Up and Down
Peachtree
Here S a New Way
To Capture Votes.

A new aspirant for council, seeking in
formation as to how to get votes, was
given an illustration today of the best
political speech ever made in Atlanta by
a wise old politician at the city hall
During the city campaign last year the
candidates were all out to address a mass
meeting in the farther end of the Fifth
ward a section where man gets all
or none of the votes, for the citizens
stand together All of them had APP
pealed to the voters in the same vein;
they had either been born in the Fifth
ward had lived in the Fifth ward, or had
married in the Fifth ward, and, according
ly were presenting themselves as true
Fifth warders.
They seemed to be enjoying about equal
favor until George Johnson, candidate
for recorder. declared that he had spent
all his life in the Fifth ward and had
become familiar with every inch of it run
ming over it as a barefoot boy. He took
the meeting by storm.
Walter Taylor. who was making hard
fight for city clerk had been sitting in
silence Each new cheer had been forcing
him into deeper detection. He had no
connection with the Fifth ward and there
was nothing he had done for it to which
he could point Then he was called to
follow Mr.. Johnson with speech.
Gentlemen" he began, '"I nor any of
my people have ever lived in the Fifth
ward l have never given you any paved
streets or school houses or anything Of
the kind But | want YOU to under
stand that am just about as barefooted
as Mir Johnson was when he used to
run over this ward, and want your
votes

Fulton Representative Has Most
Unique and Emphatic Ges-
ture in the Assembly.

Representative Walter McElreath, of
Fulton chairman of the house commit
tee on appropriations. is frequently on
his feet discussing things on the floor.
His fate in this matter is merely the
common fate of all chairmen of appro-
priations committees for it is to the
chairman that the house looks for in
formation in financial affairs. and
many bills involve appropriations, Of
course.
Mir McElreath is not a particularly
sonorous or eloquent speaker. He never
makes anything other than a good
speech in substance and form, but he
does not impress one Immediately as
an orator qualifying for the Demos
thenian class.
It's His Only Gesture
The gentleman from Fulton has one
gesture-only one 1t is unique and
unusual, in its way. and it doubtless
gets on some peoples nerves at times,
for ali the emphasis it carries.
MIR McElreaths only gesture is a
punch-a punch delivered straight and
horizontally from the right shoulder, by
the hand with the first and second
fingers rigidly extended!
He separates sentences and periods
precisely and exactly with that punch.
If he initiates anybody it generally is
the party who dissents from what he
says. 1t is one of the most insistent lit
tie old punches anybody ever saw
How "the Punch Works.
His speeches run about like this:

it is cracked up (punch, punch, punch)
to be! think (punch) ! am right

Fulton gets it all out Of his SYSTEM

EARLY COLLECTIONS MONDAY.
New Plan Will be Tried Beginning
Monday-Holiday Rush Soon.

their early collection OF the mail
through the business districts at I
o'clock on every day but Sunday with
next week. The plan will embrace
the added feature of a mail collection
between the hours of and p. m.
throughout the business district. A
new carrier has been engaged and will
begin this work next Monday.
Postmaster Rogers has observed that
a number of Hancock people were i'm
the habit of cutting the stamps from
the stamped envelopes supplied by
the government and using these
stamps for other mail. Mr. Rogers has
issued a warming against this practice
and has had to forward a number Of
such articles to the dead letter office
i'm Washington for disposal.
Another feature of the law to which
the postmasters has had to call the at
lention of the patrons Of the postof-
flee is the ruling against tinsel covered
postcards which are not allowed in the
mails. A number of postcards which
have been mailed I'm the tissue paper
envelopes have been held up at the
Hancock office because of insufficient
postage. Such an article does not go
for the regular postcard rate but must
pay the same postage as letter
Mr.. Rogers has also stated that the
Christmas rush can be expected soon
and at this time the mails are natural
~ greatly congested. Articles that are
expected to reach an addressee before
a certain time as is the case with
Christmas gifts should be mailed extra
early to avoid delay in delivery and to
insure their reaching their destination
on time.
