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.

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." INDICTED ATHENS BANKER MAKES A BOND OF $5,000 ATHENS, GA.. May 23.—John W.

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. | New Snrmq Uniforms Make First Appearance at Gen eral Inspection.

IN SOUTH As a result of the announcement made by Edward H. WValker. well known Atlanta real estate man. of bls intention to organize a campaign club In the interest of Colonel Roosevelt, many business men have pledged their hearty co-operation.

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 |w ho carry eternally a lusty Watson . grouch, have done their worst to make I "the red-headed person” mad, but he ! lias disappointed them beautifully so | far ai every turn of the cards. ■ Anticipating their itforts to embar ' tass him in the household of his 1 friends. Mr. Watson did call a meeting I of ids friend; in Atlanta for the night I befori l he* election, in order that he land they might be prepared for any steam-roller tactics that somebody .might try next day which was natural I enough, a Air. Watson does carry, un | doubtedly, many sears upon his body. not always gentle rcmimlers of wounds | inllicted upon him In the past by divers I and sundry "city- politicians" here and t here. Pro-Watson Meeting. And the meeting will be held, too, for ! Mr. Watson realizes that lie must be lon his guard against insidious attacks from the outside far more alertly than lit will be neeessaty in the present crisis I Co guard against foes from w ithin. As the interesting Wat-on situation frames up today, the only person who I possibly might head Mr. Watson off in ■ his ambition to sit in the national con | vention is Mr. Watson himself. If he ' 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. TROUBLE BEGAN BY SCRATCHING PIMPLE Caused Great Disfigurement.

C. •'The trouble began by my scratching a pim ple on my face, anti then picking the scabs off. It was a round sore, red as a piece, of beef, and caused great disfigurement with my scratch ing and picking it all the time. A lady told me of soap and ointment I used that about two weeks but it did not make any im provement A friend told me of Cuticura Soap and Ointment so I got them and washed it with the Cuticura Soap and hot water, then applied the Cuticura Ointment.

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.
