Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-10-08
The court Of appeals has a Fite
on its hands, at last, as 467, $40 peo-
pie already have remarked

One of the things moving former
Representative Seaborn Wright, prohi-
bition leader in Georgia, to proceed Wig
orously against the locker clubs of
Rome is said to have been the outside
criticism to which he, as a lecturer
and champion of prohibition, was sub
jected because of the presence of locker
clubs in his home town
Constantly, so the story goes Mr..
Wright was twitted here and there, in
pleading for prohibition, and declaring
that prohibition laws could be enforced.
with the assertion that locker clubs
flOurished in his own home town-and
if he couldn't suppress them there. why
should he expect people to suppress
them elsewhere
OF course, the Floyd county states
man is opposed to locker clubs, in any
shape or form, and more than once has
deplOred the fact that the state licenses
them, but he has not heretofore SEEM
ingly inclined to make eternal warfare
against them, in certain circumstances
particularly where he could be shown
that they were making real effort to
keep within the law.
Gradually, however, the number of
clubs in Rome has increased, until late
ly Mr.. Wright looked about him and
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-10-08


And-well, anyway, he has shut up
every locker club in Rome, and he de-
clares he will keep them shut, too!
George c. Glenn, of Whitfield coun-
ty, is an Atlanta visitor today.
Asked how it happened that Whit
field elected an independent candidate
for sheriff the other day, instead of
the regular Democratic nominee, Glenn
said he couldn't explain it very well.
save by saying that the independent
got more votes than the other fellow.
You know Whitfield is a curious
county in some things-it goes all sorts
of ways politically now and then. When
it slips its trolley, | never try to ex-
plain it. It's grand old county, new
ertheless!" said the Dalton man.
Whitfield noted with pleasure that
its native son, Paul Tramell, was the
only unopposed candidate for a. state
house office in the late election. To
be sure, the opposition to the others
was merely formal, for the Socialists
never expected, really, to elect a man.
Still, it was something of a compliment
to Whitfield's favorite son that he was
not opposed, even by one vote. His
election to succeed himself was unani-
nous, you might say"

found the city full of them. hTen it
was that he recalled the outside crit
icism of himself. and he asked him
self if that criticism were not more or
less justified.
And-well, anyway, he has shut up

clares he will keep them shut, too!
