Daddy Mclaughlin has represent

State Legislature, and always most

hoy they want their representatives

His word is as good as his bond, ell
the time and In all circumstancesl
Senator William Stanley West 10
expected to arrive in Atlanta Satur~
day, and conference between him
self and Governor Slaton Is by no
means unlikely for that afternoon.
Senator West has been looked upon
in some quarters as a possible candi-
date for Senator Bacon's unexpired
term, and he may run. However, he
has not stated what he will do.
1t is understood that when he was
given his present temporary appoint
ment there we're mo strings tied TO
tat the same time 1t is known
that he and Governor Slaton are firm
friends, and that there will be no
conflict Of ambitions between them.
Senator West is vice chairman OF
the State Democratic Executive COM
mittee. and viii attend the forthcom-
ing session of that body which takes
place in the State Capitol on April 4.
Representative William Schley
Howard, Of the Fifth District, Is to so
back to washington unopposed. He
is now serving his second term. and
his third doubtless win serve to fix
him safely on a long and uninter-
rupted career in Congress.
Mr.. Howard is looked upon as a

Like all new members, he suffered for
q time from the handicap that cir
cumstance necessarily and inevitably
involves He now has progressed we'll
beyond his period of newness, how

time OF late to devote to his AFFAIRS

his friends as a substantial testimony
to his fitness for his present work

constituents. there still should have
come as yet no whisper of oppose

Howard is considered one of the
very catchiest and most effective
speakers in the House. and he never

Representatives so many men,

Seats To Be Installed in Audito-
rum for Classes and Use Of
Parents Club.

Atlanta's School Board is prepar-
ing to install seats in the auditorium
Of the Forrest Avenue School to ac-
commodate the classes and the
Parents Club.
At fhe Boards regular meeting
Thursday afternoon Councilman
Claude Ashley made a plea that this
work be done Immediately, and the
question involved a heated discus
sion.
During the talk It was suggested
that all the schools be supplied with
Chairs, and the problem arose as to
bow to do 1t with the amount Of
money on hand.
AehIoy's Plan Prevails.
Some members proposed that that
part OF the money provided for teach
ers' desks and equipment be added to
the fund, but the general opinion
wasstiat Council should be asked to
find the means. II was decided that
Councilman Ashley's request be
granted, and in return the Council
man pledged his support In Council
to- provide the Board with more
money for the equipment when the
June sheet is made up.
A communication from state Su-
perintendent Britain was read in
forming the Board that it could sea
lect any Of the four State supervisors
to make survey of Atlanta's pub

Teachers Petitions.
No action was taken because Of
the absence of Commissioner Quinn,
who fathered the resolution urging
the investigation.
Petitions were received from va
rious teachers asking that they be
paid for absence. but no action was
taken. The Board approved Super
intendent Stations appointments Of
supernumeraries and transfers Of
teachers.
It was suggested by Alderman
Armistead that the Board increase
the salary Of Miss Harralson, mu-
steal director, to $3.50 per month, but
no action was taken.

Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-03-27

The last Thursday and Friday in
each month are given over in the
Capital to the consideration OF Glenn
ency hearings. upon which occasions
the Governor opens wide the doors Of
the executive department to all sorts
and conditions Of persons, black and
white asking for relief for convicted
prisoners.
There is no other line Of work con-
nected with the Governorship that
takes so much Of the executives time
as these clemency matters. And the
personal hearings are, really. the
smallest features Of the business. too.
Frequently the Governor takes
home with him late in the afternoon
great patches OF records, petitions
and exhibits bearing upon this, that
or the other clemency petition, and
sits far into the night trying to seek
out the truth.
It is doubtful If Georgia ever before
had a Governor who took the matter
of his clemency rogative-which
is entirely arbitrary--to heart more
than the present executive.
Governor Slaton has remarked, time
and again, that nothing else gives
him so much real concern or taxes his
patience and intelligence so heavily.
Jealous of the strict administration Of
the law on the one hand, and of an
exceptionally kind -hearted disposition
on the other, Governor Slaton finds
that matters involving clemency vex
and fret him out Of all proportion to
his other work!
Yesterday and again to-day, the
executive department has been pack
ed and jammed with people anxious
to see the Governor on matters con-
corning pardons, combinations or
paroles. Many Of these people are
extremely ignorant, and have to be
listened to with great patience and
forbearance It often happens,
therefore, that an hour or more Of
good time is taken UP in a hearing
from which nothing possibly can
come, yet which car not in all kind
ness and consideration, be cut short
or avoided.
The last Thursday and Friday in
the month are the busiest and most
trying days of all for the Governor -
and they will continue to be, so long
as the present executive is in office.
The Macon Telegraph suggests an
awful and truly terrifying series Of
"supposes' in-the following:
'Just suppose Governor Slaton
should decide to run for the Senate
against Senator Hoke Smith, and
suppose Attorney General Fielder
should jump into the Governors race,
and Colonel West should decide to
get in the race against Billy Hard
wick for Senator Bacon's seat: sup
pose Jack and Hoke were fighting for
the North Georgia seat IN the Senate
and the two Bills were scrapping for
the South Georgia seat, and then sup
pose somebody should convince Lit
tie Joe Brown that he is again need
ed in the Gubernatorial chair and he
should decide to get into the race.
does anybody believe that things
would not be lively in Georgia? And
does anybody believe that lineup
like that is beyond the range OF. prob
abilities?'
Well, lot of people believe that
such a line-up is beyond the range of
probabilities not that II Is be-
yond the range of possibilitiesl
And 1t would mean that something
would break loose in Georgia.
