ARE PLEDGING
SUPPORT FOR
Mr.. WHEATLEY
over The ENTIRE STATE
His Friends Active In All
Sections

Most encouraging are the reports
received here by the friends of Mr..
| Crawford Wheatley relative to his
campaign for appointment as one of
the delegates at large to the APP
preaching national democratic conven-
ton, which is to meet in Baltimore.
Letters received here from all sec
tions of the state indicate that Mr..
Wheatley is to have the support of
large number of the delegates to the
convention. and pledges of support for
him in the campaign for the appoint
men have been coming in rapidly of
late. 1t is, indeed, gratifying to know
that Mr.. Wheatley's candidacy is meet
ing with favor throughout the entire
state.
1t has been pointed out by his friends
that he is the logical candidate from
southwestern Georgia. as he is one of
the most prominent men in this sec
ton and he was the very first one to
offer for the position for which So
many others have announced since Mr..
Wheatley entered the field. 1t is be-
lieved that Mr.. Wheatley will be a
winner when the conventions meets in
Atlanta.
His friends here and elsewhere
throughout the state are most active
in support of him, and they believe that
South Georgia and the other sections
of the state will name Mr. Wheatley as
a delegate to Baltimore for the next
national convention.

10 perpetuate the organization.

to perpetuate the organization.
That the movement that is Soon to
be inaugurated will prove a success
seems hardly to be doubted, as the
energetic and persistent members of
the Hospital association are support
ing it and intended to make it a success
before they stop. 1t is their purpose
to secure at once at least enough
money to guarantee the premiums to
be offered for the various crops grown
SO that this list may be published and
be given wide publicity so as to all
in arousing interest in securing the
very best exhibits possible of the va
rious farm products.
1t may be seen from this that the
fair will likely be held in October, as
it is difficult to secure the proper ey-
hibits much earlier than that time. For
this reason there will be much time
remaining in which to work up senti-
ment in favor of the fair and to COL
dect the funds needed to make the as
sociation self supporting, as it is the
plan to ask for subscriptions only a.
the beginning of the fair association,
the organization itself to be made
self-supporting thereafter.
There are many features of interest
that are to be worked out in connec-
ton with the fair, once the guarantee
of the premiums and the organization
fund shall have been secured. Some
very popular features will likely be
included in the program, such as q
parade of decorated floats and other
features that should prove of wide in
terest and enlist the support of the
people of the city and county alike.
The first county fair to be held unde"
the auspices of the new organization,
in case the organization is perfected,
will be a splendid one, as it is the pur-
pose of those who are supporting the
movement that it shall be one that is
worthy and effective in every way.

all in its power to secure the conven-
ton for Americus.
The invitation that is to be ez-
tended to the hardware dealers con-
vention which embraces both the re-
tail and wholesale dealers of the en-
tire state, will be from both the City
Council and Board of Trade, so that
it will have the backing of all the
business men of the city. With this
unanimous support there would be no
difficulty in giving the visitors royal
entertainment in case they see fit to
come to Americus for the next ses-
sion of the convention.
1t was with a determination to Sc
cure the convention for Americas next
year that the representative from this
city left last night for Athens. A large
number of cities throughout the state
have extended invitations to the con-
vention to meet with them next year,
but it is believed that Americus has
most excellent chances of being sue
successful in securing the 1913 con-
vention.

FAIR AND AVIATION EXHIBIT
TO Be HELD HERE NEXT FALL
Hospital Association Seeks to Get Support Of Board of
Trade to Boost Fair and Make 1t Permanent -Av
atiOD Exhibit Can Be Secured

Through the enterprise OF the Ia
,7ias of the Americus and Sumter
County Hospital association, it seems
,,,ost likely that county fair will he
hold here this fall, in connection with
an aviation exhibit. Such is the plan
4ba+ has been suggested, and whicn
if is hoped. can be carried through
successfully.
In order that the business men OF
the city may be pledged as the sup
norrers and hackers of the movement,
the ladies of the Hospital association
will go before the Board of Trade az
an early meeting of that body to be
called for the purpose, and will ask
that the Board of Trade give its sup
mort to the movement that has been
inaugurated for this purpose,
The holding of the fair here in con-
junction with an aviation exhibit,
which. it is claimed can be easily and
readily secured, will make the county
tair organization a success in this
county from the very start An in
uuirv has already been received here
from the Lindsey Hopkins Aviation
Company, of Atlanta, asking for some
date to give an aviation exhibit here
next fall The services of this COM
panv can likely be easily secured and
{ successful aviation exhibit given in
connection with the fair.
II will be recalled that through the
active work of Mr.. G. V. Cunningham
here last fall that the sum of $1,000
was pledged for the organization and
perpetuation of a Sumter County Fair
association. On account of the fact
that the pavements of the city were all
torn up at that time, it was decided
by the Board of Trade not to attempt
a fair here last fall, Notwithstanding
the fact that not only enough
money had been pledged to pay the
premiums for that exhibit, but also

That Railroad Tax.

Gsxpress Il Adyertiser)
Democratic speakers in the State
are repeating daily from the stump
the statement that the Democratic
administration saved the State OF
Maine the rebate ON the Bangor and
Aroosteok Railroad tax. Why do they
do this2 If Governor Plaisted did not
know that the statement was untrue
when first he made it. his attention
and that of his echoes has been called
TO the fact. The claim is false in
every particular and the only excuse
that these speakers can make for
continuing such a claim is that theS
hope some voters will not read the
newspapers and learn what the truth
is. Our Democratic friends seem to
think that a campaign of questions
asked of Republican candidates as T.
whether they are for Taft or Roose-
welt, Is a great political scheme. Our
Questions go close To the heart of
things. We want TO know why, when
they know il is not true. Democratic
speakers persist in declaring that the
Democratic administration : had any
hand whatever in the saving to the
State of the Bangor & Aroosteok tag

Does Hancock County Want Enforce
ment?
ellsworth American.)


The supreme issue in the present
campaign so far as the interests of
Hancock county are concerned is the
matter of the enforcement of the pro-
hibitory law
Daes Hancock county approve of
tie present wide-open condition fof
things, and does it propose to permit
that condition to continue by electing
n Democratic sheriff and county at
torncy?
Go back a little: Before Governor
Cobb's time dissatisfaction with null
LITIGATION under the so-called Ban
ger plan, regardless of party, was
becoming very clear in Hancock
county as well as in other sections
of the state, the county platforms Of
both parties recognized 1t, and the
leaders realized that the voters We're
no longer going to tolerate nulliftea-
ton. a Republican sheriff WIS elect
I'd on the solemn promise that the
law would be enforced.
He failed to keep that promise; he
was turned out and Democrat who
also promised enforcement. was elect
ed. He did so we'll that he was re-
elected and would have been elected
for third term had not q Republican
candidate appeared whom the party
believed could be relied upon to en-
force the law as we'll rs Democrat.
This confidence was not misplaced
and Mr. Slsby served one term to
entire satisfaction, and would have
been reelected two years ago but for
the landslide of that year. Still, so
far as enforcement was concerned,
enforcement sentiment was not un-
easy because it had faith in the Dem
oerat Who was elected and that faith
WAS not misplaced. Up TO the time
of Sheriff Webster's untimely death
Hancock county had been practically
dry for ten years
Then came Il change; Democratic
governor, pledged to enforce all laws
and especially the prohibtory law;
who had already shown how hollow
his pretenses were; how lightly he
regarded an ante-election pledge;
| how little he cared for the enforce
ment sentiment of this county. APP
pointed the present incumbent Mr..
| Jellison, and Hancock county has
since been wide open, especially in
| Ellsworth and Bar Harbor. and the
results OF ten years fight against
open liauor-selling carried on by the
| enforcement sentiment of both polid-
| cal parties, go to the dogs.
Is Hancock county going to stand
| for this? If it is. then vote for the
| Democratic candidates for sheriff,
| Otha H. Jellison, whose record gives
| every assurance that he can be
| counted on to continue his oath
| breaking, law-defying policy of per-
| hitting liquorselling.
If the. voters of Hancock county
| want that kind of man for sheriff

on to continue the. policy of nullifica-
| ton.

The inpatient Record.

The eyer amusing Biddeford Record
is holding its breath. now, awaiting
the answer Of Hon. William It. Haines
as to whether he will vote for Taft or
Roosevelt. The Record doesn't care
anything about his preference for eth
er of these distinguished gentlemen
over one Mr.. Wilson, but it is of eXcru-
ciating Importance, his choice between
Teddy and Taft. The Record says, and
we judge that it means it, from the
tone in when it says it:
Having finally pronounced himself
unqualifedly in favor of the prohlbitory
system at this late day for the purpose
of confounding the Democrats, 1t is now
incumbent upon Mr.. Haines to make II
public where he stands as between TAFT
and Roosevelt Who does he propose to
licans or the Taft Republicans? We
await with much interest his declaration
on this point.
Certainly it is matter of moment To
the Democrats of Maine! They should
know before they vote whether, in No
vember, Mr.. Haines is to vote fol
Roosevelt or for Taft. Just what bear
ing MIR. Haines' vote may or may not
have evidently has not occurred to the
Record, but it wants to know and ii
wants to know right off.

1t is singular to say the least, that
1T remained fer a Democratic admin
istration to discern a necessity that
the ballots cast, from Kittery to
Eastport, and from the Canadian
border TO the sea, be removed from
the control of those Immediately con-
cerned in their preservation and ac-
curacy, and, as would be the case
with reference to many sections of
the State, deposited several hundred
miles from the locality where the
necessity for inspection would rea-
sonably be expected to exist
1t is singular, to say the least, that
the project developed at a special ses-
sion of Democratic legislature, fresh
from Il reverse at the hands OF the
people, and smarting under a defeat
by the ballot of the one great over
mastering issue that sustains life in
the Democratic organization, to wit
the overthrow of our anti-saloon leg
islation, and was born twin to another
| Democratic project, to wit, further
| resolve that would throttle the consti.
tutional bar to license and lawless
ness.
