MfcWMWDw SENATOR BOBBS RISES FO PEBSONIL PBIVILEGE He Makes an Attack, on The Journal Which Is Answered by Its Editor Riling to a question of personal priv ilege in the senate Tuesday afternoon. Senator E. P. Dobbs made the follow ing statement: •'The Atlanta Journal on Sunday launched a covert editorial attack upon my candidacy for the office of comptrol ler general and ex-officio Insurance commissioner. •‘lt was characteristic of their meth ods that the real excuse for their inter est in my opponent was withheld and that they should have assigned a false and artificial reason for endeavoring to aid him at my expense. "The Journal intimates that I am con nected* or affiliated in some unstated way with the Louisville and Nashville railroad. “As I have never had any connec tion. direct or remote, with the L. & N. railroad or with its affairs, 1 de nounce the statement as false and un founded and demand the facts upon which the insinuation was based. -As senator from this district, my record shows that I voted for the W. & A. anti-paralleling bill and that I have invariably cast my vote in every instance in behalf of the state, against what is popularly supposed to be the interest or desire of the L. & N. rail road, as every senator on this floor well knows. “In order that the voters of Georgia may know and appreciate the real rea son for this baseless and unworthy at tack upon me. I charge that the man aging editor of The Atlanta Journal, Mr. John S. Cohen, is a nephew of my opponent. General William A. Wright, and this information will be sufficient explanation for the ambushed attack of Mr. Cohen upon me for having the temerity to ask Georgians to vote for me to succeed his uncle in office. “If the people of Georgia require further proof of the rotten record and condition of the tax and insurance de partments of the state of Georgia, it is found in the attitude of the friends and relatives of the present incumbent, who seek to perpetuate him in office by creating false issues intended to divert popular attention from his of ficlal record and from the condition of his department. “I am much deceived in the people of Georgia if this unfair effort on the part of Nephew Cohen to aid hi* rela tive by endeavoring to bushwhack me, does not react upon his uncle, my op pon<nt’ -E. P. DOBBS.” (The foregoing statement was read by Senator E. P. Dobbs Tuesday afternoon on the floor of the senate chamber. It refers to an editorial which was printed in The Journal on Sunday, July 13, under the caption “The People of Geor gia Should Watch and Think.” Senator Dobbs tn effect charges that the managing editor of The Journal is the writer of the editorial referred to. or responsible for it, and that it was written because of his relationship to Comptroller General Wright. In this Senator Dobbs is mistaken. The man aging editor not only did not write the editorial referred to, but he did not know that such an editortai was even teing considered until he saw it in type. He was never consulted about it, he made no suggestion that anything be written on that subject, and was in no way responsible for its being printed. In order that the senator may understand perfectly the origin and purpose of this editorial. I will state that I am the author and that I alone am responsible for its publication. It was my own thought, suggested by nobody, inspired by nobody, and written with a patriotic purpose. Mr Dobbs wholly misconceives the object of the editorial if he imagines that it was aimed solely or even pr - n-arilv at h’l candidacy. Nothing was Xrs. tnourtU. r.r r-lly I have not taken this gentleman s can didacy very seriously. True, it did re fer to his candidacy for comptroller gen eral. but this reference was a mere in cident to the main object. My purpose was to direct the atten tion of the people of Georgia to four important facta, all involved in one gen eral scheme. 1 That efforts have been and are now being made by foreign interests to weaken or destroy the value of- the state’s railroad property by means of parallel lines or interurban electric lines so that these interests may lease or purchase tbe state’s railroad on their own term*. 2. That the influences aiding and di recting these effort* are also largely diresting the campaign for governor. 3. That the same influences are aiding and largely directing, if not entirely re sponsible for the campaign of Senator Dobbs for comptroller general. 4. That the same influences are in directly seeking to elect one or more friendly railroad commissioner*. So that if the plan should be auccess ' ful, these interest* which are seeking to ' depress the state * railroad property for 1 »he iwn purpose* would dominate the . ve office of the state, would dom ing th* comptroller general's oftlce. whicn is the railroad taxing power of the state, and would through friendly commissioner* have a potential voice in the railroad commiMlon. which is the i rate-making power of the state. If Mr. Dobbs really thought the edi torial was intended a* a mere "covert attack" upon his candidacy, he missed its whole purpose Apart from the gen eral scheme. I think the candidacy of Mr. liobbs would be unimportant and uninteresting, but as a circumstance in the case, a pawn In the game, hta can fl dacy does assume a degree of impor tance that le not well understood. If Senator Dobbs is not friendly to the , Interests which are antagonistic to the i best interest of the people of Georgia, then it is unfortunate for him that he has the support of influences that are alcing these foreign interests in their effort to dominate the state's property as well as its most important offices.

EIGHELBEBGER IB DISPUTE Legality of Meeting of Anti- Saloon'League Trustees Not Settled Yet The legality of the meeting Tuesday of members of the board of trustees of th Anti-Saloon league Is still stoutly affirmed by the faction opposed to Dr. G. W. Eichelberger and is with equal vehemence denied by friends of the doc tor. Dr. A. A. Little, who was appointed to give to the press the results of the meeting, rotated that to all intents and purposes Dr. Eichelberger's resignation had been accepted, but that technically It remained for the headquarters com mittee to act, as the£ were Instructed to do. That Is to say, they were told to meet Immediately and accept the reslg • nation tendered them by Dr. Eichel berger. Dr. Little explained that the head quarters committee was merely the agent of the trustees and that while the resignation was addressed to the headquarters committee it was fully within the power of the trustees to act on the resignation since the headquar ters committee was its ‘creature’ with powers emanating from the trustees. On the other hand it is contended by the Eichelberger faction that the meet ing was illegal and therefore it had no authority to instruct the headquarters committee to do anything. They assert that only 17 members of the board of trustees called the meeting and did not state the purpose of the gathering, 'a proceeding which they claim is without authority since it takes 42 trustees out of the 83 that compose the board to call a meeting. MERELY AN OPINION. Dr. Little claims that this is merely the opinion of Dr. Eichelberger as op posed to that those of Judge W. A. Hammond and W. Woods White and a dozen other men who attended the meeting. In a statement given out Tuesday by Dr. Eichelberger it was declared that he had advanced over SBOO of his per sonal funds to further the work of the league and that $2,000 was still due him in salaries. A committee consisting of George S. Jones, of Macon; Judge W. H. Preston, of Atlanta; W. S. Witham and others were appointed to make a set tlement with Dr. Eichelberger. This, according to the doctor’s statement, con sists in reimbursing him for what he has spent out of his personal funds In the Interest of the league. In reference to his future Dr. Eichel berger said: “I am not thinking shout myself. It is the league’s work and its future that interest me. I have an offer from the board of director’s to devote my time to the commonwealth and this will give me all I can do. The commonwealth has an immense circulation and re quires all the time the force can give it." The doctor declared that his resigna tion was actuated by the desire to re store harmony within the ranks of the Anti-Saloon league. No one seems to know when the head quarters committee will meet or wheth er It will meet at alt It is without a permanent chairman and a number of its members have resigned. “Paper Trust” Assailed On Floor of the Senate (By Axxooiated Prexx.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.—Senator Martine, of New Jersey, assailed the so called paper trust on the floor of the senate today because of the high price of news print paper and submitted an amendment to the revenue bill to place news print paper and materials entering into it on the free list of the tariff. The revenue bill as reported today would place on the free list print paper costing up to five cents a pound. Under existing taw paper costing up to 2 l-2c a pound is on the free list. DR. HARDMAN DELIVERS ADDRESS AT DALLAS (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) . DALLAS, Ga., Aug. 16.—Dr. L. G. Hardman, candidate for governor, ad dressed an audience of 300 here at the noon hour of court Tuesday. Dr. W. H. Bell introduced him. Douglas County Voters Hear Dr. Hardman (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) DOUGLASVILLE, Ga.. Aug. 16. Quite a number of Douglas county voters heard Dr. L. G. Hardman in the inter est of his race for governor yesterday afternoon. He was introduced by Editor Z. T. Dake, of the Douglas County Sen tinel. He spoke for an hour and a half, devoting most of his time to a review’ of his legislative record and his plat form, not mentioning the other candi dates. WOULDTUNIsiTREFUSAL OF AMERICAN CARGOES (By Axeociated Preaa.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.—Criminal prosecution of steamship companies and officials which refuse American cargo was urged today by Representative Bennett, of New York, before the house commerce committe as a reprisal against the British blacklist. Chairman Adamson and other commit teemen expressed doubt that the Ben nett bill would remedy the situation. Iron Is Greatest of All Strength Says Doctor A Secret of the Great Endurance and Power of Athletes Ordinary Nuxated Bron Will Make Deli cate, Nervous, Bundown People 200 Per Cent Stronger in Two Week* Time in Many Case*. NEW YORK, N. Y.—Most people foolishly seem to think they are going to get renewed heeltb and strength from some stimulating medicine, secret nostrum or narcotic drug, said i'r. Sauer, a well known Specialist who has studied widely both in this country and Eu rope. when, as a matter of fact, real and true strength can only come from tbe food you eat. But people often fall to get tbe strength out of their food because they haven't enough iron In their blood to enable it to change food into living matter. From their weakened, nervous condition they know some thing Is wrong but they can't tell what, so they generally commence doctoring for stom ach, liver or kidney trouble or symptoms of same other ailment caused by the lack of Iron In the blood. This thing mny go on for years while tbe patient suffers untold agony. If you an- not strong or well, you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five grain tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see for yourself how much you have gained. I have seen doz ens of nervous, run-down people who were ail ing all the while, double their strength and endurance and entirely get rid of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles In from AS FINAL ACT HOUSE SUSTAINS GOVERNOR IN I VETOING PRIMARY BILL —— (Continued from page one.) which is to take place on September ■ 12 and was passed by a legislature of; which the governor, who Is a candidate | for re-election was a part. It would j subject him, therefore, to great criti cism either that he was trying to help | himself if he signed it, or, if he vetoes I it, that he must do so because he was! afraid it would injure his own chances. ! “2. The bill limits the discretion of j the party in the ascertainment of the will of its members touching its own candidates who shall represent it, and makes statute law out of what, gener ally speaking, should be subject to par ty regulation. BARS POOR MAN. “3. The bill, If it Is enacted Into law, would render the races for the offices to which it refers, in every case where there is more than two candidates, and neither secures a majority of the votes necessary to elect, so costly that no one but a rich man. or a man who rep-, resented some interest that was thought to be in jeopardy, could afford to enter the race. The legislature has not seen fit to limit the expenditures in seeking any of the offices to which the act refers. It is difficult now to find men to run for office who have enough money to pay the ordinary expenses of the same, but superimpose a second pri mary upon two men, the whole expense of which must be borne by them, is to put it beyond the reach of any but the very rich to go forward to the end. The great common people would be entirely out of it. "4. The evil which the bill was thought to remedy, viz: The abuse of its powers by the convention, could nave been handled by providing rules for the convention regulating the bal lots and providing that the lowest man should be dropped after a certain num ber of ballots had been taken. But this is suggested only as proof of the fact that there are other ways by which the difficulty can be met than by the one suggested. "5. As there will be another legisla ture before there will be another elec tion, and it seems manifestly unjust to allow a change of rules at the present time by legislative enactment, there can be no serious damage result to the party or people by failing to enact the proposed statute at the present session. "Respectfully submitted, "NAT E. HARRIS, Governor.” August 16, 1916. W. & A. BOND BILL. Os the 189 members of the house, only 127 voted on the motion to over ride, which left 62 members absent or not voting. Thus with only 127 mem bers voting, it would have taken 126 of these to override the governor in the house. But the ratio of the vote was practically two to one in favor of the governor, instead of being two to one against the governor. Outside of the action of the house in sustaining the governor’s veto of the Neill primary bill, the most Important action of the house at the afternoon session was its failure to pass the sen ate bill submitting to the voters of the state a constitutional amendment au thorizing the issuance of $10,000,000 of state bonds to defray the cost of ex tending the Western and Atlantic rail road to the sea. This bill was a com panion bill to the statutory bill enlarg ing the powers of the Western and At lantic leasing com mission so as to au thorize the commission to invite pro posals for extending the road to the sea or acquiring an existing road to the sea. Without authority for a state bond issue, the extension is practically out of the question, as no other method of financing the extension is available. Being a constitutional majority, the bond issue bill required a two-thirds majority of the whole house, or 126 votes. The vote for the bill was 96, and the vote against the bill was 50. Thus the bill received a majority, but not the two-thirds majority required to pass. COMPULSORY EDUCATION. The closing day marked the passage of a compulsory education bill, which was hanging in the balance in a preca rious situation Wednesday morning. Several weeks ago the B « nate p *" se< ? a compulsory education bill. Later the house passed a bill which was not so strong as the bill passed by the senate. The bill of the house then went to the senate, and Wednesday afternoon the senate repassed its bill as a substitute for the house bill. When the action of the senate came back to the house, the houst disagreed to the senate >ubsti tute The authors of the house bill, who moved to disagree, had no criticism to make of the senate bill, except that they were afraid it would prove too dras tic in operation and would thereby prejudice the sentiment of the people against compulsory education. But when the action of the house went back to the senate, the senate in sisted on its substitute, and the sharp ly defined Issue between the house and senate made It doubtful, with only an hour of the session left, whether any bill at all would pass. Realizing this danger, the friends of compulsory edu cation in the house, led by Representa tive Redwine, of Fayette, the author of the house bill, acted in a very patriotic and broad-minded spirit and moved to agree to the senate substitute, which motion prevailed. Thus, by agreeing to the senate substitute, the house passed the senate bill, and It will now go to the governor for his approval. Among other senate bills acted on Wednesday afternoon by the house were the following: Juvenile court bill, senate amend ments agreed to; Interurban railway bill, senate amendment agreed to; bill pro viding for rotation of University of Georgia trustees on the boards of the branches of the university, laid on the table: bill raising standard of osteo pathy, passed; bill creating state board of electrical examiners, passed; bill cre- ten to fourteen days' time simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this after they had in some cases been doctoring for mouths without obtaining any benefit. But don’t take ttie old forms of reduced iron, iron acetate or tincture of iron simply to save a few cents. You must take iron tn a form that can be easily absorbed and assimilated like uuxated iron if you want it to do you any good, other wise it may prove worse than useless. Many an athlete or prize-fighter has won rhe Jay simply because he knew the secret of great strength and endurance and filled his blood with Iron before be went into the affray, while many another has gone down to Inglorious de feat simply for the lack of Iron. NOTE—Nuxated Iron recommended above by l>r. Sauer is not a patent medicine nor secret remedy, but one which is well known to drug gists and whose iron constituents is widely prescribed by eminent physicians everywhere. Unlike the older Inorganic iron products, It Is easily assimilated, does not injure the teeth, mrke them black, nor upset the stomach; on the contrary, it Is a most potent remedy, in nearly all forms of indigestion, as well as for nervous, run-down conditions. The Manufactur ers have such great faith in Nuxated Iron that they offer to forfeit SIOO 00 to any charit able institution if they cannot take any man or woman under 60 who lacks iron and increase their strength 200 per cent or over in four weeks' time provided they have no serious or ganic trouble. They also offer to refund your uioney if it does not at least double your strength and endurance in ten days’ time. It Is dispensed by all druggists.—(Advt.) ating state auditor, passed; bill amend ing state embalming law, passed; bill permitting alcohol to he imported for manufacturing purposes, passed; bill to make theft of illuminating gas a misdemeanor, passed. CLOSING DAY IN SENATE. The senate on Wednesday made a number of minor changes in the va rious appropriation bills passed by the house, and all these changes were agreed to by house. The house bill to kmend the constitu tion so as to create five additional state senatorial districts failed of passage in the senate Wednesday afternoon. Being a constitutional amendment it require! a two-thirds majority of the whole membership of the senate, or thirty votes. The vote was twenty for the till and eleven against. The senate passed the house bill to make the stealing of an automobile a felony, and passed the house bill per mitting women to be clerks to ordi naries and clerks to clerks of the su perior court.

Address: The Semi- Weekly Journal, Circulation Dep’t, Atlanta, Ga. j BBIBDEIS DECLINES PUCE ON MEXICAN COMMISSION Mass of Business Before Su preme Court Prevents Him Accepting (By Asiociated Preaa.) WASHINGTON. Aug. 15.—Associate Justice Louis D. Brandeis, of the su preme court, informed President Wilson last night that, because of the mass of business before the court, he would be unable to accept the president’s desig nation to serve on the joint commission which will attempt to solve the tllfficul tles between the United States and Mex ico. Justice Brandeis conferred with the president and Attorney General Gregory late In the day and the question of the justice’s accepting was gone over thor oughly. Later the following letter from Justice Brandeis to the president was made public at the White House: "My Dear Mr. President: I appreciate the opportunity for high service which membership on the Mexican commission would present, but upon consultation with the chief justice I find that the state of the business of the supreme court at the present time to be such that it is my duty not to undertake this important constructive task.” The giving out of Justice Brandeis letter was the first formal announcement that he had been offered the post, al though it has been known definitely that he and Secretary Lane were two of the three men selected by the president for membership on the commission. The name of the third man has not been made public. The general understanding has been that both Justice Brandeis and Secre tary Lane had accepted places on the commission, and there have been inti mations that the justice’s decision to withdraw was reached after Chief Jus tice White had interposed objections. There was no official confirmation of that, however, as all officials concerned have refused to discuss the subject.

WAS SO WEAK SHE COULDN’T UH HER 6 MONTHSOLD BABY Was Bound So Fast to My Bed I Couldn’t Raise My Head or Move With out Help,” Says Mrs. Haw kins. "I was down in bed and couldn’t raise my head or move without help and now I’m aole to do all my housework even to my cooking; and garden work and I weigh more than I have In eighteen years and have been taking Tanla*c only about four weeks,” said Mrs. Dollie Hawkins, 4906 Second avenue, South Birmingham. . “For many years,” continued Mrs. Hawkins, “I suffered with rheumatism in my shoulders, arms and in my sides and neck,” and I had indigestion, too, in its acute form. The rheumatism got me down in bed and had me bound so hard and fast somebody had to move me about and the pajn was terrible. I couldn't so much as lift my little six months-old baby, and we had to hire some one to wait on me and do my work I was so nervous and full of pain the least little thing dropping on the floor would startle me and my heart would almost stop beating and the only way I could get any sleep and rest was from hypodermics. I had indigestion so bad I couldn't eat any solid food at all, and I was so thin and weak and in such (a run-down condition that my baby fell off until it was just a little skeleton and fretted and cried all the time except when It was given something to make it quiet. My condition was too awful to try to describe it all. No kind of treatment or medicine did me any good and I was getting worse all the time, and I don’t know what I would have done if it hadn’t been for Tanlac. ‘‘lf ever a medicine did wonders for anybody Tanlac did it for me and my little baby. I felt better in just a few days after I began taking it. I could eat something and sleep better and my . baby showed improvement almost aJ soon as I did. I have taken three bot tles of Tanlac and I am not nervous in the least now and my seep is fine and rests me. The awful rheumatic pains and misery is all gone and I don’t need the servant any more. I can eat anything I want and my food not only gives me nourishment, but my baby is as fat as a little pig and sits for hours at a time on a pallet and plays without a whimper. It has been a long time since I felt as well and strong as 1 do now, and as I have already said I weigh more than I have before In eigh teen years. Tanlac has made a well wom an of me and fat, healthy baby out of my little sickly one, and I don’t know any better way to tell what a wonderful medicine it is than that I’m just so thankful for what Tanlac has done for us I want everybody to know about this great medcine.” Tanlac is sold by regnlar established agencies in all prominent towns of th*s south.—(Advt.)
