them all down with the exception
of one or two small ones offered
by close personal friends, where
absolutely no political considera
ton was involved and which could
not, on account of such friendship,
have been rejected.
The result is that Mr.. Slaton is
under no sort of obligation to any
politician or clique of politicians;
his sole obligation is incurred IN
the appeal made to the individual
voter.
AS a member of the legislature
for more than sixteen years, Mr..
Slaton's views on all public ques-
tons which have come before the
state within that period have been
exploited in the press and are well
known to all readers of -newspa-

in doing so he will hold up his
own salary, that of every mem
Der of congress and every United
States Judge. Such action on
the presidents part would also
further delay the annual appro-
priation overdue since July 1.
The president is said to oppose
the abandonment of life tenure
for civil service employees and
also the abolition Of the COM
merce court.

ton of $34,0O0,0O0.

be refunded. These bonds must be
placed at the lowest possible IN
terest rate and to the best advant-
age of the state. In view of the
expiration of the lease in 1919, the
question Of that disposition of the
Western ard Atlantic railroad
must be dealt with.
These are some Of the big ques-
lions that will confront Georgla's
next governor, and in dealing with
them there is need not of a theorist
and a dreamer, but of broad
visioned and practical business
man, such man as Mr.. Slaton.
The leader-enterprise. [volume] (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1912-1915, 1912-08-13


ter a service OF sixteen years in
active politics in Georgia, John
M. Slaton thinks that his position
on all questions now before the
people of the state in the guber-
Material race is too we'll known
for him to take up the time of the
voters by reiterating them from
the stump.
That is the trend of a lengthy
statement given out at Slaton
headquarters today replying to
charges made by his opposition by
suggestion that he fears to meet
the issues and is content to conduct
a ''still hunt for votes.
In addition, Mr.. Slaton's manag-
ers take occasion to attack a sys-
tenn, which they say exists IN
Georgia, of candidates paying
political henchmen in each county
to conduct their fights. He de-
clares that by appealing to the in
dividual voter, he has avoided
paying this tribute and is thus able
to finance his own campaign,
leaving him free of pledges to any
political ring when he enters office,
should he be elected.
SYSTEM IS ATTACKED
His statement in part:
John nj. Slaton's campaign for
governor, IN which he has, largely,
gone direct to the individual voter,
ignoring the politicians as such,
and the vast horde of political
workers, has proven such a sur
prise, particularly to his political
opponents, that at loss fora plan
of attack, they have finally charg-
ed him with making ''still hunt.
Six or seven years ago there
began to be built up in Georgia a
vast horde of political workers in
the counties of the state, and mon
were even known to seek remune-
ration for their services in carry
ing militia districts. These Mr..
Slaton has ignored, preferring to
conduct his camgaign upon merit,
and he has carried it to the indi-
vidual upon that basis.
HIS opponents could not there
fore charge him with "ring" ALI
ance: they could not criticise hlm
for employing political workers in
the various counties, SO it had to
be the "still hunt"
1t is somewhat doubtful, how
ever, if the voters Of the state will
be able to discover anything slnis-
ter IN square and straightforward
appeal for their individual support;
and that is all Pr. Slaton has
made.
HES PAYING OWN EXPENSES.
Mr.. Slaton is paying the expen-
ses of his own campaign. Many
contributions have been rendered
him, but he has uniformly turned
