THE SUPPORT OF

Mr.. HutChinS Gives Out An
Interview

Atlanta, Ga, March 16.-Mr. G. R.
Hutchins, one of the most staunch
supporters in Georgia of Congressman
Oscar w. Underwood for president,
gave out the following interview here
today:
ITO nominate Underwood for the
presidency means that we ratify the
course of the party in congress during
the present session, instead of repu-
dating it. Can Georgians afford to
vote on the first day of May against
Underwood and by doing so say that
they repudiate our party leader and
that they desire to transfer the lead
ership from the hands of Mr.. Under
wood and out of the state of Alabama
into the hands of Gov Wilson and the
state of New Jersey
Just as Roosevelt and his radical
following are sowing the seed of dis
lntegration in republican ranks, SO is
Gov. Wilson and his following. with
the aid of ill-advised and extreme
measures, proposed by him. scatter
Ing seed of the same sort, which, if
persisted in, will have the same ten
dency in its effect on the democratic
party. / do not believe that Georgia
democrats on the first day of May will
permit themselves to be led INTO this
pitfall. Gov Wilson and his follow
ing are side-tracking the tariff ques-
tion fir minor measures, purely ex-
perimentai. They seek to build a
house out of tooth-picks and | do NOT
believe that the structure will stand
the lightest gale, If it were permitted
to be built Let us think about these
matters and stick to the substantial
propositions, the strength of which,
If properly determined, will result in
benefi ito the masses of the people,
who have so long borne the burdens
of unpust taxation. Let us carry I'm
derwood to victory in Georgia on the
first of May and in Baltimore hold up
his hands, and this fall, at the ma
tional election. elect him president
and take him from the American peo-

ARE
BREEDING SEED
Of BEST KINDS
TO RESIST The COTTONPESTS
State ERtOmOIOgist WOrsham
Has Visited Farmers

Atlanta, Ga, March 16.-State En-
tomologist E. L. Worsham has just re-
turned from an extended trip through
out Southwest Georgia, where he has
been in close touch with the cotton
FEEDERS clubs in that section. These
clpLs are organized along the border
counties of Alabama for the purpose
of breeding cotton seed which are re-
sistent to the black root disease and
which mature sufficiently early .
fruit ahead of the dread boil weevil,
which is expected to make it's appear
ance in these counties at an early
date.
DR.. Worsham states that the mem
bers of these clubs are enthusiastic in
developing these varieties of cotton
seed for they realize that only in this
way can they combat the boil weevil.
Planters throughout the state and
South are thoroughly aroused on the
subject of improving varieties of cot
ton seed planted for the wonderful
development Of the cotton seed oil in
dustry has convinced them that there
is more money in high grade of cot
ton seed when sold to the oil mills
and in turn transformed into its by
products than any other product of
the cotton crop. The oil mills are
quick to appreciate the higher grade
of cotton seed and the results OBJ
tanned thereforom justify the planters
in using every endeavor to grow the
highest grade cotton seed.
The long continued rain has put the
farmers afr behind in the preparation
OF their ground for Wanting their
crops and they will use every precau-
ton to plant only the best cotton
seed available in order to secure the
best results in the fall.

SLATON HAS ENTERED THE
RACE FOR GOvERNORSHIP
ISSUES FORMAL Announcement to the People of GEORGIA
VIII Probably Not Open Formal Campaign Headquarters
until About May Ito Make Active Race

Atlanta, Ga, March 16,-Answering
inquiries from all over the state. John
NJ Slaton today gave out a positive
statement to the effect that he will ba
IN this years race for governor. He
indicates that he had hoped to assist
postponing the gubernatorial cam
paign until after the presidential pri-
mary and intimates that he will NOT
begin an active canvass of the state
until after May /.
Beyond brief declaration of his
candidacy, Mr.. Slaton makes little dis
cussion of the coming campaign or his
candidacy. His card is as follows:
Mr.. SlatOn's Announcement.
To The People of Georgia: The
widely published report that | will
be a candidate for governor subject
TO the August primary has brought to
me letters from all parts of the state
asking for definite declaration of nv
intention, 1t was not my desire to
make any formal announcement until
after the presidential primary, being
impressed, as | am, with the idea
that the people preferred, to consider
one campaign at time.
So general, however, has become the
demand for a statement that | believe
1t is proper for me to say now l will
be candidate, and at the appropriate
time shall enter upon vigorous pre-
sentation of my views on the issues
which may be involved in the race.
My record as a member of the gen
eral assembly, as presiding officer OF
each house for two terms and as act
ing governor for a brief period, is an
open book. If elected, will continue
to do all in my power to serve the
best interests of the state.
AS governor it will be my special
endeavor to give the state an econom-
ical and business-like administration
of its affairs; to see, particularly, that
the agricultural and educational in.
terests receive that liberal support
necessary to general progress; that
every dollar expended on each de-
partment of government shall yield
to the people a dollars worth of eff
cient service, and that not one penny
of the public revenues is used to pro-
mote private or political interests.
| shall seek the nomination on the
t1me-honored principle OF the county
unit system of selection, for | believe
that this fundamental guarantee, in
tended for the equal protection of
the rights of every community in
the state and written into the consti-
tuition by our forefathers, should be
inyiolably preserved in the spirit as
well as in the letter.
Later on, l will prepare a state.
ment dealing with all questions of
public interest Meanwhile, | de-
clare my candidacy for the office of
governor for the term beginning in
June, 1913. promising, if elected, to
devote my best efforts and concentrate
my undivided energies to the end
that the state may be faithfully serv.
