Seaborn Wright, of Rome, declines
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 cars GER
tain rumors of a Bull Moose move
ment to put him in the race for
| United States Senator, to fill either
one of the forthcoming vacancies he
elected 10 take over-but the Roman
resolutely refuses to have anything 10
do with the proposal!
who are the round bellied, red
nosed persons undertaking to shove
me out of the Democratic party and
into some other party just now?' in
| quired 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 l will de-
liver few more prohibition
speeches."
Nevertheless and Notwithstanding,
there is much present-day Bull
! Moose activity in Georgia, and should
the Rome prohibitionist and orator
undertake TO handle one end Of the
| forthcoming Bull Moose campaign, he
Fwculd have some aggressive and eff
! fective backing.
Mrs. Wright is, moreover. and has
been for a 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 fghtins
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 a scrap In Georgia right
now than they ever have been. W men
next they sally forth 10 war, they
may not bring home the bacon, but
| they will leave a dent in somebody
armor-believe them!
! Former Congressman Overstreet, Of
| Savannah. who Is opposing Congress
man Charles G. Edwards for the lat
ter's seat in the National House %
Representative is in Atlanta for a
/ day or so. Mr.. Overstreet is making
| an active and detailed campaign 20
defeat Mr.. Edwards, and believes he
| is To win.
Edwards, however, will -- no easy
mark-there is hardly doubt Of tine
| 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 well. 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 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 CThursday)
evening, to which all business men
are cordially invited.
Colonel McLendon will discuss the
Panama Canal with reference to its
