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, hut 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 50 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 his pol
itics."
The ex-president declared that every
beneficiary of "privilege" was opposing
him and that every representative <>f
crooked business and crooked politics
was aligned against him.
Believes in Tariff For Workers.
"I behave in a protective tariff." he
went on: "hut I want to see the bene
fit get Into the pay envelope as well
as appear In the For this
reason I advocate the creation of a
national bureau whose business it shall
be to investigate protected Industries
and .see that protection doos really
benefit the workingman.”
Colonel Roosevelt met with an en
thusiastic reception when he Invaded
New Jersey today tn an effort to se
cure the 23 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 the
car the crowd surged forward.
"Three cheers for the man who heat
•Rill' Taft." they shouted. "Three cheers
for Teddy!” The cheers were given
again and again.
A woman pushed her way through
the crowd, patted the colonel on the
hack and wished him good luck. Roose
velt thanked her.
Mississippian’s Death
Causes Complication
JACKSON, Miss., May 23. -The
method of selecting a successor of the
late C. H Alexander as delegate from
the state at large to the convention at
Baltimore Is puzzling- the Democratic
leaders tn 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 torftaltlmore was suggested
to the conversion, but ex-Governor J.
K Vardaman, who was manipulating
the steam roller, squelched all discus
sion by declaring that hi event any
rich-gate 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
bm- of the Memphis bar. who was
elected delegate from the state tit 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
constantly by Mrs. Percy, his
brother. United Slates Senator Percy,
of Mississippi; Walker Percy, of Bir
mingham. and his brother-in-law and
sister. Mr. and Mrs. <'. J. McKinney,
of Knoxville, together with other rela
tives. He 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 slate-at-large. As there
ate said to be no Underwood men
among the alternates, the death of the
Memphian will complicate the vote of
the Alabaman of this state.

WAR IF T1 WINS,
SAYS mon
LOUISVILLE. KY., May 23.—1 n a
I stinging editorial in The Courier-Jour
' nal today Colonel Henry Watterson as-
■ sorts life tenure of office Is Colonel
' Roosevelt's alm 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
hate 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 Insurre'elo
’ appealing to all parties. Unless he
breaks down under the strain and Is
taken to a lunatic asvlum he will he a
' candidate for president.
“There can 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 the other,
drugging republicanism through an
ocean of tilth, 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
excitenu nt and the passion of the state
1 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 cesspool attests the cruel injury
anti wrong a maniac, armed to the
1 teeth, may accomplish, for Taft is not
• only president of the United States, but
he is a gentleman of upijight, self-re
specting elmraet’i. It is clear now that
be itad haw better remained in the
white house, leaving the frenzied par
anoiac the field to himself.
“At length this nation is a world

to mankind its own failure by the aban

Gallantry Is one of the things Mrs.
Dora A. Brown requires of a hus

choice, was woefully deficient in the
manly grace. Hence Brown finds him

vorce.
Mrs. Brown In asking superior court
for her freedom today asserted that
Brown stood by and watched another
woman throw rocks at her without ut
tering even as much as a remonstrance.
In fact, she said, site believed that
Broun enjoyed seeing her life placed
in danger.
Mrs. Brown further alleges that
Brown was a person of villainous hab
its. spending his money recklessly and
taking aboard large quantities of liq
uors continually. She asked the court
for the custody of her two children.

NO RADICAL FIGHT
ON ROMAN OR FEO
BRISTOL, TENN , May 23. No rad
ical campaign against the Catholic
creed will be attempted by tie South
ern Presbyterian church. This was de
termined today, when the Presbyterian
general assembly refused to adopt the
report of the majority of the committee
on Romanism, recommending a radical
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 he by tl.v
"dissemination of knowledge and tile
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
tite various executive committees and
members thereof, today precipitated
the debate by resigning.
Sinnott Case Up Again,
Following the disposal of the Sinnott
ease from Alabama yesterday. Dr. E.
M. Green, of Kentucky, today presented
a resolution intended to cover the point
involved in the Alabama ease, 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 ami minority reports were
made.
The majority report was to the effect
that no church court could recommend
political measures to, adoption b.v th'
legislature or attempt to control the
votes of citizens. Tile minofltj report
refened the Inquiry to previous judicial
deliverances of the assembly on the
subject and It was adopted.

WATSON DOCILE;
INOIIDWINSIGIIT
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
| pletelv to have failed
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,
land hasn't been hunting it. He never
i Ims been known to run from a row that
! seemed determined to come hfs way.
| and he has been known to go down
into ilie gate and meet trouble on the
threshold thereof. Rut invariably when
lie has fought or elected to fight, there
has been something real and substan
tial in sight to fight for and gbout.
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.
The Wilson and anti-Watson press of
the state, aided by a few politicians
who carry eternally a lusty Watson
grouch, have done their worst to make
"tile red-headed person" mad. but he
has disappointed them beautifully so
far at every turn of the cards.
| Anticipating their efforts to embar
| rass him In the household of bls
| friends, Mr. Watson did call a meeting
I of his friends in Atlanta for the night
| before the election, in order that he
land they might be prepared for any
steam-roller tactics that somebody
might try next day—which was natural
enough, as Mr. Watson does carry, un
doubtedly, many scars upon his body.
I not always gentle reminders of wounds
I inflicted upon him In tlie past by divers
and sundry "city politicians" here and
there.
Pro-Watson Meeting.
And the meeting will he held too. for
I Mr. Watson realizes I hat he must be
on his guard against Insidious attacks
from tlie outside far more alertly than
it will be necessary in the present crisis
to guard against foes from within.
As tHe interesting Watson situation
frames up to?lay, the only person who
possibly might head Mr. Watson off in
ills ambition to sit in the national con
| vention is Mr. Watson himself. If he
I should come to Atlanta, w ith a chip on
tils shoulder, spoiling for a fight and
| determined to have it, he w ill gel it
j The same thing may lie said of any del
egate to the state convention.
Hoyt Fight Must Come.
To bring the question of Mr Wat
son's election as a delegate at large
Into serious dispute before Hie conven
tion, one of two tilings must happen:
Either Mr. Watson must precipitate it
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. Watson's favor
From the standpoint of tilings as they
seem to adjust themselves today, tlo
forthcoming state Democratic conven
tion will be an enthusiastic affair but
largely devoid of Hie spectacular.
Watson is coming, and Watson Is go.

self shall veto both or either proposi
tion.
The Convention.
As staled in The Georgian several
days ago, the state convention will not
be held, as has been customary. In the
hail of the house of representatives.
It was realized a week or itiore ago
by those having the matter in charge
that a very large hall must be pro
cured, If the delegates were to lie ac- i
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 Gland opera house, and the
latter has been decided upon.
Tlie 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.

■IH TO GIVE
ND INSTRUCTION
Democratic State Convention in
Session at Norfolk to Send
Foot-Loose Delegation.
NDRFOLK. VA., May 23. —Organiza-
tion leaders smile at the claim maxle by
Wilson followers that tlie 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 he passed favoring the
candidacy of Wilson or any one else.
Tlie corn ention was called to order at
noon with Janies R. Caton in the chair
as temporary chairman.
A bitter speech made last night by
Harrv M. Smith,‘Jr., of Richmond,
famed as the Beattie lawyer, will prob
ably cost him his scat 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 tills honor will go to
some one else. Smith denounced the
party leaders and came out in favor of
fheir recall.
Senator Bankhead, of Alabama, Is on
the scene in the interest of Under
wood's candidacy for the presidency.
Considerable Clark sentiment prevail-.
The htiidcn of the talk of the Clark
and I mderwood rt-presi-nlai ives 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 lie tem
porary chairman tonight. On account -
of 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 parry to a refer
endum on the state-wide prohibition
question.
