Nowadays tlie hardest
thin# to find is stuff to
make a vice president of.
History used to make us
think vice presidents were
more than common mortals,
Then, too, we have one
specimen who has not yet
reached history—that is to
sav, he is still here to speak
for himself—Mr. Roosevelt.
Why not Champ Clark
for tlie vice presidency on
the next Democratic ticket
—Wilson and Clark, Wood-
row Wilson and Champ
Clark?
Every reader and thinker
who has watched the march
of events has seen by every
test that has been made
that the nation’s mind is
turned to Woodrow Wilson
in preference to any other
man, Democrat or Repub
lican, whose name . is
thought of as a presidential
possibility.
A poll of the people’s
representatives in the na
tional congress snowed un
der every other Democratic
and every Republican pos
sibility.
A poll of every congres
sional district in the United
States by a leading maga
zine, taking names entirely
at random, showed even
more overwhelming senti
ment for Woodrow Wilson.
Polls of state legisla
tures, polls of colleges, polls
of law schools and of every
kind give but one answer—
Woodrow Wilson.
Unless, then, Democracy
just insists on refusing to
take tlje reins of govern
ment it would seem that
there is no room for debate
as to who shall lead the
ticket.

Despite the fact that only admission

fans began forming outside the gates
of the Polo grounds last night, and by
dawn comprised 2,600 sleepy men and

There waa a thrill—an electric ex

Fans at Polo Grounds.
By 8 o'clock this morning the line of
clamorous fans outside the Polo grounds
had grown to such an extent that the
230 foot and mounted police under In
spector McCloskey could scarcely re
strain them. Inside the grounds a regi
ment of private detectives were gather
ing to handle the crowds after the gates
were opened.
Among those who fought and Jostled
were hundreds who gave faint utterance
to their opinion of the manner In which
the sent sale had been conducted. Cries
of graft were heard constantly and
ever}- speculator was greeted with yells
of derision, despite tjie fact that every
one of them found a ready market for
his tickets at enormously swollen prices.
Altho the game was not scheduled to
begin until 2 o'clock, the sale of admis

was decided to open the gates to the

i was present at the opening session of

Dalton, Ga., Oct. 14*—Judge R. R.
Rftmell, candidate for governor, ad
dressed a crowd of about 1,000 people
at the fair grounds Friday afternoon.
The speaker was Introduced by F. Tj
Reynolds, of Tho Dalton Argus.
Judge Russell spoko of garbled re
ports which had been printed in tho
newspapers concerning hts past!
speeches, and strongly denied he was:
a whisky man, saying that If he was
elected governor and a local option bill
were passed which provided for open :
saloons In the state he would veto the
measure. He stated positively he wn»
against the open saloon, and also stated 1
that the only local option bill he would j
favor would be one which made thnsn
counties dry which had been dry before
III.* ].rnli|l*itinri bill went into *ffoet.
Place Regulations on Sale.
The regulations he would put on tho
sale of liquor would he that where tho
majority of tho people wanted It, it
should be dispensed by a package house,
and that competent Inspectors should
see that the liquor was not of an In
ferior grade.
I’m elected governor,” he said,
“there shan't be an open saloon In tho
state. While I've always been a local
optionlst, I have never voted any but
th# prohibition ticket. I would like to
soo prohibition everywhere."
Following his utterance, along this
lino, ho launched forth Into an attack
of the present prohibition bill, which
he dubbod as “two-fneed.’’ The lockrr
club provision came In for scathing re
mark* as being In a “prohibition" hill,
and he also condemned the near-beer
feature.
Controversy With Fite.
Concerning his rocent controversy
with Judge Fite, Judge Russell said ho
had never made tho statement that tho
rohlbltlon bill could not be enforced,
e Said that his record as Judge of the
Western circuit would show that he
had Imposed heavier penalties on of
fenders of the prohibition law than aat
other Judge In Georgia.

That It's commerce Is rich and reliable,
