Atlanta based J R Smith, once campaign manager for Joseph M Bristol, releases a strong public critique of Governor Slaton. He cites house and senate journals to accuse Slaton of dodging issues and to compare his conduct with Senator Bacon’s legacy, alleging pact breaches and misuse of appointing and pardoning powers. The column contends Slaton’s twenty year record harms his Senate bid, urging readers to weigh his actions on convict leasing and tax collection against his stated contracts with the people.
