Chattanooga, Tonn,, Oot, 26*—Chatta
nooga will aoon have a Woodrow Wil
ton club, and that the organization will
be a rousing one to promote the inter
ests of the present governor of New
Jersey, who ia proposed for the nomi
nation as standard-bearer for the
united Democratic party next fall, is
assured.
Leading Democrats of Hamilton
county will have charge of tho organi
sation of this club. It is their pur
pose to make It one of the best wires
bearing "Wilson presidential electrici
ty” In the entire country. Local Demo
crats are almost universal In their be

ical candidate for the presidential chair
and next occupant of the white house.
Recently, there was organized In
Nashville a Tennessee Woodrow Wil

of Chattanooga's leading lawyers and
staunch Democrats, was placed as a
member of the erpcuttve committee.
The state club was Inaugurated upon
the Initiative of tho promoters, and
not In response to any request what
ever on the part of the Wilson cam

The object, when the Chattanooga

mocracy In Hamilton county, and to
at least Insure a majority, vote for the
New Jersey man In this district.

New York, Oct. 27.—Swept by
storm of selling orders as the result of
the government's suit to dissolve the
United States Steel Corporation, more
than 163,000,000 was stricken from the
market value of the company's com
mon and preferred stock In two hours
of trading on the stock exchange today.
Frenzy swayed the brokers on the floor
of the exchange and tbs scene was like
that during a panic, as the howling
brokers stormed the crowd about the
steel post In the endeavor to execute
the commissions that were flooding
them from all parts of the country.
The course of tho London market
gave warning hours before tho ex
change opened here of what was In
store. Steel common opened In Lon
don at 59 and then sold off until It
was seven points below yesterday's
close there.
The opening here was at 55, or 31-2
under yesterday's Anal prices, while tho
first transaction In the preferred was
at 104 1-2, a drop of 5 1-8.
The stock came out by big blocks In
a continuous stream, and under the Im
pact, prices broko again and again |
until, by. noon the common had sold
down to 513-3, and the preferred, which
closed yesterday at 103 3-8, to 108 1-2,
Apparent attempts to stem the down
ward trend by the placing of underly
ing orders by the financial Interests
met with but little success. The tide
was stemmed at short periods, but the
support invariably proved unequal to
the pressure and down would go quo
tations for a new low point.
Sympathetically all the rest of the
market suffered keenly from the gen
eral attack on steel, and losses ranging
from 1 to 2 points were sustained by
nearly all tho railroads and many of the
specialties. The heaviest forenoon loss
outside of the steel Issues fell upon In
ternational Harvester, which broke 3 1-2
points.
Heavy covering of shorts was In evi
dence, but this demand was swamped
by the selling of the public and the
placing of vaat volumes of further short
contracts by professional traders.
Europe was a heavy seller of the
American market also. Arbitrage
brokers estimated that 70,000 shares,
chiefly In Union Pacific, Amalgamated
Copper and Steel common, were sold by
foreign Interest* on the strength of the
general break here.

Sweeping Anti-Trust Action.
This suit, which Is the most sweeping
anti-trust action ever instituted by the
department of Justice, la the result of
more than three years Investigation
conducted by special agents of the gov
ernment The department of justice
stated that the evidence It gathered
had been supplemented by testimony
given before the Stanley committee of
tha house of representatives. So vast

thru Its great holdings scattered
throughout the United States and be
cause of the tremendous scattering of
its stock and bond holders In this conn

strikingly sensational, teem throughout

It la accepted as certain that the big
battle will he waged by former Secre

been felt all along by those conversant
with the government’s plan that Mr.
Wlckersham would take little . more

Milwaukee. W'*., Oct, 27. -President
Taft Is Impressed with the friendly
spirit manifested toward him by Insur.
gent Milwaukee. While, the president
entering the LeFolfette battle
ground had expected to be received
with aqme frigidity, the cordial atti
tude of the throngs ho* been marked.
It was th* same here today as It waa
yesterday In his Jaunt thru the state.
Good sized crowds saluted him as he
rode along In an automobile. Every
where a hearty welcome woe extended
him. "This spirit touches me,” re--
marked the president this morning. "I
am more than pleased over the trip Into
Milwaukee.”
Insurgent leaders are not a little
puzzled over the big turn-out that
greeted the president yesterday. They
had counted on a mere sprinkling of
people, but not the great crowds that
met him at every point.
Interest was aroused here today over
the presence In the state of Governor
Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, pros,
pectlve candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination. The governor
spoke last night at Madison on political
Issues and was acclaimed by his Demo
cratic hosts as the next president of
the United States.
Governor Wilson has been making a
telling Impression everywhere he has
gone and In this state there Is a strong
belief that If he gets the Democratic
nomination ha will give President Taft
a hard run, with a good chance of Wil
son being elected. Governor Wilson
has been telling progressive Ideas In
government here, saying the state has
taken the lead, while Taft has stuck to
his "middle-of-the-road” policy.
At the meeting where Wilson spoke
last night the crowd set up a wild yell
when the chairman announced that
Wisconsin had within Its borders “the
president of the United States and the
next president.”
Mr. Taft had an active day of IJ In
Milwaukee today. He started, on an
auto tour of the cltv after breakfast to
stop at various schools and colleges. A?
noon he was the guest at a luncheon of
the city's workers at the auditorium.
When President Taft and his party
entsred the doors of the Milwaukee
Press club last night the automobile
which contained his escort. Mayor Emil
Seidel, the Socialistic executive, and
Congressman Victor L. Berger and two
other Socialists, did not stop but hur
ried on, and the Socialist city officials
were taken to their homea while Taft
was the guest of the Press club.
Today the explanation was made
public. When Colonel Roosevelt wss the
guest of the Press club last year Mayor
Seidel refused to serve on the recep
tion committee. This was the famous
snub administered to the former presi
dent by the Socialist official. This year
when the plans were made by tha
Press club for the reception of. the
president. It was decided not to ask
the mayor to serve on the committee,
tho h« Is an honorary member of the
club. This membership was nearly
revoked last year when the snub of
Roosevelt was administered, but from
then on Seidel was under the club 1
CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT
MAY YETBEREGISTERED
Stovall Thinks Special Election
in January Would Be Good
Time for Vote.
Pleasant A. Stovall, of Savannah,
member of the state executive commit
tee, who Introduced a resolution pro
viding for an expression of the choice
In Georgia for Democratic presidential
nominee In 1912 at the December
primary, still secs hope for such an ex
pression of the popular will, despite the
fact that the etate committee tabled
his resolution until December 12.
Mr. Stovall thinks the stato commit
tee can call a primary to submit this
question at practically no c-jst on
date of the special state election In Jan
uary to name the new governor'offi
cially. That will be a month nearer the
tlmo for the national convention, and
a month after congrees will hare con
vened, so that the political alignments
over the country will be more clearly
defined, and the people will be more
nearly prepared to exprees their opin
ion. Mr. Stovall remained In Atlanta
until Friday afternoon, when he went
to Athene for a brief visit before re
turning to Savannah.

If the three candidate* for governor
have sny serious objection to the gu
bernatorial primary plan promulgated
by the state Democratic executive com
mittee on Thursday, they and their
managers are keeping It to themaelrca.
The nearest approach to a kick comes
from the Joe Brown headquarters,
where J, R. Smith, the manager, de
plores the elimination of a nominating
convention to follow the primary elec
tion.
Mr. Smith and ex-Governor Brown
were at the headquarters St 10 o’clock
Friday morning, the former governor
spending the first hour of his stay there
reading and studying closely the pub-
fished plan for the December 7 elec
tion. He was not ready to give an
opinion on It. However, Mr. Smith
talked of it a hit. He thought the usual
convention should have been provided.
He had no complaint on the county unit
and plurality vote features. Mr. Smith
preferred to let Governor Brown say
whatever might be said as to the com
mittee's rejection of his proposal to
submit the liquor question.
Judge R. B. Russell wss found In hi*
headquarters at the Kimball house,
where he gave expression to his view of
the primacy plan in this wise:
'T offered no plan and made no sug
gestion to the executive committee as
to how the primary should be conduct
ed. I am a Democrat and being one
accept the committee’s plan as a Dem
ocrat should. I shall abide by Its pro
visions In every respect.”
Volney Williams, campaign manager
for Pope Brown, said the plan suited his
candidate.
"I studied for four weeks over this
question/’ said Mr. Williams, “and I
could not satisfy my own mind a* to
just what plan would be best. The one
the committee has put forth Is as good
as sny, as far as I can see. The coun
ty unit feature In one respect has Us
disadvantages In that the whisky peo
ple can go Into some of the small
counties where the vote will be close
and buy up enough to swing them. On
the other hand, the unit plan has Its ad.
vantages, as by the popular vote plan
the liquor pluralities In some of the big
counties, like Chatham, would overcome
prohibition votes Ip the small counties.”

After the heating of the excuses was
ended, Darrow presented Gore to tho
attorneys In the case and to Judge
Bordwell. The excuses offered by the
new veniremen covered the usual
course. Two men were excused for
defective hearing. On*, John Collvsn.

failed to answer to bis nogne at roll call
the Judge called Collvan up and asked
him If he was hard of hearing. '
Veniremen Couldn’t Hear.
To the various repetitions of the
questions startling information was
drawn forth.
'Are you hard of hearing?" asked the
Judge.
"I am not a cltlsen/’ was the reply.
"Is your hearing defective?" insisted
the judge. ,
"I have taken out my first papers, but
not my second yet."
He was excused and It took three
bailiffs in unison to convey the Infor

The other excuses were from men
who wished to avoid service because of
ill health or for business reasons.
