Shall the Farmers ot Georgia
Again Be Cheated Out of Their
Choice For Commissioner
of Agriculture?
-Gilreath Press Syndicate” is (lie name
of an Atlanta dope factory that sends out
alleged news matter to the innocent rural
roosters of bucolic journalism.
The weekly output of the Gilreath Syndi
cate looks virtuously non-partisan until it
switches in a paragraph against some man
who does not run with the Corporation gang.
Its fling at Guyt McLendon, candidate for
Railroad Commissioner against Paul Tram
mell, probably cost Paul some spot-cash out
lay. Paid runs with the Northern corpora
tion gang which seeks to rule the country.
But the Gilreath patriots seem to have a
fondness for Jim Price, the more or less sober
recipient of the Macon Convention steal of
1912.
Here is the Gilreath dope on Jim:
-Atlanta,' Ga. —There is at least one political
race this year which seems won before election
day, and that is “Farmer Jim’’ Price’s campaign
for re-election as Commissioner of Agriculture.
His friends are pointing out that he is a real
farmer and a real Democrat, whereas his oppo
nent, J. J. Brown, was a guano agent, and a Wat
sonite. Brown has the endorsement of Tom Wat
son, and in the memorable campaign when Joseph
M. Brown was defeated and then ran as an inde
pendent, J. J. Brown cast his vote for him. His
record in this matter has done a great deal to
injure what chances Brown had.

It there are two men whose antecedents are
personally known to me, those two are Jim
Price and J. J. Brown.
The Prices of Oconee County have been
landlords and social from of old.
