CLIFF WALKER A HUSTLER
In MEETING THE VOTERS
Has Jabbed The Lunch Hooks
Of 100000 Already

Genial Cliff Walker, of Monroe, who
is so well known in Americas and over
the state, is showing the old cam
paigners some new stunts when it
comes to meeting the voters. Col.
Walker is making lively campaign
for the Office of attorney-general and is
shaking hands, effectively, with more
people than is any other candidate for
any Office, and his friends regard him
a, sure winner.
Returning frem- Bainbridg the other
day he surprised a candidate for gov
ernor whom he met by telling him he
had shaken hands with every voter in
Arlington during the fifty-minute stop
for supper. Next morning while the
other passengers were eating breakfast
at Smithville, Walker shook hands and
got in word with every voter in the
place, and got his breakfast, too.
Asked how many voters he had met
since he had been travelling over the
state, Walker said he scarcely knew
but it must be somewhere in the neigh
borhood of hundred thousand. He
keeps his headquarters going at his
home in Monroe while he himself trav-
els about the state, making as many as
four or five towns in one day. There
are not many of them, no matter what
Office they are running for, who are
doing that.

Dog Kidnaps
Little Kittens

Los Angeles, CAL, July INJURY,
tabby cat, at the home of Carl P. Mey-
eran, 2S3 South Wilton place, made a
move several days ago which resulted
in the. kidnapping of her family, two
blue-eyed kittens, by little fox ter
rier dog. Muffy prefers to bring up
her family according 10 her own ideas,
and resents any interference, no mat
ter how good ones intentions may be.
Neither does she take any stock in
those new tangled ideas of sanitation;
So when neighbor deigned to sprin-
kle flea powder on her offspring she
moved them to a new home. This
came near being Muff's undoing, fur
40 sooner had she settled in the new
place than along came the little fox
terrier, who, having no family, took
the kittens. Mrs. Muffy was frantic
until some one found and restored her
family to her yesterday.

SLATON DOES NOT
LET RACE INTERFERE

Atlanta, July lin the midst OF
the political turmoil, with candidates
making the welkin ring everywhere Gov
ernor Slaton is remembering that he
is governor first and candidate sec
ond, and is sticking right on his job
and attending to business. He has
quite an array of stenographers and
clerks at work in his campaign, but
they are paid from his own funds and
the secretaries and other aides paid
by the state are attending to state bus
mess.
The governor does not seem to be
permitting his mind to be diverted
from state affairs by his senatorial
race. He is strongly interested IN
several bills loking to the welfare Of
the state institutions and spends Il
great deal of time in conference on
them.
