POLITICS N,
.
o JAMES 8.,
g
It seems generally agreed among
aspirants for office and among the
newspapers of the State that the
forthcoming campaigns shall he clean,
good natured, and gentlemanly, no
matter how warm the argument may
grow as the various fights progress
A a matter of fact, the nld knock
down-and.-drag-out methods of polit
jcal warfare—once so fashicnable In
dear old Georgla—seems nowadays to
be thoroughly diseredited, and, while
tha forthcoming battles are to be
interesting and spectacular enough
for averyday purposes, they are not
to he characterized by mud-slinging
and billingsgate,
In this connection, the Renola Fn
terprise of last week savs:
“There are scattered about the
Btate n class of men who meam
to think the way to galn the
confidence and support of thelr
fellowman is to indulge In whole
sale abuee of other men and in
stitutions. Such an {dea can only
find lodgment in a distorted,
angled or undeveloped brain.
Abuse never promoted any cause
or achleved any success in any
fleld of endeavor. On the other
hand, it has retarded progress,
hindered development and de
stroved many men and many in
stitutiona. In ghort, abuss never
got anybody anything except de
feat and fallure, and never will.”
The Enterprise goecsg on to explain
that this undesirable class of habit
ual mud-slingers and viliflers s
rather small, in proportion to the
whole number of voters, and that it
is scattered rather impartially be
tween the factions and the sections,
S 0 far, there has been no rough
house tactics employed by any can
didate whose hat elther actually is
in the ring or prospectively so. The
outlook is for a high-class campaign
—and the prospects are that the en
suing fights will leave few, if any,
wounds to heal and little bitterness
te he forgiven or forgotten
GGeorglans have found, at rather
heavy cost, that campaigns of abuse
do not pay-—never have, and likely
never will—and they seem disposed
this year to govern themselves ac
cordingly.
There ia a well defined rumor go
ing tha rounds in Atlanta that John.
T. Boifeullet {8 to manage the cam
paign for Judge “Nat” Harris, of
Macon, for the Governorship.
("olone! Boifeulllet and Judge Har
ria are fellow-townsmen, and have
been warm and cordial friends for
many years. The Judge i known
to entertain a very high opinion of
(‘olonel Boifeuillet's political sagac
ity and knowledge, and it is believed
that the popular Clerk of the House
would be an invaluable man as cam
paign manager for his old friend and
fellow citizen,
("olonel Roifeuillet has not stated
what he will 4o in the matter, but
the impression has gained consider
lahla ground that he is to manage the
Harris campaign-—that {s, the Harris
of Macon persuasion.
The Blackshear Times has recefv
ed official and unmistakable avidencs
of the candidacy of only one man for
ths Governorship
The Times says: “The big dallles
tell us that several prominent men
all over the State have announced
for Benator, Governor and varionus
other State offices We know LY
lH:rvltmln 1s in the race hecause he
sent us a check to cover his adver
tisement to that effect.”
Cecil Nelll, a candidate for Rep
resentative from Muscogee County,
has gona on record favoering a change
in the registration laws of Georgla
to the extent that a man he not etm
pelled both to register and cast his
ballot in the district where he re
sldes.
There are a great many of the
business men and others whose places
of business are in C‘olumbus, for in
stance, states Mr. Neill, who reside
in the suburbs, and under the pres
ent registration laws they cannot vota
in the city, but must register and
vote in the district where they re
‘ side,

business men to register in the city,
if they desire, in order that thay may

Makes His Last Appeal
to the Voters of Ful
ton County
MY FELLOW CITIZENS AND VOTERS: .
In making this, my last appeal to you for your
vote on Tuesday for Tax Receiver of Fulton
County, I do so with a deep sense of what it means
in asking you to honor me with your vote.
But I believe that the twenty-eight years of my
life that has beén spent in Fulton County, in honor
able and upright living, entitles me to ask you to
thus honor me. And more esll()ecially when I tell you
that I have never held of asked for an office, either
elective or appointive, before.
And while I am free to admit that it was a selfish
motive that first ?rompted me to make an effort to
secure the office of Tax Receiver, that I might better
the conditions of myself and family, I have made the
fight on the Salary System issue; and in event I
should be elected, the people will receive a far great
er benefit from my success than I will.
For it will mean a victory for the people for
Lower Taxation in Fulton County.
And it will be a rebuke to T. M. Armistead, who
is asking you to re-elect him as Tax Receiver, that
he can not defy and defeat the will of 85 per cent of
the voters; and, in doing so, aid in burdening you
with the highest taxation that has ever heen in }!ul
ton County.
You will also have an opportunity on Tues
day to teach another candidate a valuable lesson—
W. H. Abbott, the Dodger candidate, who is running
hand in hand with the T. M. Armistead & Co. (only
more deceptive); he is opposed to the Salary System,
and is willing that you be burdened with high taxa
tion that he may enjoy the Fifteen Thousand Dol
lars, throu%‘h the Fee System, for serving you three
months as Tax Receiver.
Mr. Taxpayer, there is but one question for you
to decide before casting your ballot on Tuesday for
Tax Receiver: Are you willing to be taxed to pay
T. M. Armistead or W. H. Abbott Fifteen Thou
sand Dollars for serving you three months as Tax
Receiver?
If not, cast your ballot for W. F. Wesley, who
voted for the Salary S!stem, and is willing to serve
at the Four Thousand Dollars—the price fixed by
the people.
And remember, in defeating Mr. Armistead you
have retired him to a fortune that you have given
him through many years in office.
And in defeating W. H. Abbott you have re
turned him to a splendid position that he has held
for many, many years, at a handsome salary, with
the Hon. Arnold Broyles.
And in electing me you will have done one a
favor not so fortunate as either of them.
Thanks for your vote.
Respectful%,
¢ W.F. WESLEY.

Tsn't it somewhat significant that every Grand Jury since

ditions at the County jail, except on two occasions? And it just so
happeried that on these two occasions the reports containing ad

Struck With Cleanliness and
Freshness of Everything
et
(Speclal Story In Atlanta Jour
nal, October 10, 1913.)
The long corridor from the
gateway takes you through an
other door to the rotunda, a
wide open place stretching from
the first floor to the roof. A
stairway winds up to the gal
leries running in a circle on
each floor. ,
“It is remarkably light and
airy in here,’” you think to your
gelf. And indeed, it is, With
all the windows open wide, save
for the barred F‘ating, and that
sfiaclnus spot in the center of
the jall, there is no lack of
fresh air or light.
Ag you are shown through the
various wards you are struck
with the cleanliness and fresh
ness of everything about you.
These narrow cells, these grated
Aoors and windows, surely they
are hard to keep clean, and with
gome of the prisoners on the col
ored side doubly hard to keep
sanitary, yet not once does a
foul odor or hint of dirt or
glime offend you.
The top floor is by far the
most interesting in the build
ing. Here are located the
kitchen, the Federal prisoners,
the condemned cell and the
death chamber.
The room is very small and
very veliow. Ths only two win
dows in it are covered with
glazed glass and the light fil
fers through in a mellow glow.
It seems to be always sunset
there.
- As one leaves the Tower he
hind him one thought strikes
him-—that it has the cleanest
and most undesirable living
rooms he has seen in some
time.
« Your last fhought may bé of
the little cells—perhaps it may
be of the vellow room on the
top floor, perhaps you will bear
in mind the only picture in the
building. It is on the first floor,
a vivid chromo showing an ark
making bad going of it through
a heavy sea. Big letters say,
“The flood:" smaller ones, ‘““The
wages of sin is death.”
Perhaps the ‘‘only picture”
hae no significance, for most of
those who have sinned and
gone to the Tower have found
something other than death.
Tl:‘:‘y have found & firm yet
kindly jailer, new courage from
some who see them thers, new
jessons in fortitude from those
around them.

VIENNA, May 4-—Although the rest
of Pmperor Francls Joseph, who has
been ill for several weekg, was ais-
| The underdgned, being the immediate neighbors of
L. 0. Wright, in I‘lgnantly resent certain rumors that are
circulated by W. M. Mayo or his deputies. They have persiste
in saying that Mr. Wright was going to withdraw from the
for Sheriff, and that he was running in the interest of Sh
Mangum, notwithstanding Mr. Wrigit’s denial, and the den
of his deputies, his friends, and everyone connected with
campaign.
Now, we brand as false all these rumors, and charge Ca;
Mayo or his deputies with circulating these rumors when the
know them to be false. We do not believe the people of thi
county will support any man, or set of men, for the responsibl
office of Sheriff who are guilty of such deliberate misrepresen
tion. WE KNOW THAT MR. WRIGHT IS A HIGH-TONE

and when they sent up a dainty
dish about 6 p. m. the strike
was over.
