Atlanta, July 5—Hon. John St. Sla
ton. president of the senate, yester
day gave out the following interesting
statement:
My attention has just been called
to an article in Sunday's Macon Tel
egraph with box-car letter heading:
Primary Idea Is Strangled by Sla
ton's Ruling."
This article has been preceded by
various rumors to the effect that I
ad opposed a senatorial primary be
cause of the possibility that I would
thereby become governor. I do not
usually reply to newspaper articles
nor current rumors, but the present
conditions so tend to give color and
foundation to the report6. that jus-
ice to myself renders it necessary
that they be corrected.
The provocation of the letter head
ing in the Telegraph was as follows:
A joint resolution was introduced
in the senate providing for a primary
foi the choice of a United States sen-
aior and postponing the election of
senator by the general assembly un
til such primary could be held. Sen
ator Sheppard made the point of or
der that such resolution was out of
older as being in conflict with the

woudl permit no exigency to bq, cre
ated that would dispense with such
primary. If no candidate should re-
teive a majority of the votes cast,
under party rule, there must be a sec
ond gubernatorial primary. Stability
Is one essential of government de
manded by business and sound states
manship, and If overnight changes
can be made to suit occasions, the
conditions in Georgia will be as
changeable as those of a South Amer
ican republic.
Surely, no one man can ask that all
rules be disregarded, and such a dis
astrous precedent set, to further bis
own promotion. Be it said that up to
this time the governor, doubtless rec
ognizing the confusion, expense,
wrangle and discord that must ensue,
has not assumed the responsibility of
announcing for the United States sen
ate. and it is a question whether the
legislature, unsolicited, is willing to
assume such a burden.
After the possible second guberna
torial primary, a general election
must be held, to be succeeded by a
special session of the legislature.
How, therefore, can it be said that
political agitation and unrest were
avoided by the failure to call a pri
mary" T
Furthermore, it is reported that
several statehouse officers intend to
run for the governorship, if vacated.
To do so, they certainly would resign
their positions, which must be filled
by appointment, before they had
hardly begun to fill their terms. This
would mean to fill by gubernatorial
favoritism, offices Intended to lye
filled by popular election, and the
capltol would be a scene of political
trading which would stagger tbe con
fidence of tbe people In representa

♦ AUTOMOBILE NOTES. -4 1
The action of dampness on the rub
ber part of an automobile tire is in
significant, but its effect on the can
vas is serious.
It is an unquestioned fact that cot
ton thread and all other vegetable
fibres of which cellulolse is the basis,
such as flax, jute and hemp offer a
remarkable resistance to heat- and
temporairy. humidity, those atmos
pheric agents which are responsible
for the changes in so many organic
substances.
Following this line of research
some ^experiments were made recent
ly at one of the Micheltn laboratories
during which a piece of cotton fabric
was exposed to the action of sun afid
rain for a month tn the open air.
While this fabric did not lose mom
than 2 per cent of its initial strength,
a piece of calico, after being wet
through and dried in front of a fire
more than twenty times lost only 3
per cent. S>
When the fabric was left in a
moist, atmosphere, such as on the
floor of a damp cellar, for example,
it was not long before spots and
stains made their apeparance.
Such stains denoted the presence
of minhte destructive growths or
tfii.v mushroom organisms, the action
of which reduced til* fabric to mould.
The same is true of wall paper hung
in a damp room. Eventually the pa.
per will fall from the walls in the
form of mould, and dust.
The application of these experi
ments to automobile tires is easily
folowed.
Sometimes an envelope will blow
out suddenly, perhaps when the car
is being used for the first time in
the spring. The cause is weakness
resulting from the decay of the can
vas in the envelope. -In most cases
this weakness is local, being limited
to places where water has been al
lowed to penetrate. The position of
such defective places is easy to lo
cate by the strains left by moisture.
In order to judge of the serious
ness of the damage. It must be de
termined whether the canvas or the
tread only has been affected In
which case the tire can be retreaded
and restored to thoroughly service
able condition. If the body canvas is
affected as well, It becomes neces-
tpry to have the envelope completely
rebuilt.
There is no way whereby this can
vas deterioration caused by damp-
uess can be prevented other than by
string tires in cool places that are
absolutely dry. &

of Milltown, Nevf 1 Jersey, contains In

tive to the care of tires.
