Fight for Mayoralty on
November 26 Seems
Centered in First
A rally, the first to be held in
municipal politics in several years,
was addressed in the First ward
last night by T. S. Mell, opponent
of Mayor A. G. Dudley for re-nomi
nation in the Democratic primary
next Tuesday, November 26.
Mr. Mell said today he has not
planned to make additional speech
es in his campaign, indicating to
some observers that the big fight
in " the mayoralty race will center
in the First ward, where a coun
cilmanic contést is also underway.
J. H. Emerick, well known. First
ward resident, at whose home the
rally was held, introduced Mr.
Mell, declaring that Mayor Dud
ley sent a message to President
Roosevelt that the “wheels are
turning” here in Athens and that
this community did not meed gov
ernment relief when, Mr. Emerick
charged, the hosiery mills headed
by Mr. Dudley were closed and
the workers were idle and hungry.
Mr. Emerick advocated the nom
ination of Pryor F. Johnson, can
didate against Councilman W. H.
Paul. Mr. Mell, however, declined
to comment on Mr. Hmerick's
endorsement of the Johnson can
didacy, saying in the words of
Alexander H. Stephens, “I'm tot
ing my own skillet”.
Mr. Mell asserted that Mayor
Dudley has “been in office ten

years—five years of prosperity and
five years of depression. He has
had ample opportunity to demon
strate what he intends to do. What
has he done? I hear on all sides,

stopped.
“I believe in bringing factories
into Athens”. Mr. Mell declared.

MONEY ALLOTTED BY
CONGRESS FOR DOLE
HAS BEEN EXHAUSTED
New Deal Still Has Power
" To Continue Paying to
Relief, However
9 MILLIONS OVER
Only Answer Received s
That People Won't Be
Allowed to Starve ;
BY D. HAROLD OLIVER
(Associated Press Staff Wiiter)
WASHINGTON — (#) — T h e
money congresg earmarked for the
dole is all gone, but the New Deal
has power to continue such relief
payments a while lgnger out of
i other funds.
~ QOfficial figures disclosed today
that out of $4,880,000,000 appro
’priated last session for work-and
relief, $889,000,000 already has been
lallotu‘d to direct relief (popularly
\known as the dole.) This is $9,-
000,000 more than congress set
|aside for the Rurpose.
' However, the Roosevelt admin
istration does not have to observe
the congressional earmarking
strictly. It has wide powers to |
| shift funds from one category to
| another. l
Questions Raised
With grants still to be made to
22 states before the dole is due so
| end December 1, the figures raised
these questions: i
| Wil there be further dipping into‘
'the $4,000,000,000 works funds for
| direct relief, making that much
lless for jobs?
If so, will the remaining works
funds be sufficient to carry out the
plan to give 3,600,000 persons jobs
by the end of this month at pay
conforming to existing work relief
wages§
I Will direct aid be continued af
'ter the December 1 deadline if
istate and local authorities plead
insufficient funds to take over the
‘burden? ‘
There was no definite answer at
busy relief headquarters today, but
inquirers were given a hint when
officials referred to recent state
ments by President Roosevelt, |

GEORGIAN TO REVI3t
BUOKET ON GEDRE
| ATLANTA — (® — A booklet
on Georgia economic conditions
recently issued by the Atlanta
Georgian today was on its way
back to the printers for corrections
designed to meet objections raised
by rural Georgia editors. |
Herbert Porter, publisher of The
Georgian, announced yesterday cop
ieg of the pamphlet were being re
called to substitute new pages for
thoge describing “rural Georgia” as
a poor market for nationally ad
verdised gopods.
The paper’'s action came shortly
before the Eighth District Press
association at Dougras made public
a resolution charging the Georgian
with a “Gross linjustice to the
state and the rural press.”
Action of the Eighth District
association was simflar to that
TARSH DY THe ~Flvst “District asso
lciation Monday in a meeting a.t{
Statesboro. w
The resolution released at Doug
las by Fred Ricketson, Douglas
newspaper man. and. secretary of
the association, took the Georgian
to task for doing “an injustice” to
the rural Georgia press in a thrust
aimed at an Atlanta competitor,
The resolution, adopted at a re
cent meeting in Adel, asked that]
the association be gilven copies of
letters frcm advertising agenciesl
to which the pampniet was sent
ltestifying that the survey had been
lre(.-a]led and that the Georgian
| “had acknowledged to them the
injustice that hag been done.”
Porter said that in revising the
booklet The Georgian, owned by
William Randolph Hearst, would
make no changes in facts and fig
ures contained in the disputed
pages but indicated the text would
be reworded to clear up misun
derstandings in regard to the pur
| chasing power of “rural Georgia.”
