SAYS HOKE SMITH Senator Declares His Belief That Treaty Will Be Rati fied Under Leadership of Democratic Nominee With of the in creasing interest in the triangular senatorial race reflected by un mistakable evidences of confidence in the re-election of Senator Hoke Smith, the campaign was enlivened Monday by the state-wide reaction from the speech of Governor Cox for mally accepting the Democratic pres idential nomination. Senator Smith and his political ad visers, especially were pleased with Governor Cox’s keynote adress, in which he emphasized his concurrence in the essential points made by the twenty-three Democratic senators wno voted for reservations to the Deague of Nations to protect Ameri can interests. Senator Smith himself summarized the acceptance speech in an inter view, in which he declared, among other things, that “the Democratic p»atform and Governor Cox both rec ognized the propriety of reservations, and I believe the treaty will be rati fied under his leadership.” It is the view of Senator Smith’s friends and advisers that Governor Cox’s speech removes the League of Nations as an issue in the sena torial campaign, excepting in that it establishes that Senator Smith and the Democratic presidential nominee ere standing squarely together on this great international question. Senator’s Statement The people of Georgia, said Senator Smith, who believe in reservations to the peace treaty should be delighted with the speech of Governor Cox. In his two reservations, Gover nor Cox has expressed and em phasized the most essential point in the whole fight made by twen ty-three Democratic senators for reservations to protect American, interests.. We have all believed in a league to preserve peace, operat ing under constitutional limita tions —and earnestly desire its ratification. Governor Cox recognizes the fear of many Democrats that without reservations the league might be a league for war. He proposes to meet this by reserva tions drawn under two principles: First, that the United States joins the league as a league of peace, and not a league to en gage in wars. Second, that the United States assumes no obli gation to go to war except when in any particular case congress, under the constitution, shall so decide. Governor Cox’s plan to meet the various views of Democrats is the work of a great construc tive statesman. We can all agree on his leadership. We can be sure that under his plan we have not assumed a blanket obligation to draft our boys and send them to the future wars of the world. This is the main point for which many of us have contended, and I am delighted that Governor Cox has covered it so completely, and in away to bring all Demo crats together under his leader ship. My position is so well known that it ought not to be necessary for me to repeatedly correct the intentional false statements pub lished in the Constitution. The people of Georgia know that I have insisted on ratifying the treaty with reservations -which will protect American Ideals and interests. I am delighted that the Dem ocratic platform and Governor Cox both recognize the propriety of such' reservations, and I be lieve the treaty will be ratified under his leadership. The optimism of Senator Smith’s friends is not measured alone by the unquestioned effect and significance of the harmony existing between Governor Cox and the senator with reference to the peace treaty. There have been other develop ments over the week-end that are viewed with satisfaction, to-wit:_ 1. The character and the magni tude of the Fulton county support that Senator Smith’s candidacy has aroused. 2. The hearty response that has been provoked by the voluntary and unsolicited commendation of three score and more wounded and inca pacitated ex-soldiers, who ,-have ex pressed publicly their appreciation of the senator's work in behalf of themselves and their comrades. 3. The appeal of Rev. Sam W. Small to the people of Georgia to give their support to Senator Smith and his denunciation of the “per nicious, personal, political propagan da’ that is being used by Mr. Smith’s enemies in Georgia.

ROOSEVELT JOINS COX IN ACCEPTING LEMEJfi ISSUE Democratic Nominee Accepts Place as Vice Presidential Candidate Stands on Party’s Platform HYDE PARK, N. Y., Aug. 9. Franklin D. Roosevelt, if a formal address accepting the Democratic vice presidential nomination, at his home today, joined with his chief, James M. Cox, in accepting the chal lenge of the Republicans to make the League of Nations one of the principal issues of the national cam paign. “The Democratic party,” he said, “has offered to this nation a treaty of peace which to make it a real treaty for a real peace, must in clude a League of Nations.” “Today,” he continued, "we are of fered a seat at the table of the fam ily of nations, to the end that the smaller peoples msDy be truly safe to work out their own destiny. We shall take that place. I say so be cause I have faith —faith that this nation has no selfish destiny, faith that our people are looking into the years beyond for better things, and that they are not afraid to do their part. “Even as this nation entered the war for an ideal, so it has emerged from the war with the determina tion that the ideal shall not die. It is idle to pretend that the far declara tion of April 6, 1917, was a mere act of self-defense or that the ob ject of our participation was solely to defeat the military power of the central nations of Europe. We knew then as a nation, even as we know today, that success on land and sea could be but half a victory. To the cry of the French at Verdun: 'They shall not pass,’ and the cheer of our own men in the Argonne: 'We shall go through’—we must add this positive declaration of our own wills: That the world shall be saved from the repetition of this crime. A Practical Solution “The League of Nations is a prac tical solution of a practical situa tion. lUTs'no'more~per?ect than the original constitution which has been amended eighteen times, and will soon, we hope, be amended the nine teenth, was perfect. It is not anti nation; it is anti-war.” Two great problems, he declared, will confront the next administra tion, our relations with the world and the pressing needs of organized progress at home. Among the most pressing of our national needs, he placed “the bettering of our citizen ship, the extension of teaching to over 5,000,000 of our population above the age of ten who are illiterate, the strengthening of immigration laws to exclude the physically and morally unfit, the improvement in working conditions, especially in the congested centers, the extension of communications to make rural life more attractive and the further pro tection of women and child life in industry.” Reorganization of governmental machinery, which he said has become antiquated especially since the war, also was urged oy Mr. Roosevelt. Homer Cummings, former chair man of the Democratic national com mittee, declared in formally notify ing Mr. Roosevelt of his nomina tion, that the American people have paid a “staggering penalty” for the Republican victory at the polls in 1918. Undisputed in* the “material and moral leadership of the world when the armistice was signed, he said, “who will deny that our title to that leadership has been griev ously impaired if not completely lost?” ~ , “There is but one way out, he added. “It is to redeem Americas word to the world and to assume without hesitation our share of the task of rehabilitating the broken structure of civilization.” The Ceremonies Mr. Roosevelt, who arrived here last evening from Dayton, where ne attended the notification ceremonies of his chief, James M. Cox, last Saturday, arose early to assist his family in making preparations to receive a crowd of 10,000 persons ex pected at Springwood, the Roosevelt ancestral estate, where the cere monies were held. There was no mistaking the fact that this was “Frank Roosevelt’s day.” Pictures of the candidate and his chief were posted conspicuously about the town, while flags and bunt ings gave a holiday atmosphere to the main streets. Former navy men, regardless of their political affilia tion, turned out in full force as did the local lodges of Masons, Odd Fellows and the Grange, to which Mr. Roosevelt belongs. Weather conditions were ideal. A pretty natural setting had been provided for the exercises. The Roosevelt home stands on a broad terrace, several hundred feet above the Hudson and is flanked on all sides by spacious lawns and beauti ful trees. Mr. Roosevelt spoke from the front veranda. The official notification commit tee, headed by Homer Cummings, former chairman of the Democratic national committee, were assigned seats on the veranda and on the lawn directly in front of it. The program began with the singing of the national anthem, followed by the invocation by the Rev. Edward P. Newton, pastor of St. James Episcopal church, which the Roosevelt family attends. Henry Morgenthau, Jr., chairman of the local committee on arrangements, then introduced George White, Democratic national chairman, who in turn presented Mr. Cummings. Mr. Roosevelt, responding to Mr. Cummings’ address then delivered his formal speech of acceptance. The exercises closed with benedic tion by the Rev. David P. Morley, pastor’ of the Regina Coeli Catholic church here, and the singing of “America.” Mr. Roosevelt leaves here Tues dav morning for Chicago, where he will open his- first campaign tour Wednesday evening. The tour, which will last three weeks, will take him to the Pacific coast and back with addresses in fifteen dif ferent states, in seventeen working days. SUFFRAGISTS CLAIM ENOUGH VOTES TO WIN INJENNESSEE Latest Poll Said to Give Ratification Forces Major ity of Three in House and One in Senate WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. —Pro-suf- fragist leaders at Nashville have re ceived pledges from enough legis lators to assure a majority in both the senate and house of the Tennes see legislature, according to telegram to the headquarters here of the Na tional Woman’s party. The latest poll, taken this morning, the mes sage said, gave the ratification forces a majority of three in the house and one in the senate. RATIFICATION URGED BY GOVERNOR ROBERTS NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 9—Gov. A. H. Roberts today “earnestly and urgently” recommended prompt rati fication of the suffrage amendment to the federal constitution in address ing a joint session of bouth houses of the legislature. The legislature met at noon in spe cial session to consider the amend ment. If t acts favorably, approval of th and fina Istate needed to make the amendment ef fective will have been obtained. “The eyes of all America are upon us,” said Governor Roberts. “Ten nessee occupies a pivotal position on this question. Millions of women are looking to the Tennessee legis lature to give the ma voice and share in shaping the destinies of the* republic.” Governor Roberts directed atten tion to the platform declarations, state and national, or both the Dem ocratic and Republican parties. Be lief was expressed that no legal ob stacles exist to prevent action at this session, in support of which the opinion of the attorneys general of the state and the United States were cited. “In th. sincere hope and confident The session opened with both op ponents and proponents of suffrage bringing every possible influence to bear, in the belief that action of the legislature will determine whether or not women will have the baHOT'ITr time to vote in the national elections in November. Headquarters of forces here op posed to ratification of the federal woman suffrage amendment, an nounced today that a delegation rep resenting that body would be re ceived by Governor Cox, Democratic presidential nominee, late today at Dayton. The governor will be asked, it was stated, to throw all his influence against ratification by the Tennessee legislature, which met today in ex traordinary session. The delegation, headed by Mrs. George A. Washing ton, of Nashville, includes Miss Mary G. Kilbreath, of New York, president of the National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage; Mrs. Walter D. Lamar, of Macon, Ga„ and Mrs. W. P. E. Wyse, acting president of the Maryland Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage. Ranks of the suffragists were strengthened today by the arrival of United States Senator McKellar, Democrat, of Tennessee, who an nounced that he was here to do what he could for ratification. Shortly before the legislature was to convene it was learned that suf frage workers will endeavor to ob tai notification by means of a joint i esolution instead of a bill. A reso lution could be brought to a vote immediately, whereas a bill would have to be referred to a committee, with consequent delay and the pos sibility of not being reported out. These parliamentary tactics will be fought by the opponents of suf frage, and should a resolution fail, recourse will be had to the other method. As legislators gathered for the opening roll call of the session, both the, advocates and opponents of suf frage claimed to have the advantage. Politicians asserted the outcome will remain in doubt until the vote is taken. The time for the introduction of the suffrage measure has not been determined. Action will be sought in both houses. Today’s session, It was indicated, will be devoted largely to a reading of the message of the governor, and to admission of new members and the routine business of organiza tion.

Striking Paragraphs From Governor Cox’s Speech of Acceptance of Nomination “I thank God I take up the standard of Democracy a free man, unfettered by promises and happy in the consciousness of untrammeled opportunity to ren der a service/’ “He who turns away from the tragedies and obligations of the war, not consecrated to a sense of honor and of duty which re sists every base suggestion of personal or political expediency, is unworthy of the esteem of his countrymen.” Senator Harding’s pledge of “formal and effective peace sc soon as a Republican congress can pass its declaration, means but one thing—a separate peace with Germany.” “This would be the most dis heartening event in civilization since the Russians made their separate peace with Germany and infinitely more unworthy.’ "This plan would not only be a piece of bungling diplomaby, but plain, unadulterated dishon esty as well.” “No less an authority than Senator Lodge said that to make peace except in company with the allies ‘would brand us ever lastingly with dishonor and bring ruin to us.’ " To attempt, after peace Is de clared with .Germany, to approach Europe with the view to entering “a new relationship” as Senato’- Harding proposed, “would either be regarded as arrant madness or attempted international boss ism.” . “The Monroe Doctrine is the very essence of Article 10 of the Versailles covenant.

It was made by five men it ing trial for moonshining, and Jb' ;e names were withheld. ▼ The still, made of tomato ca >, a gasoline pipe taken from a sma car for the worm, a coffee pot, heate i by canned fire and fruit jars to receive the liquor when it trickled through the worm, was hidden between the walls of two cells. The ingredients were bread and syrup, saved by the prisoners from meals served them. They had stint ed for weeks to accumulate enough sour bread and syrup to make about two gallons of whisky, and had placed the food in the coffee pot. The cans were obtained from the jail yard by one of the men and the dis carded gasoline pipe came from the same place. The canned heat was bought by friends at a drug store nearby and the fruit jars contained sweets brought them by members of their families. The coffee pot was borrowed from the jailer, who also permitted them to have the canned heat when they explained they want ed to make coffee. “The still was just as complete as if all the parts had been made for the express purpose,” Jailer Tom Mc- Commons said, after destroying it. “Those- men know how to make whisky, and would have had the thing in a little while,” he added, with a laugh.

The first duty of the new administration clearly will be the ratification of the treaty.” “One of the first things to be done is the repeal of the war taxes.” “Federal taxation must be heavily reduced and this will be done at once if a Democratic administration is chosen. Annoy ing consumption tax«s, now un justified, should be repealed.” As a possible substitute for the excess profits tax "I suggest a small tax, probably one to one and one-half per cent on the to tal business of every going con cern.” “The public official who falls to enforce the law is an enemy both to the constitution and to the American principle of major ity rule.’ “Senator Harding, as the Re publican candidate, proposes in plain words that we remain out of it (the league).

Soon WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.—Paper suits, much in vogue in Germany ind Austria, will soon make their appear ance in the United States and. if in quiries to the department of com merce can be taken as an indication of the probable demand, they may become even more popular in the lower - the - cost - of-living campaign than was the lowly overall a short time ago. Cable orders for samples of the suits have been dispatched by the department of commerce, it was an nounced today, and when the sam ples arrive they will be displayed not only in Washington, but also in the department’s district and co-opera tive offices located in important cities of the country MfiNYREVENUE BILLS SULL PENDING 111 STATE Measures to Supply, Finan cial Deficiencies Untouch ed, With Only Three Days to Act In With only three more days of the 1920 session remaining, the legisla-i ture has not yet disposed of the pending legislation to raise more revenue, the pending bills to supply the deficiency in the maintenance of numerous state departments and In stitutions, or the legislation to com plete the highway program. These are the most important of all the matters before the legislature, a* all are unfinished with the end of the session looming just ahead. * Appropriations passed by the leg islature and approved by Governor Dorsey in the past three years have been so much in excess of the state’s revenue that there is a fleficit cur rently estimated from $600,000 to $2,- 000,000. The total revenue collected in 1919 was not enough to pay the appropriations for that year, and the total revenue to be collected in 1920 will not be enough to cover the ap propriations already made (in 1919), for the present calendar year. On top of this deficit, the state’s in stitutions and departments in many Instances are finding themselves un able to operate on the maintenance funds allowed them and are before the legislature asking special bills to cover their deficits. Special Bills for $2,000,000 Special bills aggregating $2,000,- 000 were introduced in the house during the present session. The ap propriations committee picked out what they considered the most urgent and Important and reported them back to the house with a rec ommendation that they do pass. These selected bills aggregated near ly $1,000,000, and the house has pass ed them up to the senate. But before passing these appro priation bills, the house had been officially put on notice by a special committee headed by Governor Dor sey that there was no money and would be no money in the treasury to pay them, and had been advised to pass legislation to raise more revenue before It passed a dollar’s worth of appropriations. Accordingly, the house, having been notified of the state’s financial situation, and having informed itself that the facts as stated by the com mittee were not exaggerated, pass ed the income tax bill. This Is a bill to amend the constitution so as to authorize the general assem bly to impose a tax upon all incomes. It would not be a tax in lieu of the existing ad valorem taxes collected by the state, but would be In addi tion to these taxes. Numerous meth ods of raising more revenue had been suggested,: and bills embodying these several methods had been introduc ed, but the special committee recom mended the income tax as the most direct and speedy and expedient solu tion of the problem. Governor Dor sey favored the income tax, and the house put it through in preference to the others. When the Income tax reached the senate, however, it encountered the strongest kind of opposition. The Georgia Manufacturers’ association, the Georgia Bankers’ association and other interests appeared Friday aft ernoon before the constitutional amendments committee of the sen ate to speak against the bill. The committee postponed action on it until Monday afternoon. If the income tax does not pass the senate, then the senate must de cide whether it will pass the sl,- 000,000 of special appropriation put up to it by the house. The senate can pass 'them and let Governor Dorsey take the responsibility of ap proving or disapproving them, or the senate can kill them and leave the state’s institutions short of funds. May Call Extra Session If the senate passes the appro priations without also passing the Income tax bfll, Governor Dorsey, it is believed, will veto the bulk of them and call an extra session to throw the state’s financial problem back to the legislature. That is tc say, he will say to the legislature that there must be more revenue If there are to be more appropriations, and without the former the latter cannot pass with his approval. The governor has gone to the limit of safety in anticipating Increased revenue from increased tax values, and will go no further, it is gener ally understood. So serious is the financial condi tion of the state that there is being urged, as one solution of the prob lem, a bond isue of $5,000,00) to catch up with school teachers’ sal aries, catch up with pensions and catch up with other expenditures which are running far ahead of the state’s ability to pay them. A bill to this effect was introduced in the house early in the session by Rep resentative Brown, of Clark, and another bill of similar import was introduced Saturday in the senate by Senators Flynt arid Os course an emergency bond is sue would require a constitutional amendment, and so would an income tax. Should the income tax bill, therefore, be finally put through the legislature, either in the closing hours of the present session or at an extra session called by the governor, the people would vote on it in< the general election this fall. The highway legislation has about reached a stalemate. The senate has passed the highway bond issue bill and sent it to the house. The house has passed the Knight resolution — directing the highway board to pro rate the automobile fund among the counties pending the issuance of highway bonds —and sent it to the senate. The senate refuses to pass the Knight resolution until and unless the house passes the bond issue bill, and the house refuses to pass the bond issue bill until and unless the senate passes the Knight resolution J and the governor signs it. As both sides are obdurate in the controversy, there appears to be lit tle hope of putting through the high way bond issue bill at this session. ACCEPTANCE SPEECH OF OHIO GOVERNOR IS WARMLY RECEIVED Nominee Marches at Head of 20,000 Democrats in Parade Staged Before Notification Exercises FAIR GROUNDS, Dayton, Ohio, Aug. 7.—The Democratic presidential standard, with the League of Nations and progress its peak escutcheons, today was marched into the 1920 campaign by Governor James M. Cox. A throng of cheering Democrats, estimated variously at between 30,000 and 75,000, witnessed Governor Cox’s acceptance of party leadership in the presidential contest, after' forma] notification by Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, chairman at the San Fran cisco convention, of its choice. To the ceremonies at the Montgom ery county fair grounds, Governor Cox with Franklin D. Roosevelt, his running mate, marched for a mile in a broiling sun at the head of a parade of Democratic delegations which he later reviewed. Their presence in the parade was an eleventh-hour thought of the governor, who had planned merely to review the Demo cratic hosts, which came in thou sands from Ohio and also other states. The parade line alone, sprin kled with two-score of bands, was estimated to contain 20,000 marchers. Kept Hearers Cheering For two hours the governor, in his address of welcome, kept' the vast throng cheering as he gave, with em phasis. his campaign policies. He made the league his paramount dec laration, declaring he stood for American and world peace by its adoption, with "interpretations” pre serving its vital plan. He declared the league was a part of the Demo cratic offering" of progress as against Republican reaction. His advocacy of the league drew lengthy demon strations from his audience and statements of approval from party leaders gathered here for the Demo cratic ceremonial. Two reservations he has suggested to the league covenant were empha sized by the governor, regarding the controverted Article X. He was cheered loudly in comparing it to the Monroe Doctrine, with its peace rec ord. The Democratic legions also shout ed approval of declarations for wom an suffrage, law enforcement —his only inferential reference to prohi bition —reduction’ of taxation, and scores of other issues he proclaimed. Exercis"# Late Starting The candidate’s address closed, as evening fell, a day of Democratic jubilation. Rain early in the day, which threatened to mar the event, gave way to bright sunshine by aft ernoon, with sultry humidity but shortly before the governor conclud ed another light rain poured upon the crowds, causing many to leave and somewhat marring the closing event. The day's program was late in starting. Governor Cox and Mr. Roosevelt did not reach the fair grounds until 2:30. and their review of the paraders continued until 4 o'clock. Governor Cox began his address at 4:40, after Senator Rob inson’s notification speech. The parade was the day’s spectac ular event. In the trail of the Dem ocratic leaders the thousands of cheering Democrats marched down the dusty race track past the speak ers’ stand, with bands playing, ban ners and flags waving, and bearing hundreds of cards paying tribute to their candidates and predicting their victory in November. Further Bolls of Applause With pointed forefinger to vig orous arm thrusts, the governor got more applause as he emphasized his indictment of the Republican plat form and leadership. The crowd also voiced its approval of his declaration that the loss of the league would mean more armament expense. The candidate’s tribute to Presi dent Wilson and his deprecation of Republican "discourtesy 1 ’ given In lowered voice, was given further rolls of applause. A prolonged dem onstration followed his assertion that Republican "sleuthing” had failed to unearth dishonesty In the administration direction of the war. This he hammered in, pounding hfs table in clenched fist. More cheers approved the candi date’s pledge to aid ex-service men. Several demonstrations marked his declarations for consideration of women, including ratification of the equal suffrage amendment. Tired From Effort Repeated thumps of his fist punc tuated the governor’s criticism of Senator Harding’s stand on “party government,” and the audience evi denced its sympathy frequently. The governor delivered only one sentence of his statement on educa tion, jumping to the subject of campaign contributions, and he was cheered when he declared the Demo crats would not attempt campaign dollar competition with the Repub licans. As he closed his address, the governor’s collar was wilted and he appeared somewhat tired, but he turned happily to. meet groups of congratulators. The ceremony closed with the benediction, given by the Rev. Mar tin P. Neville, of Holy Angels Ro man Catholic church. White Opens Program Chairman White, of the national committee, opened the program with a brief address. He stated he was “the happiest man alive” today and also expressed pride that he had been a Democrat for the last eight years. After Mr. Roosevelt had been pre sented to the throng as “the next vice president” and accorded a big ova tion, Senator Robinson delivered his address of notification. “This day Dayton sends a message to Marlon,” Senator Robinson began. “A few years ago Coxey’s army marched on Washington. Another army, Jimmy Cox’s army, will ad- (Ctmtlnued on Page 8, Column 8) 5 CENTS A COPY. $1.50 A YEAR. POLES AGAIN SEEK ■HONORABLE PEACE IS IIOTETO LEAGUE Proposed Ban Against Reds May Be Withheld Until Re sult Is Known of Minsk Conference HYTHE, Eng., Aug. 9.—(By the Associated Press.—The allied con ference here reached a complete agreement this afternoon on plane for dealing with the Russo-Pollsb crisis.

NEW MEETING AT MINSK PROPOSED BY BOLSHEVIKI • LONDON, Aug. 9.—The Russian situation is going before the British cabinet tonight and before Parlia ment tomorrow, according to de cisions reached at the conference between Premiers Lloyd George and Millerand at Hythe today. Premier Millerand planned to start for Paris this afternoon, where the situation probably will be placed before hie ministry. While Lloyd George and Millerand were going over the recommenda tions for military and naval action submitted to them by Marshal Foch, Field Marshal Wilson and Admiral eßatty, the Russians were pounding the forts of Warsaw with artillery, while masses of bolshevik cavalry scoured the country toward the War saw-Danzig railway, the main artery connecting Poland with the allies. The Polish official statement said the “enemy’s massed cavalry” had taken Przanyaz, forty miles nortli of Warsaw. Reds Propose Now Meeting. The situation as it stood today was: Russia, having refused the British profefr of a ten-day peace during which a temporary peace could be aranged, has proposed that another meeting be held at Minsk on Wednesday between Polish and Rus sian armistice delegates to agree on a basis for cessation of hostilities. Meanwhile, however, the bolshevik offensive continues, with many in dications that the reds are determin ed to take Warsaw before making peace terms.
