The manager of one Of Rome's locker

color Of authority as the state tax on

legislation with respect to state cleo
tons
The travelling men Of Georgia esti-
mate that heavy percentage Of their
vote necessarily is omitted from every
ballot box opened in Georgia, because
OF the fact that it Is impossible for them
to 60 TO their homes to vote without
great expense and loss Of time, not to
mention Inconvenience.
The travelling men feel that both
common sense and fairness should in
cline the legislature to furnish them a
legal method Of registering their votes.
They think they should be permitted
to deposit their ballots wherever they
may be.
No men, as a class, are more deeply
interested in politics than the travelling
men, and they are unusually well in
formed. Their opportunities for hear
ing all sides OF public questions dis
cussed, in widely separated localities,
enables them to put two and two to-
gether with accuracy and dispatch.
Moreover they are directly affected by
much legislation enacted, and their de-
sire TO participate in elections is, there
fore, particularly keen.
There Is plan being worked out now
among the travelling men of Georgia,
looking to the passing by the next leg
islature of law enabling them to vote
in all state elections, no matter where
they may be at the moment.
