Judge Eugene E. Cox was greeted
by an audience that filled the court
house Saturday afternoon when he
arrived to deliver the opening speech
in his campaign for the office of Con
gressman from this district. Judge
Cox was accompanied through from
Camilla by several friends and there
were also quite a number people from
Worth, Turner ahd Colquitt counties.
In the audience were a number of
ladies, who were interested listeners.
Two stenographers, neither repre
senting the press, took down the
speech. The Moultrie band furnished
music.
Judge Cox was introduced to the
people by Sheriff J. M. Shaw, who
said that he took pleasure in present
ing the candidate to the voters of
Tift county, and felt that the city
and county had been honoredthrough
Tifton having been selected as the
place for the opening of the Judge’s
campaign. Mr. Shaw predicted that
Tift would give Mr. Cox a majority
of the rotes cast for Congressman at
the coming primary.
His speech nay be classed un
der two heads, his platform of con
ductive legislation, and criticism of
his opponent's record. His platform
includes preparedness, a merchant
marine, pension reform, divorce of
public service from ihe trusts, hands
off of Mexico and the maintenance
of the sovereignty of the states.
Judge Cox spoke for nearly two
hours, devoting the most of that time
to criticism of the record of the pres
ent incumbent, stating among other
things that Judge Park waa a migh
ty good introducer but a poor pro
ducer, and referred especially to the
resolution that Mr. Park had entered
consisting of 108 words, allowing the
president to take Mexico by treaty,
purchase or conquest. This resolu
tion. said the speaker, would have, if
carried out, set aside the constitution
of the United States and would have
thrown the country into turmoil, but
the only effect the resolution did have
was to bring forth some more or less
humorous comments from the press,
because it never got any further than
the committee’s files, where it still
rests in peace. At the time it was
introduced, the administration
straining every nerve to preserve
peace at home and abroad.
Judge Cox made frequent refer
ence to the claims that Judge Park
made for the support of the voters of
the district because he had establish
ed the Old Field School in Worth
county a-number of years ago. He
said that the Congressman had sue
ceeded in getting considerable of his
champaign literature about this par*
ticular matter into the Congressional
Record and franked over the district
at the expense of the taxpayers, men
tioning especially the Franklin K.
I.ane article, which had been writ
ten into the Record after some no
table subtractions, and Champ
Clark’s speech referring to Park as
rhe “baby congressman.” A page
write-up in the Atlanta papers of
this school was purely campaign
literature.
He said Judge Park’s bills includ
ed about everything, from establish
ing a sweet-shrub • station in Miller
county to the conquest of Mexico.
Some of these bills had beqr. intro
iluced as many as three times, amt
only cue ^ had been followed to the
committee room. The bill proposing
a survey for a canal connecting tht
Oemulgee and Flint rivers content
plating the expenditure of million,
had contained only 98 word*. That
for a bridge across the Flint near
Newton was a dangerous precedent
] and that proposing a pension for d
iolaced rural mail carriers would
nave opened the-way for the pension
of every retiring postmaster.
Judge Cox said that he was very
much opposed to the practice of gov
eminent officials using patronage
holders to further their interests in
campaigns, and while on this subject
remarked: "I am makifig this race
wearing no man’s collar, nor ham
pered by any promise to any man that
I wil! pass out to him any public
patronage I might hayc the.handling

The feature of Tuesday’s sessions
of the Georgia Sunday School Con

association and the adoption of plans
for the work during the coming
years, says the Constitution. D. IV.
Simms, general secretary; Miss Flora

urer of the association, reported that
the sum of $13,000 had-been spent
during the year in the work.
Signal honor was paid the repre
sentatives of the banner and gold
star counties as the banners won by
them were presented. J. J. Eagan,
as president of the association, in his
report, stated that only a very few
counties of the state are as yet un
organized.
Today's program began with an
early morning prayer meeting, con
ducted by W. C. Vereen, of Moultrie.
At 8:30 o’clock the convention as
sembled at the Tabernacle church,

Preparations for Parade.
Elaborate preparations are being
completed for the Bible class parade
scheduled to occur at 6:30 this even
ing. In tiiis Sunday school parade it
is expected that some 2,000 men and
boys will take part. The principal
streets of the downtown section will

this section.
Captain Charles A. Stokes will
command the third division, which
will consist of officers and workers
in the various county organizations
of the state, together with superin
tendents and teachers of Sunday
schools, __
The temporary organization was made permanent except
that Senator Ollie M. James, of Kentucky, was made permanent
Chairman. His address was cheered vociferously, especially
his eulogy of President Wilson’s victory over Germany in the
Sussex case, the mention of which started a Wilson demonstra
tion which lasted for over a quarter of an hour.
James was forced by the insistent demands of the dele
gates to report his declaration that, “Without orphaning a sin
gle American child, without widowing a single American moth
er, without firing a single gun, Woodrow Wilson wrung from
the most militant spirit that ever brooded over a battlefield
an acknowledgement of American - rights.”
The demonstration which followed lasted for sixteen min
utes, despite the terrific heat. Headed by Virginia, the various
delegations marched through the hall singing, “'ITiere’ll be a
Hot Time,” and "Onward Christian Soldiers!” the former war
song of the Progressives.
When told that the New York delegation would cast its
for Marshall, smiled and stated that, “Marshall will be nomi-
vote for Gerard for Vice-President, Thomas Taggart, manager
nated on the first ballot.”. It is believed that the New Yorkers
would rather support some one else than Marshall, and merely
wish to be ilk. a strategic position should'an unexpected opposi
tion to Marshall develop.
After the James speech, the convention adjourned until
4 o’clock tonight, when the nominations will be made.
Before recess, the galleries started a demonstration for
Bryan but he had left the building.
Order wa* restored only when Chairman James promised
that Bryan would address the convention later.

St. Louis, Mo„ June 16.—The delegates and leaders who
have been fighting to shorten-the convention won a victory
today when the Rules Committee decided that the nomination
for President and Vice-President will be made at 8 o’clock
tonight.
The platform will be adopted tomorrow and the conven
tion will adjourn sine die, despite the protest* of .file Commit
tee on Arrangements Ulat it had been agreed with the hotel
men, who donated a hundred thousand dollars, to keep the
convention in session for four days.
Another important development of this morning was the
drawal of Roger Sullivan as a Vice-President candidate
withdrl
and the announcement that the New York delegation will cast
its vote for James W. Gerard for Vice-President.
Sullivan’s entry and withdrawal is regarded as an effort
to convince the Administration that he instead of Senator Lewi
should be consulted about the Illinois patronage.
Columbus, New Mexico, June 13.—A radiogram received
here from General Pershing’s headquarters, dated yesterday,
