HARDWICK GROWS
STRONGER STEADILY,
MANAGER ASSERTS
The following statement concern
ing the progress of Governor Thom
as W. Hardwick's campaign for the
United States senate was given out
from his headquarters Saturday aft
ernoon; •
“Letters from all over the state
continue to show growing strength
for Governor Hardwick's campaign
for the United States senate against
Mr. Harris.
“Governor Hardwick’s mail is
very heavy, and the activity of his
friends is very pronounced. In many
sections of the state this condition
exists to such an extent that an at
mosphere of confidence and enthu
siasm is to be observed.
“At the outset of the campaign
Governor Hardwick believed that
the strength claimed by Mr. Harris
was largely superficial, and more or
less newspaper-made. By this is
meant that Mr. Harris has for some
time used the press for advertising
work, the accomplishment of which
he had never performed, and in that
way had gained for his campaign
a strength that he did not merit.
People Responding
“Wherever we have been able to
get Governor Hardwick’s platform
dealing with the fundamentals of nld
time Democracy before the people,
they have responded with a popular
approval that is reassuring to his
prospects.
“While it is a little early to esti
mate the real strength of this re
sponse, it is quite evident that the
tide is growing in Governor Hard
wick’s favor, and if his friends con
tinue the working interest that they
have displayed up to this stage of
the fight, there Ju every indication
that Governor Hardwick’s campaign
Is going to have a successful ending,
and, in a w;jy that will surprise the
politicians of the state.
“Governor Hardwick has just
closed a week of successful cam
paigning that is destined to be re
membered as one of the greatest
politic 1 campaigns ever waged in
Georgia.
“He spoke in Haralson county, at
Buchanan, on last Tuesday, to a
very large and enthusiastic audience,
and his friends in that county pre
dict that he will carry it by a de
cided majority. <
“Thursday morning, July 31. he
spoke at Hahira to a splendid au
dience, conservatively estimated at
between four and five thousand.
“Thursday afternoon he addressed
an audience of four qy five thousand
at Valdosta, where he was met by
a large committee of representative
cttlzeris. His friends in Lowndes
county say that there will be no
doubt of his carrying that county.
Big Rally at Sparta
“On Friday he addressed the larg
est political gathering at Sparta that
has ever been assembled in Hancock
county, and his friends there are
looking forward to a splendid victory
in the primary.
“He addressed a wonderful gath
ering at Carrollton on Saturday, and
the best political judges of CarroU
county stated, after the speaking,
that he had made a great impression
upon the people, and that they felt
quite sure that he would carry Car
roll county.
“This closes the second week of
continuous, vigorous and aggressive
campaigning that has been entered
upon by Governor Hardwick, who
is highly gratified at the receptions
accorded him in all the counties ad
dressed by him.
“Governor Hardwick will speak at
the following places during the next
week:

WORLD’S GAINS FROM WAR,
AS SEEN BY MANY LEADERS,
PRINTED BY LEGION WEEKLY
All Lost) Kaiser Says—Amer
icans Declare' Cause of
Democracy Was Strength
ened by Lesson
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. I.—A sym
posium on “What Did the World
Gain by the World War?”, is publish
ed today by the American Legion
weekly. The majority of the re
plies, many of them from famous
Americans, agree there, were gains,
though some deny any.
The first person quoted, the for
mer kaiser’s secretary, Admiral H.
von Rebeir-Paschwitz. said:
“What did the world gain? Noth
ing. It lost everything.”
“This answer,” said the article,
“was in reply to a letter to “Wil
liam Hohenzollern, Esq.,” in Hol
land. It. is taken, to represent very
closely the real views of the former
emperor.
“The symposium was prepared to
feature the tenth anniversary of the
beginning of the World war.
“Friedrich Wilhelm, former crown
prince, says:
“The result was that all natiqps
are arming as hard as they can, and
what about democracy? Just look
at the cables from over the whole
world. Dictatorship of some sort or
other is the favorite idea. The only
good the war did. is to show that a
nation, not well armed, is powerless,
and that such a nation gets no help
from anybody.”
Baker Sees Benefits
“Taking the long view. I believe,”
Newton D. Baker said: “It is
possible now to say that the
world is at last convinced that the
balance of power theory is an un
stable basis for world peace and that
international co-operation is the only
other plan to be tried. This is a
great gain.”
General John J. Pershing said:
“While we are probably too close
to the events of the World war defi
nitely to judge of its general bene
fits to mankind, yet the victory did
result in preventing domination by
autocracy, with all its disastrous ef
fects upon civilization, and the evi
dence is clear that the free peoples
of the world still unite in resisting
such domination.”
Sir Arthur W. Currie, commander
in-chief of the Canadian Expedition
ary forces: “By the World war we
gained a truer appreciation and a
better realization of war’s unspeak
able waste, its dreadful hardships,
its cruel slaughter and its after
math of lonliness, sorrow and
broken hearts. We now know that
as a means of solving the world’s
problems and removing international
discord war is a delusion and a lie.”
General Henry T. Allen, command
ing general of the American army
of occupation: “The world has seen
that the mipious creeds that might
makes right, and that the state as
the incarnation of power stands
above law, have been overthrown.
The world has learned ; much more
of the inter-dependence of states. It
has learned that Europe cannot pro :
ceed properly along the road of
moral and physical restoration with
out our participation in the great
unsettled post-bellum measures.”
World Learns Lesson
American Soldier Number 1,000,-
000, who served in the ranks
throughout the war, and is now a
staff sergeant: “Although we cannot
claim that, as a result of the World
war, the world has been made ‘safe
for democracy,’ it is apparent that
the American principle that ‘gov
ernments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed,’
has been, for the first time, im
pressed upon European minds.”
Sir Phillip Gibbs, British war cor
respondent: “The only gain to hu
manity from the World war, as far
as I can see now, was the insipra
tion that comes from the supreme
valor of youth and its ready sacri
fice for ideals higher t’- n self-in
terest.”
William Allen White, Kansas edi
tor; “The gain came in self-respect
for the working man and the man
of small means and his woman folks.
And it cut through nationalities with
out respect to allies or central pow
ers. In that much democracy has
gained and will never go back.”
Maximilian Harden, German editor
and publicist: “The certainty that
war has lost its last glowing charm
of romantic chivalry of knighthood,
that it has lost the manly nobility
of a fight to be decided by personal
valor, and has become an endless

years would ultimately prove weak

Autocracies Wrecked
Charles W. Eliot, president emer
itus of Harvard; “The World war
destroyed the huge Russian, Ger
man and Austrian autocracies, re
vived several freer nations which
those autocracies had crushed or cut
into pieces, strengthened the three
great powers in which democratic
principles have made good progress,
and brought them nearer to effec

but of those that never fit, and re
sult which will show itself for gen

Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor: “Th e
world gained as a result of the great
war a freedom from the menace of
organized militarist imperialism
without which all peoples sooner or
later would have been enchained in
bondage and vassalage. Democracy
is in the ascendance, the dominant
form of government.”
Jane Addams: "1. A revelation of
what modern war is, when system
atic propaganda arouses world-wide
hate and when the latest methods of
industrial efficiency achieve the max
imum of slaughter and destruction;
2. Among the living a growing de
termination to abolish war for the
sake of those who gave their lives
to end it.”
Norman Angell. English publicist
and author: “If we cannot make a
workable world in peace time, imply
ing again a world organization, then
we shall again have a world catas
trophe, as much ,worse than the last
as that was worse than the preced
ing one, and the world will have

Ahead in Kentucky
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 2.—(By
the Associated Press.) —Unofficial re
nent, in today’s state-wide primary
counties at 11 o’clock tonight gave
United States Senator A. O. Stanley
a lead of 8,579 votes over John Ju
nior Howes, of Carrollton, his oppo
nent, in tday’s state-wide primary
turns from 96 of Kentucky’s 120
senate, the Louisville Courier-Jour
nal says.
Senator Stanley's total was given
as 57,728 and Howe’s as 49,14 ). The
Republican candidates for senatorial
nomination had received from the
same counties totals of 23,768 for
Fred M. Sackett, LouisvJ.e, and 11 -
058 for B. J. Bethurum, Lexington.
Further returns from the Tenth
district, although still falling short
consideribly of complete lallies, in
creased the lead of Congressman
John W. Langley, of Pikeville.
These figures will not be greatly

Will Demand Return
Os Seized Liq uors
NEW YORK. Aug. 2.—Charles H.

de Fritsch, prominent clubman, in
whose home 95 cases of liquor were
seized yesterday by prohibition
agents, said today he would demand
the return of the beverages and in
sist that steps be taken to fix re
sponsibility for what he called an
unlawful entry of a private home.
. Hugh McQuillan, chief of the spe
cial intelligence unit of the internal
revenue bureau, who is investigat
ing the raid, explained that unless
there was a restaurant on the de
Fritsch premises as Robert J.
Owen, prohibiton agent, had charged
the officers had violated section 25
of the A olstead act. This action pro
vides that no premises shall be
searched unless intoxicants have
been sold there.
Owen said today he had been told
by a “private party” that the
de Fritsch place was a speak-easy.
He declared he had seen whisky de

Li FOLETTE GUNS
LEVELED MAINLY
AT G. 0. P. TICKET
BY ROBERT T. SMALL
(Copyright. 1921, >'y the Consolidated Pres*
Association —Special Leased Wire
to The Atlanta Journal.)
NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—Political
skirmishes are growing more fre
quent as the time for the real clash
for the forces approaches. In a lit
tle more than ten days now the bat
tle lines will be drawn. The Demo
crats will have launched their main
attack upon the Republicans and
the latter will have countered with
their biggest gun.
The Democratic shock troops will
be led by John W. Davis, who al
ready is mobilizing the rhetorical re
serves he will throw at the enemy
on August 11 at his old home town
of Clarksburg.
Republicans holding the govern
mental trenches at Washington will
stand fast and true to Calvin Cool
idge, whose counter assault will be
delivered in the capitol on August 14.
The third party “Progressives” al
ready are out in No Man's Land,
ready to fraternize vith the soldiers
of both old parties and to welcome
all the “deserters” to their standard.
The progressives might be called the
“sappers and miners” of the coming
campaign. They hope to set off a
few bombs under both of the old
camps. In fact, they figure they
already have done so. Senator La
Follette expects to furnish the coun
try- with at least one sensation a
week and his blows will all be di
rected as “special interests,” which
he claims are really the generals in
command of both Republican and
Democratic armies.
Will Fight Republicans
Senator La Follette promises to
fight both sides indiscriminately, but
persons who have talked with him
recently have received the impres
sion that his guns are to be aimed
principally at the Republicans. Hav
ing- dwelt more or less in the Re
publican household, the senior sen
ator from Wisconsin probably feels
he knows the weak spots of the G.
O. P. a little better than he does the
Democrats.
The Democrats rapidly are per
fecting their campaign much. Clem
Shaver is functioning as national
chairman, although he will not offi
cially be elevated to that position
until the national committee meets
at the Davis notification ceremo
nies. There is to be a better organ
ization than the Democrats have had
in twelve long years. Many of the
men who were strongest in support
of William Gibbs McAdoo for the
nomination have forgotten conven
tion differences and are to have an
active part in the Davis campaign.
Four years ago, when Mr. McAdoo
failed of the nomination, his friends
largely held aloof. There is a dif
ferent spirit this year, despite the
fact thqt the contest in Madison
Square (Garden was far more bitter
than the one at San Francisco in
1920.
All of the warring elements of the
Democracy appear to be getting to
gether and the Republicans no lon
ger are making light of the attack
they have got to meet from the
Davis-Bryan combination.
Butler a Second Hays
Chairman Butler, of the Repub
lican national committee, is proving
an indefatigable worker. He is flit
ting about the country with almost
the same speed and dexterity that
Will Hays was showing four years
ago. Mr. Butler himself has said
that he does not expect to do much
sitting down between now and the
first Tuesday in November. Be
makes overnight jumps by the fast
est trains between New York and
Chicago, Washington and Chicago
and Boston and Chicago, and he ex
pects that to constitute the main
portion of his itinerary throughout
the campaign.
Mr. Butler has been through much
the same task that confronted Clem
Shaver, of the Democrats. The Re
publican national organization vir
tually was made over at Cleveland,
and new hands have had to be
broken in all along the line. Os tine
organizing ability, Chairman Butler
has attacked his work with evident
relish, and has found time between
jobs to level a number of broadsides
at the Democrats and Progressives.
The followers of Mr. La Follette
are having the time of their lives.
They feel they have thrown a real
scare into both of the old parties
and have them quarreling as to
which side is to lose the greatest
number of votes to the “invaders."
The independents thus are waxing
fat upon the publicity the old party
leaders are giving them. When an
astute politician like Senator Jim
Matson opines that the Progressives
may carry “eight or nine states” it
is pretty good evidence that the
storm is going to be more severe
than the old line managers were
counting upon.

ALL PARTIES FACED BY BARE
CUPBOARDS ON CAMPAIGN EVE
BY ROBERT T. SMALL
(Special Leased Wire to The Journal—Copy
right, J 92-1.)
NEW YORK. Aug. 2.—Preliminary
surveys of the “usual sources of
supply” are said to be anything but
reassuring to the politicians charged
with “raising the wind” for the com
ing campaign. There, has been no
great rush to contribute to either
of the old parties, while the Progres
sives are faced with the necessity of
an intense beating of the bushes.
Nevertheless the strong boxes are
being got ready with the confident
hope that as the fight gets under
way the streams of gold will flow a
little more freely.
Both the Republicans and the
Democrats are to experiment with
new money-raising machinery and
personnel. The Republicans will
miss the guiding hand of Fred Up
ham. the ex-treasurer. Mr. Upham,
single-handed, raised something like
$9,000,000 during his terms with the
national committee. That is a rec
ord which no successor is likely to
equal in the near future. William
V. Hodges, of Denver, the new treas
urer of the Republicans, is making
his headquarters in Chicago, and is
being given all possible assistance
by Chairman Butler. Recently Mr.
Hodges was in New York, where it
is expected a goodly part of both
Republican and Democratic purses
are to be raised.
No “Viewing With Alarm”
The difficulty with the situation as
it exists today is that the moneyed
interests fail to view the outlook
with alarm. A calm satisfaction with
political prospects seems to pervade
the entire financial district and un
less a real scare can be thrown into
the vicinity of Wall street, some of
the old sources of revenue may prove
to be “dusters” this year. Treasurer
Hodges has the books of the pre
vious campaigns and also the
sources from which the big Repub
lican deficit after the 1920 campaign
was wiped out. With these in hand
he may be able to do a little force-
GERMANY TO HEAP
HONORS ON HUGHES
ON VISIT ID BERLIN
BERLIN, Aug. 2.—(By the Asso
ciated Press.) —Charles E. Hughes,
American secretary of state, who is
on his way from Brussels to Berlin
for a. two-day sojourn as the guest
of the American ambassador. Alan
son B. Houghton, will find his time
well occupied with social functions
and meetings with official and pri
vate personages. Among the events
in his honor will be a formal dinner
given by Mr. Houghton, at which
Secretary Hughes will have an op
portunity to meet, the German gov
ernment members, and the leading
industrialists and financiers.
Praise, which lapses freely into
encomiums, marks the editorial
greetings to Mr. Hughes, whose visit
is received by the liberal press as an
event of outstanding significance not
only, as one paper puts it, “because
the American diplomatist’s decision
to include Berlin in his itinerary
must be construed as a graceful com
pliment to the German government,
but also because he must be recog
nized as the intellectual inspiration
of the Dawes report.’’
“The American statesmen are
earnestly striving to inject an ele
ment of objective reasoning into in
ternational politics,” says Germania,
which is close to Chancellor Marx,
“and among them the name of Mr.
Hughes deserves pre-eminence.”
The other newspapers emphasize
Secretary Hughes’ part tn the dis
armament conference, and his consist
ent atitude toward the reparation
problem as reflected in bis New
Haven speech, which, rhe German
editors concur, was the precursor of
the Dawes report.

On Experimentation
With Mouth Disease
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. Secre
tary Wallace has refused to permit
any experimentation in the United
States with the foot and mouth dis
ease which has recently caused such
heavy losses in cattle in California,
but which is now under control.
Suggestions from medical men. par- i
ticularly the Los Angeles County j
Medical association, urging the de
partment of agriculture to carry out
or authorize investigations, have j
been answered by Secretary Wallace i
with the statement that the disease
already has been the subject of pro
longed study.
“In view of its highly contagious
nature and especially the economic
hardships caused by quarantine
measures against localities in which
the disease exists,” Mr. Wallace said
in a letter to the Los Angeles asso- i
ciation, “it does not seem wise to en
tertain suggestions which contem
plate keeping the disease in stock in
any part of the United States or any
islands adjacent. The methods of
eradication which the department
has followed have kept the United |
States free from the disease except
for the occasional outbreaks.”

ful talking during the next few

The Democrats have been hopeful
that they would enjoy a fatter year
t han they have known for a decade.
Their plans of campaign have been
based on that hope. Four years ago
they conducted a starvation fight,
bitt just where the bulk of the
I money is to come from this time,
no one seems to know. The Demo
crats have not any books that are
of value as a guide to them. In this
respect the Republicans have a dis
tinct advantage. Also the Republi
cans have a long list of "regulars”
who have contributing for
years. The Democrats must in some
manner mobilize the “volunteers.”
High Cost of Campaigning
The slowness with which monej
is coming in may account in some
measure for the lack of speed which
Is characterizing the campaign. Oi
course the late dates of the notifica

deal to do with the slowing up proc

to stir the purse strings of the
country.
Senator Borah, chairman of the

felt he will not be busy for a long

FARM WOMEN HEED
SHOOTER WOBKING
HOURS. IGENT SITS
MONTGOMERY. Ala., Aug. I.—Of
the 168 hours in a week, Alabama
farm women labor 97 of them. This
is a little over 12 hours a day.
This fact was the feature of a plea
for better life for the women of the.
farm made before the annual session
of the Alabama Farm Bureau federa
tion, in convention here, by Miss
Helen Johnson, district demonstra
tion agent.
Miss Johnson recently sent a ques
tionnaire to 1,000 farm women ask
ing them how they spent their time
and what they most desired. The
results of this questionnaire were
presented to the federation and made
a profound impression.
According to the questionnaire, the
average farmer’s wife spends her
time like this:
Cooking and cleaning up, 25 hours
and 10 minutes.
Working in the field, 22 hours and
10 minutes.
Miscellaneous activities, 11 hours.
Sewing and mending, 7 hours and
20 m’nutes.
Care of babies, 7 hours and 10
minutes.
Care of other children. 5 hours.
Care of chickens, 6 hours and 40
minutes.
Washing and ironing, 4 hours.
Personal care, 2 hours and 40
minutes.
Milking and churning, 2 hours and
30 minutes.
Rest, 1 hour and 40 minutes.
. Recreation, 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Cleaning house, 30 minutes.
This is a total of 97 hours and 8
minutes, leaving 81 hours for sleep.
The questionnaire showed that the
women wanted running water in the
house worse than any other thing,
Miss Johnson said.
The annual report of E. A. O’Neal,
submitted Thursday afternoon, show
ed the federation in flourishing con
dition with an increase of 5,600 mem
bers and four county bureaus.

IfflGU PRRLEY
UNEWSBOMARY
PROVES UNAVAILING
LONDON, Aug. 2.—(By the Asso
ciated Press).—Conferences today at
Downing street between representa
tives of the British government, the
Irish Free State and the govern
ment of Ulster were unsuccessful in
reaching a solution by agreement
of the Irish boundary dispute, it ap
peared this evening.
When the conference, which was
presided over by Colonial Secretary
Thomas, and at which there were
present, amongst others, Prime Min
ister MacDonald, President Cos
grave, of the Free State, and the
Marquis of Londonderry, adjourned,,
no communique was issued and all
of the participants maintained strict
silence about the proceedings.
Mr. MacDonald had a busy time
during the conferences, hurriedly
flitting, as the occasion required,
between the allied meeting and the
place where the Irish question was
being discussed. There were various
separate conversations interspersed
between the formal meetings of all
the delegates, but from the best
available information no agreement
was reached and Mr. MacDonald im
mediately motored to Chequers for the
week-end. His action was interpreted
to mean that no time had been set
for a further meeting. S
Unless, meantime, some new de
velopments arise, it is surmised that
the government will proceed with
its plans to introduce a bill which
would sanction the formation of the
Irish boundary, commission without
the participation of Ulster.
There are) two unusual features
to the boundary situation from the
Ulster point of view. The first is
the number of inflammatory out
bursts in the Ulster press which
openly threaten civil war if the
British government persists in
what these newspapers characterize
as “a mad attempt to'coerce Ulster.”
The second is the rumor that the
premier of Ulster, Sir James Craig,
will be forced by illness to resign
his post. This rumor is given a semi
official denial, but it is pointed out
that replacing Sir James by a new
premier who would have a freer
hand might help in achieving a
solution of the difficulty.
One of the most favorable signs is
the report from Belfast tonight that
the Ulster attorney general, Rich
ard Best, has been hurriedly sum
moned to London. This., it is be
lieved, may indicate some new turn
in the crisis.
President Cosgrave and all of the
Ulster delegates except the Marquis
Londonderry departed for Dublin to
night. Colonial Secretary Thomas
will make a statement in the house
of commons early next week on to
day’s conference.

FARMERS KEEP EYE
DILI GRAIN COMPANY;
OPINIONS DIFFER
BY J. C. BOYLE
(Special Leased Wire to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1924.)
NEW YORK, Aug. I.—Farmers
and grain men are watching close
ly the progress of the new Grain
Marketing company, of Chicago,
which has been formed around the
properties of five big grain com
panies, the price to be paid for which
will be determined later. As might
be expected, farmers are divided as
to the advisability of purchasing
stock in the concern, according to re
liable reports from the middle west.
The company has been organized
under the Illinois co-operative mar
keting act with a capitalization of
$26,000,000, divided into one million
shares of common stock at $1 a
share, one million shares of class A
preferred stock at $25 a share, and
500,000 shares of class B preferred
stock at SSO a share. The company
has started with a. paid-in working
capital of $4,000,000 supplied through
the companies whose properties are
to form the nucleus of the concern.
As explained by a statement by
the farm bureau federation, “it ii
understood that the class B stock
will be sold for immediate financin'
purposes. It is also understood thfff
75 per cent of the earnings of M
new company above operating* «
penses plus the income of the class
A stock will be used in retiring class
B stock. This means that with the
sale of every two shares of class A
preferred stock, one share of class
B stock will be retired. This pre
vents the capital stock from ever be
coming more than $26,000,000.”
Purchasers of stock must be pro
ducers of grain and must pay for
at least one share of common at $1
and one share of class A preferred
which bears 8 per cent interest, at
$25. The organization, however, can
handle one-half of its grain from
non stockholders or members,
The company says it provides a
complete marketing system for
farmer-producers of grain, local co
operative elevators and other or
ganizations doing a co-operativ«
grain marketing business.
Some opponents of the scheme say
that the business of the five com
panies involved lias not been par
ticularly prosperous and that they
are worried over possible extension
of government regulation. Therefore,
the opponents continue, they are
willing- to turn over their properties
to a company with control center
ing largely in their own hands and
with a farmer board. The critics as
sert that the plan is based less on
co-operation than on stockholder par
ticipation, such as is being worked
out by the American Telephone and
Telegraph company and other public
utility coroprations.
Grain growers of some of the
northwestern states, meeting at the
call of the grain growers’. advisory
council, which former Governor
Lowden, of Illinois, represents, de
cided to urge farmers against buy
ing stock and to oppose marketing
of grain with the proposed company.
The stand was taken that the com
pany is merely a combination of
trade interests.
INCREASE IN BEET SUGAR
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. I.—A 20
per cent increase in beet sugar ton
nage in California over last year ii
expected this year according to
George E. Springer, secretary of the
Union Sugar company and Alameda
Sugar company. With the state’s
production of sugar beets, estimated
at 800,000 tons the refineries yield
would be about 2.400,000 bags o»
120,000 tons, an increase of a fifth
over last year’s total, it was stated.
