Senator Smith declared that the Constitution has been in continual po litical alliance with Mr. Watson since the commencement of the governor’s race in 1908, when they used him to accomplish his (Smith’s) for re-election as governor. He said: “I scarcely need remihd you that in the presidential primary eight years ago. when President Wilson and Senator Underwood were the candi dates in Georgia, the Constitution used Mr. Watson to accomplish the defeat of the president. They actual ly made Mr. Watson a delegate to the Baltimore convention.” Continuing, Senator Smith stated that the Constitution and Mr. Wat son, chiefly Mr. "Watson, accomplish ed the election of Governor Dorsey for his first term. , - “Indeed,” declared the senator, “Mr. Watson has charged, and the charge hasn’t been denied, that Gov ernor Dorsey went to his (Watson’s) home at Thomson and spent the night with him before announcing his candidacy for governor.” Senator Smith added that Governor Dorsey and Mr. Wataon were recent ly in close conference at the Kimball House, in Atlanta, according to Mr. Watson’s own statement, and that in the recent presidential primary the Constitution was Mr. Watson’s prin cipal vehicle for publicity. “But, my friends, I want to re-, mind you there has never been a time in the past fifteen years when the Howells have succeeded in an elec tion without the aid of Mr. Thomas •B. "Watson,” remarked Senator Smith. “He has been their chief political as sistant for years.” “Notwithstanding the relations that have existed between Mr. Wat son and the Constitution, the Con stitution professes to fight me be cause of my alleged relations wtth Mr. Watson, yet Mr. Watson himself has declared publicly that I have neither Spoken nor written to him in twelve years." Fake Tobacco Tax Senator Smith called attention to the financial difficulties in which the state now finds itself under the administration of Governor Dorsey, and remarked upon the collection by the governor of? 60,000 “fake” to bacco taxes from the merchants of the state, for which the governor paid his collectors 20 per cent. “The tax was illegal, it seems, but only about SB,OOO .has been refunded to the business men of the state frojn whom it was exacted,” said Senator Smith. The senator’s allusions to the to bacco tax aroused a keen interest, for here in ,Dawson, as elsewhere in Georgia, the collection of the “fake” tax has been tfhe source of much comment even among the gov ernor’s close friends. Senator Smith spoke of the fi nances of the state with a clearness and fairness and familiarity born of his experience as governor, and de clared that the empty treasury and pauperized state institutions are not calculated to encourage confidence in the business sagacity of the chief executive. “But little inquiry is needed to demonstrate that the financial man agement of the affairs of the state has been bad,” he said. “If such a record had been made during my administration as governor whole pages of the Atlanta Constitution would have been devoted to telling of my failure.” Before passing to the accomplish ments of the Democratic party at Washington, Senator Smith invited attention to the threatened attack on ALEXANDER HAS GIVEN NOTICE OF HIS CANDIDACY United States Attorney Hooper Alexander, of Decatur, Saturday is sued the formal announcement of his candidacy for congress from the Fifth district, composed of Camp bell, DeKalb, Douglas. Fulton and Rockdale counties, opposing the in cumbent, William D. Upshaw, who is a candidate for re-eiection, and B. M. Blackburn. Alexander headquarters have been opened at Room 502 Kimball house in charge of Robert Ramspeck, well known insurance man of Decatur. Mr. Alexander announce! that he will endeavor to speak in every militia district in the five counties, and that he and Attorney William Schley Howard, former congressman, will speak at the Douglasville courthouse next Saturday. Mr. Alexander, next October, will have served as United States attor ney for the northern , district of Georgia for seven years. He former ly was a .practicing attorney and several times represented DeKalb county in the legislature. the election laws of Georgia and other southern states. “There is now pending in the sen ate a resolution by Senator Moses, of New Hampshire, proposing an inves tigation of our election laws,” he said. “At my instance I was named as a member of the subcommittee of the judiciary committee to which this resolution was referred, and so far I have been able to prevent action upon it. “Mr. Clark Howell, in his candidacy against me for governor, opposed the constitutional amendment which to day frees us from the danger of trouble at our ballot box from igno rant and purchasable negro votes. Governor Dorsey supported Mr Howell in this position. “Interference with our election laws and the race problem is prob ably the most dangerous action threatening our people. lam in sym pathy with our election laws. The suffrage amendment was enacted dur ing my administration as governor, and with my earnest support. I am familiar with* its provisions and heartily indorse its purpose. "I am prepared to defend our suf frage laws, and I believe I am qual ified to perform the service, when the occasion arise. Lay aside ; our personal prejudices and continue my opportunity for service. I believe I am better fitted than Governor Dorsey, who opposed your suffrage laws.” Senator Smith discussed, in detail, all of the great legislative enact ments of the Democratic administra tion, and dwelt at 'length upon the Importance of improving and pro tecting these great measures that have contributed so much to the wel fare of the nation. “I am not seeking re-election to the senate because I want the office, ' he said. “I am a candidate because I believe I can be of service to people of Georgia and because it pleases me to serve you.” GOVERNMENT MAY DROP CHARGES IN BRADSTREET CASE Mrs. Catherine Bradstreet’s ac quittal v at Fairburn Thursday of charges of complicity in the embez zlement of funds of the Fairburn Banking company probably brought her court career to a close, it was indicated at the Federal building Saturday. Department of justice officials ex pressed the opinion that she would not face trial in the United States court for alleged illegal acceptance of the army allotment of her former husband, w. B. Shoemaker, a former Camp Gordon soldier, but that she would pay back to the government the amount of ■ approximately S4OO which she is charged with having ilegally accepted, which would stop the proceedings against her. It became known Saturday that Mrs. Bradstreet has been given an opportunity to return the allotment money and end the case made against her. It also became known that she indicated her willingness to do this a few days after her preliminary hearing before United States Com missioner Colquitt Carter three weeks ago when she was placed un der ?500 bond pending consideration of her case by the federal grand jury. Is Usual Policy Special Agent A. E. Farland, of the department of justice, said the opportunity extended Mrs. Bradstreet to pay back the' amount she received in allotments was in line with the department’s policy. Thousands of allotment checks mailed by the war risk bureau during the war which were cashed by people not legally entitled to them are now being re paid in monthly or weekly install ments, he said. “The government,” said Mr. Far land, “has extended the opportunity to repay allotment money in all cases where technicalities arose or where it was apparent that the money was accepted without wilful intent to de fraud.” In Mrs. Bradstreet’s case it is claimed that she believed herself to be the legal wife of Shoemaker when she accepted the government checks in payment of his compulsory allot ment and the family allowance added by the war risk bureau.

COTTON NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—The cotton mar ket was nervous and unsettled during to day’s early trading, with prices making new low ground for the movement. Weath er reports appeared to be disregarded, with the trade evidently receiving an unfavorable impression from the European political news, and the opening was easy at a de cline of 100 points on August and of 12 to 27 points on later months. There was very little demand for August, which sold off to 31.50 c under liquidation, and later months soon showed net losses of 25 to 51 points, with October selling at 30.43 c and January at 28.70 c under New Orleans, southern and local pressure, accompanied by reports of an easier tone in some of the southwestern spot markets on Saturday. The tone was still unsettled but selling was less active and mid-afternoon prices showed ralleis of 15 or 20 points from the lowest on covering. Rumors that continental importers were temporarily withdrawing buying orders for spot cotton because of unsettled European conditions and that -the southwest was sell ing hedges here had an unsettling effect later. Sellers were also encouraged by the more favorable western belt forecast and the break extended to 30.00 for October and 28.43 for January, or 59 to 94 points below Saturday’s closing. There was enough cover ing at this level to cause rallies of a few points, but the tone of the market was still nervous and unsettled around mid day.

The market received little support on the way down, except from shorts who wanted their profits. The forecast of dry weathtr over the west ern half of the belt is increasing selling pressure materially, and when the market softened under it x. stop-loss orders were reached on the long side. Late in the morn ing prices were 58 to 82 points under the close of Saturday, with October at 29c and March at 27.72 c. Rumors that Warsaw had been taken, made the market weaker than ever and the most severe selling pressure of the session came in th last hour when the active months were driven 86 to 114 points under the close of Saturday, October falling to 28.65 and March to 27.44. There was much realizing on the short side on the'way down but it hardly served to steady the market at the decline. Market closed barely steady at net decline of 88 to 107 points.

Aug. 10.—Political news, the reports of Bolslieviki aggression on a larger scale than ever and rumors that Warsaw had fallen, were mainly responsible for the decline in the cotton market today but some selling was based on the Commer cial Appepal’s crop report, indicating as high a condition as on July 25, when that journal placed the percentage at 76.6 of normal/ While the weather may was not as wet as usual the detailed reports made it plain that too much rain had fallen over Sunday but tills caused no buying of consequence.

S GRAIN LETTER CHICAGO, Aug. 10.—Hesitating market, between reports of fairly good demand on one side and good receipts in the west, with a little freer offerings by dealers. The inquiries noted did not result in the report of any new business. The market is inclined to be flat. Corn started stronger on a rather unfa vorable Illinois report and small receipts for today. Reports of good rains in territory complained of in the Illinois state report caused this item to lose any strength it might have had. General selling led by local and eastern people disclosed a weak mar ket and one practically devoid of resting orders until the market had declined 4 cents for the September. Cash was in poor de mand at 2 to 6 cents decline in face of very light receipts. It looks as though we would have to have some new incentive in order to get advances again. Foreign news was not a feature. Still continue to advise meeting any sharp upturns with sales. Oats were very heavy, not only in* sym pathy with corn, but on their own merits.. Receipts are liberal and cash demand poor". We expect to see them seek loiver levels. Provisions started higher with higher priced hogs and while the weakness in grai* led to a loss of some advance the complex ion of buying .was good. GAIN MARKET” OPINIONS Bartlett, Frazier * Co.: The temper is very bearish and buying poorer small in corn. Oats receipts should be heavier in the near future. Clement, Curtis & Co.: Believe sales on quick upturns should prove profitable on all grains. Press & Co.: Britain received its first full cargo of Manchurian wheat and flour and reports the quality excellent. The prospect is splendid in corn witli exception of crop lateness. We believe final figure on oats crop will exceed all estimates. NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET T X Close.
