WATSON ELECTED, BUT WHIPPED
The Atlanta Georgian FINAL *
VOL. X. NO. 259.
WATSON IS
ELECTED
- WITHHIS
FOES
Bound and Gagged He Is Sent
to Baltimore a Pros
trate Victor.
TRIES IN VAIN TO HAVE
ENEMIES VOTED DOWN
Felder White With Anger. But
Friends Restrain Him—Con
fusion and Disorder Rule.
Bound and gapged tinder the
unit rule, and neatly tucked into
bed between his two bitterest po
litical foes in Georgia, with his lat
est immediate enemy gibbering at
him over the footboard. Thomas E.
Watson lies this afternoon a pros
trate victor in his fight for a dele
place to the national Dem
ocratic convention in Baltimore.
Alons with William G. Brant
-1 ley, Charles K. Pendleton and
Thomas B. Felder. Watson was
permitted to go to Baltimore, forc
ed to be good, whether he chooses
or no.
As on» of a framed-up slate elected
by acclamation in the convention,
amid scenes of confusion and disorder
, this afternoon. Watson, over his vehe
ment protest, was named one of the
‘Rig Eight."
Upon every question, he will be
obliged, under the unit rule, to vote as
a majority of the delegation directs
him to.
His victory, such of it as there is,
is all in the form —there is nothing in
the substance.
How The Showdown
Came in Convention.
Under a resolution adopted in the
convention early in its procedings, the
election of delegates at large came up
after the district delegates had been
named.
Here and there in the hall, delegates
arose, as if by preconcerted program,
and proceeded to make the nomina
tions.
First came the nomination of Thomas
E. Watson, then came Thomas B. Fel
der, and there followed, in rapid suc
cession, the names of H. H. Dean.
Charles R. Pendleton, William G.
Brantley, Randolph Anderson. G. R
Hutchens and Crawford Wheatley.
No sooner was the last man nomi
nated than a delegate jumped to his
feet and moved that the nominations
close.
IH*—-e-J'4tson arose and undertook to pro
test.
The crowd bellowed, howled, hissed
■rnd snorted. Watson implored the con
vention to be in order. Chairman
Hutchens beat all the paint off his lit
tle table and begged that Watson be
given a chance to say.what he wanted
, \ to say.
Watson Begs Not
To Be Humiliated
Finally Watson got a little opening
and said:
"I* want to be frank with this con
vention. I want to go to Baltimore so
I can represent the state properly.
Why not let these nominees be passed
upon separately? Why make Watson's
friends votd for Watson's enemies—
Watson's bitterest personal and politi
cal enemies in Georgia—in order to
vote for Watson?
"I beg the con’ ention not to humii
-1 iate me and my friends here by forcing
1 my friends, in order to vote for me, to
I make them vote also for a man who
has been abusing me privately and In
’ * the newspapers., and who has threat
’s ened to 'skin me like an eel?'
, "Why debase me by forcing my
\ friends to vote for Felder Let Fei
-1 der's friends vote for Felder and Wat
\ son'- for Watson. Do not elect a
’ 1 cdgation that can not and will not pull
'. , t igetl'.e’’ "

I Will Not Raise
Row, Says Watson;
Felder Dissatisfied
journinent of the convention
Sir. Watson said:
‘‘lf the boys are satisfied. I
will not raise a row. I entered
my protest; a great mistake
has been made. I hardlj’ know
what to say right now—it all
looks so foolish artd so devoid
of common sense.'
Mr. Felder said :
“I will go to Baltimore de
termined to do nothing but
work for Underwood. T am
not, satisfied with what the
convention did. It should not
have named a delegation so
hopelessly apart in its member
ship. It is humiliating in some
of its features."
Pendleton, Who Said
He Wouldn't Serve
With Watson, Silent
"I have not heard the details of what
the convention has done. I can not
make a statement at this time."
This was the reply of Colonel Charles
R. Pendleton, editor of The Macon Tel
egraph, this afternoon when The Geor
gian asked him if he would serve as
one of the eight delegates-at- large to
the Baltimore convention with Thornis
E. Watson. As soon as he was asked
the question and had given his brief
answer, he hung, up the receiver and
efforts to reach him for further dis
cussion of today i convention proceed
ings were unavailin o ’.
Colonel Pendleton previous to today
declared privately more than once that
he would not serve with Watson.
EDITORBOKFIRES
GIRLS WHO DANCED
THE “TURKEY TROT”
PHILADELPHIA, May 29—The Cur
tis Publishing Company is without the
services of sixteen young woman who
so far forgot the proprieties and rules
of that corporation as to indulge in
the "turkey trot” on the third floor of
the Ladies' Home Journal building.
The sixteen were discovered at the
noon hour engaged in this terpsicho
rean specialty, much to the disgust of
Edward Bok. the editor, who ordered
them "fired.”
The young wdmen regarded Mr. Bok’s
action as not only an intrusion, since
they were enjoying their noon lunch
eon at the time, but as an attack on
their personal privileges, and some of
then) say they intend to ask Mr. Curtis
to reinstate tnem.
In the meantime there will be no more
"turkey trots," "bunny hugs" or ’griz
zly bears." at least while Mr. Bok is in
the building. »

B MICE
TO EVADE BIGfiMY
Goes to Same Minister With
Young Woman He Married
Before Divorced.
Clarence Pinion, the young carpenter
who eloped with Lulu Belle Lowry, of
283 Humphrey Street, Monday night and
Is charged with bigamy by the girl’s
brother because the wedding occurred
twelve hours before Pinion's divorce
from his first wife was granted, gave
himself up to Justice of the Peace Gi
rardieu this morning.
Pinion told the jurist that when the
bailiff was searching for him last night
he was at the home of Rev. Mr. Vaughn
on Larkin street getting married a sec
ond time to Lulu Belle. He said that
the minister had told him that the first
marriage wasn’t legal because his di
vorce hadn’t been granted then.
"So I went back and had him do it
over,” said Pinion. "And if your honor
wants me'to marry her again I’ll start
right o-t again, for I like to marry her
better than any girl I ever knew."
The judge told Pinion that he would
let him go free on his own recognizance
until Friday afternoon, when the charge
of bigamy against him will be brought
to trial,
Lulu Belle's brother, T. T. Lowry,
came to court with an attorney and op
posed Pinion's attempt to get free with
out bail. He said he would prosecute
the bigamy charge to the last ditch.
Lula Belle Lowry had been loving
Pinion for a long time. She had even
known him before her mother died in
Edge wood, two years ago, and the
mother died knowing that the girl
cared very much for a man who was
already married.
The mother was gone and the broth
ers and sisters of Lula Relle took it
upon themselves to see that the girl
was protected from her infatuation.
Three weeks ago the girl went to live
with her bi other. T. T. Lowry, at 25
Humphrey street. She told Lowry and
his wife that she was cured of her love
for Pinion and would never see him any
more. Lowry gave her the big fron;
room of their little home to live in, and
told her she could stav with them as
long as the family lived.
But they found out a few days after
that Lula Belle wasn't playing fail
with them about Pinion They found
out that Pinion had made friends with
Lula Belle's sister. Mrs. Atkinson, who
lives two blocks away over the clay
banks at 159 Middle street.
He would come to the Atkinson house
and hide in the back room, and Lula
Belle would steal away from the Lowry
home and meet him there.
.Monday night Pinion came again to
the Atkinson house. He had told Mrs.
Atkinson that his divorce had been
granted by Judge Pendleton; that he
was free to marpj’. and one of the chil
dren was persuaded to slin over to the
Lowry house and tell that to Lula Belle
while he would wait out of sight in a
rear room
But Lula Belle knew that the Lowrys
would be suspicious, and would not let
her go to meet the man. So she sent
the child back to Pinion with a message
to wait for her until after dark, and
she had Mrs Atkinson send her little
daughter down to her at the Lowry
house again with a message asking
Lula Belle to bring some pictures up
to show her.
The ruse lulled Mrs. Lowry, but Low.
