SOUTHEASTERN Bill
READY FOR OPENING
WITH H EXHIBITS
The Southeastern fair, which an
nually assembles visitors from a doz
en states to view the finest displays
of products from southern farms
and industrial enterprises, opens at
Lakewood park on Saturday, October
4, to continue until Saturday, Oc
tober 11.
This annual exposition, affording
an opportunity for the world to note
the development and advancement
of the southeast in all lines of agri
cultural and commercial activity,
this year promises to excel all pre
vious records in the history of the
big fair, according to those in charge
of the arrangements and program.
Moro than 850,000 will be distrib
uted in premiums and prizes in the
various departmental displays. An
added feature will be the exhibition
of the Atlanta Kennel club, which
will include specimens of the various
breeds of dogs, many of them cham
pions national renown.
The entertainment programs each
day have been arranged with the
utmost care and devotees of the au
tomobile and horse racing game will
find plenty of amusement. Auto
polo games will be staged daily and
many fast horses have been entered
in the pacing and trotting events.
Original Features
Originality will be noted in the
amusement features, which will in
clude the. appearance of the “At
lanta Passing Revue,” to be par
ticipated in by 500 persons, includ
ing members of the "Georgia Beauty
Ballet,” composed of the prettiest
|'fiirls from various cities and towns
iyl the state. The usual automobile
and horse racing will be held in
the afternoons and acts by the Rubin
& Cherry carnival shows will be
given at night in front of the grand
stand. Music will be furnished by
the Texas Red Hussar band.
An outstanding feature of the ex
hibits will be the flower show which
will occupy one-half of the big auto
mobile building. According to E. A.
Wachendorff, president of the At
lanta Florist and Horticultural club,
sponsoring the show, this will be the
greatest flower display ever held in
the south. The mammoth collection
of flowers and ferns will be arrang
ed in their settings by John Wilson
and J. G. Schattmaier, formerly of
Philadelphia, now of Atlanta.
Many individual booths are being
set up in the woman's work depart
ment, where premiums aggregating
$2,500 will be given for prize-win
ning displays. In the mechanical
department there will be several big
exhibits of new farm machinery as
well as the usual industrial booths.
Georgia's program of farm diver
..sification will be fully set forth in
new exhibits to be installed by a
number of Georgia counties in which
tobacco, dairying, poultry products
and specimens of prize-winning stock
will be shown. The apple exhibit
-this year will be larger than ever
and the work of the boys’ corn clubs
will be fully displayed.
Young people's activities will re
ceive unusual notice, according to
present plans, which contemplate a
-number of features to include the
judging of live stock, girls’ canning
club work, bread making, a school
for boys from all parts of the state,
where improved agricultural meth
ods will be taught and other sea
, tures.
Greatly increased attendance is
forecast in reports both from the
city and other portions of the state.
Improved conditions in south Geor
gia will bring thousands of visitors
to the fair this year, in the opinion
of Oscar Mills, president of the fair
association, who has been active in
.enlisting the interest of Atlanta
“business men as well.
Civic Club Day
A feature will be the attendance
of several civic clubs of Atlanta on
Tuesday, October 7. which has been
set apart as "Inter-civic club day.”
Special programs at the grounds on
that day already have been arranged
by the Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions and
Civitan clubs, as well as members of
the chamber of commerce.
Friday, October 11. will be known
as Georgia Press day, members of
the Georgia Press association will at
tend and will be guests at a barbecue.
After the usual amusement fea
tures, displays of fireworks will be
given as the last part of each night's
program.

THE ATLANTA FBI-WEEKLY JOURNAL
DAVIS’ WINNING PERSONALITY
ACCOUNTS FOR GREAT SUCCESS
OF WESTERN CAMPAIGN TRIP
Intimate View of Democrat! c Nominee, His Pleasing
Characteristics, His Courtesy. His Hard Work, De
scribed by Edward Lowry, Former Atlantian.
Radio Revolution! zes Campaigning
The Journal presents herewith Edward G.
Lowry's estimate of John W- Davis as a
campaigner. Mr. Lowry, a native Atlan
tian, is one of the best known political
writers in the country. The story that he
contributes to The Journal today is based
upon bis impressions of Mr. Davis’ western
trip. M . Lowry was a member of the
party, and improved his unusual opportuni
ties for observing the Democratic candidate
at close range.
BY EDWARD G. LOWRY
John W. Davis went west to
project his personality and get ac
quainted rather than to appeal for
votes. But he so conducted himself
that he attained both ends. He want
ed first to meet the people of the
west and to let them see him. He
wanted the thousands who knew him
only vaguely by pame to know him
in his own proper person and as he
is. He started out on his journey
September 1, a‘vague figure to all
of the country west of the Alleghe
nies; he has come back to New
York after having made himself a
definite personality to hundreds of
thousands of men and women.
I have been going troubadouring
with presidents or candidates for
the presidency in the mellow autumn
months preceding election every
four years since McKinley’s time.
That meant adventuring out into
the open with Roosevelt, Taft, Bry
an, Wilson, Hughes and scores of
lesser lights. In all of that long and
varied experience, I cannot recall
a candidate who did more for him
self and for his party than Mr.
Davis has done on his first west
ern trip.
Made Friends Everywhere
The whole enterprise was really
a remarkable achievement, and
quite unlike anything that I can re
call in a rather richly stored mem
ory. Mr. Davis did not have a sin
gle set-back; he did not have a sin
gle incident to mar his progress; he
did not make a single "break.”
Wherever he went he visibly and
demonstrably made friejids. The
west took to him. I will not pretend
to say how many electoral or popu
lur votes Mr. Davis has made for
himself in West Virginia, Indiana,
Illinois, Wyoming. lowa, Nebraska,
Colorado. Kansas and Missouri on
his five-thousand-mile journey, nor
will I predict which of these states
he will carry in the election, but I
do say that he gained strength and
made votes in every one of these
states.
He succeeded by being himself—
his agreeable, charming, natural
self. He is simple and approachable
and friendly; he is dignified; he has,
to an exceptional degree, grace of
mind and of speech. He makes ev
erybody glad that he came to the
party. He found the hand-shaking
a hard chore. On the first day of
the trip, at Wheeling, an enthusias
tic and excited partisan reached up
from the platform railing, grabbed
his hand and wrenched his right
arm against the rail so successfully
that he pulled a tendon in the can
didate’s elbow. This caused him
trouble from time to time all through
the trip, and toward the end of it
he was doing much of his hand
shaking with his left hand.
Little Characteristics Plead
It is some of the little things on
the trip, however, that I choose to
write about, revealing little inci
dents and happenings that made Da
vis a definite human being. They
served Mr. Davis as well as his
set speeches and his contact with
local political leaders.
I saw him, for example, make
votes at Denver. In his evening
speech there in the auditorium
crowded with twelve or fourteen
thousand people, he put on his
glasses to read an extract from
Dawes’ Lincoln speech. As he made
a gesture the glasses fell to the
floor and bounded on to the press
table below the platform. Fred Es
sary, of the Baltimore Sun, picked
them up and, after hesitating a mo
ment, stood up and offered them
to Mr. Davis. The candidate stop
ped in the middle of a sentence, in
the full flood of his discourse, and
•taid, "Thank you” to Essary and
then resumed.
Two women sitting behind me were
delighted. “Did you notice that?”
said one to the other, "He did not
take those glasses without saying
anything; he did not even wait un
til he came to the end of his sen
tence; he just instinctively and nat
urally stopped in the middle of a
sentence and thanked that reporter
tor his courtesy.” Rater in the eve
ning I heard these two telling this
story to a group of people in the
lobby of the Brown Palace hotel and
making an impression with it. 1
lave no doubt it is being told with
variants all over Colorado now. It
is by such little things that a can
didate is measured and judged.
I nstudied Kindness
Again, in the Muelbach hotel, at
vansas City, Mr. Davis made half a
dozen or more warm friends by an
other little act of unstudied cour
tesy. He spent Sunday in Kansas
City, and all day long his rooms
were crowded. Late in the after
noon. when the throng was thick
est, Mr. Davis noticed an old gen
tleman who was standing and wait
ing for an opportunity to speak to
him. Davis stepped into an adjoin
ing room and brought his visitor a
chair. The old boy was immensely
touched; he was telling everybody
about it for an hour—"He ain't one
of those proud, stuck-up fellows; he
went over and got me a chair him
self. He did not send someone for
it and he did not leave me standing
after he saw me. He went straight
into the next room and got me a
chair and made me comfortable.” So
are partisans made.
Political Ability
We are justly esteemed one of the
great politically-minded constituen
cies, but there are arid areas within
our great domain. A candidate for
the presidency encounters some sur
prising spots. Three horse wranglers
up in Estes Park did not know that
this was a presidential year or the
names of any of the candidates.
Their ignorance was not due to iso
lation; they were “dude wranglers”
and had been in contact daily all
through the summer with intelligent
men and women —tourists and vaca
tion seekers from all parts of the
country. Apparently they had not
heard the presidential campaign
mentioned. The barber in the vil
lage of Estes Park, who had been
shaving city people all the summer,
asked if Mr. Davis was a Denver
man. He did not know the names
of the other candidates. How many
more such people there may be in
the electorate 1 have no manner of
knowing, but these are actual in
stances. They may explain the
"apathy of which political workers
c- . . iin.
Radio Big Factor
i ; Is vividly brought home, how
i ever, to any one who goes cam
paigning this year that radio broad
casting is becoming the most im
portant avenue of communication
in this country and is doing more,
to awaken political interest and en
large political intelligence than any
other one factor. Some evidences ui
this were brought to the notice of
Mr. Davis and those with him.
i Coming out of the auditorium at
I Omaha at the conclusion of his
I hour and a quarter speech, Mr. Da-
I vis was handed a telegraph mes
| sage from Goldsboro. N. C., saying
lin substance: “I have heard every
I word of your speech clearly over
Imy radio; I warmly approve what
you have to say about agriculture
and wish you good luck.” This
message was handed to Mr. Davis
a? he left the door of the hall five
minutes after he had concluded his
speech and while he was still hot
and the dew of perspiration still
upon him. Goldsboro. N. C„ I take
it. is, roughly. 1,500 miles from
Omaha.
Arriving at his train five minutes
later, Mr. Davis was handed an
other pack of telegrams from people
who had heard his speech over the
radio. One I remember came from
Tulsa, Okla.; another from Staun
ton. Va.; another from western
New York; another from the Adi
rondacks; another from somewhere
in Pennsylvania. This happened
more than once; it came to be a
commonplace that Mr. Davis would
receive a half dozen or more tele-'
grams from various parts of the
country about his speech while the
echo of his words was still ringing
and his auditors were leaving the
hall.
Apparently, Davis made good with
this vast unseen audience. The
political effect is incalculable. It is
coming to be that the number of
people who crowd into a hall to hear
a candidate are the least important
part of his audience. The people
who never see the speaker outnum
ber those who come to the meeting
by more than a hundred to one.
At Mr. Davis’ out-door meeting in
Ft. Wayne, Ind., the other night one
of two men sitting beside me on the
platform turned to his companion
and said. “Now’, that we've had a
good look at him, Jim. and shook
his hand, let’s go home and hear him
on the radio: we can get it much
better there and hear everything he
says.”
Only Clear Specking Needed
I followed them off the platform
and circulated among the crowd.
The meeting was held in the city
square; trolley cars passed on the
outskirts and automobile traffic. In
the fringes of the crowd I heard
again half a dozen times people say
to one another, “Now that we have
seen him, let's go home where it is
quiet and get his speech on the
radio.”
The radio and the loud voice
amplifier have changed the whole
conditions of troubadouring. Candi
dates have only to speak clearly and
I enunciate clearly and their mes
| sage carries. The loudest-voiced
I orator, Bryan at his best, the fa
, mous Bell of California, all others
whose piide and boast was that they
I could be heard by thousands are re
duced to nothingness in competition
| with the radio and amplifier. These
| mechanical inventions ease im
measurably .the strain on the condi-
I date.
Mr. Davis had the 'car in 'which
he traveled fitted with amplifiers.
He could, and did, address meetings
in railroad stations, in small towns,
in railroad yards and elsewhere, and
easily overcame the noises that
! usually have such a destructive es
, feet on these gatherings. All of the
halls in which he spoke, except the
little gymnasium at Cheyenne, were
equipped with amplifiers inside the
building and out. It was child's play
to talk clearly to fourteen thousand
people inside and to other thousands
outside who could not gain admit
tance, without the slightest strain
or fatigue.
This new condition, and these new
inventions, are bound to affect the
whole problem of oral messages tc
large numbers of people. The actual
audience does not matter so much
if broadcasting conditions are right
and the candidate has a clear-carry
ing voice. It has been discovered
that Mr. Davis has a radio voice.
Writes Own Stuff
Mr. Davis has one point In com
. mon with Will Rogers—he writes
: his own stuff. There has been no
other president op presidential can
didate of our time of whom that
could be said expect of Woodrow
M ilson. Also. M;-_ Davis is afflicted
with an artistic temperament—writ
ing a speech is no easy matter for
him. He will spend a half hour or
an hour, or any amount of time,
searching for the right word. He
goes actually into the throes o f com
i position. And, when he is in his
I agony, he is. as the current phrase
| has it, “fit to be tied."
He concentrates. He writes and
he re-writes, seeking clarity and
| simplicity. All of his set speecnes,
except the first speech at Wheeling.
• were prepared en route on the trip
1 His usual practice was to sit alone
lin his room with a pad of yellow
! paper and a soft lead pencil art'-'
write down what he wanted to say.
i From this enlarged memoranda he
would dictate e first draft. If np-
, portunity offered he wmild let this

draft get “cold” before he began to
edit and revise it.
He went at this task as merciless
ly as an enraged copy-reader given
a sophomore oration to prepare for
a crowded last edition. He would
mutilate it—cutting out great col
lops. Then he would begin to re
write. The result was. and I think
I heard all of his speeches, that he
never used a hackneyed or a stero
typed phrase in the whole course of
his journey.
His impromptu speeches, and many
of them were impromptu, were, if
anything, better than his prepared
addresses. He has a large vocabu
larly and complete command of it.
He much prefers the freedom of
speaking without manuscript. Even
when he had prepared a speech he
had no hesitancy, when delivering it,
in leaving the manuscript, rephras
ing, putting in new stuff, or amplify
ing what he had written. And in
every case he improved his written
speech.
Davis is a better indoor speaker
than an outdoor speaker. He is
more felicitous inia small hall than
in a large one. Some of his most ef
fective work was done before au
diences of six hundred to fifteen hun
dred at luncheons and dinners.
The Real American
Byway of illustration, here is a
bit from a luncheon speech he made
at Denver :
“We have some great landmarks
in American history: Washington’s
farewell address; his testament to
his countrymen; Jefferson's first in
augural; the exposition of his politi
cal philosophy; Monroe's message
charting the course that our foreign
policy has followed ever since; the
first and second inaugurals of Lin
coln, and the Emancipation Procla
mation itself, that spoke the word of
freedom to ten million men and
women. We have the great mes
sages of Grover Cleveland, with the
sturdy honesty that breathed in ev
ery line. We have the vigorous preach
ings of Thedore Roosevelt, calling his
countrymen to a higher morality and
braver deeds. We have the majestic
messages of Woodrow Wilson that
will live as long as American politi
cal history fill the printed page.
“And yet, were I called upon to
choose the words I have suggested, I
should take none nor afiy of those.
I think the great words that spoke
the American nation into life, and
that have sustained it and exalted it
ever since that great day, are the
opening words of the great Declara
tion itself:
“‘We hold these truths to be self
evident: That all men are created
equal; that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain inalien
able rights; that among those rights
arte life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness; and to secure these rights
governments were instituted among
men, drawing their just powers from
the consent of the governed.’
"In that language the founders of
this nation baptized the national
child, in the name of a trinity of
great ideals: human equality, person
al liberty; and popular sovereignty.
And the man who believes in those
things is an American—and no
other man is.”
This brought his entire audience to
its feet shouting and cheering. It
is a simple enough bit. and in sub
stance a recitation from the pre
amble of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, yet it was precisely what
his audience wanted to hear, and
what all of his audiences wanted to
near, since they were as much in
terested in Davis, the man, as in
his political- views.
20 Acres of People
Os all the meetings that Mr. Davis
had, the great rally and barbecue
at Eastwood farm, near Bunceton,
Mo., was the one that will be remem
bered the longest. To speak pre
cisely, there never has been such
another political outdoor meeting in
the United States. Twenty acres of
people, conveyed in forty acres of
motor cars (when parked) came to
hear him. It was unlike anything
the oldest campaigner had ever
seen. These people had come for
miles; they had been two days in
assembling them; the crowd num
bered 50,000 or more. They came
to have a good time, and they did.
Three or four thousand could crowd
into the tent where Mr. Davis spoke:
the others massed outside and heard
him from the amplifiers.

YOUTH ENTERS OGLETHORPE
IN EDUCATION EXPERIMENT
Intellectual World Watches
Atlanta Boy's Progress.
May Mean Elimination of
Time Standard
As the doors of Oglethorpe uni
versity swung open last Wednesday
for the 1924-25 session, there walked
through the academic doors the
youngest college matriculate in the
history of the institution and proba
bly any other southern university
of the rank of Oglethorpe.
Little Arthur Gottesman, ten
years old, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Gottesman, 223 Washington
street, entered with the "shining
morning face” made immortal by
William Shakespeare, but totally
without "walking unwillingly,” as
did the Avon bard's anonymous
youth.
Arthur represents one of the most
interesting experiments that ever
has been tried in the field of Ameri
can education. Oglethorpe, with the
ether standard colleges of Georgia,
is rigid in her entrance require
ments. AH students entering the
university from Georgia are re
quired to present a. diploma from an
accredited high school or else stand
an examination for entrance.
Little Arthur Gottesman is not a
graduate of an accredited high
school and he has not stood the us
ual type of examination, officials of
the university say, but he has been
admitted to Oglethorpe as a special
case in order to test a principle
which many educators believe will
revolutionize education in America,
for Arthur recently stood an exam
ination covering severe intelligence
tests and his mark was 184, or 84
points above the average.
High Intelligence Record
This is believed by Oglethorpe of
ficials to be the highest intelligence
record ever made in Atlanta by any
student and is one of the highest
ever made in America.
On recommendation of Wesley
Peacock, head of the Peacock
school, who, in company with a
number of noted educators, applied
the tests to the boy, Dr. IhornweL
Jacobs, president of Oglethorpe, has
invited Arthur to allow the experi
ment to be made, determining
whethe ra boy of ten years, physic
ally, who has proven himself to be
a boy of nineteen mentally, can car
ry the studies of the freshman class
ir a standard college.
The course to be taken by Arthur
will include freshman English, fresh
man history, freshman economics,
freshman German, freshman French
and freshman Bibile, which is a
study of the Old Testament.
“He will be shown no favors by
any member of the faculty, Dr.
Jacobs stated, ‘‘but the results of
the experiment will be most care
fully noted not only on the campus
at Oglethorpe university, but
throughout the whole educational
world.”
In discussing this unusual case.
Dr. Jacobs says: .
“Perhaps the greatest complaint
made against our public school sys
tem in the past has been that indi
vidual excellence was consistently
submerged in a great ocean of
mediocrity. Seated side by sl d® ,
the same classroom and kept there
year after year may be two students,
one of whom is an intellectual race
horse and the other an intellectual
tortoise.
Time Standard Protested
“Many protests have been regis
tered against measuring education
by the time standard. Even in the
colleges the application of severe
rules compressing all the minds of
the school into the same form and
mold has been too frequent. Many
educators are in rebellion against
this form of compulsory uniformity.
"Should Arthur be able to carry
his studies successfully at Ogle
thorpe he will furnish a classic il
lustration in favor of those who con
tend that mental ability and no’,
physical age should be the standard
tor scholastic advancement.
Young Gottesman has been an ob
ject of wonder to educators in the
city from the time he entered the
third grade of the Georgia Avenue
.school at the age of six. He remain
ed in the fourth grade an entire
vear but completed the fifth grade
work in two weeks. He remained
in the sixth grade a year and com
pleted the seventh grade work m
four and one-half months.
He attracted wide attention when
he entered Boys' High school last
year, and it is a matter of record in
the school that he handled the high
school curriculum easily.
In his personal habits he is normal
in every regard, taking an interest
in things which appeal to every
voungster of ten. There is nothing
abnormal in his life save his puzzling
ability to master subjects of study
in incredibly short time.
American Woman and
Husband to Hunt Big
Game in East Africa
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—Mrs. E. L.
King, champion crack shot of the
American northwest, accompanied
by her husband and their ten year
old sdn, Ernest, sailed today aboard
the liner Majestic for a big game
hunting expedition in British East
Africa.
The Kings, who live in Wi-ona,
Minn., intend to shoot lions, ele
phants. buffaloes, rhinoceroses and
other jungle beasts. These will be
given to the University of Minne
sota and the American Museum of
N tural History.
Already a safari, composed of 100
black porters, each of whom will
carry sixty pounds of baggage on
the long trek into the wilderness,
is being organized for them in Nai
robi, capital of British East Africa.
The hunt will take place west of
the capital.
For shooting of elephants and
lions Mrs. King will use a .465
calibre double barreled rifle which
resembles a portable cannon, the
cartridges being about four inches
long. Her husband will use a still
larger gun, one of .577 calibre.

Senator Johnson said:
“It would be more appropriate
that independent electors should be
chosen, but we can assume that th<

for electors under the socialist label
when a court controlled by partisan
ship denies them their constitutional
rights.”

■PION OF GOLF
ARDMORE, Fa., Sept. 27.—(8y the
Associated Press.) • —• Robert Tyre
Jones, Jr., of Atlanta, come to man’s
estate, today acquired the honor he
sought in vain for eight years of his
youth—the national amateur golf
championship. In the final round
of the annual tournament he defeat
ed George von Elm, of Los Ange
les, by the unprecedented score 9
and 8 for the concluding match of
the week's competition.
Triumph came at the Merion Crick
et club where in 1916, a boy of 14
who wore short pants even when not
playing golf; first attracted atten
tion by his ability at what some
scoffers have often termed an old
man’s game. Many have been his
disappointments since then.
A favorite several times hitherto
to win the amateur crown, he was
eliminated by opponents of far less
average ability. The open title came
to him last year only after his aver
age score per hole over a period of
years had been less than that of
any other competitor.
Now, with family and business
matters to attend to besides golf and
about to cast his first vote for presi
dent, he joins the select class of link
stars who have won both the ama
teur and open titles. There are only
three others and two of them were
eliminated in this tournament. The
three are Jerome D. Travers, of New
York, Francis Ouimet, of Boston,
and Charles Evans, Jr., of Chicago.
Every inch a champion and prob
ably a great factor in championship
competition till the years weary him
in long 36 hole match play as they
wearied other stars this week, Bob
by, as they call him except a few
Atlanta friends who have taken off
the last syllable, shot his usual ma
chine-like golf today.
His game was a bit inferior to the
great heights he reached in his semi
final match with Francis Ouimet,
but he was better than Von Elm in
every branch and was never down
after the second of the 28 holes,
which the 36 holes match consisted
of as a result of the decisive vic
tory.
