The Jonesboro News
While in Jonesboro on last Saturday, the popular Riverdale citizen consented to 
talk a little for The News.
He expressed himself as believing that the most important piece of legislation 
right now was to make the income of the state sufficient to meet the 
expenditures.
He is not in favor of cutting the appropriation for the schools of the deaf, 
dumb and blind, nor of the sanitarium at Milledgeville.
He believes it is necessary, as well as right, to make some provision to pay 
the school teachers of the state monthly, and is in favor of a constitutional 
amendment to assess and collect a special school tax.
He favors a perpetual registration law with certain requirements, but is not in 
favor of change of time required to be in a county from six months to thirty 
days to be entitled to vote.
While he is strictly a ladies man, and always considers them with the greatest 
honor and respect, he does not believe in adding to their already heavy 
responsibilities the "privilege" to vote. 
He is against the promiscuous appointing of commissioners to investigate the 
various state institutions, except where there is specific charge of 
irregularities.
He is investigating the possibility of getting Clayton county placed back in 
the 5th congressional district, and will do all in his power to accomplish this 
result.
He favors the passing of a law that will prevent the carrying of pistols.
He is opposed to any measures that will place the military above the civil laws 
of the state.
Is in favor of the extension of the state road to deep water.
Will oppose the kindergarten measures.
