Slaton Will Press Senate Duty Over Campaign Plans
The third gubernatorial candidate entry will not alter John M. Slaton’s course. He declines a joint debate with Hon Hooper Alexander, citing duty as presiding officer of the state senate. Slaton remains focused on legislation as the legislature enters a busy closing phase and foresees limited time for campaigning. He supports curbing appropriations, a businesslike handling of public funds, preservation of the Western and Atlantic railroad, and careful use of pardons, while opposing increased state indebtedness and broad campaign tours. Strong local sentiment favors Slaton across many counties, with supporters predicting large margins in his favor.
