June 24 Theodore Rooee relt planned to leave for Oyster Bay today where he announced he would seek some rest and then take up the work V? tlst non-partisan political body which fcq_wiil lead. •wwncr Johnson, of California, who has been selected chairman of the new organization. prepared to leave for his home. Governor Johnson was authorised Co appoint a committee of seven to draw up a plan for permanent organization, but he announced that his appointments would not be made public for several days It is not believed that any members of this committee has been definitely decided on. as it was the opinion of I Colonel Rooseevlt that owing to the mul titude of complexities entering into the formation of the new party several days of close study would be required, it be ing desired to give the Democrats and Republicans, if they are true progres sives. representation on the committee. Judge B. B. Lindsey, of Denver, an nounced that he would probably go to Baltimore during the Democratic con vention to study the situation there, and sound Democratic leaders regarding the new party. It was said early today that the city in which the national convention .of the new party will be held might be de fl- ‘ nltely announced before the departure of' Mr. Roosevelt. . Roosevelt leaders had informal con feernces with their chief today.' No' statements of the new party’s plans were given out before the colonel set out for Oyster Bay this afternoon.

He was followed by Mr. Browne, of Vermont, who favored Parker. MACK HOLDS FIRM As the discussion of the temporary chairman*hip progressed reports were current that the majority of the com mitteemen were determined not to yield to any compromise. Chairman Mack Was among those who steadfastly main tained that the selection of Judge Par ker by the subcommittee would be rati fied by the full committee and that he would be chosen by the convention, even If a fight should be precipitated by the Bryan forces. Martin J. Wade, national committee man from lowa, left the meeting for a few minutes early in the afternoon to confer with delegates and before re turning remarked that it looked “like S fight.” He said however, that friends of Mr. Bryan and the progressive cause were counseling harmony for the good of the party. The situation presented before the committie promised to as sure a long session and a vote on the temporary' chairmanship was not ex pected until late in the day. During the morning the friends of Governor Wilson renewed their over tures to the leaders of the movement for Speaker Champ Clark to agree upon a progressive candidate for temporary chairman to oppose Judge Parker. At the beadquarters of Governor Wilson It was said that any progressive would do. , The Mfilson and Bry an leaders open ly declared that they had made repeat ed efforts to join with the Clark peo ple upon a progressive man tor tem porary chairman, but that the Clark leaders were non-commital. This, the Wilson managers said, indicated that the Clark people were trying to con ceal their hands and would be found Voting for Judge Parker. COMBINING ON JAMES It was still undecided this morning what candidate the Wilson forces would present, but Josephus Daniela national committeeman from North Carolina, served notice that he intended to put forward the name of Senator-elect Ollie James, of Kentucky. “I shall put Mr. James' name before the convention.” said Mr. Daniels this morning. "While he is a Clark man and was the Clark candidate for tem porary chairman before the arrange ment committee, and though I am a strong Wilson mail and would nat urally prefer a man with leanings to ward the New Jersey governor. I think Mr. James would be fair to all. There is no reason why the Clark folks can not vote for Mr, James unless they are committed to someone else.

It was a happy and enthusiastic crowd of prospective presidential-makers and i their friends that crowded aboard the special. Although a majority of those on the train were delegates pledged to the nomination of Congressman Oscar W. Underwood, there were a number of sup porters of Gov.

June 24.—The army worm has at last struck .Colquitt coun ty and, according to J. J. Scott, a prom inent farmer, who lives in the southern end of the county, near Berlin, they will work great hardships on the crops throughout this end of the state. Mr. Scott also says his opinion is that the caterpillars will destroy the cotton. He also says his yard is literally covered with insects and that there are more, insects of different kinds this year than he has ever seen. Mr. Daniels said that the Wilson lead ers were ready to accept Senator O'Gor man, of New York, Representative Sul- I zer, of New. York: Senator Kern, of In diana. or Ben Shivley, of Indiana; Ollie James, Senator Culberson, of Texas, and Representative Henry, of Texas, for tem porary chairman. Seeking to prevent the election of Judge B. Parker as temporary chairman, supporters of Gov. Woodrow J Wilson instructed Robert S. Huds- * peth, national committeeman from New Jersey, to vote for Senator-elect Ollie James, of Kentucky, an avowed Champ I Clark man. * "We cast our support with Ollie James," said Mr. Hudspeth today, “even though he is a Clark man. We do this ithat the cause of the people and pro ’ gressfve Democracy shall not fail, or. If ,it fail, the responsibility will be upon others and not upon us." Mr. Hudspeth urged all progressives to join in fighting Judge Parker's election. BRYAN MAY SEEK IT. Mr. Bryan said te Jerry Sullivan, of lowa, who called- oh him, to talk over the temporary chairmanship situation: “If no one else can be found to make the fight I will be the candidate for temporary chairman myself.” Mr. Bryan said at noon after Mr. Sul livan had left: "There will be a progressive candidate for temporary chairman against Mr. Parker. If the progressives cannot agree i upon a candidate for temporary chair man. I will be candidate for temporary chairman myself unless I can find a man who will be satisfactory to us.” Mr. Bryan said that he would not take , up the fight on temporary’ chairmanship in the national committee and that it would be fought out In the convention. Asked if he had found a man for tem porary chairman, Mr. Bryan said he had not. One of Mr. Bryan's closest friends said that the issue was too well defined for either side to compromise and that Mr. Bryan would make the fight of his life on the convention floor. BRYAN TRYING STRENGTH. j After making known his intention to run as temporary chairman In ease no j other progressive was determined upon, Mr. Bryan ordered a poll taken of all arriving state delegations to ascertain ■ how they stood on the issue of progres- • sivism as against conservatism. I Charles Bryan, brother of Colonel ' Bryan, and Jerry Sullivan, of lowa, had ' the poll in charge, and hoped by late I tonight to get a true line on the situa* , tion. Governor John Burke, of North Da kota, said: "1 will do .all I can to elect a progres sive." Former Governor Glenn, of North Carolina; former Governor Beckham, of Kentucky, and Senator Kern, of Indiana, talked over the situation with Mr. Bryan.

THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, JUNE 25, 1912. MEN WEAR WILSON HAT BANDS, WOMEN WEARING CLARK SASHES Many Amusing Schemes for Advertising Candidates Are Devised by Rival Managers | in Baltimore BALTIMORE, June 24. —Ingenuity of the campaign managers of the Demo cratic presidential aspirants is being put to the test to find some novel way to advertise their particular hero of the hour. Almost from the start of the Balti more convention the Wilson hat bands became popular. They’ bore the allitera tive motto: “Win with Wilson.” The Clark men profited by the example, and got out hat bands with the words. Champ Clark.” in big red letters. Not only that, but the Missouri advertisers went further. They’ got out a specialty for women. These were in reality “Champ Clark” hat bands with several inches length added, so as to make them suitable for sashes. The Wilson forces procured a spa cious banquet hall, extending the entire width of the hotel, in whlc hto enter tain the visiting delegates. They re tained an octette to chirp forth Wilson songs. The latest addition to the dec orations of the room was a hand-writ ten copy of the "You are right” tele gram of Governor Wilson to W. J. Bryan last week. The handwriting was alter the style of the governor and was spread over a sheet of paper ten feet long. HIRED "REST ROOM.” The Clark forces have hired a “rest room" for similar accommodation of their friends. This hall is across Balti more street, and visitors are attracted to it principally by a big electric “houn 1 dawg” that blinks its eyes and wags its tall at friendly delegates. They have another “houn’ dawg” In town that barks. This one was sent to the Clark headquarters by Richard McKindless, chief clerk of the criminal court of Baltimore. The Marshall boomers, with keen souls for hot weather, rented a hotel roof garden, for admirers of the Indiana man. The Harmon leaders had a reception room just opposite the Wilson room. LITHOGRAPH CONTEST. Shortly after the lithograph contest, consisting of attempts to plaster the hotel froc cellar to roof with presiden tial pictures, started, the Clark friends hung in the hotel lobby a large likeness of the speaker and nailed on the frame the question: “Don’t he look like a president?" This morning someone fast-- ROOSEVELT, CRYING FRAUD, THROWS HAT IN NEW PARTY RING (Continued Trom Fags One.) these goes back to Sinai and is embodied in the commandment “Thou shalt not steal.” Thou shalt not steal a nomina tion: Thou shalt neither steal in politics nor in business. Thou shalt not steal from the people the bli thrlght of the peo ple to rule themselves. I hold, in the' language of the Kentucky court of Ap peals, that stealing Is stealing. No people is wholly civilized where a distinction is drawn between stealing an office and stealing a purse. “I do not know whether our country men fully realize the gravity of the crisis which we face. There is no use In holding primary elections if we per mit a small group of unscrupulous pol iticians, some of whom are certainly acting in the interests of big, crooked business, to exercise the veto power over these primaries and elections by upsetting the results at their own pleasure. “The convention which today closes its discreditable career here in Chicago represents a negligible minimum of the rank and file of the Republican party. “Blit what it has done and what it has provided for the future offer ma terial for very serious consideration. FRAUDULENT DELEGATES. “The old national committee, chosen by the politicians four years ago, made up a temporary roll including some 90 fraudulent delegates, who had not been elected by the people, and thereby they controlled a majority of the convention. This fraudulent temporary roll In turn chose a fraudulent credentials commit tee, and all the fraudulent delegates, voting on one another's cases, thereby made up the permanent roll, which constituted the fraudulent convention. “Then this fraudulent convention chooses a new and not less fraudulent national committee. Now, gentlemen, there are those who ask us to stay in the party, which has just fraudulently nominated for the presidency a man who inspired and profited by the fraud. "They ask us to submit to infamy in the present on the ground that perhaps we may be able to prevent such infamy in the future. “They seem to forget that the circle has been completed and that this fraud ulent convention has provided in its fraudulently chosen national committee a means whereby they can hope once again, four years hence and with like impunity, to overthrow the will of the majority of the voters at the primaries. FRAUDULENT, FRAUDULENT. “The national committee, over whose selection and retention in office the vot ers have no control whatever, makes up the fraudulent temporary roll call which controls the convention. The national convention, thus fraudulently made up. names another national committee; and the new national committee constituted by the same element that constituted the old one, has already shown by its actions that it can be trusted four years hence to repeat the misbehavior of the □ld one. “The vicious circle must be, broken. The powerful crook, political bosses, have and ought to have no feeling but contempt for the honest man who sub mits to their violent and unscrupulous dishonesty. “If we permit fraud of this kind to triumph, we do a shameful thing and show either that we are faint at heart or dull of conscience. “As for the principles for which I stand, I have set them forth fully in the many speeches I have made during the last four months while making an active contest for the nomination, which I won, and out of which I have been cheated. PRINCIPLES OF PEOPLE. “Fundamentally, these principles are. first, that the people have the right to rule themselves, and can do so better than any outsiders can rule them, and, second, that it is their duty so to rule in a spirit of justice toward every man and every woman within our bor ders, and to use the government, so far as possible, as an instrument for ob taining not merely political but indus trial justice. We stand for honesty and fair play.. "We practically apply the command ment, ‘Thou shalt not steal.' I hold that we are performing a high duty in inaugurating this movement, for the permanent success of the practice sucn an has obtained in the fraudulent con vention that has just closed its sitting would mean the downfall of this re public; and we are performing the most patriotic of duties when we set our faces like flint against such wrong.” ened onto it a sheet of paper, bearing the reply: "He do not.” The cutting thing about it was that the sheet was tacked on with a Wilson button. SUFFRAGETTE PARADE. The rivalry of the presidential candi dates prt>mises to be forgotten for the moment tomorrow night, when, in the sort of lull before the battle, the women suffragists will make a big demonstra tion. Women on six floats, representing the six states where women have the right to vote, will wear laurel wreaths. Behind them will trudge members of the Just Government league, of Maryland, in YOUNG BOY KILLS BROTHER WITH KNIFE (By Associated Press.) GREENSBORO, N. C., June 24.—Lov ern Bates, a 13-year-old boy, killed his brother, Clifton Bates, aged 20, at Ral eigh, Sunday afternoon, with a small knife.

This action rn&kes the conven tion in no proper sense any longer a Republican convention representing the real Republican party. Therefore, I hope the men elected as Roosevelt delegates will now decline to vote on any matter before the conven tion. Ido not release any delegate from his honorable obligation to vote for me if he votes at all, but under the actual couditions I hope that he will not vote at all. FINAL RAH AT TAFT. "The convention, as now composed, has no claim to represent the voters of the republican party. It represents noth ing but successful fraud In over riding the will of the rank and file of the party, Any man nominated by the convention as now constituted, would be merely the beneficiary of this successful fraud; it would be deeply discreditable to any man" to accept the convention’s nomina tion under these circumstances; and any man thus accepting It would have no claim to the support oL any republican on party grounds, and would have fore felted the right to ask the support of any honest man of any party on moral grounds.” A LAST BIG NOISE.

The police pounced on the fighters Instantly, and the parade was swung in the oppos ite direction. Meanwhile South Dakota, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Missouri had joined the par ade. BYE-BYE TO BRYAN. Fairbanks’ reading of the long plat form was suddenly interrupted by an apparently inexplicable outburst of cheer ing. He was reading the section on econ omy and efficiency. Turning to discover the cause of the outburst, Mr. Fairbanks found that he was “playing against" William Jennings Bryan, who was crossing the press sec tion to go out. Mr. Bryan was leaving for Baltimore. Mr. Fairbanks rose to the occasion. ■ "We have been greatly honored." said he, “with t|ie presence of some of our friends in political opposition, some of whom have business now in Baltimore." Reading of the platform was finish ed at 4:17 p. m. Mr. Fairbanks moved its adoption. Walter C. Owen, of Wisconsin, pre sented as a minority report a draft com prising the views of Senator LaFollette and his followers. There was much disorder during the reading of the LaFollette platform, and few heard it. Fairbanks movfed to ta ble the minority report. Cady, of Wisconsin, defended the La- Follette platform. J. J. Blain, of Wisconsin, also argued for the LaFollette platform. There was no Roosevelt draft. The LaFollette report was tabled. Only Wisconsin voted for it. LA FOLLETTE PLATFORM. Delegate Walter C. Owen, of Wiscon sinsin, was recognized to present the La Follette platform, offered as a com plete substitute. The North Dakota del egates joined with Wisconsin in urging the LaFollette ideas. Mateo Fajardo, a delegate from Porto Rico, sought recognition, claiming that a Porto Rican plank had been over looked in the report of the committee. He was held out of order. After the reading of La Follette's platform, Mr. Fairbanks moved to lay it on the table, 20 minutes in the mean time being allowed the La Follette ad vocates to make arguments. Samuel H. Cady, of Wisconsin, said th® present convention had thoroughly demonstrated the necessity of presiden tial preference primaries. He de nounced the old system of national con ventions as “one of the greatest trusts in the world,” and said the people might as well question the sincerity of a man, the beneficiary of such a con vention, when he went abroad denounc ing trusts in general. Mr. Cady discussed various planks in the La Follette platform, characterizing them as representative of the true progressive movement. J. J. Blaine, of Wisconsin, closed tne debate with a tribute to Senator La Follette. The La Follette platform then was laid upon the table. Mr. Fairbanks reported the Porto Klcan citizenship plank, left out by mistake, but it was accepted. On the adoption ot the platform Barnes, the Tatt leaaei from New York, demanded a roll call. llt was ordered. There war an outburst of cheering when the total Roosevelt strengtn was announced as 343, the number ot dele gates not voting, but a greater outburst I followed the announcement of mw votes i aye. The nays were 53* and 16 were ab sent. HUSBINDS SHE BABIES; SEE THEIR WIVES DROWN Over Twenty People, Mostly Women, Die When Dock Crashes In (By Associated Press.) BUFFALO, N. Y., June 24.—More than a score of people were hurled to their death in the swift waters of Niagara river yesterday when the dock at Eagle Park, a pleasure resort, crumpled under the weight of a throng of excursionists bound back to their homes in this city. From stories told by the disaster’s sur vivors it is feared the death list will be larger than shown by the number of corpses recovered today. The current was so swift at the point where the dock co'lapsed that to have escaped after once being caught in its grip was al most miraculous. Survivors tell pitiful stories qf how death reached in and separated families after 100 or more persons had been cast into the river. George Richmeyer, who lost his wife and 10-yeas-old son, saw them carried clear of the wreckage by the current that sweeps past the dock at the rate of ten miles an hour. He was clinging to a spile, holding his infant son in his arms, and could do nothing to save the other members of his family. George McKee, who also lost his wife and infant son, saw them go down in the mass of struggling people and they did n6t reappear. Many others, it is feared, were swept away, and until a careful canvass is made of the city the exact number of dead will not be known. The platform of the dock which gave way was about fifty feet in length and twenty-five feet wide. The coronor who examined the wreckage at dawn found that many of the broken planks were rotten and that directly beneath thl collapsed portion of the structure there were no supporting piles. The platform of two-inch planks rested on cedar beams laid across the full width of the dock, and many of these showed signs of decay. RECOVERING BODIES. Boats were sent down the river from Eagle Park early today to recover bod ies. A mile below the landing there is a reef running several hundred feet out into the river, which, with a shore swing of the current, forms a natural basin, and into this it is believed that the bodies will be carried. The excursion ists were members of Court Amherst lodge No. 232, Foresters of America, who were on their annual outing. The boats were warping into the dock to take on passengers for the return trip when the crowd began to gather on the dock. There is some difference in the stories of eyewitnesses as to whether the hosts contributed to the collapse of the dock by striking it when they came in or whether it sank under the sheer weight of the people standing on it. At noon today 18 bodies had been re covered from the Niagra river at Eagle Park, the scene of last night’s drowning tragedy, and the official list of identified dead and missing reached a total of 30. MASONS WILL ATTEND THOMASVILLE MEET (Special Di.'ipatch to The Journal.) THOMASVILLE, Ga., June 24.—The all-.day Masonic session to be held here on Monday in celebration of St. John's Day bids fair to be an event of unus ual interest and will be attended by prominent Masons from a number ot lodges in this section.

COLER, JR., DROWNS IN SURF AT TYBEE (By Associated Press.) SAtANNAH, Ga., June 24.—W. N. Coler, Jr., of Summitt, N. J., was drowned while in bathing at Tybee thia morning. The surf was unusually heavy and most of the bathers remain ed close in shore. Coler went beyond the life ropes and was dragged down. His body has not been recovered. With Coler in the surf was Miss Dorothy Londoner, of Denver, Colo. Both came to Savannah from Augusta last night. Mrs. Wolf Londoner, moth er of Miss Londoner, came to Savannah tonight. Coler is a son of the late W. N. Coler, of New York. Albany Cleans Up (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) ALBANY, Ga., June 24.—Albany’s health officers are right in behind prop erty-owners whose premises have not been connected with the sanitary sewer system of the city. The ordinance re quiring owners of all premises within 300 feet of a sanitary sewer to connect is being rigidly enforced, and cases are being made against those who fail to comply with its provisions. Many have contracts with plumbers for the neces sary work, and these are given reason able time for the plumbers to get round to their places, but those who have not made contracts with plumbers are either required to do so or have cases made against them in the mayor’s court.

BALTIMORE, June 24.—Georgia's vote will not go to Champ Clark for second choice, in my opinion. I am re liably informed that Chairman Pendle ton does not look upon the speaker with favor and many delegates express the belief that he is the weakest man the Democrats could nominate. There is a general realization among the delegates that Wilson will have to be reckoned with in the convention and that no candidate can win without his support except by a combination of all the conservatives. FISHING FOR TAMMANY. The belief that Clark is fishing for Tammany's support has not increased his strength with the Georgians. They will go to Gaynor much sooner than to the “houn’ dawg” candidate. In fact, the Gotham mayor has many friends in the delegation. I understand that Gay nor is Chairman Pendleton’s choice after Underwood. When the delegation meets today Randolph Anderson will be chosen to second Underwood's nomina tion. The Chatham representative is said to be the choice of Underwood himself, and will undoubtedly get the indorsement of a majority of the dele gates who ware aboard'the special. DIVIDING HONORS. Congressman Brantley will be given Georgia's place on the platform com mittee and Crawford Wheatley will likely be put on the notification com mittee. The credentials cojnmlttee place is still unsettled. The Georgia delegation will present Clark Howell a silver loving cup, big enough to swim in, when the delega tion is called together today. The cup is beautiful in design and workmanship. The inscription explains the sentiment that inspired the gift. It reads: “Pre sented to Hon. Clark Howell, senor member of the Democratic national committee, by the Georgia delegation to the Baltimore convention, Jun® 25, 1912, as a token of esteem and recogni tion of his long and efficient party service." On one side of the cup are the names of the Georgia delegates. TOM HUDSON ALONG The most important development aboard the Georgia Democratic special as it sped towards Baltimore Sunday was a movement to elect Thomas G. Hudson to the vacancy in the delega tion caused by the absence of Thomas E. Watson.

The suggestion was frowned upon by Chairman Pendleton, it is said, and may provoke a fight when the dele gation meets Monday at noon in the Hotel Belvedere. Some of the delegates maintain that the delegation has no authority to fill any vacancy except one resulting from resignation or death. This will be the argument of the opposition. The news from Thomson that Mr. Watson is ill and unable to attend the convention was discussed freely. While regretting his illness the delegates agree that Watson’s absence is fortunate for the candidacy of Underwood. They state, however, that had Watson come he would have been prevented from any important participation in the conven tion. IMPERSONATING FELDER Impersonating Tom Felder was a fa vorite sport as the Georgia delegates came through South Carolina Sunday afternoon. When the train reached Seneca there was a general exodus of delegates eager to see Governor Blease's deputies. Tom Hudson was dragged from the train by his friends and a cry raised: "Here is Tom Felder, whers is Please?" At Spartanburg Crawford Wheatley made the crowd at the depot a speech in which he dared Blease or his depu ties to come aboard and get "Tom,” none of the Toms succeeded in getting arrested and Governor Blease still has that S2OO reward. The Democratic special got more Democratic as it clipped off the miles. Crawford Wheatley, chairman of the transportation committee proved a splendid host and looked after the com fort - and happiness of all aboard to their utmost satisfaction. New Pavo School (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) THOMASVILLE, Ga., Apne 24.—Pavo will soon have a new school building to take the place of the one destroyed by fire some months ago. The contract for the building has been awarded to Harden * Hall, contractors of Quit* man. and the work will be pushed in time to be ready for the fall term. The building destroyed was quite a handsome one and cost 310,000, but it is said that the plans for the new one show it to be handsomer, and modern’ •nd up-to-date in every respect
