Victims of I)eep-I.#ald Plot.
London June 29.—Evidence which
has been accumulated today shows
that the assassination of Arch Duke
Ferdinand and his wife was the re
sult of a deep-laid plot, which was
not unaided. The calculation of the
fanatical Servian student, Gaverio
Prinzias, the murderer, guessed
rightly. The Arch Duke did not
abandon his original program when
the original bomb, which was thrown
by Pilnzias failed to do Its deadly
work. Prinzias secreted himself in
a secluded spot, where a turn was to
be made by the Boyal procession.
At that point the ducar car was
forced to pause. Some accounts say
that Prinzias stood on the car steps
and fired the bullets.
Hod Wealthy Backing.
A large sum of money, which was
found when Prinzias’ lodgings were
searched, indicated that he was back
ed in his dastardly deed by stron
influence.
Several bom us were found today
along the railway over which the
Arch Duke and his wife would have
traveled.
The inwborn Servian hatred of
the Austrians has driven the Ser
vian students to the belief that their
attacks will make them patriots, and
martyrs in history. The Austrians
are now planning to invoke ero
measures against all Serbs residing
in Austria. This will serve to fur

Some of them had the "gift of

thought is of hit training and ability.
Representing a great state like Georgia in the United
States Senate is a big thing—a full-grown ..ian's job—»
if it is attended to properly.
JOHN M. SLATON is a full-grown public man.
His ability has never been questioned.
Two decades of training in the service of YOU—the
people—comprises an apprenticeship which should
equip him for the office.
SLATON served eight years in the "Legislature—In
the ranks.
SLATON,was then twice chosen Speaker—unani
mously—and served four years more.
SLATON made a great Speaker—the best on record^
say those who know—because he had trained for it.
SLATON was then eleoted to the Senate, twice—and
was elected President twice—unanimously both times
—and he was a great President of the Senate—because
he had trained for the job.
SLATON was Acting Governor a short time. You
remember how well he filled the office, temporarily.
It was because he had been training for sixteen years.
SLATON was then elected Governor, practically
unanimously; not only because he was popular, but
because his trained fitness had been proven.
SLATON has carried out in full his legislate program
in a year. He succeeded because he knew the job. He
1 had trained for it seventeen years.
Fanners and doctors are not made in a day. Neither
are statesmen. They must learn. They muat work up.
They must train.
SLATON has learned, he has worked up, he has
tgainsd. Efficient public service supplanted ephemeral
bombast Results have counted. Knowledge of duty
well done has meant more to Slaton than public
applause.
YOU—the people—need a trained man for Senator.
We offer you the best trained man in Georgia—JOHN
M. SLATON.
