COLONEL BEGINS
CAMPAIGN IN
JERSEY
Crowd Cheers Wildly for the
“Man Who Beat Taft”
in Ohio Campaign.
PATERSON. N. J.. May 23.—Declar
ing that the fight he is .waging in be
half of the people is the most impor
tant since the days of Lincoln. Colo
nel Theodore Roosevelt made the first
address of his New Jersey campaign
here today.
He asserted that he is not fighting
for himself or for the Republican par
ty. but only for the people. He said
that his campaign for the presidency
was only a means to an end. his real
object being to restore and strengthen
the simple, healthy idealism which
characterized the men who a century
and a quarter ago founded the Union
and the men who 51) years ago restored
and perpetuated it.
"It is evident." he said, "that in this
contest we are fighting what is much
more than a factional fight or even a
party fight. We who in the Republi
can party are standing for the rights of
the plain citizen of the Republican’par
ty are also standing for the rights of
every decent citizen, whatever h's pol
itics.”
The ex-president declared that every
beneficiary of “privilege” was opposing
hint and that every representative of
crooked business and crooked politics
was aligned against him.
Believes in Tariff For Workers.
"I believe in a protective tariff," he
went on; “but I want to see the bene
fit get into the pay envelope as well
as appear in the dividends. F’or this
reason I advocate the creation of a
national bureau whose business it shall
be to investigate protected industries
and see that protection does really
benefit the workingman."
Colonel Roosevelt met with, an en
thusiastic reception when he invaded
New Jersey today in an effort to se
cure the 28 votes of the state Republi
can delegation. The crowd that sur
rounded him here was so turbulent that
eight policemen were required to guard
him when he. took the train for Pater
son.
As the colonel climbed aboard tlm
car the crowd surged forward.
“Three cheers for the man who beat
'Bill' Taft." they shouted. "Three cheers
for Teddy!" The cheers were given
again and again.
A woman pushed her way through
the crow'd, patted the colonel on the
back and wished him good luck. Roose
velt thanked her.
Mississippian’s Death
Causes Complication
JACKSON. Miss., May 23.—Tb*
method of selecting a successor of tli
late C. H. Alexander as delegate’from
the state at large to the convention at
Baltimore Is puzzling the Democratic
leaders in this state.
Mr. Alexander died within a few min
utes after the state convention had
ratified his election in the presidential
preference primary. While the conven
tion elected alternate delegates for the
state at large, the persons whom these
alternates should represent were not
designated. The possibility of one or
more of the regular delegates being un
able to go to Baltimore was suggested
to the convention, but ex-Governor J.
K Vardaman, who was manipulating
the steam roller, squelched all discus
sion by declaring that in event any
delegate was unable to go he should
have the privilege of selecting the al
ternate. It could not be anticipated, of
course, that a vacancy on the delega
tion would be created by death prior to
the gathering in Baltimore.
Underwood Delegate
From Tennessee Dies
NASHVILLE, TENN. May 23.—W.
A. Percy. 49 years old, a leading mem
ber of the Memphis bar, who was
elected delegare from the state at large,
during the recent Democratic state
convention, died at the Maxwell house
in this city today. His death was the
result of having been stricken with an
acute attack of uremic poisoning the
day of the convention. He had been
attended constantly by Mrs. Percy, his
brother. United States Senator Percy,
of Mississippi. Walker Percy, of Bir
mingham. and his brother-in-law and
sister. Mr. and Mrs. C. .1. McKinney,
of Knoxville, together with other rela
tives Hr will be buried at either
Memphis or Greenville, Miss.
Having been a warm supporter of
Underwood for president, he was se
lected as one of the two Underwood
men from the state-at-large. As there
are said to be no Underwood men
among the alternates, the death of the
Memphian will complicate the vote of
the Alabaman of this state.

BIFT.W.
SAYS WATTERSON
LOUISVILLE. KV.. May 23. -In a
stinging editorial in Th<j Courier-Jour
nal today Colonel Henry Watterson as
serts life terfure of office is Colonel
Roosevelt's aim and that the ultimate
result will be civil war. He says:
“The result in Ohio makes it certain
that the voters of the United States will
have to reckon with Theodore Roose
velt next November at the polls.
“It .will matter not whether he ap
pears under the emblem of a regular
party nomination or as an insurrecto
appealing to all parties. Unless he
breaks down under the strain and is
taken to a lunatic asvlum he will be a
candidate for prescient.
“There van be in his name and person
but one issue—life tenure in the execu
tive office and a civil fabric imperial in
everything except its nomenclature.
“The hideous spectacle of an ex
president, bawling like a drunken harlot
from one end of the land to th>- other,
dragging republicanism through an
ocean of filth, gives us a foretaste of
the infamies before us.
“Nothing He Will
Not Dare to Attempt.
“There is nothing which this mad
man will not dare to attempt under the
excitement and the passion of the state
of war he has stirred up in his own
mind and in the minds of the crazy
mobs that follow and applaud. That
he was able to draw a man like Taft
into a frsspool attests the cruel injury
and wrong J maniac, armed to the
teeth, may accomplish, for Taft is n<jt
only president of the United States, but
he is a gentleman of upright, self-re
specting character. It is clear now that
he had have better remained in the
white house, leaving the frenzied par
anoiac the field to himself.
“At length this nation is a world
power. The issue precipitated by The
odore Roosevelt is whether, become a
world power, this nation shall proclaim
to mankind its own failure by the aban
donment of its constitution, the over
throw of its safeguards and the naming
of a dictator. He who says this is not
the issue, little recks what her is say
ing; he who thinks it is not. were pru
dent to question his sanity. In its ulti
mate analysis and its last word the
Roosevelt propaganda is the invocation
of a madman to civil war."

910 RADICAL FIGHT
ON ROMAN CREED
BRISTOL, TENN.. May 23. -No rad
ical campaign against the Catholic
creed will be attempted by the South
ern Presbyterian church. This was de
termined today, when the Presbyterian
general assembly refused to adopt the
report of the majority of the committe> ;
on Romanism, recommending a radi“a!
change in the policy of the Southern
Presbyterian church in dealing with
Catholicism, the inauguration of a cam
paign against the Roman church and
the establishment of a foundation to af
ford temporary support to converts
from among the priests, monks and
nuns. The assembly unanimously adopt
ed a resolution by Dr. D. C. Reed, of
Columbia. S. C., accepted by Judge Al
len G. Hall, of Nashville, as a substi
tute for his minority report, declaring
that the only policy of the church in
fighting Romanism - would be by the
“dissemination of knowledge and the
faithful, earnest preaching of the Gos
pel of Jesus Christ."
Through a resolution by Dr. J. I.
Vance, of Nashville. debate on the sub
ject was shut off.
The assembly ordered the first two
sections of the majority report pub
lished for general circulation. It is a
lengthy attack on Catholicism, pre
pared by Thomas C. Johnson, of Rich
mond. and others.
Shorn Committee Resigns.
The closing hours of the assembly
are being occupied in a fight to recon
sider the resolution which divested the
committee on systematic beneficence of
its power. This committee, shorn of
its power to nominate secretaries of
the various executive committees and
members thereof, today precipitated
the debate by resigning
Sinnott Case Up Again.
Following the disposal of the Sinnott
case from Alabama yesterday, Dr. E.
M Green, of Kentucky, today presented
a resolution intended to cover the point
involved in the Alabama case, but not
passed upon by the assembly . His res
olution was to the effect that no court
of the church could constitutionally’
make a political deliverance. It was
referred to a special committee and
majority and minority reports were
made.
The majority report was to the effect
that no church court could recommend
political measures for adoption by the
legislature or attempt to control the
votes of citizens. The minority report
referred the inquiry to previous judicial
deliverances of the assembly on the
subject and it was adopted.
In the Alabama case Dr. W I.
Sinnott challenged the right of the
presbytery' to indm prohibition an I
appealed to the assembly, but, his com
plaint was refused and h> was harshly
Criticised.

Efforts to Bring Trouble Be
tween Him and Underwood
Men Completely Fails.
The various grand, gloomy and pecu
liar efforts to precipitate a row be
tween Thomas E. Watson and his Un
| derwood friends in Georgia seem com
i pletely to have failed.
j- There is nothing whatever doing in
the row business, and it looks as if
there is not going to be, moreover.
Mr. Watson is not hunting trouble,
and hasn’t been hunting it. He never
has been known to run from a row that
seemed determined to come his way,
and he has been known to go down
into the gate and meet trouble on the
threshold thereof. But invariably when
he has fought or elected to fight, there
has been something real and substan
tial in sight to fight for and about.
A Tempest in a Teapot.
The so-called anti-Watson fight
among -the Underwood leaders has
never progressed much beyond the
tempest-in-a-teapot stage, anyway.
j The Wilson and anti-Watson press of
| tiie state, aided by a few politicians

As the interesting Wat-on situation

' should come to Atlanta w ith a chip on
| liis shoulder, spoiling for a fight and
I determined to have it, he will get it.
) 'rhe same thing may be said of any del
egate to the state convention.
How Fight Must Come.
To bring the question of Mr. Wat
son's ' lection as a. delegate at large
into serious dispute before the conven
| Hon, one of two things must happen:
I Either Mr. Watson must precipitate it
I deliberately, or some delegate of recog
nized prominence, and standing must
precipitate It against him.
If Mr. Watson brings it on, the out
come would be frankly problematical;
if somebody else brings it on. the out
come is practically sure to be decidedly'
in Mr. Wati-on's favor.
From the standpoint of things as they
seem to adjust themselves today, the
forthcoming state Democratic conven
tion will be an enthusiastic, affair but
largely devoid of the spectacular.
Watson Is coming, and Watson is go.
ing to Baltimore, unless Watson him
self shall veto both or either proposi
tion.
The Convention.
As stated in The Georgian several
days ago. the state'convention will not
be held, as has been customary, in the
hall of the house of representatives
It was realized a week or more ago
by those having the matter in charge
that a very large hall must be pro
cured. if the delegates were to be ac
commodated In any sort of comfort,
not to mention the general public. The
matter finally simmered down to a
choice between the Auditorium-Armory
and the Grand opera house, and the
latter has been decided upon.
The first Joe Brown convention was
held in the Grand opera house, and it
was one of the biggest and happiest
ever held In the state.

VIRGINIA TO GIVE
ND INSTRUCTION
Democratic State Convention in
Session at Norfolk to Send
Foot-Loose Delegation.
i
NORFOLK VA , May 23.—Organiza
tion leaders smile at the claim made by
Wilson followers that the New Jersey
governor will control the state Demo
cratic convention in Norfolk today.
These leaders are as confident as ever
that the 24 delegates to Baltimore will
be uninstructed and that no resolutions
of any sort will be passed favoring the
candidacy of Wilson or any one else.
The convention was called to order at
noon with James R. Caton in the chair
as temporary chairman.
A bitter speech made last night by
Harry M. Smith, Jr., of Richmond,
famed as the Beattie lawyer, will prob
ably cost him his seat in the Baltimore
convention, though it was generally
agreed that he would be one of the
delegates from the Richmond district.
It is now- said that this honor will go to
some one else. Smith denounced the.
party leaders and came out in favor of
their recall.
Senator Bankhead, of Alabama, is on
th'- scene in the interest of Under
wood's candidacy for the presidency.
Considerable Clark sentiment prevails.
The burden of the talk of the Clark
and Underwood representatives is that
they hope to prevent any sort of action
in favor of Governor Wilson and to
secure delegates friendly to their men.
It is practically agreed that the delega
tions will vote as a unit at Baltimore.
Congressman James Hay will be tem
porary chairman tonight. On account
qf the illness of his wife. Senator Mar
tin, the dictator of the Virginia Demo
cratic organization, was unable to at
tend the convention.
There is talk that an effort will be
made to commit the party to a refer
endum on the state-wide prohibition
question.
