“The Written Lines of
The Record’ Commented
On by Smith Headquarters
Hoke Smith headquarters in the
Piedmont hotel Tuesday issued the
following statement:
Inasmuch as “the written lines of
the record that look Hoke Smith
straight in the eye” are being em
phasized with such earnestness and
unction by that eminent political ex
pert and record keeper, Mr. James A.
Hollomn, “it is well to bear in
mind the entire record, as well as
those portions which Mr. Hollomon
is quoting for the purposes of his
column.
Mr. Hollomon makes much of the
Atlanta convention on May 18. The
point he tries to make is that Sen
ator Smith aided Thomas E. Watson
in defeating a resolution indorsing
the Democratic administration. He
summons Mr. Watson to corroborate
him. But he summons only one of
Mr. Watson’s records. Mr. Watson
has written two records of what
transpired in the Atlanta convention.
The first was written May 24, six
days after the convention, in the
first issue of his paper, the Columbia
Sentinel, following the convention,
it was written before he became a
candidate for the senate. This record
shows that he prevented the Hoke
Smith delegates from passing a reso
lution indorsing the administration,
and did it at the instance of a Palmer
delegate. This record is not used in
Mr. Hollomon’s review of “the writ
ten lines of the record.” It reads
as follows:
We had obtained the best set
of resolutions the complicated
situation admitted of; we had se
cured the best possible delega
tion to San Francisco; we had
had absolute control of the con
vention; there remained only a
of the counties for the
three candidates—a mere for
mality.

straightout condemnation of the
league, and a straight defeat

straight condemnation of his
monstrous usurpations of power.
Suddenly a Palmer delegate
whispered to me: “Adjourn the
convention!
“Smith is sending orders to his
delegates to indorse the adminis

vote with the Smith delegates,

the convention, Senator Smith
stated that ‘we have whipped
them.’ Whom did they whip?

Another Omission
Despite the “righteous” Mr. Hollo
mon’s protestation that he believes
in “publishing the written and spbk
cn record of a public official correct
ly, and without the changing of one
jot or tittle,” he proceeds to <;ay that
the Smith delegates refused to ap
prove the Randolph resolution in
dorsing the administration, but in
his “fairness” he fails, or refuses, to
add that the reason this was not in
dorsed was because the Second para
graph of this resolution contained an
indorsement of the League of Na
tions with only explanatory reserva
tions. The first half, the Smith.dele
gates would have supported, but the>
Palmer leaders, although urged to do

and submit each part separately.

THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL.
the record, he would have printed all
of the resolution and not simply the
part that suited his purpose The
Palmer loaders did not want the
Smith delegates to Indorse the ad
ministration, otherwise they would
have presented the first half of this
resolution alone, and the Palmer del
egate would not have run to Watson
to get him to adjourn the convention,
when Senator Smith’s delegates were
trying to get before the convention
a resolution indorsing the achieve
ments of the democratic party.
The resolution, sent to the conven
tion by Senator Smith with the re
quest that it be adopted, and the
adoption of which Mr. Watson, in
conspiracy with the Palmer delegates
•—according to his own paper—de
feated by adjournment, was as fol
lows: .
“Wo indorse the splendid
achievements of the Democratic
congress and administration, and
confidently predict overwhelming
Democratic victory in the fall.”
The day after the convention ad
jorned, Senator Smith gave out an
interview in which he expressed re
great that the convention did not in-,
dorse ratification of the peace treaty
and League of Nations with proper
reservations.
It is silly for Holloman to print
an alleged statement by Senator
Smith that “he was not in favor of
the League of Nations with any kind
of reservations, but ‘against the
whole d—d thing.’ ” Senator Smith
never made any such statement.
Those who have known him for years
know that he uses no such language.
The Mansion Conference
And another recent event concern
ing which the record seems in dan
ger of becoming confused is the con
ference held last Saturday at the
governor’s mansion to decide the
question whether Governor Dorsey
should run for the senate.
Two different records concerning
that conference have been written by
Mr. Hollomon. One was the record
appearing Sunday in the Atlanta
Constitution, declaring that the con
ference was “unanimous” in desir
ing Governor Dorsey to make the
race. The other is the record ap
pearing Tuesday in the Atlanta Con
stitution, admitting that the vote
was considerably divided —77 for and
25 against his entering the race.
The first Hollomon record pub
lished in the Constitution Sunday,
August 1, used the following lan
guage :
It was the unanimous verdict
that the Democracy of Geor
gia desired, above all things
else, that Governor Dors-.y
make the race.
This record was corrected Mon
day by Dr. C. B. Bush, legislative
representative from Mitchell coun
ty, who was present at the confer
ence and advised the governor, as
did many others, not to enter the
race and divide the opopsition to
Thomas E. Watson. In his correc
tion Dr. Bush said;
This rec C , —NcofiinncerT up u
A conference of about 100 of
the governor’s friends was held
at the mansion Saturday. I
would not refer to it, but it has
already been given out, and the
statement made in the Constitu
tion that the action of the con
ference, soliciting the governor
to run, was unanimous. This
publication does not state the
facts. The action of the con
ference was 76 to 25, and a num
ber of those present expressed
the opinion that ths governor
could not carry their counties.
Dr. Bush’s corection of Mr. Hol
lonion’s record of the governor’s
mansion conference brought forth
the second and different account of
what transpired, and in this account
Mr. Hollomon says:
When the vote was put to re
quest Governor Dorsey to make
the race for the senate, the vote
stood 77 to 25, the closest per
sonal friends he has in the
world, men as near to him al
most as his brothers, voting
among the 25. Therefore, itCwas
in fact—and I write this only be
cause a friend of the governor’s

ment,' the publication of the
actual facts necessary—a vote
of 77 to 25 on a motion “request
ing” the governor to run, and
not 25 against the governor
entering tho race.

LEAGUE WILL USE
STRICT BLOCKADE
TO ENFORCE PEACE
———
SAN SEBASTIAN, August 3.—The
League of Nations council today
accepted the principle of a strict
economic blockade to be used to iso
late offending nations from the rest
of the world.
It was decided that this blockade
would be used to preserve peace
even when states which are mem
bers of the league quarrel with non
member nations.
A recommendation of action was
prepared for submission to the
league assembly at Geneva, asking
appointment of a joint commission
of the assembly and the council,
authorized to prepare the procedure
for the blockade.
During debate preceding adoption
of the blockade plan, it was pointed
out that failure to provide the league
with a naval or military force left
the blockade its sole weapon. It was
agreed the blockade was a very ef
fective weapon, however, and that
mere knowledge that it could really
be established would be sufficient to
deter would-be violators of interna
tional law. One suggestion was that
a central organization be formed to
handle plans for preventing non
members of the league from trading
with states which are under bl6ck
ade, and to help the members defend
their commercial interests while
their markets were temporarily cut
off by the blockade. P laris are be
ing effected under which all the na
tions would co-operate to 'minimize
commercial losses due ,to a block
ade.
Before adopting the blockade, the
league council heard presentation of
three important subjects for its con
sideration: M. Bourgeois submitted
plans for an international court of
justice; M. Tittoni explained the
blockade and M. Decusna presented
a scheme for an international health
organization. •
Bourgeois detailed the proceedings
at The Hague of the international
commission authorized to form a
world court. He explained that un
der its findings there would be eleven
judges who would be elected by con
current vote of the league assembly
and council, also four alternates, and
that this panel would be changed
every nine years.
He explained the plan under which
cases between disputing nations
would be tried. One of the first acts
of such a court would be the re-in
terpretation of all treaties, it is ex
pected, so they would constitute a
solid ground work for further pro
ceedings. The council, it was pre
dicted, would make only minor
changes in this world court plan.
Decusna’s proposition provides for
creation of an international health
bureau with headquarters at the seat
of the league, its duties being to draw
up international agreements for mu
tual aid in fighting epidemics and
also to bring the nations into federal
agreement on the means of combat
ing disease.
Bandits Lock Officials
In Bank Vault and
Escape With $20,000
MOLINE, Ills., August 3.—Six
men entered the Commercial Savings
Bank here today, locked bank offi
cials in the vault and escaped with
$20,000 after a running pistol fight
with citizens and police. Charles
Mohler, a barber, was shot and prob

Hardwick Ridicules
Walker’s Attack
ROBERTA, Ga., Aug. 3.—Thomas
W. Hardwick, speaking here Monday
afternoon in the interest of his can
didacy for governor, caused much
amusement amongst his 200 hearers
by his answer to Clifford Walker’s
attack on him for representing Lud
wig Martens, the Sovie envoy. He
declared that he was sure no one
who could pay so large a fee as
Martens would ever employ Walker.
Mr. Hardwick made his usual
speech with reference to state and
national issues, and his addresses
' rouyht forth frequent applause.
there. And finally because of delays
in the mail hfe stopped writing to his
family.
Seven years ago his father died, and
every effort was made to reach Cant.
Finally, through an advertisement in
a Boston paper, he was found.
He has never averaged more than
$22 a month as a farm hand but man
aged to save a little.
“I didn’t marry,” says he, “because
I didn’t see a girl over here that I
wanted. But there is a little Scotch
girl on the other side and if she’s
still there I’ll bringhe rback to the
best country in the world.”
Earm life for Kim
The estate left by Cant’s father
amounts to nearly $2,000,000 and
David’s part has increased because
of the seven years that have elapsed
since it was left to him.
“But I’m always going to work on
my farm,” says he. "The world is
too much in need of food for any
man who knows farming to be idle.”
ATLANTA NURSE
IN POLISH ARMY
WRITES OF WAR
An Atlanta girl in Poland, former
ly a nurse with the Emory Unit, is
face *to face with warfare as it is
waged by the Bolshevists and de
clares she was “never so interested
and thrilled’’ in her life.
She is Miss Celia Johnson, former
ly of North Carolina, who was a
nurse in Atlanta when the Emory
unit was organized. She went over
seas with the unit and returned to
Atlanta with them, working here as
a Red Cross nurse*until last April,
when she volunteered for service in
Poland with the Red Cross.
Miss Johnson was in Vilna, Po
land, for several weeks, where, she
wrote under date of July 6, "we are
going to turn this hospital over to
the Polish people August 1, pro
vided we don’t have to hunt the tall
timbers in the meantime.”
Her provision came true a little
sooner than she expected, for the
next letter to Atlanta friends was
postmarked Warsaw.
“I am safe,” she wrote July 9.
“We left Vilna Friday night in a
box car. Saved our baggage and, we
hope, our hospital equipment. Late
last night the Bolshevists were ham
mering away, but hadn’t taken the
town.
“Have never seen such an orderly
evacuation. Everybody and every
thing went as quietly as if we were
just closing up after finishing our
work. We were actively under
Polish military orders, as Warsaw
didn’t know if the immediate dan
ger isn’t very much the invasion of
the Bolshevists.
. “The situation in Poland is quite
critical. A transport has been or
dered to wait in Danzig to take care
of the Americans in case we have
to make a getaway.
"I am to remain in Warsaw for a
few days. Will either have a hospi
tal train assignment or work in the
new hospital to be opened here
shortly. Six nurses go to Bialstayk
tonight to help take care of the five
thousand orphan kiddies that will
come through the orphanage in the
next ten days.
“There are so many interesting
things to tell you, but I haven’t time
to write more today. I am well and
was never so interested and thrilled
in my life before.”
Miss Johnson is the third nurse
from the southern division of the
Red Cross to serve in Poland. The
others were Miss Emily Porter, of
Lebanon, Tenn., and Miss Emma
Wilson, of Blount City, Tenn., both
of whom returned home recently.

Recent Figures Show
High Prosperity Among
Negro Cotton Pickers
Some Interesting figures recently
put out by Martin V. Calvin, statis
tician for the state department of ag
riculture, indicate that the money
gained by Geogia negro women and
children in harvesting 60 per cent of
the state’s cotton crop since 1903 is
a most important economic factor,
and that if the negro population thus
concerned had been as frugal and as
saving as Japs or Chinese, the
chances are that they now would be
owning a large proportion of the best
cotton lands of the state.
As it is, the figures show that the
negroes have done pretty well. Mr.
Calvin’s report says that In 1907 the
negro women and children of Georgia
earned $8,371,447 picking cotton, and
in 1913 $10,558,065.
A good deal of these earnings
seems to have gone into land, as ne
groes owned 1,450,000 acres of farm
land in 1907, and by 1919 the amount
had risen to 1,760.000; while the doz
en years from 1907 to 1919 their live
stock Investments had increased 104.6
per cent, they owning in the last year
live stock to the value of $12,443,682.
In the same period Georgia negroes
increased their property valuations
from $25,904,822 to $54,858,301—a
gain of 112 per cent in land and
i household furniture.
HARDING’S LEAGUE
POSITION ELATES
G. 0. P. OPPONENTS
DAYTON, 0., Aug. 3. —Demo-
cratic leaders close to Governor Cox
here profess to be elated over what
they call “the reaction” throughout
the country of Senator Harding's
speech of acceptance.
They claim that the Republican
nominee by his declaration for peace
by congressional resolution, al
though witn a promise for a new as
sociation of nations, will justify
them in making a campaign issue on
the broad ground of "league or no
league.”
It is apparent that upon this gen
eral principle the Democrats here,
regardless of conflicting views on
what reservations may be necessary,
are willin- to make a campaign.
Before the Harding speech, friends
of Governor Cox said they feared
that the Republican nominee would
make the campaign a continuation of
the long senate treaty war by forc
ing a light mainly on reservations. It
is known here that Senator Hitch
cock and other prominent Democrats
who soon will start speaking cam
paigns in the middle west will stress
their claim that a vote for Senator
Harding means that the United
States shall not enter the present
league under any conditions.
From a source close to Govern
or Cox, it was learned that nis be
lief is that the Harding speech has
awakened the nation’s inteerst in the
league issue. Apparently the gov
ernor believed that the public lost
interest in the long senate fight and
for this reason was reluctant to
enter a campaign squabble over res
ervations.*
• Provisions are being made to han
dle a huge crowd here Saturday,
notification day. Citizens have been
asked to open their homes to vis
itors and several long trains of
Pullman cars will be parked in the
railroad yards here.
A voice amplifier that will enable
between 75,000 and 100,000 people
to hear the governor’s speech, is
being installed.
Governor Cox will continue his
work on Ohio executive business.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the ‘vice
presidential nominee, is to be Fov
ernor Cox’s guest for the notifica
tion. Although the governor had
hoped to attend Mr. Roosevelt’s noti
fication August 9, at Hyde Park.
N. Y„ conferences next week with
party leaders on campaign plans and
arranging his own speaking itinerarv
may preclude the trip to the Roose
velt event. The presidential nominee
plans to spend most of next ween
here cleaning up party and personal
affairs, to start his first extensive
speaking trip week after next, prob
ably in Northern New York and New
England, after addressing the Ohio
Democratic convention at Columbus
August 17.
Today was the first registration
day for the Ohio primary elections
August 10, but having a residence in
a country township where Trail’s
End is situated, Governor Cox is not
required to register.
Governor Cox announced today he
would speak in Chicago early in Oc
tober. He stated that he had ac
cepted an invitation of the Chicago
Chamber of Commerce for an address
before that organization.
Inspired apparently by reports of
"Cox luck,” which are proverbial in
Ohio politics, harbingers of good
luck are pouring in on the governor.
He received today a feather
weight horeshoe worn by Lou Dil
lon when she established the world’s
trotting record for a mile in two
minutes flat at Readville, Mass., Au
gust 24, 1903.

STOCK BREEDERS
OF STATE PRAISE
BAHNSEN’S WORK
Many livestock breeders from va
rious sections of the state testified
Monday afternoon before the legis
lative committee investigating the
office of the state veterinarian, Dr.
Peter F. Bahnsen. Their testimonj’
was to the effect that Dr. Bahnsen’s
work in connection with hog cholera
control and tick eradication has re
sulted in great benefit to the live
stock industry of Georgia.
More than a dozen witnesses were
examined, being placed on the stand
by the defense and examined both
by Judge Joseph sE. Pottle, counsel
for Dr. Bahnsen, and Attorney Wil
liam Schley Howard, counsel for the
prosecution. The evidence brought
out Monday was in support of the
contention that Dr. Bahnsen has
rendered prompt, efficient and satis
factory service to the dairy and live
stock interests of Georgia. The pros
ecution is attempting to show that
the state veterinarian has been
guilty of misconduct in office and
has distributed hog cholera serum
at a personal profit.
In cross-examining the various
witnesses Attorney Howard sought
to show that the development of the
livestock industry in Georgia has
been forced by the ravages of the
boll weevil rather than by any work
of the state veterinarian.
The witnesses testifying for Dr
Bahnsen on Monday were W. H. Pea
cock of Cochran; W. H. Roddenberry,
of Cairo; E. E. Mack, of Thomas
ville; Judge John S. Candler, of At
lanta; Sam McGarrah, of Plains; J.

War Reports Cause
Weakness in Cotton
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 3. —Pro-
nounced weakness was shown by
cotton today with selling persistent
and heavy and done mainly on the
unfavorable reports concerning hos
tilities between Russia and Poland.
Following confirmation of the early
rumors that armistice negotiations
had been broken off there was ■ a
break to more than $6 a bale under
the closing quotations of yesterday,
the active months showing losses of
104 to 127 points. October dropped
to 29.48 cents a pound.
Slumps in foreign exchange, and
particularly the early break of 4
cents in the rate of sterling, served
to intensify the effect of political
news.

COX TO CARRY
WILSON STATES
IN FAR WEST
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
623 Riggs Building.
BY THEODORE TIX.T.F.B
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3. —Return-
ing to the heaquarters of the Dem
ocratic national committee, Repre
esntative James F. Byrnes, of South
Carolina, who has completed a tour
of the Pacific and far west states,
predicts that Governor Cox, the Dem
ocratic nominee, is going to carry
most of the states that made the
election of Woodrow Wilson possible
four years ago.
Representative Byrnes says: “Aft
er visiting California, Wash
ington, Wyoming, Montana and other
western states, I am confident that
Cox will carry nearly all of the states
carried by President Wilson four
years ago. Where a year ago the
Republicans confidently claimed all
of the west, they now admit that it
is a ‘horse race’ in that section of
the country. Westerners regard Sen
ator Harding as the candidate of
Penrose and believe the ‘old guard’
were so confident of winning that
they concluded to risk one who had
always proved true to them. The in
dependent westerner Is asking what
the senator has ever done to justify
bis selection. They say that in
stead of a platform, the Republicans
at Chicago constructed a fence and on
the fence placed a straddler. Know
ing Cox’s record, they expect him to
knock the Republican candidate off
the fence before the campaign is
over.
“Democrats admit that prior to the
Republican convention, the Republi
cans seemed to have the better
chance, but since the convention,
western Democrats have become op
timistic, while gloom has settled
over the camp of the Republicans. I
feel confident that Cox will carry
Montana, Utah, Idaho, California,
and that the Democrats have the best
of the fight in Wyoming, Washington
and Colorado.”

Pet Canary’s Funeral
NEWARK, N. J., Aug. 3.—-The
scriptural assurance that sparrows
shall not fall unnoticed was given
tangible application to a pet canary
bird today. Jimmie, the little song
ster, choked to death yesterday on
a watermelon seed and so grief
stricken was his owner, Emidio Rus
somanno, a sixty-five year old cob
th«t friends con.rib<ite*<
for a funeral, including a hearse,
five mourners’ coaches and a fifteen
piece band.
“He sang, ah! so sweet—like Ca
ruso!” sobbed the cobbler, as the
little, plush-lined casket, six by 12
inches, was lowered into the grave.
He plans to erect a monument later.
