SUFFRAGE QUESTION
MAY COT FIGURE IN
Tomm™
In many respects tne most inter
esting and important general elec
tion in Georgia in the last decade
is under way today, when the voters
of the state are casting their ballots
for. or against the Democratic prest
denital nominees, and for or against
a portion of the Democratic nominees
for offlcesc in Georgia.
Whether the women would be al
lowed to their ballots was some
what uncertain on the eve of election.
Attorney General Denny has ruled,
that women who have placed their,
names on the registration lists are el
igible to vote in spite of the Georgia
law requiring registration of all
votfers at least six months prior to
the date of an election. As the worn-
Sn were Jiot enfranchised by the
doption of the suffrage amendment
to the federal constitution until after
the six months period had expired,
legal opinion is divided on the cor
rectness of the attorney general’s
ruling.
Generally speaking,' Democratic
white women are not disposed to
complicate the validity of the elec
tion by voting or attempting to vote.
Among negro women, however, hun
dreds of whom have registered in
various large counties, there is a
movement on foot by the Republi
can state central committee to send
them to their respective voting pre
cincts to demand the right 1,0 vote,
and then to test the question in the
courts if they are not allowed to
vote.
Thus the suffrage question en
ters into a Georgia election for the
first time, and the ultimate outcome
may not be determined until the
courts have passed upon it, should
the Republican leaders carry out
their announced intention of testing
the question in the courts.
G. O. F. Victory Just Talk
With regard to the vote of Geor
gia for or against the Democratic
presidential nominees—Governor Cox
and Franklin D. Roosevelt—there
has been talk in some circles of the
possibility of the state going Repub-4
lican, but this is clearly nothing
more than talk. Every Democratic
leader in the state, of whatever fac
tion, is supporting Cox and Roose
velt. The Hoke Smith adherents,
the Clark Howell adherents, the
Thomas E. Watson adherents, the
Thomas W. Hardwick adherents—all
are comfciitted most emphatically to
the support of the Democratic na
tional ticket. So it would seem that
there is hardly any room left for a
Democratic defection. The talk of
Georgia going Republican, in the
Opinion of all political leaders, will
turn out before—to be nothing but
talk.
The fact that Georgia Democrats
of all factional affinations and in
all parts of the state have rallied
frith such enthusiasm and generous
contributions to the Democratic ap
peal for campaign funds, is in itself
an evidence/ that the mass of the
party in the empire state of the
south has no intention of turning
its back upon Democracy.
Nevertheless, the Republican state'
central committee has made it easy
for Georgians to vote the Republican
national ticket while voting the Dem
ocratic state ticket. The evident ob
ject was to open the way for a de
fection of Democrats to Harding and
Cooledge. The committee in prepar
ing the Republican ticket used a
part of the Republican ticket and a
part of the Democratic ticket. Thkt
is to say, it used the names of the
Republican presidential electors;
then the names of Thomas E. Watson
and Harry Stillwell Edwards as can
didates for United States senatori
then the names of the full list of
Democratic nominees for governor
and other statehouse officers.
Confusion in Tickets
A Democrat is liable to use this
ticket by mistake, thinking it is the
Democratic ticket. If he does, his
ballot will be counted for Harding
and Cooledge, for he will have voted
for the Harding-Coolidge electors.
But this “hybrid ticket,” as it be
ing called, is not likely to catch many
Democratic voters, in the opinion of
the principal Democratic leaders of
the state. Democratic- .Voters have
been warned to be bara£uhnot to vote
a Republican ticket by mistake, and
the information concerning the “hy
brid ticket” has been pretty well dis
seminated throughout the state. So
far.as mistakes can be prevented by
a general warning, they will not oc
cur.
But the Republican state central
committee has not stopped with the
“hybrid ticket” composed of a com
bination of Republican presidential
electors and Democratic state house
nominees. It has put four candi
dates in the race for congress, as
follows;
Other Complications
First district, where the Republicans
are running E. S. Fuller, of Savan
nah, against Congressman J. W.
Overstreet, the Democratic nominee
for re-election.
Third district, where they are run
ning A. E. Lockett, of Americus,
against Congressman ~ Charles R.
Crisp, the Democratic nominee for re
election.
Fifth district, where they are run
ning John W. Martin, of Atlanta,
against Congressman William D. Up
shaw. the Democratic nominee for
re-election.
Ninth district, where they are
running Dr. C. L. Barnwell, of Nor
cross, against Congressman Thomas
M. Bell, the Democratic nominee for
re-election.
Thus the Republicans are contest
ing Georgia for presidential electors
—i. e., for Harding and Cooledge;
are contesting the places of four con
gressmen; are giving Democrats and
Republicans an open choice between
Thomas E. Watson and Harry Still
well Edwards for the senate.
There is every Indication and ■ ev
ery reason to believe that the Dem
ocratic presidential electors will
sweep the state; that the Demo
cratic nominees for congress who
have opposition will sweep their dis
tricts; that Thomas E, Watson, the
Democratic senatorial nominee, will
sweep the state; and that the total
Remiblican vote for any or /all of
their candidates will be but a rem
nant. as always heretofore in presi
dential election years.
Before casting his ballot, every
Democrat should examine it care
fully. The Republican ballot is
headed: “Official Republican Bal
lot.’ The Democratic ballot is
headed: "Form of Official Democratic
Ballot.” The principal distinguish
ing mark of difference between the

America Chooses New Chief Today;
■ Both Parties Express Confidence
As Ballots End Cox-Harding Race
Republicans Claim "Over
whelming Victory; ’’ "Cox
and Roosevelt Will Win/’
Declare Democrats'
Cox or Harding?
As this edition of The Tri-Weekly
Journal went to press the greatest
question in America today was about
to be settled.
On Saturday, the long Rattle of
words, with the League pf Nations
as the burning issue, foixnally ended.
The campaigns prosecuted by the
Democrats and the Republicans were
finished.
True, a few minor skirmishes were
the rule Monday. But the contest
for voteis virtually ended Saturday
night when Governor James M. Cox
and Senator Warren G. Harding de
livered their Ifist pre-election ad
dresses.
Monday heard the final toot of the
political horns and saw the ultimate
flare of red fire.
On Tuesday came the voting.
As is usual whenever Uncle Sam
chooses a new ca/jtain for hits ship
of state, both the Democratic' and
the Republican leaders asserted com
plete confidence in victory.
“The evidence of the overwhelm-,
mg Republican victory hourly in
creases,” was the statement of Will
H. Hays, chairmap ,of the Republic
an national committee. “It is now
certain that the Republicans will
have a minimum total of 368 electoral
votes. We will-have a greatly in
creased majority in the house and a
substantial majority in the senate.”
White’s Forecast
Tiffs from George White, chairman
of the Democratic national commit
tee:
“Cox and Roosevelt will win. They
will have a party majority in the
senate and house.”
Socialist headquarters, while mak
ing no claim of electoral votes, pre
dicted that the party would poll the
largest vote -in,its history—3,4)oo,ooo
some leaders claimed. While assert
ing that many of these ballots would
represent party converts, Socialist
advocates also prophesied that many
would represent a protest vote
against imprisonment of "political
prisoners” including Eugene V. Debs,
their own presidential candidate, now
in the Atlanta pentitentiary for vio
lation of the espionage act.
All parties took into consideration
sfrelling of the vote by appearance
of women casting their ballots for
president.
Claims of Hays
In his prediction of victory for
Senator Harding and Governor Cool
idge, Mr. Hays laid claim to the fol
lowing states:
California, Colorado, Connecticut,
Idaho, Illinois. Indi.ana, lowa, Kan
sas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michi
gan, Minnesita, Missouri, Montana,
Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New Yfltk, North Dako
tJi, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, South Dakota, < Utahr
Vermont, Washington, West Virgin
ia, Wisconsin and Wyoming,
“In addition,” said Mr. Hays, "the
Republicans have very much better
than an even chance to carry Ari
zona, Kentucky, Maryland and New
Mexico, with 27 additional electoral
votes. Tnis makes 395 Republican
eletoral votes almost certain out of
a total of 531.
“Republican victory in Kentucky
is absolutely certain provided the
weather is such that it is practical
ly possible for the great Republican
majority in the mountains of east-1
ern Kentucky to get to the polls. This i
same element enters into the result [
in Tennessee, where there is a splen-|
did chance for the Republicans. We I
also have a splendid opportunity to I
carry North Carolina and Oklahoma.
iThis makes the probability of an ad
ditional 34 votes.
“The only states certainly Demo
cratic are Alabama, Arkansas, Flor
ida, Louisiana, Mississippi, • South
Carolina, Georgia, Texas / and Vir
ginia.
“Victory for America”
“The electorate of America which
is/for ‘America first,’ is simply wait
ing for the opporutnity to voice -a
'•protest against inefficiency, extrava
gance and autocracy ip. government;
to express, its in
the constructive ability of the Repub
lican party in a manner that will be
heard around the world.”
1 Mr. White, who declared .he
had spent the last three days
checking up detailed reports from
all state chairmen,, asserted he saw
“no reason to alter my forecast in
which I predicted a certain victory
for the Democratic "ticket.” Mr.
White referred to a prediction he
made Itst week.
“But, in perfect fairness, I want to
say that this yill not be alone a
Democratic victory. It Will be vic
tory of America, a victory over dis
lojjglty and partisanship, a victory
over the councils of selfishness.
V "This nation wants to establish
and maintain world peace in con
cert with those nations which were
our allies in the struggle against
imperialism. It/ wants to extend
the Moiitoe doctrine to the world.
It wants to secure peace in the east
ern hemisphere as in the western,
and to spare future generations of
Americans from the necessity of lay
ing down lives abroad to save man
kind from military domination.
“We have won the argument for
peace. We have won it despite the
fact that an absolutely clean and
fair campaign /on our part has been
conducted in the face of a campaign
that bore every other semblance but
fairness and cleanliness.”
president Votes by Mall
The-pyesidential candidates—Senator
Harding and Governor Cox —wound
up their campaign travels in the
west. The senator chose Columbus
as the city in which he would deliver
his last address before election day,
while his opponent ended his elec
tion activities with an old-fashioned
torchlight parade in Chicago and an
address at Coliseum, where his-Tival
was nominated.
The vice presidential candidates
selected the east for their final elec
tion addresses —Boston for Governor
Coolidge and New York for Franklin
D. Roosevelt.
Parley P. Christensen, presidential
candidate of the Farmer-Labor party,
running with Max Hayes, today car
ried his campaign into the state of
Washington. Although his ticket
mate, Eugene V. Debs, was forced to
conduct a unique campaign in the
form of statements issued from be
hind prison walls, Seymour Stedman,
vice presidential choice of the So
cialist party, carried his appeal for
votes personally throughout tne
country. Aaron S. Watkins and Leigh
Colvin, leaders on the Prohibition
ticket, and Robert C. MacAuley and
Richard C. Barnum, Single'Tax can
didates, also have carried on their
campaigns aggressively.
Ami. while presidential candidates
todajrwere matching plea with plea
for the right to occupy the White
House for the next four years, the
present oocupant cast his vote.
Neither President nor Mrs. Wilson
went to Princeton, where they are
registered, but mailed their ballots
to New Jersey.

Louisiana Commissioner
Urges Cotton Ginners
To Continue Running
-NEW ORLEANS, Nov. I.—Harry
D. Wilson, state commissioner of ag
riculture, today issued a statement
in which he advised the cotton gin
ners of Louisiana to continue opera
tions and not close down for a period
of thirty day?, beginning Monday, as
asked to do in a proclamation by
Governor Parker recently.
Failure of cotton ginners in other
states to co-operate with Louisiana
ginners in the movement to close
the gins until the price of cotton
reaches production cost is given by
Commissioner Wilson as the reason
for his action in calling off the move
, ment.
The commissioner states that hun
dreds of letters have, been received
in response to Governor Parker’s ap
peal to close the gins, signifying a
willingness to do so, but inasmuch
as other states will not co-operate
it is useless for the gins of this state
to close. )

‘Whispering Campaign’
; Against. Harding Is
Charged by G. 0. P.
NEW YORK, Nov. I.—Scott E.
Bone, director of ■publicity of the Re
publican national committee, issued
this statement here today: (
“The ‘whispering campaign,’ so in
sidiously and wisckedly carried on
; by conscienceless Democratic parti
sans, is now otit into the light and
condemned by the press of the coun
try—Democratic and Republican
. newspapers alike.
“Originating in Ohio, with no oth
er foundation for it than the vapor
ings of a miserable person of un
balanced mind, it was designedly
and sympathetically spread from
state to state, at <hei cost of many
thousands of dollars.
“That the author of the calumny
has not borne this expense is too ob
vious for comment.
“The Washington correspondent of
a large Democratic newspaper here
in the east today volunteered the in
formation that, to his personal
knowledge, the lying stuff, in printed,
mimeographed or typewritten form,
was in evidence on Governor Co"sts
special train, and disseminated by a
young man closely connected with
the Ohio Democratic state commit
- tee.
“The sordid facts speak for them
selves.' In all the annals of Ameri
can politics, there is nothing ap
proaching this infamous chapter
which Inust arouse the righteous
wrath and indignation ol< every right
thinking man and woman the coun
try over.
/‘To the everlasting credit of
Aifnerican journalism, no Democratic
newspaper of consequence has been
so debased as to lend itself to such
campaign methods, or touch the
slander.
“It has been more than a ‘whisper
ing campaign.’ It has—peen a sinis
ter plot and conspiracy. The over
whelming election of Harding and
Coolidge will be the answer to such
campaign tactics.”

Claimed for Suspect

THOUSANDS MOURN
AS MAYOR M’SWINEY
IS fflfn CORK
CORK, Nov. I.—(By the Associated
Press.) —In the presence of church
dignitaries, scores of his former
comrade volunteers and thousands of
his countrymen the body of Terence
MacSwiney, lord mayor of Cork, was
lowered to its resting plape in the
“Republican plot” in St. Finbarr’s\
cemetery, just outside Cork, Sunday
afternoon.
Despite the splendor lent the.
scene by the attendance of the high
churchmen, there was a simplicity
marking the ceremonies that was im
pressive. '
Outside the cemetery, hidden by
the enormous crush of townspeople,
tfro armored cars, their machine
guns ready, and a half dozen lorries
filled with soldiers was dugAvn up at
the roadside, impqp-ting a sinister air
to the otherwise solemn proceedings.
But during the transfer qf the body
from the city hall through- Streets
lined with cyowds to St. Mary’s ca
thedral and during the procession
from the cathedral to the cemetery
there was not an incident of vio
lence or disturbance.
Whole Country Paid Tribute
The city of Cork and the whole
countryside paid tribute to the mem
ory of their “newest martyr.” The
body was buried beside that of for
mer Lord Mayor Mac Curtain, who
was assassinated. A few yards
away are the graves of Joseph Mur
phy, adorned with an American flag,
and two other Irish Republican sol
diers. Murphy, like MacSwiney, died
a hunger striker.
Archbishop Harty, of Cashel, oc
cupied the throne in presiding over
the solemn requiem mass in St.
Mary’s, cathedral. Consignor Cal
laghan, bishop of Cork, was the cele
brant. The clergy assisting included
Archbishops Clune, of Perth, Aus
tralia, and of Hobart, Tasma
nia, and Bjshop Brown, of Clyne,
O’Sullivan, of .Kerry, Muley, of Bal
larat. Australia and Fogarty, of Kil
laloe. Thiy coffin, over which was
draped the Irish Republican flag,
rested on /a catafalque covered with
a pall and with a skull and cross
bones on either side, such as is used
at the obsequies of high church
men. , , ...
The cathedral was filled and thou
sands of persons were massed in the
adjacent streets. 4
Great Tuneful Frocession
The transfer of the casket from
the city hall was without incident.
Two armored cars and five lorries
of troops kept in the background as
the cortege moved to the church.
The two-mlle route of the proces
sion from the cathedral to the ceme
tery was flanked, by thou*
sands of persons who bared their
heads as the flag-draped casket,
borne on the shoulders of the may
or’s brothers and intimate friends,
Pa Whe’n the services at the cathe
dral ended and the procession, for’li
ed under the supervision of the Irish
volunteers, moved off slowly, the
cathedral bell began tolling. This
was immediately echoed by.f£ e b ?“ r s
of the other churches in the city.
John Peter -MacSwiney, brother of
dead lord mayor, iacted as chief cot
fhi bearen. Father Dominic, Mac-
Swiney’s private chaplain, and Ar
thur Griffith, vice president of the
“Irish Republic,” came immediately
behind him. One hundred and
eighty priests headed the procession.
They were followed by acolytes and
high chufch dignitaries. Then came
two flower-burdened hearses, a com
pany of volunteers dressed in citi
zens’ clothes and twenty-five car
riages with women mourners.
Americans Send Wreaths
Volunteers, each of them .carrying
floral pieces, formed an Outer col
umn on each side of the procession.
A cordon of volunteers held back
the solid lines of bareheaded specta
tors who overran the sidewalks. A
number of wreaths sent by Ameri
cans were noticeable among floral
pieces in the hearse«.
As the clergy were filing away
from the graveside after the body
had been lowered, six men who were
admitted within the .circle formed
by the volunteers, took positions over
the grave, fired a revolver salute of
three Volleys and silently withdrew.
Mr. Griffith, in paying tribute to

rest there on Monday. *
Donahue will be given a prelimi- •
nary hearing before the United States
commissioner in New York on No
vember 5, and then will be brought
to Atlanta for trial. Inspector Mc-
Kew wired Saturday that Donahue
had attempted to secure his release
by posting a temporary bond of >26,-
000. Apprehensive that he would
jump the bond, Atlanta inspectors
promptly dispatched telegrams urg
ing that the man is worth! probably
a half million dollars, accumulated
from robberies 'perpetrated over a
period of thirty years, and that it
would be unsafe for the government
to set him at liberty.
x Wanted in Carnesville
An Indictment against Donahue
for the alleged cracking of a safe
in a Carnesville bank now is out
standing, according to I the federal
officials. John Moore, who is now
serving twenty years for burglariz
ing banks in Ball Ground, Fayette- y
ville, Oak Field, Concord and other
Georgia towns, la said by Inspectors
to have implicated Donahue in -all of
the robberies, which involve the
theft of thousands of dollars.
Since the sensational truck rob
bery in June, Postoffice Inspectors *
Fleming, Barry and McKew, work
ing under the direction of Chief In
spector Charles Riddiford, have lit
erally combed the country for
Donahue. Inspector Fleming made
trips to San Francisco. Boston and
Philadelphia; Inspector Barry visit
ed Chicago, New York and other
cities. Descriptive circulars were
sent to federal, state and municipu/
authorities in every city in the coun
try. Donahue was well known tu
police eveiYwhere, but they seemed
unable to apprehend him. His ar
rest in New York followed a care
fully laid trap by the police. He
had up to a week ago successfully
eluded the authorities for several
years.
Donahue is said to have served
five years in the Atlanta federal
penitentiary for stealing and dis
posing of government property. He
is said to have served three terms. •
aggregating twelve y,ears. in Sins
Sing on convictions 'of cracking
I safes, looting stores and working
“confidence” games.
Mail Truck Bobbery
7 Postofflce Inspector Clyde Fleming
described the sensational manner iii
which Donahue robbed the'Atlanta
•mail truck,, as follows:
“He boarded the truck at J:3O
o’clock on the night of June 15 at
corner of Forsyth and Hunter
streets, <Jrew two pistols and stuck
them in the ribs of the driver and the
postal’ clerk on the truck, and com
manded them to drive to a point be
yond West View cemetery. Thera he
slashed -open several registered mail
pouches, removed $61,000 in Liberty i
Bonds and quickly disappeared in
the darkness. It was several days
before clues connecting him with the
robbery were secured, and he had,
of course, left this section in the
meantime.”
Cha : lcs Widener, a young postof
fice clerk who was on the burglarizes
mail truck, accompanied Postofflce
Inspector McKew to New York ana
aided in the identification of Dona
hue.
Telegrams from NewATork also In
i dicate, Inspector Fleming said, thar»
the same bonds stolenf from the
truck were later disposed of by
Donahue at various pawn shops in
Chicago, Philadelphia and New York
Several thousand dollars’ worth of
these bonds have been recovered, i t
is said.
Inspector Fleming said Donahue
has been a confirmed criminal since
his youth. He added that he operat
ed in each state under a different
alias. “His Georgia alias was Char
lie Morgan, while in other parts of
the country he used the names,
Charles Rowell, Thomas Dugan,
Frank Harris, Thomas McConnell
and others,” said Mr. Fleming.
“On, Donahue’s forehead.” he con
tinued, “is an ugly scar, the result
of a severe wound he received when
he attempted to burglarize a butch-,
er shop in a western city. 'The
butcher hurled a big knife at him,
stopping him before he could reach
the cash drawer.” ' I
The arrest of Donahue, according
to federal officials, practically com
pletes the round-up of the band of
five notorius criminals who operated
in Georgia a number of years ago,
burglarizing many many banks,
working “confidence” / games and
rifling United States malls. At
lanta postoffice inspectors have ex
erted themselves for four months
in an effort to bring about Donahue's
capture. '
The operations of the famous
"John Nolan" band, of which Dona
hue is said to have been the
"brains,” are well remembered
throughout Georgia. Using Colum
bus as a base, the gang established
headquarters in a handsome home ii
a select residential section of th<
city
A woman, who Is alleged to hav<
kept house for the gang, was said t<
have been represented to be Nolan’s
wife. Postoffice inspectors from
time to time have, it/ is said, se
cured valuable information from
this woman. It was her testimony
it is said, which led to the'convic
tion of “Whitey” Thompson, J. C.
Hulsey and Nolan. She is now with
in the reach of the inspectors and
will probably be used as a witness'
against Donahue when he is brought
to trial.
The only- member of the band still
at large* is said to be George Har
ris, who, it is alleged, participated
In the famous Strickland robbery.
Postoffice inspectors predicted
Saturday that Donahue has commit
ted his last violation of the law, and
that he will be given the limit in
the event of his conviction in the
federal and state courts of Georgia. /
