OHIO W TO
FIX TAFT'S FATE
Roosevelt Men Declare Colonel
Will Win. But President Is
Confident.
mi.IM BUS. OHIO, May is.—The
battleground in the contest fol the
presidential nomination in each *»f the
tuo big parties is now < entered in
Ohio, where for the hist time in its
historj a presidential primary "ill be
held on Tuesday, May sl. The Buck-
State has two "favorite sons in
the field. Pi esidi nt Taft and Governor
Judson A. Harmon, one of whom is bat
tling for renomination at the hands of
the Republicans and the other strug
gling for his elevation from the govern
orship to rhe president' through the
support of the Democrats.
The names of candidates on the pri
mary ballots are as follows:
Republicans Robert M. LaFollette.
William H. Taft and Theodore Roose- ■
velt.
Democrat." Judson Harmon and
Woodtow Wilson.
In the Republican part.' both the I aft
and Roosevelt organizations are mak
ing claims of victory
At the Roosevelt headquarters it was
predated today that the colonel would
capture a majority of the district di le
gates. and it was further unofficially
claimed that he would sweep the state.
Taft Forces Control Committee.
The Taft forces control the state cen
tral and executive committees, the con.
grossional organization and 75 of the 88
county committeemen.
They Claim they will sweep the state,
capturing every district delegate and all
the delega tea-at-large.
While Senator LaFollette still has an
organization, it is believed that he will
run a poor third, though his supporters
hope to see him ride to victory on the
crest of the wave of dissatisfaction oc
casioned by the Roosevelt-Taft contro-
Bryan Leads Fight on Harmon.
In the Democratic patty a stronger
fight has probably been made than tn
any other state in the Union. Governor
Judson Harmon, who was elected to m
ofti e b> tiie largest majority ever given
a Democrat, is seeking the stale delega
tion to Baltimore as opp"S d m i
candidacy of Govt mor Woodrow W il
son Then has been a great deal of in
• surgemy against Governor Harmon,
and prominent men of Ins party, in
cluding William Jennings Bryan, have
entered the state in opposition to him.
However, the Harmon men control the
Democratic stale organization and
show little sign of worriment over the
outcome.
Tiie Republican primary is designed
to select 42 district delegates, some in
structed. others uninstructed. to the na
tional convention. In addition to these
delegates, six dglegates-at-laige will be
chosen directly at the primary, while
other districts will select delegates to a
~,untv convention, which in turn will
choose the delegates to the state con
vention.
Instructed Delegates.
The Democrats will hold what is
known as a "preferential' primary, in
structing all of the district delega.es to
the Baltimore convention.
From the start the campaign in Ohio
has been spectacular, and special trains
have been dodging about from city to
hamlet in the Interests of one candi
date or another. It was at 1 olumbus,
in an address before the constitutional
convention. that Colonel Roosevelt
threw his hat into the ring, and it was
at Toledo a short time later that Presi
dent Taft gave it his first vigorous
kick. Since then tiie war has raged in
termittently. and neither side has
seemed to have tile adxanlag* .
Tin result of the primary will be
crucial to the Republican candidates.
Should Colonel Roosevelt capture a ma
jority of the delegates to the i liieago
■ onvention from the president s home
Stale, it is believed that Mr. Taft s can
didacy w ill be pronounced hopeless ami
a "dark horse" will be groomed for the
race. If. on the other hand, the presi
dent should receive an unqualified in
dorsement from Ohio Republicans, it is
eomeded that this would largely offset
the adverse effect of the Illinois and
Pennsylvania primaries, and place Mr.
Taft in a commanding position.

Campaign Manager Assures
the Colonel in Ohio He Has
Already Won.
DELAWARE, OHIO, May IS.
Hanked by a galaxy of leaders, Colonel
Roosevelt plunged into the fifth day of
his Ohio tight here today. Senator
Dixon, tin- ex-president's national man
ager. came on from Washington to tell
him that the light tor the nomination is
won. Dixon assured Colonel Roosevelt
that the estimate of . r >oo delegates al
read' elected is right.
"They can't beat you," he declared
enthusiastically. "The other side is
scared. They will try to put through
some queer deals before the national
convention, but they won't cheat you
out of the nomination: that's sure."
‘‘We'll Carry Ohio." Says Stubbs.
Gov, no: Stubbs of Kansas, who has
been stumping the state for the colo
nel. also boarded th. ex - president's
special. The gov. nor said: "Roose
velt is going Io carry Ohio. I've been
all over the state and 1 know what I
am talking about. He will be nomi
nated on the first ballot at Chicago."
To 12,000 hearers at Delaware the
colonel confided: ' There is hut one
feature in lite entire Ohio situation
which makes me have any doubt at all,
land that is the fact of the blind ballot.
I My name won t appear on the ballot.
, You will not find it there, because the
Taft management would not permit it
to be put there because they did not
want you to have a chance to vote for
it. We’re going ahead with the fight
We ate not going to let up.
"We want Ohio to be with us in the

CANTKILLTHAT
J.R.SMITHBDOM
After an Untipiely Frost It Sim
ply Changes From Governor
to Congress.
Just before the late presidential pri
mary quije a nice little gubernatorial
boom was modestly framed up for J. R.
Smith, twice the successful pilot of the
fortunes of “Little Joe" Brown upon
the troubled sea of Georgia politics.
Mr Smith, being an extremely friend
ly and good-natured sort of person,
would neither deny nor affirm the soft
impeachment. He merely smiled in a
non-committal sort of way, and let it
go at that.
Just after the heavy frost settled
down upon the Woodrow Wilson move
ment in Georgia, however, and it was
realized that the blooming thing had
withered away , never to look pretty any
more, the J R. Smith gubernatorial
boom went into quarantine—or some
whereand was heard of no more.
I When it lived. It lived in clover; but
I w hen it died, it almost died all over—
lor words to that effect!
I Those who fancied that the J It.
Smith boom never would be resurrected,
however, had another fancy coming
their way.
It has been resurrected only this
time It is a congressional boom and not
a gubernatorial boom.
I Despite Its green goggles and false
whiskers, however, many of its old
; friends see through its disguise and
I recognize it as th. same old J. R. Smith
I boom specifically directed at William!
t Schley How ard this time, and not at t
[jack Slaton, nor yet at Tom Hudson.

MINISTERS PUN
VICE CAMPAIGN
If City Commission Doesn’t Get
Real Results Pastors Will
Follow With Action.
Unless the vice commission appoint
ed by the city council recommends the
abolition of all public disreputable
houses and a vigorous suppression of
| all visible evidences of the "social evil,"
Atlanta ministers and leaders of the
Men and Religion Forward Movement
will take up the fight themselves, their
I leaders say .
A thorough investigation of condi
tions in Atlanta has already been made
by three prominent young Atlantans
under the direction of Joseph Logan,
secretary of the Associated Charities.
They discovered 44 public houses in all
parts of the city. They discovered
questionable houses in residential sec
tions. and many cheap hotels around
the center of the city. They have the
names of the owners of these houses
and the plan of the ministers is to
prosecute the owners in the courts un
der the state law.
Vice Rapidly Increasing.
A prominent Atlanta minister, in an
interview today, said they were already
prepared to take up the fight.
"The investigation has revealed hor
rible conditions,” he said. "It shows
that vice is rapidly increasing in At
lanta. It shows that even the advo
cates of segregation can not claim
there is any segregation in Atlanta.
"We do not want to persecute women
and throw them out helpless on the
world. We have provided funds and
places to train them in Industrial arts
and other means of obtaining a liveli
hood amid surroundings which will not
humiliate them. An intimate study of
the whole situation reveals no argu
ment for segregation."
Owners Are All Known.
Os the list of the owners of these
houses, about one-half are shown as
members of prominent efiurches. The
ministers have declared that these men
must give up this business or resign
from the churches.
The report shows that the women are
fined regularly by the county officials
without apeparing in court. There is
a scale of fines according to the num
ber of women who board in various
houses. The fines are divided among
the county officials as fees.

Can a Statesman Be a Christian?
FOURTEEN SAY “YES”
Can a statesman be a Christian?
Fourteen men in public life have an
swered an emphatic "Yes." They g°
further. They say that to be truly
successful, to be straight with one's
self and one's people in the exercise of
public duties, an adherence to Chris
tian principles is necessary.
Dtese men were chosen by Rev. G. 1,,
j Hanscom. D.D., pastor of the Central
Congregational church, of Atlanta.
Lpon their replies will be based Dr.
Hanscom's sermon tomorrow. Tiie men
who replied to his question are Hon.
Oscar \\. Underwood. Senator Hoke
Smith. Senator A. O. Bacon, Speaker
Champ Clark. Postmaster Hugh Mc-
Kee, Mayor Courtland S. Winn, former
Mayor Robert F. Maddox, Tax Collector
A. P. Stewart. State Treasurer W. J.
Speer. Governor Joseph M. Brown. Hon.
John M. Slaton, Hon, T. G. Hudson.
Hon. C. Murphey Candler and Judge
George Hillyer.
Question Grew and Grew,
Dr. Hanscom had asked himself the
question many times. He had often
wondered If the popular belief that
every- public man was more or less cor
rupt was correct. Could a young man
go into politics and be successful with
out adopting compromising political
expedients? Could a man in public life
draw up a code, live up to it rigidly,
and keep his head above the political
waters?
I he question in his own mind grew
to a discussion with members of his
congregation. It was finally agreed that
the question would be put to men in
public life, anil a sermon be woven
about their answers similar to another
sermon he had preached on “The Young
Man in Business." x
Many of the writers use a plain
'Yes' in answer to the question. Oth
ers go further. A letter characteristic
of all was the one written by C. Mur
phey Candler.
(rood tnen can succeed in public
life,” writes Mr. Candler. "The diffi
culty with our government is not that
the good man can t succeed because of
his principles and life, but that he de
clines to give tiie use of his- life for
the good of society."
His letter reads as follows:
Cardinal Principles for Success.
I have your favor of the 15th,
and note contents.
A discussion of the question of
the adoption and practice of Chris
tian principles as an aid to a suc
cessful career in political life in
volves first an inquiry as to what
are suclt principles. T need not
mention all. hut some of these car
dinal principles are:
Honesty of purpose and life.
Truthfulness.
Sobriety or temperance.
Respect for and obedience to law
and authority.
Forbearance.

ment by the people through chosen
representatives. 1 presume by a
successful career you mean not
merely reaching a high office, but
after attaining it the accomplish
ment of something beneficial to the I
commonwealth in its administra
tion.
The man who attains success in!
political life must enjoy the confi
dence of the people whose servant
he is. The people may be de
ceived sometimes aitd for a while
as to a man's character, but in a
lifetime they will know him and ex
tend or withhold their confidence
just as his life shows he deserves
ft. , 1
Can’t Conceal Bad Qualities,
If a man in public life shows he 1
has no convictions and practices
none; if he is not truthful In priJ
vate and public life, if he is intem
perate and therefore not always re
sponsible for his words and acts:
if he can not practice, forbearance
toward those who honestly diffe!
with him: if he has no love for hui
manity as the mainspring of lifd
hut seeks only selfish ends, he nee/
not expect a successfuf career—th
people will surely note the absene
of such principles in his dally lie
and conduct, and just so sure/
withdraw their confidence.
There have been successes whte
some of these principles were lad
ing—! presume there will always)*
—but I do not believe there w. 3
ever a public career which failecbf
success because a man belietd
right and lived right. T do knw
that careers of great promise hre
been cut short and ended in fal
ure because of the lack of Chi
lian principles as rules of condut.
Policies are offensive and a
times derided not because good mn
can't succeed, but because god
men refuse to enter public life ad
leave the making and administt
tion of law to others. They dolt
give the people opportunity to tie
their services, and the difficulty s
not that the good men can't su
ceed in political life because of Ip
principles and life, but that he du
clines the use of his life forth
good of society. He prefers pr
vate life and its less disagreeabl
duties and exacting demands. Th
danger in this government today 1
that the overwhelming majority a
our best men decline to discliargt
their civic duties or to assume anj
poper degree <>f responsibility ill
the government of society.
A’ery truly yours.
