Ohio Governor, Favorite of the
Old Line Democrats, Visits
Great Corn Show.
mS MET BY COMMITTEES
Parade of Young Corn Growers
and Address of the Ohioan
Features of Day.
Governor Judson Harmon has quite
,n Inviting personality; so much so.
In fact, that when ho arrived at tha
piedmont hotel at 1 o’clock Wednesday
inch a crowd surged around to meet
him that he had no time to give out an
Interview. Many were Introduced to
the distinguished visitor by members of
the entertainment committee, but num
bers who were standing near rushed up
and shook his hand when they saw his
kindly smile, without waiting on for
mality.
He is large and prepossessing In ap
pearance, but has none of that oppres
sive dignity that holds people at a dis
tance. When he was posing for a pic
ture at the Terminal station ho Insisted
In a most friendly way that all the re
ception committee come and stand with
him. On the train he met a number of
Ohioans, and before he got off In At
lanta he went round and told them all
good-bye. i
When the reporters could get In a
few questions about politics between
handshakes with the many who were
making such an aggressive effort to
meet him, there was not so ready a re
sponse. The character that has such
an appeal for tho old-line Democrats
asserted Itself. He was asked what ho
thought of tho Democratic chances In
1912.
Looks Good in 1912,
With a kindly smile he said: "They
are good. Aren’t-they?” ...
Then some ono handed him a batch
Of telegrams And he stepped aside to-
read them. But a new line of men and
women quickly formed, as eager as tho
others to meet him. He turned to the
reporters again In a few moments.
“lVc Democrats are opposed to me
nopoly,“ he said. "We have given up
our monopoly of Internal quarrels and
wrangles and given It to the Republl
cans.”
Then tho recaption-committee Insist
ed that It was lunch time.
"I’m sorry, boys,’* ho called hack to
the reportew. ’’But I don’t know much,
anyway.” i
Atlantans Meet Him,
Governor Harmon came In over tho
Southern tit 13:45. A party of Atlan
tans, among whom wero Colonel F. J.
paxon, Hugh Richardson, Burton Smith
and a number of others, went up to
Rockmart to meet him. At tho Termi
nal station Moll It. Wilkinson, Walter
15. Cooper, Walter P. Andrews, Asa G.
Candler, Mayor Winn, G. W. Hanson
and Walter T. Candler wero present to
join tho escort to the Piedmont hotel.
Govct nor Harmon walked out "between
Colonel Paxon and Mayor Winn and In
automobiles they hurried to tho hotel
lor a luncheon, at which a number of
prominent Atlantans were present.
At 3 o’clock the governor Joined In
the eorn show parade thru the city to
the Auditorium. There he was Intro
duced by Governor John M. Slaton for
his address.
Publio Reception at Club,
from 5:30 to 6:30 o’clock tho Young
Men’s Democratic league will give a
public reception to Governor Harmon,
when all who wish will have tho privi
lege of shaking his hand. At night at
* o’clock ho will be entertained at a
reception at the University club.
rt was expected that Governor Har
mon would leave Wednesday night, but
he said Wednesday that he would stay
ever until Thursday morning at 11
o’clock. It has been suggested that the
bar association give him a breakfast
Thursday morning. He told of his ln-
tercet In battlefields to the Atlantans
"n the train with him and he will be
mown these historic places around At
lanta.
POPE Will Carry 85 to 95 Counties
The following statement was issued Wednesday by Pope Brown's cam
paign manager:
“All elections are uncertain and In some thero Is no basis of facts upon
which one can build an estimate of the result. This is not the case, how
ever, In the present gubernatorial campaign, because certain well-defined
conditions are known to exist In connection with the Issues involved. The
first condition Is that the voters of Georgia have twice indorsed ‘progres
sive Democracy/ of which Pope Brown is the avowed candidate. The pro
hibition question, which is one of the main is sum in the campaign, had been
carried by 123 counties before the statewide law went Into effect, by large
majorities in nearly all these counties. This shows that the great majority
of the people of Georgia favor prohibition, and Inasmuch as Pope Brown
is the only candidate who stands for prohibition. It Is certain that he will
receive nearly all of this vote. Based upon the two foregoing conditions, I
predict Pope Brown will certainly carry between 85 and 95 counties.
“VOLNBT' WILLIAMS. Campaign Manager.**
Bigger Vote For DICK Than Both Browns
James B. Nevln, Judge VL B. Russell's campaign manager, gave out the
following final statement Wednesdays
“I believe that Judge Richard B. Russell will be nominated foe governor
tomorrow by a vote exceeding that of both of his adversaries combined. We
are absolutely ready to go to the ballot.box.
“Judge Russell’s case had been fully made out before the people of
Georgia, and wo await with supreme confidence their verdict.
“Judge Russell will receive a% an approximate w'hole the local option
vote of tho state of Georgia, and that is sufficient to elect him. The state
wide prohibition vote likely will bo divided between the two Browns, as
it does not seem probable that either will be able to convince all the pro
hibitionists that he alone Is tho real ‘Simon Pure* prohibition article.
“It is my deliberate opinion that Judge Russell will sweep tl^e state of
Georgia tomorrow from Rabun Gap to Tybee Light.”
More Than 90,000 Votes Behind JOE
The following statement was Issued from Joe Brown headquarters on
Wednesday: *
“We are making no predictions, except that Governor Brown Is certain
of election. Thoso who want something more tangible are referred to the
analysis of the situation as made by James L. Anderson, the leading political
expert in Georgia, who has managed four gubernatorial campaigns and has
always opposed Governor Brown.
“We trust our friends will not be caught, as once before, by overcon
fidence. We hope every one of them will vote, and vote early.
“We go Into the primary more than 90,000 votes strong.”

Hold-Ups and Burglaries All
Over the City Occur Daily,
and Nobody Goes to Jail.
MORE MEN, SAYS BEAVERS
Grocer Wounded and Another
Robbed—West End Scene of
Two Burglaries.
Highwaymen had their Inning Tues
day night In Atlanta’s series of bur
glaries and robberies, figuring In three
hold-ups with pistols and the wounding
of ono of the victims. The robberies
were committed by three negroes, be
lieved by tho police to have been the
same trio In each instance.
Altho hold-up men were featured as
the headliners In the night’s crime,
burglars were also In evidence, working
Just enough to let the people and the
police know they are still on the job.
Sam Brodkin, a grocer at 236 Mc-
Danlel-st„ was shot In the shoulder
and painfully wounded by the high
waymen while he was being held up
in his store about 9:30 o’clock. Just
as the three negroes walked Into the
store and commanded the merchant to
throw up his hands—which he did
Ithout hesitation when two revolvers
were shoved close to his face—Mrs.
Brodkin stepped Into tho store, and,
realizing what was taking place, be
gan to scream frantically.
Excited by the screams, one of the
highwaymen fired, the bullet striking
Brodkin in the shoulder. At this the
trio of robbers bolted from the store
and escaped.
Just prior to this affair, three negroes
held up and robbed another merchant,
Samuel Krasner, In his store at 54
Vine-st. While two of the highway
men kept Krasner thoroughly covered
with revolvers the third man rifled the
cash register and also Krasner's pock-
CofftinuMft on Last Pago.

600 BANKERS WEATHER
FIERCE STORM AT SEA
Fears Felt for Their Safety;
Until a Wireless Message
Located Them. ,
N*w Orlaans, Dec. 6.—For a while
today great anxiety was felt for the ,
600 bankers, member* of tho American
Bankers association, who have been i
on a cruise and were caught In a don n
hurricane which raged over the Car-
rlbean sea and Gulf of Mexico, but
shortly before noon wireless communi
cation was restored with them and all
fears *et to rest. Messages from the
three vessel* stated that the ship* had
encountered the storm, but had weath
ered It without an accident.
For a while all efforts to get In touch
with the steamers by wireless failed
and tho belief was expressed tha(..tb*‘ '
terrific wind had swept away the wire
less masts on board tho vessels.
For fifteen hours last night and to
day all the wireles operators along
the coast attempted to get In commu
nication with the threo boats, but with
out success until shortly before noon.
Tho stations had been warned to
keep a strict watch for all “S. Q. S.’*
calls of distress and report them Im
mediately to the nearest government
patrol station, so that revenue cutters
can be sent at full speed.
All of the bankers were accompanied
by members of their families.
They left here for a cruise along the
Central American coast after the an
nual convention of tho American Bank
ers association had ended. Reports
from points along the Carribean sea
and the Gulf of Mexico state that the
hurricane which fs now raging is one
of terrific violence and that It is caus
ing much havoc to shipping.
