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 MISSING MAN PUZZLE TO MANY Only Six Correc^ Answer* to the Ten Problem* MARY JIM WELCH FIRST PRIZE Jm.

Signal honor was paid the repre sentatives of the banner and gold star counties as the banners won by them were presented. J. J.

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, when several speakers and workers were heard.

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 be traversed and the parade will make its way to the Tabernacle and enter into the final session of the convention. The parade will form at the state capitol and move at 6:30 o’clock. There will be five divisions. In the first division, commanded by J. V.

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. •' .'4 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, states that Captain Rethorse and twenty men of the Thirteenth avalry had dispersed the largest surviving band of VilUsta bandits at daylight Friday.
