old saying
goes, There's a time coming" Sen
ator Smith and some of his lieuten-
ants are laying up big pile OF
scores against themselves that must
be settled at some future time.
President Slaton is assured the ell
ection. All over the state there were
j hundreds, thousands one might say
of staunch friends of Mr.. Hudson
who, now they are relieved of the
I necessity of supporting him, Will
cheerfully turn to Mr. Slaton. Chat
! ham county, for instance, was strong
| ly in the Hudson column. It cal
now be put down for Mr. Staten
Many Other counties have also bee,
transferred to the Slaton column b.
the political events of the past Wees
The chief objection to Mr.. Slaton is
! not personal. 1t arises from the boost
that his election gives to the further
dominance of Tom Watson in Geor-
gia state politics. Personally Mr.
Slaton is clean, an agreeable, higl
toned gentleman, one we'll versed il
state affairs, fully competent to give
an excellent administration. His Ions
Legislative experience will be of de
cided value to him and the saatc
when he occupies the gubernatoria
chair. While we naturally regret tina
Mr. Hudson is not to be the next gov
eInCr of Georgia it is a satisfaction t;
know that man as able as Mr. Sla
ton is to be the next Chief Executive
That his administration will be sucI
as to entitle him to the customar,
second term, without the wrangle of
fight such as has been seen for tn,
past few years, is clearly within tn,
range of political probabilities.

USING MONEY IN THE GUBERNA.
T0RIAL RACE.

Much attention has been drawn tC
the necessity of candidates expending
large sums of money in a gubernatof
ial race in Georgia by Mr.. Hudson :
candid Acknowledgement that h.
was unable personally to finance sucq
a race on his own part and that the
politicians who had agreed to assist
him tire whom down at the cricica
moment
The Savannah Morning News de-
livers lecture with this as tn etheme
So does the Jacksonville Times-Un-
ion. So do other papers. They are
rot condemning Mr. Hudson, MOI
Criticising him for his frank ayoWal
| of this one of the reasons why h.
withdrew from the field. What they
ale criticising and condemning is the
necessity a candidate is under d
making heavy outlay in order to con-
duct a successful fight.
Mr.. Hudson is not the first candi-
date in Georgia who has been III
gainst this proposition. The Hok
Smith campaigns were generally I'M
derstood to have cost a tremendous
amount of money. No one knows
what was expended in the Brown cam
paign. When Little joe became a
candidate last time it was printed in
the newspapers of the state that he
made it a condition that the carried
ever debts of the previous campaign,
aggregating quite large sum, should
be paid. Mr. Brown is not wealthy
man ard his friends undoubtedly
helped him to meet the financial ne
cessities Of his races
1t has come to the point where y
requires large outlay to make the
race for governor Expensive head
quarters must be maintained, a liter
airy bureau must be supported. news
papers no longer insert stuff gratis.
but require checks with the plate mat
ter or the copy, travelling expenses eat
up money and friendly orators can
cot be expected to foot their own
bills. When the late owner of ths
savannah Morning News, one of the
ablest business men in the state, raG
or governor he found it necessary
just as did his competitors, to meet
heavy bills They all do It is SIM
by part of the system that has grown
m in recent years. 1t does not re-
feet on the candidates. 1t does nov
mean that they have sold themselves
70 any one. The men who help to fir
ance these races are friends, eager
for the victory of their friends. That
these friends should have influence
with the subsequent administration is
not to its discredit. Men in Office
have recognized their friends ever
since office holding became a profess
sion And they are apt to keep on
7cing So if they are level headed and
have a proper sense of personal graf

Of course it would be very delight
