PRESIDENT'S WORD
WILL CLEAR AIR;
ATLANTANS TALK
.Officeholders Perturbed and
Don’t Know What’s
Next.
3 ‘A number of pronilnent bankers and
merchants were naked by The Georgian
I’rlday morning what effect the posi
tive statement of Tresldent Roosevelt
that he would not be a candidate for
re-election to the presidency would
have on the country.
As a whole, they declined to give out
statements regarding President Roose
vslt and his policies, excusing them-
selvea nn tile ground that they were Hot
politicians.
"The statement Itself," said Asa G.
farfdler, president of the Central
'BaWjmtl T'rust Corporation, "will tend
to settle matters. As long as there
was doubt and uncertainty things were
not hs stable as they might have been.
"As‘fOr Roosevelt and his policies, I
hkv'e nothing td say."
Captain J. W. English, president of
the Fourth National Bank, stated that
he had'nothing to say of the president.
“I wfll say this, though," added Cap
tain English, "I sincerely hope his suc
cessor, regardless of who he may be or
to what party he belongs, will be a
statesman and a patriot.”
“I am for Roosevelt," stated a mer
chant, “and would be willing to sign a
contract with him today to run this
country -for the next twenty years. He
is the greatest moral force In the world
today.” il ■ 1 ’ • ■'
"A perfect misfit," Is the way one
merchant describes him.
' Officeholders In Air.
President Roosevelt’s announcement
that he meant what he said, has start
ed the Federal officeholders In Atlanta
11 guessing, and now they are some
what up in the air.
Ho Is the Republican organization in
Georgia, according to the belief of
those who keep, posted on politics In
the state. Nearly all the Officeholders,
If-not all, were In favor of the. pres
ident's accepting the nomination for
n third term and none could bo found
who was willing to consider any other
candidate.
Now that Mr. Roosevelt has declared
so emphatically that there Is nothing
doing in'the third term line, they do not
know exactly how to proceed Even
now- the president Is the choice of these
Republicans and many other Repub
licans In Georgia as well as the choice
of many who have called themselves
Democrats. But for an officeholder to
lie strenuous for the third term after
the strong words from the white hough,
1 ■ to court the displeasure of the presi
dent.
All the Atlanta officeholders believe
the president is sincere In his wish to
be let alone. They believe he doean'
want another nomination, but they had
hoped circumstances and conditions
would be such that he would be com
Idled to accept.
There Is no Taft talk or any Knox
talk or any other candidate talk at
present. It Is quite probable that should
the president's choice be known in the
matter, the oflfcchblders would line up
with him, for they believe any man tits
president favors Is good enough for
them.
On the other hand. Chairman Tom
Blodgett, of the Republican State
I.eague, Is all smites and declares he will
c. ntrol the Georgia delegation and that
tt will be antl-Roosevelt and against
ary man the president fpVors.

Lincoln, Nfebr., Dec. 13.—'“While there Is

Rainy, sloppy, disagreeable alto

the quantity of slush and mud and
"sky Juice" Is quite terrific.
Friday, the Thirteenth, could be
worse, of course. It could be election
day, and dry. It might be so windy
that the “rubber necks” could do their
doadly work. But there Is tdo much
