BY JAMES 3. NEVIN,

| TO be pushed or crowded out of the
Democratic party nowadays-time
was, of course, when he wasn't so
Particularly any person or thing.
Recently there came to his ears GER
tain rumors of Bull Moose move
ment to put him in the race for
United States Senator, to fill either
one of the forthcoming vacancies he
elected to take over-but the Roman
resoIutely refuses to have anything 10
do with the proposal!
Who are the round belied, red
nosed persons undertaking to shove
me out of the Democratic party and
into some other party just now" In
qutred the gentleman concerned, pic
turesquely and Enthusiastically
enough. when the matter was men
toned to him.
Just to show my contempt for the
suggestion, | will leave tomorrow
night for Indiana, where ] will de-
liver few more prohibition
speeches."
Nevertheless and notwithstanding,
there is much present-day Bull
Moose activity in Georgia, and should
the Rome prohibitionst and orator
undertake to handle one end of the
forthcoming Bull Moose campaign, he
would have some aggressive and ef-
fective backing,
Mrs. Wright is, moreover, and has
been for long time, an outspoken
and enthusiastic admirer and cham
pion of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt,
sometime President of these United
States, and the undoubted hub about
which the Bull Moose party most Sc
riously revolves!
Bull Moosers are going to run
somebody for something in Georgia
pretty sooner bust!
They feel running symptoms in
their bones--they admit a fighting
disposition that will no longer be de-
MED. And so, if the Honorable Seab
will not rally to their flag, somebody
else shall. That much is definitely
settled!
1t NAV be remarked, in passing, too,
that the Bull Moosers are better or
gained and more thoroughly pre-
pared for scrap in Georgia right
now than they ever have been. When
next they sally forth to war, they
may not bring home the bacon, but
!

| Former Congressman Overstreet, Of
Savannah, who Is opposing Congress
man Charles G. Edwards for the lat
ters seat in the National House uf
| Representatives is in Atlanta for a
day or so. Mr., Overstreet Is making
an active and detailed campaign TO
defeat Mr.. Edwards, and believes he
is to win.
! Edwards, however, will 49, no easy
mark there is hardly a doubt of the
truthfulness Of that statement. He
may not be as spectacular as some
members of the Congress, but he
seems to suit his particular district
pretty we'll He is what the First
terms a "produCer"-a producer being
a Congressman who gets things for
the folks back home!"
Both Edwards and Overstreet are
| good men, and each has a strong and
well organized following. The race
| between them. therefore, is bound 10
| be interesting and more or less doubt
full as to finish.
Former Railroad Commissioner S.
| Guyt McLendon, who is perhaps the
very best posted man in Georgia IN
the tariff and kindred questions, VIII
deliver lecture in the Kimball House
/ ballroom tomorrow Thursday
| evening TO which all business men
are cordially invited.
Colonel McLendon will discuss the
! Panama Canal, with reference to its
usefulness tolls and other angles, and
| particularly with reference to the
! business mans ilteres, in the same
| lis talk will not be along political
| lines. as he holds that there Is no poll
| ties in the canal uestion, and should
n. be, but it will be along business
| lines purely.
Those who really wish information
as to this great work, as If viii bear
upon the business world will do wei
TO attend Colonel McLendon's lecture.
Is an authority on this question.
| Stat Senator John r. Allen, Of NIL
! Iedgeville, is in Atlanta attending The
present sitting of the Railroad Com
mission. Senator Allen is one of the

Senate, and commands the entire re-
| speCt and esteem of his colleagues
He says the Congressional race is
