{, OF GEORGIA GETS
RESULTS FROM ADS
Keeping Patrons Informed
Through Newspapers Enter
ing Fourth Year

The plan of the Gentry of Georgia
Railway to keep its patrons inform
ed by the publication of monthly
statements in newspapers along its
lines has had splendid results. ac-
cording to President, L. A. Downs.
The plan is now entering it's
fourth consecutive year and Mr..
Downs says he believes the monthly
statements Of the Central have help
ed the people in this territory to be-
come better informed in regard to
the Central and other railroads.
One effect has been to help the Cen
trail of Georgia become better &C
quainted with the needs of its pa
irons and to make hi employees
Of the road more eager to render
better service. President Downs be-
lieves there is much less prejudice
against the railroads now than there
was 3 years ago; that citizens gen
orally realize it is more important
to their own welfare to help the rail
roads through constructive treat
ment than to injure them through
unconstructive regulations. Part of
this change in sentiment, he believes
has been due to the informative
statements published each month.
In discussing the matter, Mr.,
Downs reviews the subjects that
!, have been treated in the monthly
statements in simple, non-technical
manner, and with the desire to de.
yelop better understanding through
informing the public about the rail.
roads and informing the Central
about its patrons needs and wishes
He says that after three years OF
this work he is convinced that the
patrons understand and apporye d
what the railroad is trying to do.

ROOSEVELT MAY BE
EYEING SECRETARY
OF NAVY PORTFOLIO
Accepts New York Candidacy
So He May Climb Higher,
Thinks Hunt
BY HARRY B. HUNT
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Oct. Gust
WHY did Teddy Roosevelt resign his
lob as assistant secretary of navy
after he had been nominated as the
! G. O. P. candidate for governor OF
New York?
This is a question that is receiV-
ing a seemingly asburd amount OF
consideration here in Washington.
Offhand, the simple and probably
correct answer would seem to be
that he resigned SO as to be foot
loose to plunge full tilt into his bat
tie to unseat Governor Al Smith, his
Democratic rival.
But simple and direct answers
90 not satisfy the politically sus-
picious here in the capital. They're
always seeking some underlying mo-
tive To be obvious, they hold, ism :
polite. There must always DO
something back" Of everything toat
is done.
After cogitating on the fact that
other federal office holders have not
] resigned in order to prosecute thcir
campaigns that President Coolidge
| kept on being president; that Cover
nor Bryan has held onto his job as
governor of Nebraska; that Sean1or
La Toilette and Wheeler, following
the example Of Senator Harding
when he was running for president
have held onto their togas pending
the result of the election, these wise
acres have found an explanation"
which is interesting, whether It IS
accurate or not.
$50
Teddy, this explanation goes, re
signed as assistant secretary of navy
in order that he might be eligible
for appointment as secretary Of
navy in case he is defeated for gov
ernor Of New York and Coolidge
still wins for the presidency.
Politicians generally take it for
granted Secretary Wilbur will not
be retained in the official family
should Coolidge succeed himself,
Wilbur, cabinet critics hold, hasn't
measured up. Whatever his ability,
he isn't sufficiently politically mind
!! ed, they say, to maneuver repart-
mental dreadnaught safely through
the high political seas that are ex-
pected to be running through The
next four years.
The speech which he delivered
while out west, prior to his recent
recall to Washington, and the speech
which he was to have delivered at
Denver, but didn't, are cited as prog-
ing that he is entirely too frank and
