DISSENSION HITS COLDNEL’SRANKS - ■ /( Roosevelt Committeemen Are; Accused of Failure to Sup port Contests. Continued From Page One. Izod the contests brought by the Roose. | \elt men as trivial” almost from the , first. In Only a few cases have the | colonel's forces voted to support the I arguments of his attorneys. although} the.v must have known before the? allowed the attorneys to appear what , the eases were. The Roosevelt < oin mitteemen knew also that the case as , presented frequently did not rcpiesitii the full merits of the contests, especial- • Iv befort a committee that has care- ; lessly shifted its rules three times, .ad mitting and ex< luding evidence almost at will. The contestants assert that knowing the merits of the case the commit icemen should have either w ith, drawn the trivial eases or gone down fighting Big Fireworks Near, Is Belief. The whole tiling has caused conster nation in the Roosevelt camp. The fact that the Roosevelt men voted rm the Indiana delegates-at-large cases to es. tabllsh a precedent which the other committeemen must follow when the Washington cases come up was no com fort. It was pointed out that the other committeemen have already reversed themselves frequently and they will probably do it again. It is this situation that has made it practically certain that Colonel Roost - velt will come to Chicago. In fact, he is expected tomorrow in time to di- j rent the fight that will he made in the .Michigan cases. Governor Herbert S. Hadley, of Mis souri, will also be added to the light ing force, and there Is a strong possi bility, according to Roosevelt leaders, 1 that "Boss Bill" Flynn may descend on 1 the national committee armed with a proxy and start something for the twenty anti-Flynn policemen to finish. 1 All in all. it looks today as though the 1 real fight bad just started, and that a very "large bunch of fireworks was about to be touched off. Dark horse talk was a trifle stronger today than it has been. Headquarters ’ of Senator Cummins were opened in J the Congress hotel, with Colonel E G. < Platt, of Chicago, in charge.

Rogers, WILSON CIRCULAR STIRS» MEN Though Charges Made Are Quickly Proved False, They Are Not Withdrawn. By ALFRED HENRY LEWIS. WASHINGTON, June 11. — The friends of Speaker Clark are becoming a bit impatient at the falsehoods w hich some of the Wilson promoters are now bringing to the aid of their candidate. Having failed to build Wilson up, they now seek to tear ('lark down. They are using every small and lying method at their command. One recent example was when Senator O’Gorman gave a dinner to Mayor Gaynor at the Willard. At that dinner Gaynor made a speech declaring the primary election law a failure. Clark, replying to Gay nor. defended the primary election law. The next morning a Wilson paper as cribed to Clark the words which Gay nor had uttered and the sentiments which Gay nor had expressed. Then there is that broad sheet of falsehood, the lying Woodrow Wilson circular, which for two months has been given nation-wide circulation. To day I asked Lase Pence, who knows more of Clark's canvass as well as of Clark's sentiments and record than most men what should be said in reply to the circular. Circular Sent Broadcast. “As to that circular sent broadcast through Massachusetts and Maryland,” said Mr. Pence, “the Clark campaign in Massachusetts was in the hands of Representative Curley, of Boston. At his request, the Clark national man agement sent several speakers into Massachusetts, and among others there at the close of the campaign were Representatives Graham, of Illinois; Ferris, of Oklahoma; Borland, of Mis souri, and myself. "We got some copies of the circular. As soon as we read them we knew that the statements therein contained were false. Everybody else must have known they were false, too, as the next day's primary vote for Clark and Wil son showed Clark beating him 3 to 1. No Speech on Immigration. “Referring to the falsehoods carried in the circular, the most important, perhaps, is the one which pretends to quote from a speech of Clark's, said by the Wilson circular to have been deliv ered by- Clark on the floor of the house when the immigration bill was up for discussion. As a matter of fact. Clark took no part whatever in the discus sion of the bill. Therb was no roll call upon the question. "So far as the Wilson circular is concerned, the authors falsely put the words ascribed to Clark into Clark's mouth. The whole thing was a flat fake and merely a Wilson propaganda effort to hurt Clark with a flat lie. "The charge made by the Wilson cir cular that at Trenton Clark declared that somebody ought to shoot Mark Hanna was a whole-cloth lie. It was as much manufactured by the Wilson ites as were the other falsehoods which have been noticed.” Arizona 10 to 1 For Clark PHOENIX. ARIZ., June 11.—Champ Clark carried Arizona by a score of more than 10 to 1, according to an offi cial canvass of votes cast in the re cent presidential primary. Returns for other candidates are classed as scatter ing. While Clark’s vote runs between 5.000 and 6,000, with one big county estimated, Wilson received 336 votes, Bryan 40, with Harmon a shade ahead of Bryan. Reece M. I.ong. a prominent attor ney, received a majority of 500 for Democratic national committeeman over Brady' O'Neil, of Phoenix. Democrats to Meet To Choose Chairman NEW YORK, June 11—Norman E. Mack, chairman of the Democratic na tional committee, has issued a call for a meeting in Baltimore on June 20 of tl'.e arrangements committee to select the temporary chairman of the con vention. The selection of the commit tee will be placed for ratification be fore the national committee June 24. Among the men whom the arrange ments committee will consider, he said, “are Senator O’Gorman, of New York; Senator Kern of Indiana, and Senator elect Ollie James, of Kentucky; Rep resentative William Sulzer, of New York, and Henry, of Texas, and James Hamilton Lewis, of Chicago. There doubtless will be others ACCUSING HEN FAILS TO HOLD NEGRO FOR BIG FIRE IN FORSYTH FORSYTH, GA., June 11. —Bernice Bell, the negro who was placed in the Monroe county jail at the time of the disastrous Are of May 25, charged with setting fire to the Forsyth Iwrtel. and who was accused by one of the jail yard hens, through the medium of an egg, was released by the committing court. Because of certain threats. Bell wag arrested on the night of the fire. Then came the egg laid by the jailyard hen, upon which was clearly decipher able the words, "Bernice Bell burned the hotel." But upon the trial the hen was not called, and the court did not think the evidence sufficient to hold the prisoner. NEW PROHIBITION FIGHT FORESEEN Politicians Believe “Wet” and “Dry” Question Will Be the Issue This Fall. There is a growing belief among shrewd political observers that a delib erate effort is under way in Georgia to make the prohibition question an issue in the forthcoming gubernatorial campaigns. • Unless some visible signs are at fault, Georgia may be facing another Brown - Russell - Brown governorship fight, with the election of a legislature an added complication of tremendous importance. Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb, has taken a stand in favor of a modification of the present state-wide prohibition law, to the extent, at least, of establishing, under a local option system, so-called "package houses" throughout the state. John M. Slaton has not announced his attitude with respect to the ques tion of prohibition, but as he heartily supported Joseph M. Brown in the last fight, it is assumed that his position will be practically the same as that oc cupied by the governor, in the event of the issue being made. Dr. L. G. Hardman, of Jackson, whose candidacy is practically assured, so friends close to him say, unquestion ably will stand for state-wide prohibi tion of an even more stringent variety than that the state now has. He was the author of the present state-wide prohibition law and one of Judge Cov ington’s and Seaboard Wright’s stout est supporters in putting the law through the legislature. Anti-Saloon League Active. In addition to the foregoing signifi cant facts, it is evident that the Geor gia Anti-Saloon league is interesting Itself deeply' in the forthcoming legisla tive contests throughout the state. Numerous candidates for the legisla ture from all sections, have been tell ing of late of various communications received from the Anti-Saloon league in Atlanta, inquiring, specifically and in detail, as to how' those candidates stand with respect to the present pro hibition law, and how* they would vote in the event it was sought to change it. either by amending it in such wise as to provide further prohibition legis lation, or by repealing it or weakening ft. Some prospective members of the next legislature have answered the league’s inquiries without hesitation, while others have hesitated to express themselves. It is a fact of some sig nificance that the candidates from Joe Hill Halls county—Bibb—are reported to have answered the league frankly, and to have placed it on notice that they favor the modification of the pres ent law. Does Present Law Satisfy? That there is a wide diversity of opinion among Georgians concerning the present prohibition law is unques tionably a fact. Many prohibitionists think it needs amending and strengthening in va rious directions before it will be an ef fective law' and guaranteed to get the desired results. There are others who believe it answers every reasonable purpose as it now stands, and that It should be left severely alone. There are still others who believe it should be modified to meet the demands of a sit uation that would be legally tolerable and at the same time satisfy approxi mately the whole of the people. So long as these conditions exist, politicians generally ? re at a loss to know exactly' where they stand, and leaders of the various lines of thought are by no means certain which lineup would prevail in a genuine showdown at the ballot box. Politicians Guessing. That there is much hesitancy on all sides again to precipitate the prohibi tion question upon Georgia is true. Legislatly e candidates generally would much preses to sidestep it and let ft severely alone. Even the guber natorial candidates believe it would bring on a red-hot and bitter fight, from which they naturally shrink. On the other hand, there appears tc be strenuous ones determined that tho prohibition question shall be fought 'to a finish in this state once more—-fight - ers and partisans who profess to feel tiiat the last time this question was submitted to the people, it was sub mitted so indirectly and so inconclu sively’ that no verdict actually was rendered, and that nothing short of an other contest will show which way the wind really is blowing in Georgia It is a circumstance of considerable importance that the very first oil! the legislature will be called upon to take up after it is called to order this summer is the famous Tippins bill—a bill which provides for the strengthen ing of the prohibition law by closing all near-beer saloons in Georgia REAL BUILDING BOOM UNDER WAY AT FORSYTH FORSYTH, GA., June 11.—A build ing boom is under way in Forsyth.
