Qualifications.
The following Is from The Roanoke
(Va.) World:
Wilson clubs sre being organized all
over the country, the.state of Texas
being first with nineteen. In this work
Virginia ought ! to take, the lead. Mr.
Wilson Is a native of this state and
this fact should make every Virginian
feel kindly toward him.
His career** has been crowned with
many distinctions. As an author and
teacher he has won renown, his history
of the United States and his work as
president of Princeton being among his
specially notable achievements. His
election ss governor of New Jersey
brought him into political prominence
and made Wm the probable nominee of
the Democratic party for president.
Mr. Wilson has three characteristics
which appeal strongly to people. They
are: A clean life, freedom from profes-
rional politics and sympathy with pro
gressive Ideas. To have for their,
standard-bearer a man who has not
devoted his life to office-seeking and
office-holding |s not only a refreshing
prospect, but the chief reason .for the
enthusiasm manifested in Mr. Wilsons
randldacy.
Mr Wilson fits into the situation per
fectly. He possesses Ideal qualifica
tions for the post of leadership and
gives assurance to Democracy that un-
ier his command the victories which it
das won In the past year will continue.

Washington, Nov.* 7.—Just before
leaving: for New York today, “Uncle
Joe" Cannon, who with other members
of the appropriation committee of the
house of representatives will make a
trip to,Panama to inspect the work on
the canal, expressed a gloomy outlook
for Republican success next fall. He

IF THE DEMOCRATS WIN
WILSON IS STRENGTHENED
Newark, N. J., Nov. 7.—The New Jer
sey election today was vital to the
presidential aspirations of Governor
Woodrow Wilson. The Democrats have
made a hard campaign, and it was con
ceded that the election of a Democratic
legislature would be a great boost to
the aspiratrons of Governor Wilson. In
’addition to the legislative election, mu

Shanghai, Nov. 7c-The Chinese em

the rebels today, according to various
reports here. Direct communication
with Pekin had been cut off tor twelve
hours at the time of the sending of this
dispatch and confirmation of the re
ports that the anti-Manchu forces in
the capital had seized the throne, put
ting the imperial court to flight, could
not be confirmed. However, general
belief was expressed that the rebels
had finally taken Pektn, together with
the machinery of the government.
The exact Whereabouts of General Li
Yuan Heng, the rebel commander-ln-
chlef, is unknown. Today he was hailed
throughout the empire a* “the savior
of China." There were wild manifesta
tions of Joy over the complete victory
of the revolution and pictures of the
rebel general were borne thru the
streets amid general rejoicing. The rev-
olutlonary tri-color of red, white and
blue was displayed everywhere. .
The magnitude of the revolutionary
victory and the edope of ‘J>e revolu

was sbqwn by the officials of the dif

their headquarters In this city In the
results of the elections held today for
governors of flvs states and numerous
minor officers In many other states.
The leaders at the headquarters of the
bureaus which are advocating the
nomination of Senator LaFollette to
succeed President Taft and those offi
cers of the.Natlon.il Progressive Re
publican league agreed that the results
of today’s elections would go far toward

MASSACHUSETTS ELECTION
IS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
Boston, Nov. 7.—The eyes of the en
tire nation were centered, upon Mas
sachusetts tollxyr the election In the
Bay auto being regarded as the po
lltlcal weather vane for the 1912 presi
dential contest. Following a ' bitter
campaign, a heavy early vote was re
corded. ' Eugene N. Foss headed the
Democratic state ticket, running for
re-election as governor, and Lieuten
ant Governor Louis A. Frothlngham
was the Republican gubernaWnar'can-
dtdato. While Governor: Foss WAS
elected lost year . In - * this' rock-ribbed
Republican stronghold by a plurality
of moro than 35,000, Republicans de
clared that ha would bo snowed under

tain that opinion. “I will win by at
least 65,000 votes,” he predicted.
MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS .
IN OHIO INDICATE TIDE
Columbus, Ohio, Nov, 7.—Municipal
elections were held throughout Ohio
today. Interest Is attached to the Cin
cinnati election because of the pres-
enee there of President Taft, who voted
early. In the larger cities the cam
paign had been spirited because of the
divisions In the lines of the Republican
and Democratic parties and by reason
of the determination of the leaders to
strengthen their organizations. Anoth
er element was a large Socialist vote
expected In many large cities, especial
ly In Columbus, where It was conceded
the Socialists would elect several coun
oilmen and possibly a mayor.
HEAVY VOTE POLLED IN
STATE OF RHODE ISLAND
Providence, R. I., Nov. 7.—One of the
heaviest votes In the history of the
state was cast throughout Rhode Is
land today In the state election. The
largest registration In the history of
the state—90,000—had Indicated that a
big vote would follow. The tariff had
been made the predominant Issue by
the Republicans, who predicted that
Governor Arem J. Pothier would be re
elected, defeating his Democratic oppo
nent, L. A. Waterman, by a big ma
jority. The chief Issue of the Demo
crats was abolition of the property
qualification of voters. The general
assembly will be Republican.
W. J. BRYAN APPEALS TO
PROGRESSIVE REPUBLICANS
Lincoln, Nebr, Nov. 7.—Judges of the
state supreme court, a railroad commis
sioner and regents of the state univer
sity were voted for throughout the

dent John p.: White, of tho United Mine

When Greek Meets Greek in
Labor War the Consumer
Gets a Bigger Check.
That portion of Atlanta', population
which frequents restaurants Is duo a
big surprise, according to the Greek
restaurant keepers. ,
An Irish stew that Is fifteen cents per
plate will soon be twenty cents. Spa
ghetti and tomatoes now billed at twen
ty cents, will take a. Jump to twenty-
five cents, and so on up tho list, for a
flve-cenf Jump is to he ordered-on all
tho "special bills” In the Greek cafes,
Just because the mysterious employees
who fix up the grub In the kitchen re
fuse to work fourteen hours a day.
The ultimatum of the Greek em
ployees, who have been threatening, to
form a union for some time, was * de
livered to the restaurant keepers Mon
day night, when It waa rumored that
the proprietors had ordered an advance
in hours and a cut In wages of twenty
per cent.
The employees 1st It be understood In
no unmistakable terms that an Increase
In hours arid decrease In wages would
not be borne. For several hours Mon.
day night during a meeting called by
Elllas Chotos. of the Eagle cafe, things
looked squally. Conversation on the
Turkish war waa forgotten. The inter
nal dissension that threatened to dis
rupt the local camp to the chagrin of
the proprietors, and the despair of those
who eat In restaurants was given pre
cedence over the hammer-and-tonge
affair In Tripoli.
A strike was averted only thru the
decision of the proprietors to recede
from their position, but In doing so they
say they backed up against the stone
wall of no profits.
According to the best Information,
the restaurant keepers assert that they
are In an unfortunate position. With
the price of foodstuffs up In the air
and still soaring and their help de
manding shorter hours, they face but
one alternative—the price on Irielj
stew must go up; likewise that on spa
ghetti and tomatoes and everything
else.
What the outcome of the rather hazy
mlx-up will be Is doubtful, but ths
employees, who are few and In great
demand, are standing firm, and to slip
an Increase of hours over on them Is
next to Impossible. The restaurant
keepers want to break the news g-nily
that prices must go up. but they ate
all of one opinion that a boost In rates
It the only solution.
"How Winnipeg Won" In Its battle
with an electric light and. power com
pany which kept prices ao high that In
dustries were squeezed out was related
Tuesday morning by James G. Ross-
man, a former Atlantan, who came
South for a flying visit to his father
and mother In Greensboro and stopped
for a day to chat with old friends. Mr.
Rossman was formerly vice president
of the Georgia Railway and Electric
Company, then manager of Ponce De
Leon park, but for some time has been
general manager of the city light and
power department of Winnipeg. Can
ada, a municipally owned plant, which
was built to gtvs Winnipeg a chance at
industrial expansion. The way It did It
sounda like owe of thoie "big business"
stories In the magazines.
"Winnipeg had to have a plant of its
own," sold Mr. Rossman. "Ho we went
ahead and spent »6,000,0n0 to ..build It
and we wlll spend $1,000,000' more next
year in extensions. We’re selling’ cur
rent at Just half tho old price.’ Yes, It’s
breaking even, and the private plant
muBt either sell out, close out or cut
Its rate to meet ours, which will be all
the same to Wlnnlneg. All wo want Is
cheap power.” Then he described the
conditions leading up to the cltys go
ing Into the electric business.

CLARK 60S ACT
“ Using Party to Sell Whisky to
Negroes,” Declares Henry
S. Jackson.-
HIS MOVE IS REPUDIATED
Respectable Republicans Con
demn Him and State Com
mittee Turned Him Down.
GIVEN CLEAR FIELD
Week Beginning November 27
Set for Hearing 146 Cases ,
Against Lenders.
STATE EXPECTS TO WIN
Appeal of Loan Agents to Su
preme Court-Fails —Lost
Also in Washington.
The. loan shark cases, 146 In all.
against sixteen different firms and their
officers, the result of the recent cam
paign against questionable money lend
ers, will be brought to trial before
Judge L. A. Roan In the criminal di
vision of superior court on Novem
ber 27.
Solicitor Hugh Dorsey will clear the
docket of ’other than Jail cases to give
tho loan shark prosecution, headed by
Linton Hopkins and Don K. Johnson,
the rlght'-of-way. The Jail cases will
be concluded during the week of No
vember 20 and the loan shark*, will go
to the Jhry during the week of Novem
ber 27.
While the state anticipates a hard
fight. It la confidently believed that
once a single prosecution Is obtained
the remainder of casea will be easy. All
of the case* against the various con
cerns are of a similar nature.
The loan sharks apparently played
thelq last card before the state supreme
court and lost. In on* case, appealed
to the high tribunal, the constitution
ality of the law was questioned on
the grounds that It abridged the right
of contract. In a long opinion, to which
there wss no dissent, the supreme court
held that the law waa clearly a police
regulation and constitutional.
At the same time the United State*
supreme court held almost Identically
the same thing In a case of a similar
nature appealed from a.different state,
making further appeal fruitless.
The prosecution of the loan shark*
for charging more than th# legal rate of
five per cent a month allowed In such
cases was the result of a popular cam
paign waged by The Georgian and the
citizens of Atlanta,
Telephone Message Beats the
Train to Atlanta, and Police
man Meets Them.
Throwing all feminine fear to the
wind*, two unsophisticated country
glrla stole from their homes Monday at
midnight, and,. without escort, trudged
a distance of four.miles thru lonely
woods to Hazlehurst. There, at an
early morning hour, they boarded a
train for Atlanta—two runaways.
The train was beaten to Atlanta by &
long-distance telephone message to tho
police, and when the girls alighted In
th* 1 * depot th'-y were r**rognlzed from
descriptions by Policeman McGaheeand
taken into custody. They are Glftdya
Nelson, eighteen years or age, and Viola
O'Quinn, age seventeen, cousins. r s
Chagrined over their early capture,
tho two runaways,. with’tears In their
eyes, were escorted by the officer to
the police station and turned over to
Chief Beavers, who questioned them in
his office.
“We were not treated right at home,
said the two cousins, "and we Just de
cided we would go out into the’world
and see what we could do. We had
never been away before, but we were
satisfied that we had grit enough to get
along all right.”
Asked their destination, they ex
plained they intended going to Car
ters ville, where *they hoped‘to get Jobs
In a cotton mill. Both said, however,
they had never worked in a mill before,
but were willing to do this In order to
make an honest living.
After telling of their midnight flight
thru the country to the little depot at
Hazlehurst, the girls were asked by
Chief Beavers If they were not afraid
to do such a thing.
"Oh, no," replied Gladys, “we were
not the least bit scared. We thought
it great fun. We Just felt that we were
doing something strange. But Til tell
you everything waa mighty quiet and
lonely."
“Yes, and If something had made a
noise or Jumped up in front of us, I
guess we would have run ourselves to
death," smilingly interposed Viola.
‘•Well, as long as that didn't occur.
It’s all right, anyway,” replied Gladys.
Gladys Is an orphan and lives with
her grandmother and halfbrother. Viola
lives with her father and Btepmother
but a short distance from the home of
her cousin.
The two girls carefully planned the
runaway, and Mondav night stayed to
gether, so there would be no hitch at
the critical moment Thi* moment
came at midnight, when the runaways,
arising and dressing, noiselessly climb
ed out of a window' la their room and
flitted away in the darkness 1 toward
Hazlehurst.
Republican party leaders and repre
sentative negroes of Atlanta are up In
arms over th«- art Jon <-f Clark Grier, a
white man, of Dublin, Ga^ in trying to
sell them whisky from a Jacksonville,
Fla., liquor house, under the guise of
doing th®m a political favor in point
ing out what he claims is. a way for
them to register and vote in the Georgia
elections.
The publication in The Georgian on
Monday of one of Grier's circular let
ters being sent broadcast to negroes
over the state was like exploding a
bomb in the Republican camp. Party
leaders took notice of It immediately
and undertook to offset the effect it
was naturally expected to have on the
party in this state.
Henry S. Ja< kson. eniiertnr nf in-
ternal revenue in Georgia, was asked
Tuesday morning if ho had read Grier's
letter and the story accompanying It in
The Georgian. He replied.
“Puts Party in a Hole.”
“I most certainly did. It puts the
Republic.™ party In Georgia in a most
compromising position and at the hands
of an irresponsible man who has no
standing in the party leadership In
this state. Grier Is using the Repub
lican party without any semblance of
authority for the financial benefit of a
Jacksonville liquor house. The leaders
of our party will most certainly take
notice of this matter. As soon as I shall
have had time for a conference with
Colonel Walter Johnson, United States
marshal, a statement will be prepared
to set the party organization right in
the public mind and to disclaim a re
sponsibility on the party that Is Implied
hut floes not In reality exist.”
“Mr. Grier,” continued Mr. Jackson.
"Is not authorized to speak for the Taft
clubs of Georgia, and as far as I know
he Is not one of the leaders of the Re-
f iubltcan organization In this state, a*
I his claim. He is not In harmony
with the organization or In the confi
dence of Its leaders.
Engaged in Whisky Trade.
“As I understand It. ne In engaged
In the whisky business, representing
certain whisky houses of Jacksonville,
and that he undertakes to get for them
lists of negroes' names throughout the
state, whom they circularize and ad
vertise their liquors thru. * To these
whisky dealers, ,Mr. Grier ha* repre
sented that he hfts much Influence,^&ot
only with the negroes of the st4Jl?*uut
with the Republican party. Which Is
untrue, as neither white nor colored
members of the party take any stock
In his whisky business or hU political
career.
The best evidence of this Is shown
by the action of the state central com
mittee in refusing to adopt any of hln
plans or suggestions, and refusing to
lend themselves to his movement,
which seemed, to be an effort to hood
wink the colored people of the state by
making them believe that he waa their
friend and deeply Interested in their
registration. This activity on his part
was solely for the purpose of getting
whisky orders.
