STATEMENT
TO GEORGIA VOTERS
Hon. Joseph E. PottIe

|, complish. any scheme or device which
threatens the value or integrity of this
great property. In my Judgment, thS
situation relative to the Western 81 At
lantic railroad is the gravest now i'm
mediately confronting the people. II
the L. s. N. railroad, or any other
railroad corporation, is permitted tc
build a road from Atlanta to the state
line, paralleling the Western Atlantis,
and within its natural territory, the
final consequence is self-evident that
this property will be practically de.
stroyed. Such a consequence will he a
crime against the people of this state
That a concerted effort to do this IS
being made is apparent, and the
sources from which it comes are equal
ly apparent. Against such an end
will, if elected, cast the full weight OF
the power Of the executive. The West
ern & Atlantic railroad should be leas-
ed for a long term of years and, IN my
opinion, it is simple justice that pro-
vision should be made in the lease con
tract for the payment to the counties
through which the road runs of sums
equivalent to the local taxes thereon.
FAvoRs ADEQUATE SUPPORT
OF STATES INSTITUTIONS.
/ am in favor of economy IN the
conduct of the affairs of the state, bat
100 great economy 10 pdlSlilOllS' e1liN
am not in favor of that false economy
which would starve and cripple our
public institutions The common
schools of the state must grow in e.
fectiveness, they cannot stand still
Their teachers must be paid, not only
promptly brit in salaries in accordance
with their usefulness and capacity.
The two great normal and Industrial
schools for girls, one at MlIledgevllle
and the other at Valdosta, the Techno-
logical school, the State university, the
agricultural schools, the State Normal
school, and our common schools, are
the pride of every patriotic Georgian
and should be supported to the full linn
it, The first named two institutions,
the schools for our girls, managed as
they are and have been with an eX-
traordinary degree of ability and sue
cess, have sent their graduates to every
militia district in this state to distribute
the splendid influence of their superb
training. They are the best and most
effective girls normal and industrial
schools in the southern states; they are
justly the pride of all of us. They are
maintained by funds from the treasury
of the state and yet there are turned an
nually from their doors 500 girls, or
more, equally entitled to their benefits.
This ought not to be possible, and
shall insist on the remedy, If elected
governor, to the full limit of the states
financial capacity under the constitution
and the law.

To the People of Georgia:

To the People of Georgia.
/ have determined to be a candi-
date for governor of our state.
am fully aware that no citizen
should seek election to this exalt-
ed and honorable Office without
serious reflection upon the gravity
of its responsibilities. This re-
Election l have undertaken to make
and after a conference with as
many of my friends as l have been
fortunate enough to see, and after
carefully considering the many
communications received from them
from various parts of the State,
believe that it is my duty to make
this race.
1 was born in 1866. in Warren
county, in the heart or middle
Georgia, and while | have held for
several years the office of solicitor
general of the Ocmulgee circuit,
have never held or sought a political
office, and my activity in the politi-
cal affairs of the state has been
confined to the service of my friends,
which have rendered with pleasure
and to the utmost of my ability.
In the peculiar and unprecedented
political situation now existing in
this state, my friends have advised
me that it is my duty to make this
race, and yielding to their opinion l
shall enter at once upon the cam
paign.
This being my purpose, the people
of Georgia, whose suffrage | shall
solicit, are entitled to know the
position which l occupy upon the
questions which engage the public
mind.
STANDS FOR IMPARTIAL.
ENFORCEMENT OF LAW.
No man is entitled to ask for the
votes of the people for this high
office who is not openly, avO~edly
and consistently in favor of Obedi-
ence to the law and the enforce

against every man, rich or poor,
high or low, great or small. If the
arm of the law were paralyzed for
thirty days, universal anarchy
would prevail and the lives, happi-
ness and prosperity of all the peo-
pie would be in jeopardy.
While 1 know full we'll that after
all is said and done, the law must
| look for its enforcement to the jurors
and the courts, it is the bOunden
duty of the executive to use the
power of his office to the full and
| legal limit for this great end, and
this, if / am elected, will be my
| first and foremost purpose.

Among the material assets of this
state, tho Western & Atlantic railroad

WHAT BUSINESS WANTS.

AS far as the Presidential election is
concerned, business desires of politics
attention to three principal matters
the tariff, the railroads and the mer-
chant marine. 1t asks that the tariff
be dominated and administered by an
expert, non-partisan commission, act
ing for the best interests of the whole
countrys businessmen by politicians
pledged blindly either to the policy
of revenue only or of protection In
discriminatory. For the railroads it
wants regulation which will allow
the transportation business to become
and to remain universally prosperous,
and not such regulation as has in the
last few years driven one-sixth of the
mileage of the country into bank
ruptcy through endeavor to force OPP
Grafton of cast-iron theory, engi-
neered by a commission without ex-
pert experience. For the upbuilding
of the merchant marine it asks that
destructive navigation laws be re-
pealed and such legislation passed as
to permit American owners in oper-
ating ships to compete successfully
with the ship owners of other coun-
tries. Beyond this, it demands that
the government keep its hands off
either operation or ownership. 1t is,
of course. understood that politics
does not care particle what business
wants, except that it recognizes that
when business is good tenure of office
is more liable to continue. Conse-
quently, on these grounds some study
and attention to the above recital of
simple wants will not be improbable
for either party, says an exchange.

WHEN THE BAND COMES OUT

! Old Prob. hands out some hot ones
We swelter thro Dog Day,
! AT night with eighty above
It's mic etc have the Band play;
Autos come to the concert,
The children froIic and shout,
Some promenade and lemonade,
When the Band Comes Out.
Men lay on carpets of green
Under the beautiful trees,
God made for mans delight,
Lulled by the murmuring breeze;
The pretty waiter girls are there,
What are the beaus about
When sweethearts are so plenty
When the Band Comes Out?
Fondest VOWS may be pllghted
Under the beautiful trees,
Many flirtations delighted
With music in hours of ease;
Many hearts made better
And happier no doubt
By the glad inspiring music,
When the Band Comes Out.
The Band tho small in number,
Yet pays amazingly well,
The music of the larger bands
That make bigger swell;
The solos are first class.
Then let the grumblers pout,
Some don't know music anyway,
When the Band Comes Out.
Who has no music In his soul
VIII find no joy in life,
The world he thinks is out of joint
With discord, wrong and strife;
The best the nation can afford
For an intellectual govt.
Won't always please the cranky,
When the Band Comes Out.
Where there's no taste for music
But an everlasting smoke,
And a bottle of strong moonshine
With-a stale old fashioned joke; |
Il they only think of eating
Some bully sauer kraut,
Of course they've no ambition
10 have the Band Come Out.

A GROWING EVIL
Nashville Banner)

Hon. Samuel Seabury judge OF
the court OF appeals in New York
was designated by the democratic con
terence at Saratoga as the party S
cala ttt for gov b, i"r. and the des's.
nation will most likely be ratified IN
the party primary.
Judge Seabury appears to be man
of excellent qualities and viii no
doubt make a good governor if elect
ed. A new governor OF NV YORK,
either democratic or republican, is
usually a possible future president,
and the office has an additional in-
portance for that reason.
But what it is intended to note here
is that no sooner had Judge Seabu y
become the prospective domoera; C
gubernatorial candidate than a mi l.
ute study of his record on the bench
was begun for the purpose of findi!f :
campaign material both for and
against him.
The same has been true of Mr.
Hughes. AS soon as he was takun
from the federal supreme bench 10
become the republican presidential
nominee, his judicial record became
a matter of close political scrutiny.
Ii it doesn't become an active factor
in the campaign, the reason will be
that it affords no material for politi-
cal use.
Without reference personally or po-
litically to either of the men here
mentioned, that is an unfortunate
phase Of American public life. Ii
creates a condition likely to bias the
judicial opinions that for every rea-
son of justice and good government
should be projected from political in
fluences, or any bent that political
prospects or aspirations might create
If men are to be constantly taken
from the bench to fill political offices,
political ambition will necessarily
find lodgment in the breasts of the
judges, and if judicial decisions are
used either for or against a candidate
who has been a judge, then it may
surely come to pass that such decis-
ions will be greatly influenced by
Tglli
evil.
Judge Seabury made the decision
that the New York board of education
could not remove a woman teacher
because she had become a mother. |
That was just, and it was also popu-
lar, and for that reason it will be
played up" as a feature inthe cam
paign. He also mad ca decision about |
taxicb rates that was popular, and
he was the presiding judge in the
Becker trial. His every ruling and
his demeanor while on the trial was
in progress will likely be dwelt upon
in the campaign.
1t would not be proper to disquali-
fly judges from holding political office.
That would have tendency to keep
live men out of the judiciary, and it
might also deprive the state and ma
ton OF the service of some excellent
men who could be taken from the
bench to fill legislative and executive
places, but if some way could be
found to prevent a judicial record
from being used either for or against
the judge who becomes a candidate
for pol 'tical office the public welfare
would he thereby enhanced.
