GOMPERS MAKES A PLEA TO DEFEAT LABOR'S FOES By Private Leased Wire. Washington, Jane JS.—In the American Federatlonfst for July, out today, Presi dent Oompers makes a strong appeal to members of the American Federation of Labor to act for the Interests of labor In favoring congressmen at the coming elec- dons. The article says. In part: "The wage earners should by all means defent those who have been hostile or In- different to the demands of labor. Their best efforts should bo concentrated In that direction. "Wherever possible labor should elect Its own meat see to It that they are nomi nated and elected. Wisdom forbids the nomination of any one In opposition In a district where a man has shown himself to be a true friend of labor and In accord with its alms and purposes, and thereby allow a well known oppouent to slip In. Ih» not accept the mere pretended offers of friendship as a sufficient guarantee to command labor's confidence and support. Only, those should be conuted friends who, by their roitrae, have shown that their friendship Is not merely mouthed, but Is real nud genuine. "Let ua all along the line administer a stinging rebuke and defeat to men of all parties who are Indifferent, negligent or hostile to labor's cause. ' "Maintain our unions absolute and fnlthfnl to them, and In this our present contest exert every energy that the pol troon politicians may learn for nil time that their day of pernicious political hoatlllty haa come to an end."

TICKETS AT EDMOND SON’S DRUG STORE, 14 S. BROAD ST. 50 AND 75c. By Private Leased Wire. Panama, June 25.—In the elections yesterday the Constitutional party was victorious In Panama City and the provinces of Code, Veragua and Chlr- qulx. The elections were orderly with the exception of a few fights, which were without aerlou* result*, until late In the. afternoon, when a clash took place between Liberal* and policemen, who were protecting ballot boxes at Santa Ana park. Nine policemen and Jose Antonio Paredee, a member of one of the beet families In Panama, were badly wounded, and one Liberal was killed. Forty armed policemen restored order, but It le believed eerious fighting may take place tonight unless marines are landed from the United States cruiser Marblehead. Governor Msgoon and Captain George R. Shanton, chief of police In the canal zone, were prominent at all places during the day and their pres ence doubtless prevented much trouble. GENERAL HUGUENIN ASKS TORE RETIRED HE REQUE8TS THI8 ACTION BE CAUSE OF FAILURE OF HI8 HEALTH. JOINT DEBATE IN ROME PROVES EVEN BREAK Continued from Pag* One. vented the theater front becoming un bearable. The heat had a curloua ef fect on the two speakers. Mr. Howell, small of stature, anpeared cool throughout. Mr. Smith, ponderous and Ileshy, was a dripping fount of perspi ration. Shining rivulets coursed down Ills face and. unchecked, melted the collar quickly Into pulpy softness. But hs didn't seem to mind. At the conclusion of Mr. Howell's opening speech, Mr. Smith came for ward as though he held within him the grim purpose of annihilation. His groat voice rolled to every port of the build ing, and brought his admirers to their feet In a tempest of waving hats and handkerchiefs and a raucous thunder of yells. Mr. Smith's reading of the Howell letter to Wateon brought the usual laughter and catcalls. In comment he said: "It looks like Clark sought Watson's support and didn't get It; that I didn't seek It and did get It. And I am not ashamed to hove It." Somehow that statement did not meet with any whirlwind of enthusiastic approval. Offers to Bet. Several times In refutation of asxer- tlons made by Mr. Howell, Mr. Smith made offers to prove hi* Incorrectness by putting up from 2500 to 21,000, the loser to pay over the amount to bliss Berry's school. Four such propositions were , made by Mr. Smith. A Roman commented afterwards: "The only p-Jistble good I can .aee out of the debate was lost when those fellows wouldn't put up the velvet, so Mies Berry could get a financial lift for her school." Mr. Howell accepted Mr. Smith' wager proposition In reference to hie statement of condition! that would pre vail In North Carolina when the die franchlsement law went Into effect. When he arose to conclude, after wait ing patiently for the applauae to sub side, he presented Smith with a written agreement. A breathless hush fell over the house as Mr. Smith perused It, wrote some thing and then arose and said he would accept It If Mr. Howell would allow his amendment to go In It. If Air. Smith was not worrletbby the thrownlngdown of the gauntlet, then human bearing never Indicated 1L Howell Applause RegnsnL For an Instant the audience sat In profound silence, then like a tornado boomed out a tumult of cries and com ments. Mr. Smith hesitated and sank Into his seat, while the Howell folks literally drowned out the efforts of the Smith people to back up tbelr man. It waa five minutes befors Mr. Howell could resume. Mr. Howell had many things he evi dently wanted to say In that concluding halt hour, but he rushed from Issue to Issue In his eagerness to answer the charges of his adversary. And as some one yelled, "What about those nigger appointments?" Colonel T. W. Alexan der, presiding officer, announced that the time had expired. Then a stream of frantic humanity raced across the stage and bore the candidates from the building In mad enthusiasm. Calmly summarized, Mr. Howell made the best Impression In Rome he has made yeL As The Georgian stated Sat urday, It any slight shade of eentlment marked the crowd for either. It would go to Mr. Smith, but It waa so In tangible It would be difficult to prove a positive assertion. But you can . get bets at odds In Rome that Mr. Smith will carry Floyd county. Only August 22 will finally determine the accuracy of that. Hpedal to The Georgian. Macon, Ga., June 26.—General E. D. Huguenln. for yean connected with the Georgia militia, and at present brig adier general of the national guard of Georgia and commanding the Second regiment, has sentarequest to the ad jutant general that he be placed on the retired list of officers.

Fourteen persons were Injured, one seriously. Mrs. Mary Boganup, 54 years of age, of Chicago, received a serious wrench of the back and right knee. THE PROPOSITION TO BET. AND HOW IT HAPPENED. Quite the feature of the Rome debate In the point of Interest aroused among the audience was the tilt as to tho North Carolina disfranchisement law and the proposition Mr. Smith made to bet on It. Here Is the way It hap pened, according to the stenographic report; In his first speoch Mr, Howell said this; 'They tell you that North Carolina has acted and has adopted the grand father clause which will protect the Illiterate white voters In that state, and ret they do not tell you that that clauso • declared to be Inoperative and goes out of existence January 1, 1208, a year and a half from this time, at which time nobody will be entitled to register and vote unless educationally qualified under the terms of the North Carolina law." In his speech Mr. Smith raid; “The North Carolina law does not, two years from now, require all men to stand the teat of voting upon their edu cational capacity.- It does nothing of the sort. You are entirely mistaken, sir! If you will agree, when you rise to make ynur concluding argument, to put up 21.000 aa a present to Miss Ber ry's school If you are right, I will put up 21.000 for tbe same purpose If I am wrong. (Prolonged applause.) Mr. Howell stated thst next year all the voters of North Carolina who were registered would be tested by the edu cational qualification, and that they have to stand It to.be registered and that as the result thousands of men, now voters, would be disqualified. That was his statement 'I ray It you will bark that statement with 21,000 for Mira Berry's school, I will back mine with 21.000. (Applause.) At the conclusion of his speech, Mr. Howell stepped forward and read the following paper, which he had written during Mr. Smith's speech: "If after January 1, 1302, North Car olina does not pass to an educational qualification pure and simple, disfran chising all, whites and blacka alike, after that day, unless they are educa tionally qualified, then I agree to do nate to Miss Berry’s school 21,000, If Mr. 8mlth agrees to donate the some It the statement Is Incorrect." >fr. Smith took the paper, read It over and then said; "I want to add one line to this, and that Is, This' applies to all who have registered before 1202.’ ” '‘But I never made any such state ment," shouted Mr. Howell, “and that was not your original proposition. What I said waa that North Carolina's fran chise law becomes operative January 1, 1202, Insofar as It affects registra tion, and the voting following all regis tration after January 1, 1301." Mr. Smith shook hie head to signify that he would not agree to sign ths paper. EXCESSIVE RAIN CROPJRIOUSLY CommissionerHudson Brings Gloomy Re port From So. Ga.

POPE BROWN. More Candidates Pay. Secretary C. N. Allen, of the city executive committee, haa received two more entries for the city primary of August 22. Dr. A. L. Curtis, now In council, has paid the fee for his can didacy for alderman from the first ward. H. M. Beutell has also paid the fee, and Intends to gtve any opposi tion in tbe fifth a red-hot aldermanlc race. Those who, paid previous to the above-mentioned are M. T. LaHatte, In the aldermanlc race from the first ward, and E. T. Payne for city Us collector. To tbe Editor of The Georgian: In an Interview with Hon. J. Pope Brown, published In Wednesday's Is sue of The Atlanta Journal, It Is stated that "he was asked about the charge of the Hon. Warner Hill against him self that he voted against the ‘port rates’ when he was not a candidate for governor, and voted for them when he i." And Mr. Brown Is quoted as raying: "Mr. Hill It mlstaksn about that—I am here at tbe capltot now for the purpose of getting the record on that subject. I have It In my pocket. It shows that I voted for ths port rats In the summer of 1304, which was long before I became s candidate and really the reverse of Mr. Hill's proposition Is more nearly correct, for I should say that I voted for the port rate when I was not a candidate,-and did not vote for It'when I was a candidate. But I do not care to take advantage of any technicality," etc. Mr. Brown, from the above, would leave the Impression thst he never voted against the port rate. But the files of the office of the railroad com mission ehow thst on ths 17th day of April, 1202, the commission os a whole voted against the port rats, as will be keen by the following extract from the files In that office: "The conclusion of the commission Is that the circumstances do not require nor Justify It to order a reduction In rates from Atlanta to Savannah and Brunswick. • • * The petition 1% therefore, dismissed." “I hereby certify that the foregoing Is a correct extract from the files of the railroad commission in the 'port rata’ case.—Gao. F. Montgomery, Sec.” Mr. Brown was a member of the com mission at thst time. I was not. The decision was unanimous, hence he voted against ths port rat* on the 17th day of April, 1242. This was before he had turned as a candidate for governor. The port rate ngnln came before the commission for It* decision on the lath day bf July, 1904, when he voted for It; and It came up for decision the third time on May 10, 1905, on an amended motion of the Atlanta freight bureau, when Mr. Brown was a full-fledged candidate for governor, and he then voted for the port rate. I have shown by the files In Ih* of fice of the railroad commission that on the 17th day of April, 1203, Mr. Brown voted against the nort rate. I have shown that on the lith day of July. 1104, and on the 10th day of May, 1906, he voted for the port rate. Now, then, was ha a candidate for governor when he voted for It? He says he does not want to stand on a technicality. Prob ably he had not formally announced for governor In 1904, when he voted for the port rate, but he certainly was a candidate for governor when he voted tor It on May 10, 1901, because In The Atlanta Journal of June 4, 1905, he has a tettar, dated Hawklnsvllle, May II, 1905, withdrawing from the race. And even the vote In July, 1904, was but a few months before his formal entry Into the race. In his above tatter of withdrawal he said: "Before consenting to make the race . sent o|u a letter of Inquiry to a num ber of people In every county to learn tha public sentiment, as far as possl- ■>ta." He had. thsrsfore, rant out his feelers," which ante-dated probably by ■ome months his format announct- msnt, and to all Intents and purposes he was a candidate. He was so re garded by hi* friends. Ha had avsn contemplated running, according to the newspapers, four years previously, when Oovemor Terrell and others were candidates. I think It I* perfectly clear, therefore, from the records thst Mr. Brown votsd ones against the port rat* when he ass not a candidate, and once for the port rate when he was a can didate—aa stated In my letter, and to which Mr. Brown objects. But the main qusstlon Is, did ha vots both against the port rate and for the port rate? The files of tha office of the railroad commission show that he did both. So It will be clearly seen that 1 was not "mistaken,” as stated by Mr. Brown. Now, Just a word aa to why I alluded all to Mr. Brown In my letter to the ws on the l(th instant. Mr. Smith, candidate for governor, had made a speech In which he said that Hon. Pope Brown had voted for the people In voting for the port rate, and that Hon. Joseph M. Brown and myself had voted against tha people In voting against the port rate. Thta I denied and ■till deny. And I asked the ques tion whether Hon. Pope Brown was right when he veted for the port rate waa he right when he voted agalnet It? To be perfectly frank, there wae an other reason I alluded to Mr. Brown. made a speech at Perry a few week* ago for his friend, Hoke Hmlth. which he bad a perfect right to do. but In dlecueslng hie motion to reduce the passenger fare from 3 to 2 cente per mile ha raid that one member of (he commission gava as a reason for vot- against It that "ths people did not want IL" That' waa a gross mtsrepre- LET THE GEORGIAN Follow You on Your Vacation Trip.
