hard problem for statewide candi-
dates to keep within the limit set,
and keep in the public eye, in order
to get the public's vote-the first of
which they must do to keep out of
Jail, and the second of which they
must do or get beat. 1t, has been
suggested by some persons suffering
from crouch and Indigestion, that
such office holders, now in a state
wide campaign for the same, or an
other office, can get around among
the people on what they term "of
fetal business; and, while getting
around, talk to the people about their
own particular political business. But
there is nothing in this-for every
one of these, as matter of course,
will be strictly conscientious about it.,
and carefully put down in his ex-
pense account, as a candidate, all ex-
penditures he makes on official trips
or otherwise, when he is talking to
and appearing before the people as
candidate; and, as each candidate,
in making up his statement of ex-
penditures, has to swear that this in
cludes everything spent by himself,
or others, in futherance of his candi-
dacy in any way, a candidate must in
clude all of these items in the ex-
pense account he files as candidate,
or commit perjury-which no public
official can do.

to get through, not because it wasn't

some time was badly needed to cut
down the extravagant amounts which
county officials get for their services;
but because there was Just enough op-

SOME RAMBLING AND
SCATTERING REMARKS.
By Claude L'Engle.

In the the old days considered
good or bad according to whether you
looked up politics as a business or an
inspiration-when the limit of ex-
penditures was the sky, candidates
for public office had one hard propo-
sition to solve, which was-how to
get the money to make themselves
sufficiently known to put themselves
in the way of getting enough votes
to win.
At this time, they have two hard
problems to solve-to raise the neces-
sary 'swherewith," Itself hard enough
in these war times to give any cam
didate pause); and, to keep their ex-
penditures within the limit fixed for
each candidate by what is known as
sThe Corrupt Practices Law of
1913" IF a candidate is making a
statewide canvass, this second prob
lem of keeping the expenditures down
is liable to prove harder than the first
one Of getting the money-hard as
this one is.
/ have gone carefully over this
Corrupt Practices Law of 1913, and
I pronounce it unbeatable. There is
no way in which a candidate can ex-
coed the limit set in each case, with
out committing perjury; and, having
had some experience as candidate in
a statewide canvass, ! am not able
to figure how candidates for state of
fees can keep within the limit and
make a thorough canvass-one that
will reach all of the people. Butts
each man has got to figure this out,
which reconciles me to the circum
stances which have held me in their
grasp for the past three years, max
ing it impossible for meNto be cam
didate at this time.
Former Governor, and senatorial
candidate, Gilchrist, presented some
figures, which were in the main cor
rect; and, these figures left very lit
tie for newspaper advertising which
is the best publicity of all, and in
fact, the only way to reach all of the
people. In my statewide canvass
for congressman-at-large, I spent a
little over fifty-eight hundred dol
lars, exceeding the present limit for
state candidate by eighteen hundred
dollars; and, as owned newspaper,
I didn't have to put in the advertis-
ing did in that, which would have
cost me two thousand dollars or
more, considering the amount I did.
I made very modest campaign,
compared with some others know
about; and, while it is far from my
thought or desire to say that any of
the present candidates for state Of
fees win make an inmodest cam
paign, none of them are better known
than / was when announced as
candidate.
Take just four items of expense
that are absolutely essential in the
governors race, for example, and you
have exceeded more than half of
your legal limit of four thousand dol
lars. iNEEW

SHOULD Be VACCI-
Mated EARLY

1t is proper that people should
be reminded every spring that they
should be vaccinated early against
typhoid fever, just the same as in
December it is proper that they
should be reminded to do their
Christmas shopping early. We all
know when Christmas is coming,
but we can't tell what day typhoid
fever may strike US. Therefore, be
vaccinated early, before flies and
fever make their appearance.
The State OF Georgia furnishes
the vaccine 70 its citizens free. Get
your doctor to write to the State
Board Of Health for your dose, and
do it now, for procrastination is the
thief Of time ana may also be "a rob
Der Of life. Three hypodermic in
jections are required at intervals OF
from five to ten days apart, and
this confers immunity which is al
most absolute for about three years.
The dose is based on body weight,
and not upon age.
Here is what the United States
Government says about the value Ct
this procedure: 1.-THE conclusion is
inevitable that the prophylactie vac
cine as used in the army has given
almost absolute protection against
typhoid fever without producing
untoward effects Of any character
the vaccine is both efficient and
harmless, :" All of our soldiers are
vaccinated against this fever every
three years-the result, no typhoid
in our army!
