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..

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.

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."

It is a lengthy attack on Catholicism, pre pared by Thomas C. Johnson, of Rich mond, and others. Shorn Committee Resigns.

IN SOUTH As a result of the announcement made by Edward H. Walker, well known Atlanta real estate man, of his intention to organize a campaign club in the interest of Colonel Roosevelt, many business tnen have pledged their hearty co-opera l ion. The first step taken after tite an nouncement was to perfect an organ ization for the Southern Roosevelt Campaign club, with the following of ficers: Edward H. Walker, president; Dr. Horace Grant, treasurer: H. K. Drake, secretary, and A G. Moser, as sistant treasurer. The object of the club is to get lo- Roosevelt, no matter what may be th»'ir political affiliation, so that Georgia and the South may poll a good vote for him should he get the Republican nomina*- lion.

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. ing to Baltimore, unless Watson him 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. TROUBLE BEGAN BT SCRATCHING PM Caused Great Disfigurement.

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.
