If Joe Pottle should run he will get
up more steam than any man in the
race. He is a fine orator and can
make the welkin ring. Besides, he is
as good campaigner and stump speak
er as can be found from New York
to Jacksonville and he has such win
ming way. He is a fine lawyer and
clever thinker, but his long suit is
good Judgement and unblemished
character, and after all this is the
main thing.

nous lecture, 1.-THE Prince of Peace,
to be delivered at the Cordele school
auditorium on Monday evening, May
20 is expected to attract possibly the
largest audience that has ever heard
a lecturer in this city.
The Great Commoner comes under

"The Prince of Peace" is decidedly
one of Bryan's most popular lectures.
He has thrilled thousands upon thous-
ands with his eloquence and genius
in the delivery of this great master
piece and thousands have travelled
hundreds of miles to hear him on this
subject.

Reflected Dissertations
BY MAX E. LAND.

The Dispatch made the prediction
the first of the year that the people OF
Georgia would refuse to get excited
over politics this year, and as time
passes it becomes very clear that this
was safe prediction.
The Macon Telegraph is calling for
Moses to lead the race for governor,
and calls for something definite, but
if the Moses should appear, or a Bob
Toombs or Alex Stephens, there
would not be any more of the old
time enthusiasm. There are many
reasons for this. While this is polit-
ical or election year the people are
busy with many other more impor-
tant things. The truth is the people
are becoming more conservative, more
ment, and this is all for the best.
High feeling is fearful draft on good
clear judgment and brain power and
often conscience too
Another thing, the people have been
fooled so often on issues or rather the
lack of issues, and the promised good
things which would come after we
are elected. We all remember the
Divine Call and the earthly millen7
MUM and port rates and other things
which would free mankind from suf-
fering in Georgia if Hoke Smith was
elected governor.
Besides, governor is not near so
great a man as he used to be. Even
the young can remember that when
the governor came to town, everybody
turned cut as if to see circus. Now
a governor can visit a small town and
move along the streets without at
tracing more than passing notice,
and cause none of we old time enthu-
siasm.
Doubtless they have learned that
the great are very human and very
selfish and very earthly like the rest
of folks.

If Hugh Dorsey was looking for wild
fire to break out from Rabun Gap to

that there was for Clark Howell when
he ran, and we all remember his race.
