Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-04-04
BY JAMES 8. NEVlN.


House being particularly well sup
piled with EN-!
They compose, collectively the I'M
terrified Democracy of the State of
Jawjaw, and they are here to save
said State!
There are more unselfsh and I'M
afraid patriots in Atlanta to-day
than there have been in many moons.
AS a matter of fact, of course, the
Executive Committee Is providing for
| the distribution of the finest and
| juiciest assortment of political plums
assembled in days and days-but this
is fat year for Democrats any way
I one looks at the matter-and there
YOU are!
Undoubtedly, moreover, Governor
| Slaton is a prime favorite with the
visitors He is a popular Governor
well liked generally and genuinely
esteemed and respected. He knows
very many people in Georgia, too. His
seventeen wears in the Legislature and
his four years attendance at the Uni
versity Of Georgia have served to
give him wide acquaintance, and
one mighty well worth while.
The Governors office in the Capitol
was packed and jammed all day Fri
| DAY and this morning, with callers, all
! wishing him well, and many OF them
telling him, in the friendiest sort or
way, just what to do to be saved in
/ the crisis now upon him. 1t general
/ ~ is anticipat ted that he will land on
his feet all right!
Senator Hoke Smith, although not
/ present also is much talked about.
| His fine work for the regional bank
| in Atlanta which was fine work for
ALL Georgia-has won for him I'M
grudging and universal applause.
Without regard to factional lines,
/ the Senator is given first and fore
most credit for bringing the regional
/ bank to Atlanta!
1t is the consensus of opinion that
/ Senator Smith is not to have opposi-
| tion-and It is largely the opinion
! that he ought not to have. One
| hears that suggestion on all sides.
The fight for the succession to Sen
! ator Bacon is to be spectacular-but
the betting is that Slaton will win it,
| Ii is thought that he surely will run
] for that position.
AS for the forthcoming Governor
| ship scramble.
Brr-r-r That will be fierce'l
