DOBSEY SCORED FDR PICT WITH FOE OF DEMOCBiCI Pottle Reads Certified Copy of Nelms’ Mortgage in Speech at Wrens (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) WRENS. Ga., Aug. 25.—Fresh from a hurried and arduous, but successful, tour of north Georgia mountain counties. Joe Pottle, candidate for governor, de livered one of the best speeches of his campaign here today. Mr. Pottle was in fine spirits, good voice and radiated an air of confidence. He was heard by a large audience of Jefferson county vot ers, and his hearers manifested their sympathy and hearty indorsement of the great fight which he is making to pre serve the Western and Atlantic railroad from the destructive schemes of the Louisville and Nashville railroad. Although Thomas E. Watson is sup posed to have a strong following in Jefferson county, Mr. Pottle was widely congratulated for his manly and straightforward exposure of the L. & N.- Watson-Dorsey alliance. He was em phatic in denouncing Watson for his bit ter fight on President Wilson and the Democratic party, and declared that Mr. Dorsey was subject to the severest of criticism for aligning himself with an avowed enemy of the Democratic party while he (Dorsey) was at the very mo_- ment seeking the nomination for gover nor at the hands of the Democratic party. Referring to the fee received by M>r. Dorsey from the widow Nelms for his services in connection with extraditing the Inneses. Mr. Pottle said: "A very apparent effort has been made by certain persons interested in Mr. Dorsey's candidacy for governor, to cre ate the impression that I have misrepre sented facts relative to the fee. I have in my possession a certified copy of a deed with power of sale, given by the widow Nelms and her son, * Marshall Nelms, to Hugh M. Dorsey, for the pur pose of securing this fee of 91,000. ‘‘This deed was executed on the 10th day of May, 1915, and is recorded in deed book 90. pages 473 and 474, in the office of the clerk of the superior court of De- Kalb county, and conveys two lots of land, one of which is on Adolphus street and Nelms avenue and the other on Adolphus street and Arizona avenue, city of Atlanta. •'The copy of this deed, which is in my possession, is certified to by B. F. Bur gess, clerk of DeKalb superior court. "I do not question Mrs. Nelms’ as sertion that she voluntarily gave Mr. Dorsey the deed referred to, to secure the.payment of the fee, but the point I am making is that even if she did volun tarily do so. he had neither the legal nor the moral right to accept it. This deed appears on the record in DeKalb county as still unsatisfied. Mr. Dorsey insists that he did not make this contract, or accept this fee as solicitor general, but that it was a private contract between lawyer and client. If that is true, it is at least remarkable that the deed and the notes which it was given to secure are payable to him. individually, and not to the law firm of which he was a mem ber and which presumably was entitled to share it.” Mr. Pottle then read to his hearers a copy of the deed, certified by Clerk Bur gess. It follows: Deed tM»k 90. 473. Kecorded May J2tb. 1915. B. F. Bnr clerk. State Georgia—Fnlton Coi.nty: This inden ture. made and executed this 10th day of May A.

The men folk of Wrens end surround ing country turned out en masse to bear Pottle this morning and his speech was received with exceptional interest. Mr. Pottle's mother was a Jefferson county girl and many of the old men in his audience remembered her with esteem an dadmiration and they read ily warmed to enthusiasm for the can didacy of her son. J. D. Howard, Mr. Pottie's campaign manager, also spent many years in this county and numbers his friends here by the hundreds. He accompanied Mr. Pottle here and made a brief address in Mr. Pottle’s behalf.

IT'S OPTO VOTERS Political Expert H. N. Rickey Says This Is Issue of Presi dential Campaign to Be De cided by the People BY H. M. BXCKEY. “WASHINGTON. D. C.. Aug. 26—It is evident Candidate Hughes considers Mexico the weakest spot in the Wilson defense, for he has devoted more words to it than to any other subject since he opened his campaign. A Mexican crisis faced President Wil son the day he was inaugurated. Crisis has followed crisis and each one has called for a decision by the president, involving the question of peace or war. The president has had to make these decisions without regard to their pop ularity or unpopularity. He has had to consider their effect on the relations between this nation and foreign na tions, especially those of South and Cen tral America. He has had to consider the future as well as the present welfare of his people, and last, but not least, the rights of Mexico. KEYSTONE OF POLICY. I am betraying no confidence when I say President Wilson’s determination to keep this nation out of war, at any price short of absolute sacrifice of giatianal honor, has been the keystone of the arch of his Mexican policy. It is charged in the Republican plat form, and the charge is being repeated in every speech by Hughes, that Wilson has neither kept us from war with Mex ico nor saved our national honor; that as the direct result of the vacillating Wilson policy, conditions in Mexico are worse today than when he took office; u hundreds of Americans have been killed and millions of American prop erty destroycl in Mexico in defiance of our right. KhruuUCANB LIMIT SELVES. Unfortunately, both the Republican platform and the Republican candidate limit themselves to a bitter and sweep ing criticism of the Wilson-Mexican policy, without suggesting what should have been done or promising what will be done if they get control of the gov ernment. Hughes has expressed a high regard for the late Huerta, but has not said that had he been president he would have recognized him as president of Mexico. Considering the well-known public and private character of Huerta; that he attained whatever power he had in Mexico by the cowardly assassination of friend and foe; that no considerable number of the Mexican people believed in him or wanted him for president; that he represented the same clique of grafters that for years without number, under Diaz, had looted Mexico and kept the great bulk of its people in ignorance and virtual slavery, it is not strange Hughes has hesitated to say that he would have recognized his right to gov ern. The simple fact is, that aside from any question of morals, the recognition of Huerta by this country would not have solved the Mexican problem. The Mexican revolution would have con tinued and Huerta would have been kill ed or driven from the country. No one who knows Mexico and has studied Its problems with an open mind has the slightest idea that Huerta and his methods would have been tolerated by the Mexican people very long. His recognition would have been no ticed to every cut-throat brigand in every South and Central American coun try that the United States stood for government by assassination. The "easiest way” for President Wil son would have been to recognize Huerta. It would have saved a lot of trouble, much criticism, and it may have been good politics. But it would have been wrong and President Wilson is not the man to purchase political prestige at such a price. Having determined not to recognize Huerta, the president began to apply the “pressure of moral forces” which finally pushed Huerta from his seat of power and drove him from Mexico. It was during this pressure that Ad miral Mayo demanded that Huerta sa lute our flag. This was a perfectly asinine thing to do and President Wil son ki.ew it just as well as anybody else. The president was at White Sulphur Springs trying to get a little rest when Admiral Mayo's action was reported to him. It Is an open secret that he was disgusted and his first impulse prob ably was to repudiate the admiral’s de mand and reprimand him for lack of judgment. Had such a demand under like clr cumstances been made of England, France, Germany or any other nation with an organized government, whose people could understand that its re pudiation did not necessarily mean cowardice on our part, there is no doubt President Wilson would have promptly repudiated it. But Mexico was different. For years the Mexican people have been fed on the idea that the gringroes are cowards and bluffers. President Wilson backed up Admiral Mayo’s "salute the flag” demand be cause it seemed impossible to make the Mexican people understand that any other course was not due to our fear of them. To be sure, the flag was not saluted and this has been the cause of much caustic comment and many flippant re marks. _. DID NOT WANT SALUTE. President Wilson never cared a rap whether the flag was saluted or not. He certainly did not propose to have war with Mexico if it could be avoided, whether or not the flap was saluted. The naval and military demonstrations, which followed wore just sufficient to Impress the Mexicans with the fact that we had teeth if we cared to use them. In the final analysis, when the voter considers the president's Mexican policy in connection with how he shall vote in November, he must ask himself this question: "Does America want war or peace with Mexico?" He must answer that question for himself and should bring to bear on it all that he has of reason, heart and conscience. He should not answer until he has calmly considered what war with Mex ico would mean—that it would mean an army of at least 500,000 men, tens of thousands of whom would be killed and wounded and the expenditure of hun dreds pf millions of dollars. He Should realize that intervention in Mexico would mean war against a united people, a war which might last for years and which would eventually result in the spoliation and probable an nexation of the country. He'should ask himself whether such a war would be worthy of the great American nation and whether there has been, or is likely to be, an affront to our honor by revolution-torn Mexico, which would justify it. byway of Sparta and Warrenton. Mr Pottles friends in Jefferson county be lieve he is certain to carry this county. Mr. PotUa Saturday at States bois IS DOHSEY BACKED BY RUDS? ASKS HARRIS Governor Replies at Ft. Gaines to Attack on His Veto of Primary Bill - * (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) FORT GAINES, Ga., Aug. 26.—Gov ernor Harris today replied to Hugh Dorsey's attack on the governor’s veto of the second primary bill. He de clared It has been published In news papers and not denied that the primary bill was written in the office of Mr. Dorsey’s law partner, who is counsel for the Louisville and Nashville railroad. "Why is Mr. Dorsey sc anxious for a second primary and its enormous ex pense when he is not a man of large means any more than I am?” asked Governor Harris. "Is it because he knows that great interests will gladly pay the expenses of his campaign when Important railroad interests are pend ing? No other candidate I know of could call on such an interest.” Governor Harris Speaks Five Times Friday (Special Dispatch to The Journal ) CUTHBERT, Ga., Aug. 26.—Governor Harris addressed a representative and appreciative audience at tbe court house Friday afternoon, being introduced by the Rev. W. D. Hammack. He stood upon his record as governor, which un der Democratic precedent, he said, en titled him to a second term. He claimed that his age had in no wise affected his work, and that it should be no bar to bis re-election.. He spoke but little of his opponents, expressing high regard personally for all. Governor Harris appealed to his au dience to indorse his record and honor him by re-eleotion, also to pay tribute to the Confederate soldier as he per haps would be the last ever to offer for governor. Governor Harris is being assured at every stop that he is gaining ground. On Friday the governor made five ad dresses. speaking at Preston, Richland, Lumpkin and Cuthbert, and, after that hard trip by automobile over some rough roads, accepted a late invitation to speak at Shellman. Everywhere his friends have an automobile ready, and the leading business and professional men and the planters from the sur rounding country hurry to greet him. There has not been a hint of discourtesy shown him on his tour and, to judge from the receptions given him, one would not know there was an opposition sup porter in any town he has visited. In his address Friday the governor discussed the second primary bill which he vetoed on the last night of the gen eral assembly. •'I vetoed it because it called for a second primary, a system which sev eral states have tried, found a failure and abandoned,” he said. “I told its supporters if they would abolish the convention by some other plan I would sign the bill. But I could not put my name to a bill which would put the burden of two state primaries on the people. And under such a system no candidate could stand the enormous ex pense unless he were a very wealthy man or supported by an interest with vast funds to spend and the fear of danger ahead. It would enable a big interest to learn where its candidate was weak and pour money into those counties and corrupt certain classes of voters. In speaking of Dorsey’s vaunted “standing fast,” the governor recalled the crisis which faced the state be fore the extra session, when he included prohibition in the call. “I indicted King Alcohol then," he said. “I tried him, I convicted him, I put him to death.” The governor was forced to decline a dozen pressing invitations to speak at nearby towns, as his schedule as it stands occupies almost every moment of his time. His principal regret is that he has not several weeks more, that he might visit more counties. Hugh Dorsey Speaks To Audience of 587 (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) HAWKINSVILLE, Ga., Aug. 25. Hugh Dorsey spoke here this afternoon at the auditorium to 560 men and twenty-seven ladles. Twelve Confeder ate veterans were on the stage, Includ ing P. H. Lovejoy, who for ten years was mayor here. M. H. Boyer, promi nent attorney, introduced Mr. Dorsey, characterizing him as the Henry Grady of the new south, saying he had the foresight of Stephens, the courage and fortitude of Ben Hill, the dignity and equipoise of Bob Toombs. Boyer re ferred to the veto of the Neill bill as ’being a direct slap in the face of coun try counties. It was an audience man ifesting keen enthusiasm. .. THE TBVTH ABOUT CANCEB.

ALABAMA GOVERNOR SUED BI IDE ATTORNEY GENERAL Latter Would Compel Execu tive to Pay Girard Liquor Raid Expense (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MONTGOMERY, Ala., Aug. 25.—After a war of words which has been carried cn between the executive committee and the attorney general’s department for several weeks, William L. Martin, the attorney general, Friday entered a peti tion in the city court of Montgomery for a writ of mandamus requiring Charles Henderson, as governor of Ala bama, to prove certain accounts for ex penses incurred in the Girard liquor in vestigations, and the trial of Pat M. Daniel, sheriff of Russell county, who was impeached by the superior court. Attorney General Martin made pub lic the correspondence which led up to entering the suit and announced that the case "is for the purpose of deter mining the authority of my office.” The correspondence showed that Gov ernor Henderson had declined to ap prove certain accounts dn the ground that the contracts were made without the approval of the department and that the expenses were incurred with out consultation with the governor. Attorney General Martin’s petition was directed to Judge Leon McCord, of the fifteenth judicial circuit, and re quested him to summon Governor Hen derson into court and command him to show why a writ of mandamus should not be entered directing him to ap prove an account for 3171.08 presented by J. R. Daly, who was employed by the attorney general’s department to make Investigations in Russell county. .-SOUTHERN COLLEGE OF I Largest Pharmacy School South. Dispensary in the college.

Haskin, Author of “The Panama Canal” Haven’t you often wished for a true picture of your government? Not a Democratic picture, not a Republican picture, but an accurate, unprejudiced, non-political picture of the government of which you are a part and partner? That picture is now for the first time put before the American people. Frederic J. Haskin, in his book, “The American Government,” has set forth the story of the actual workings of the great gov ernmental machine in a manner at once so skillful and accurate as to win the commendation of our greatest states men, Republican and Democrat alike, and which will quicken the pulse of ev ery American who reads it. The lid of the YHhite House is lit erally lifted off that yoti may see your presidents as though you lived with them, what they are, what they do, how they live.

Candler. They were waiting for Mr. Candler when he arrived on his way to his of fice, and they kept him so long that he was finally obliged to beg off. Other wise he would be there yet, as the citi zens kept on coming and all of them wanted to shake his hand. Mr. Candler himself feels and shows the need of rest.
