MACON, GA^ SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 22, 1908 ATLANTA CAMPAIGN WAXES WARM EACH SIDE GATHERING STRENGTH FOR A FAST AND FURIOUS BATTLE The Maddox Organization Is Better Prepared for the Fray BUT WOODWARD'S FRIENDS CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS •So For, th# Campaign Which Has Rant The Capital City From Centar to Circumference Has Been Void of Personal Bitterness. But the Intense Enthusiasm Gathers Strength With The Passing of the Hour* and the Situation le Tense in the Extreme— The Situation Viewed From Stand point of Both Factions. ATLANTA, Ga.. Nov. 21—Not in the history of Georgia has a mors bitter and Intense political struggle torn a community than the one now on In Atlanta between Robert F. Maddog and James G. Woodward, for the may orship of the city. The one consol ing feature Is that It will hr brief, as the election occurs within ten days. However, all the extended bitterness and Intensity of a long campaign are being compressed Into a few days, making the campaign without parallel for energetic effort. Campaign is Hurting Business. Scores of oromlnent business men who have heretofore given no more than a passing thought to any kind of politics, have virtually deserted their usual avocations, and, forgetting their private Interests, are at work heart and soul for one of the candidates. The campaign Is having a seriously de pressing effect on general business, and those who have not b'-en wrought up In behalf of one or the other of the candidates are groaning beneath the burden. Both sides have had thousands of ribbon badges prepared and are dis tributing them amone their adherents. Every other man one meets wears on his lapel a blue ribbon bearing the name '‘Maddox’* or a white one con taining the single word "Woodward.” a custom heretofore reserved for elec tion day only. fc ... ... . Many Clubs Formed. Organized campaigns-are bring wag ed. barely an hour passing without a conference or committee.*;meeting of some kind belnr held. Big clubs aro being formed. This Idea was first adopted by tbe Msddox forces, snd nearly 5,000 names have been enrolled by them alone. Ministers With Maddox. It Is probable tha* at least 500 men • ro devoting all of their time to active work for one or the other candidates, and from a dozen or more pulpits to- morrow the ministers of the city will probably refer to the campaign. They will almost without exception take a atnnd for Maddox. The campaign Is the one .ole, un avoidable topic of conversation. Ro far the dlecusslons have'In the main hren EOod-natured. No personal dif ficulties have occurred, and personali ties have been avoided. Leaders of each Bide often atend the open meet ings of the other, and »v treated with utmost courtesy. While aome speak ers on each side are of the hot-headed variety, most of them keep within par liamentary bounds In tholr remarks. The Issues, The Woodward forces admit Mr. Maddox’s personal Integrity, business ability and hl*h standing. Their at tacks are baaed on the theory that his candidacy la a •■bolting" of tha pri mary and that It la backed by the "kid-gloved” element arrayed against the workingmen. Th« Maddox forces do not deny that Woodward made a splendid practical mayor, and they do not quaatlon hi, personal Integrity or official probity. Their appeal for voter* to act Inde- pendently of the primary Is baaed on the charge that the city cannot afford to have aa Its official head a man who has on several nccaalons departed from the straight and narrow path of strict morality. ■ Thev claim to be lighting’ for decency and good morals. Mr. Woodward does not deny that he once again "looked unon tha wine while it was red" and while under Its Influence erohahlv acted Indiscreetly. Its pleads In extenuation that sueh escapades are not the rule of his life, and Offer* to make amends aa well as the usual nledgea. •They say that the mavor la a mem ber of tha board of education and cornea In dose contact with four bun. deed lady teachers, and thev that I am unlit for aueb association." he said at one of hla meetings last night. "It Is true that the mayor Is * member cf the bosrd of education.

Mr. Woodward’s claim for support, on tha other hand, the in dependent forces say that hie private coodurt condemns him despite hla good Official record. . , There Is little question but that at the present time he la vary strong. If be Is defeated It will be largely due to the superior campaign being waged hv his opponents. Mr. Maddox « friend* are Bearing neither work nor money.

Th*v art. in fact **»Ulre th# superito ****•. Labor Is Back of Woodward. Mr. Woodward’s forces lack orgari- fzailoa, excepting as repreesated by the labor unions, with slight exoep- tlon the union men of the city are for Woodward, and nr* fighting for him on the theory that opposition to him Is an affront to mem. They are appealing to their friends, and to the men with whom they do business. Their Influence, If properly directed, would be almost Insurmountable In Atlanta. The police force of the city Is said to contain 150 Woodward to about 60 Maddox suoporters. Members .of the fire department and other city em ployes are said to be three to one for the former mayor. Street car employes are, It is said, overwhelm ingly for Woodward. The Influence of these forces Is great. However, the Woodward campaign lacks organized effort, as stated. En tirely too much dependertce Is being placed In Individual enthusiasm. It Ls also reported that It Is hampered by lack of funds. Four committee men named on his committee* last night announced for Maddox today. There has been considerable betting, usually at even odds. CONFERENCE IS HEARING^ CLOSE Monday Evening Bishop HossWill AnnonnceHis Appointments GAINESVILLE. Go., Nov. SI.—Hie Saturday morning session of the North Georgia Conference was open ed with the hymn, “Father, I stretch my bands to Thee," etc.. Rev. J. A. Reynolds leading in prayer. The morning lesson was from II Corin thians, 13:1. Bishop Hoss expound ed the gospel forcibly and clearly. In answer to the question: “Who aro the deacons of one year?” Rev. Charles I*. Bass was called. Owing to sickness he wiui unable to appear before the examining committee. He made his report and was continued In the class of the third year. Tho following were passed to the class of the fourth year, after re ports: Robert F. Hodnett, .Miles B. Sams and Horace Stratton Smith'. Oeorgo ">V. Hu milt on and John T. Hicks Wers elected to deacon’s orders as local preachers. The following were elected * to el der’s orders ss local preachers: Ged'. E. Stone. Charles F. Hughes snd Wil liam R. Westmoreland. Upon the call of tho question: "Are all the preachers blameless In their life and official administration." along list answered and the pleasing "Noth Ing against him" was tho chorus. Secretary C. C. Cary announced the allotment of the board of church ex tension. Educational Work. One of the specially Interesting feat ures of the morning session* was the report of Dr. John D. Hammond, the capable general secretary of the educational interests, who spoke of the needs of the church's educational work.

Dr. Gross Alexander, editor of the Methodist Review, was presented to the conference by Bishop Hoss. who declared the Review was never better than now. This was Dr. Alexander's first visit to the North Georgia Con- ferenoc. Those who have never attended the annqal sessions of a Methodist con ference roatlso how much work Is ac complished nor how much of a strain the preaohern and laymsn are In to do this work while the conference lasts. Question of Assignments. It Is understood thit the bishop and his cabinet have practically agreed upon the assignments for the ensu ing year. No Inkling of what these as signments are will be given out, how ever. and those who are anxious to know "who’s who" for the next year will have to wait until the bishop fin ishes reading the appointments Mon day evening. Of course all presiding elders and preachers who have served charges for four years know that they will be moved, but "where?" is the question uppermost In their minds at this time. This session of conference, so far. has been bleezed with Idrol weather. Each day has hern balmy npd spring-like, and It appepm that a better time could not have been had for holding the annual session. The ministers, laymen and com mitteemen have visited nearly all places of Interest In and around Gainesville. Chattahoochee Park, where a magnificent lake can be seen, and a aplendid view of the Blue Ridge mountains obtained on the way out. has hern a favorite place. Now Holland, with It's big million dollar cotton mill, and It's thrtvlnr population together with the great, bubbling mineral spring, which was famous In the old davr. has been visited by many, who have viewed the wonderful transforma tion of the summer resort to a thriving manufacturing center. All the visitors have marveled at. and commented upon. Gainesville’s magnifi cent churches. The First Methodist. Where the sessions are held, has elicited many favorable comments, and tha con- •gramlion has time and again been com plimented upon having so fine an edifice. The new Presbyterian church In the next for committee meetings and It. too. has been th* subject of romnlimentary men* Itton.

IN SEASON’S GREATEST GAME YALE TEAM LOST TO HARVARD Although Defeated Old Ell's Lina Has Never Been Crossed—Winning Ssora Was Made on a Go«il From the Field —Much Brilliant Playi-.g, NEW HAVEN. Conn.. Nov. 21—A crimson tide of banners swept In trt-1 umph over Yale field (n the dying light this afternoon, for the men of Har vard. after aeven long years, had beaten Yale 4 to 0. A goal from tits field, kicked by Victor P* Kennard, of Brookline. Mm, fresh from the side lines and standing on Yale’s 28- yard line with bhe crimson line plant ed on the 16-yard line, was the wln» nlng score as the first half was clos ing. The gam© was a battle of. foot ball giants, the like of which bts not been seen on Yale field. The sons of I Eli can point as a consolation to their goal line, which was not crossed by| a foe of even such worthy mettle. I Man for man the teams were equally matched. Each team's defense was stronger than Its offense, and the bt-st laid plans of each In strategy well- nigh went to naught. There was a critical point In the game and it came la the second half, owing to the fail ure of a forward pass. Yalo had worked the ball to Harvard’s 2S-yard lllne, when Johnson, tho quarterback,[ gave the signal for the piny which I proved so successful against Brown. This time the place for Its execution was the diagonal opposite corner of the field. The ball went back to Pbll* bln, who passed It cleanly over the on-ruahlng crimson forwards to lHaines. But the ball was not thrown more than five yards from the center lllne and thinking tho play was faulty under the rules, the ball went to Har-! vard. A great sigh of relief went up from the Harvard side of tha field,j and not five minutes later tho game ended. *•! That this was a critical moment. Is proven by the fact that throughout! the second half Harvard did not :nee have the ball In Yale's territory anfll yet so stubborn was her def*n«o that; neither Coy with Oils terrific plunges| nor tho tremendous efforts of the Yalo line to open holes were able to push the ball nearer than tho 16-yard line. So well matched v/era tho team* that neither got nearer than 15 ykrd* to its opponent's goal. Tho playa wero in larie mewfiirtul rushes; occasionally there would bo an end run. which were not very mto9M*i. fit’ except when Harvard directed, one against Capt. Burche’s end. * The longest am was by Wheaton of Yale at the kick-off In tho seoonrt half, when ho returned tho hall 35 yards. The longest rush wav by Ver- wlebe, tho ’crimson fullback, who started In tho gamo for Harvard, and this netted 18 yards around the ond.! Aa a whol© the game was rather*cf the old-fashioned type, minus Its ma<s plays by reason of tho neutral zono and tho 100-yard distance. Harvard was at times able to penei tfate the Yalo lino mnro often owing to the speed In which tho lino plays w<re started. Yale was slower than Ilarvard. yet the power whs-there. as was shown In tho second half. Har vard rushed during the entire game slxty-fire times, netting 241 yards, an average of 3 2-8 yards to ft rush.! Yale rushed forty-seven times for a distance of 95 yards, or nearly a yard less per rutfh on the average. Har vard received the ball four »»mcs on on downs, while Yalo failed’to hold! the crimson for downs once, simply because a kick was resorted to-when two rushes had failed to give the needed three yards. This made the ©xnhanges of th" hall frequent and lent spice to the play. Coy nnd Ken- narrl were tlm* and again called upon to boot tho ball out of danger. The ball was handled cleanly after tlieso kicks, tbe only fumblo was by a Har vard back on her lf.-yard line. In kicking, Cov lifted the, ball nine times for a totsf of ail yards, an avsr- n#re of 25* yards. Harvard oalled upon all her full backs to kick and tbs total of their efforts wo* 325 yards for U times and an avsrsge of 29 3-8 yards. There were many penalties. Harvard losing 120 yards on 12 penalties and Yale 65 yards on six penalties. Some of the ground gaining was on the running back of kicks, Harvard netting II yards this way.*In cluding 15 on one kick off and, Yale 60 yards. Including SS. after on# kick offi Ilarvard II fir* UP own* and Yale I. 1 Three forward paste*, one by Harvard, all failed, and of on-side kicks Yale gained 22 yards on one snd failed on two others anti Harvard failed on both of bars. Coy twice from the Harvard 40-yard line, tried what was Intended to be drop kicks for goals and neither was well directed nor pKe’vlctory of Harvard was undoubtedly I due to the quirk Judgment of the Har vard coaches In rending In Kennard tc try for a goal, though ysrwUba, who ha .succeeded, had been plurfDff <finely.® The change In the lineup was tnztantly made for tbe plays were being reeled off rapidly, when came the lineup on Yale’s lf-ynrd llhe. In another second Ksanard st full back had received the ball, and WttlTW hla toe to it. the goal was made amid wild scenes on the Harvard eld* of th" field. .

Nov. 91.—In tha: Syracuse stadium today before - two touch downs wero directly attrib uted to these plays. Minnesota outplayed the Indians an straight foot ball and woulj probably have scored another touch down bad the game lasted a minute longer, at the ball was on the. Indians' one-foot lino with Minnesota battering away the Carlisle defense. The Indians wi re unable to elude the Minnesota ends on the forward passes and also fBmbled frequently. After tha first few attempts Minnesota eaal'.y solved Carlisle’s fake plays. Each team seored a touch down In the first half and each touch down WSs followed by a goal. Minnesota scored one touch down In the second hilf. but failed to kick. Tho Min nesota goal was never In danger In thf second half.

WIs., Nov. 21.—A re- mi rkable 100-yard run for a touch down by Quarterback Steffen gave the western foot ball champlomrtIp to Ch engo today. But for thla run the aedre In the contest between Wiscon sin and Chicago would have been 12 to a. The play was one of the most remarkable ever seen on a western foot ball field. Stelhm for Wisconsin kicked off to Steffen, who got the ball on, his own 10-yard line, near the western side line. Steffen started straight up the field and only two or three times was ho compelled to dodge a tackier. Tho Wisconsin playara seemed dumbfounded «t the rapidity of the play. Steffen ran like a whirl- wind and attempts to catch him wero futile. The touch down was scored probably within thirty seconds from the time the play began. Except the brilliant work of Steffen tbsfe \vas little difference In the of fensive strength of the teams. At Lexington. Va.: Washington and Lee University 17, Flahboum Military Academy 11.
