Woodrow Wilson and Bryan Virtually Eliminated From' the Race for Democratic Candidacy CHAMP CLARK ONLY ONE WHO CAN WIN NOMINATION, SAYS GRAVES All Factions Concede Speaker Can Be Re lied Upbn to Beat Roosevelt and Taft. • Missourian’s Attitude Wins Friends for Him. By JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES. BALTIMORE, June 27. —Every ses sion of the Democratic national < n vention makes more definite and clear . the certain nomination of Champ Clark ; for president of the United States. Mr. Bryan has been effectively elimi. nated as a possibility. If Mr. Bryan could be beaten in a progressive con vention by 69 votes for the office of temporary chairman. It is not likely that .Mr. Bryan would receive enough votes as' a candidate for president be fore that body to give him a majority, much less the two-thirds which he would require. The ballot Tuesday also practically eliminated Governor Wilson as a strong possibility in this convention. The Wilson vote was joined solidly to the Bryan vote, and the Wilson and the Bryan vote combined was short 69 bal lots even of a majority of the conven tion. Those who know politics declare this is convincing proof that Governor Wilson, with Bryan's support, could not receive a majority of the convention’s vote, and, therefore, certainly not a two-thirds majority. On the other hand, there were num bers of Mr. Clark’s supporters who sup ported Mr. Bryan for temporary chair man because of their personal regard for the man and because of the tradi tions of his past leadership and his wide acquaintance in the party. Clark Only One Who Can Win. It is now evident to all factions that | Champ Clark is the only man who can command in the last moment the vote of two-thirds of the national Democrat ic convention. • It also is evident to the thinking men of all factions that Champ Clark is now the only man who can be safely relied upon to poll enough votes to beat 1 he- i odore Roosevelt and President Taft. It is really astonishing how great ar effect the wise, prudent and conserva tive attitude which Champ Clark hu taken in this preliminary mang'c the convention lias had upon the s-c rious-minded men of the Denwr'i: party and of the country. It has stamped him above all :u as a man of discretion, a man of excel lent temper, of sound judgment and a man who can be trusted to do the wise and proper thing in emergencies forth' party and the country. Upon the great vote of the uninstructed delegates in this convention this discretion and self control has had an especial effect., Since it has been done, the action of the convention now impresses all par ties as the qpe wise thing that ought to have been done. It has held together the Democratic party; it has made easy for the two-fifths conservative vote of the Democratic party-to come in with good grace and support the party at the polls, and it is universally remarked that it was Champ Clark’s judgment and discretion which has held the Dem ocratic delegates together in this con vention. just as he has held the minor ity which ho so ably Ted in congress and the majority over which he has for the past year. Clark Now Great Favorite. The betting in Baltimore now ranges from 2 to 1 to 4 to 1 on Champ Clark. As to Mr. Bryan and his action In the convention Tuesday, nothing disagree able need be said. It is better to con cede that Mr. Bryan was honest, but mistaken; it is the mature judgment of long-time political observers of the Nebraskan's career that Mr. Bryan has been more or less spoiled with the suc cessive expressions of confidence which his party has placed in him, and that he has come to take himself altogether too seriously as the indispensable coun sellor if not the dictator of Democratic < ounsels. He has become in recent years something’ of a “school master’’ in the majesterial authority which he feels and which he has attempted to exercise. Conceding that Mr. BrytA’s convictions havfe been behind his posi tion on public questions, it is neither' unkind nor unfair to say fiat the De mocracy owed to itself the duty of vin dicating its own right to independent action and of informing Mr. Bryan that it had other faithful adherents and other faithful leaders. It is absolutely certain that the. thrill ing eloquence which swept the Chicago convention into a storm, and which has f thrice made him the nominee of his party for the highest office in the land, has lost much of the fervor and thrill of the power and force which made him irresistible in past days.

THURSDAY. JUNE 27, 191?. i Atlanta Maids and Matrons Are Complimented on Way They Handle Motor Cars. "If I had to ride a hundred miles an hour in an automobile I’d feel safer if a woman were doing the driving." That statement about expresses W. J. Stoddard's belief that women make the best amateur chauffeurs in the world. Ms-. Stoddard, who admits that he’s an automobile "bug" of the most acute sort, declared that in all his experience he had never seen such competent, careful, speedy drivers' of autos as are a half dozen of the young women who spin daily up and down Peachtree street. , There’s Miss Myrtle Hancock, of Ju niper street, for Instance, who makes about as pretty picture as anyone could want to see as she sweeps up the avenue in her runabout at a dash that is always pressing the speed limit. Miss Harriet Calhoun, Miss Mary Helen Moody, Mrs Phinizy Calhoun. Mrs. S. ('. Dobbs, Mrs. Marshall McKenzie, Miss Helen Dargan and Mrs. W. J. Stod dard are numb'‘red among the other 1 Atlanta women whom Mr. Stoddard de clares an better at the tiller of a ear than most men. More Careful by Intuition. “Here’s the point." said Mr. Stoddard. "A woman’s sight is quicker than a man’s. TheyUl see danger ahead soon er. They’ll run more carefully by in tuition where danger is and that samp intuition makes up the time for them on the good stretches of the road. Mrs. Stoddard, for instance, will take me through Atlanta in our machine in less time than I van make the same trip myself, ami she won’t hit half as many rough spots. "Then a woman knows more of the psychology of automobiling than most chauffeurs'l have met. We’ll say your I machine is making time on a city street and that when you’re ten yards or so from a corner a man Steps off the curb into your path. If-a woman happens to be driving that ear her first quick look at the face of that pedestrian will tell her intaliibly whether he’s the sort of man that’s go ing to keep on across the road or whether he’ll step back and give her the right of way. Many accidents I have known of have happened because the chauffeur didn’t guage rightly what the pedestrian was going to do, but I never knew a woman- driver to hit a man like that. "And anybody who says that women can’t learn automobile mechanism like a man doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Mrs. Stoddard understands our machine far better than 1 could learn ft in a hundred years. It makes you feel mighty silly, of course, when you're out driving witli a woman who has to start your machine .for you when you get into trouble and are tinkering around helplessly yourself. .

PARIS. June 27. —The Paris season is over. The weather is hot. The leaves of the trees on the boulevards have lost their green freshness. The theaters are playing things that are not meant for Parisians, The fash ionable-world is leaving by train or motor every day, going to their cha teaus in the country or to the favorite seaside resorts. The’boulevards are no longer Paris ian, but cosmopolitan. The gay etty is opening its doors to the annual inva sion of foreigners who come here everj summer to see Paris and who go back thinking they have seen it. though th< city’ they have seen is no more Paris than Coney Island is New York city. Spring Is Real Paris Season. The'-metropolis of France by no means despises the annual invading army. It welcomes them with open arms, tries to anticipate their every wish and gives them Just what they want. It is» wicked and Immoral to those w'ho come to see wickedness and immorality: its treasuries of art and beauty are open to those who come to study and enjoy, and its shops display all the things of refinement and luxury for which they are famous, but the spirit of Paris has gone and does not return until the crowd of visitors have left. A glimpse of the real Paris, ’these people never see —do not even see on the national holiday, on July 14, though there was dancing in every public square, military reviews and horse races at Long Champs. He who wants to see the real Paris must come here in the ea: ly spring and spring has left Paris long ago DR.

FAMOUS ffliN PLUNGER DEAD Lady Sykes, Gambler, War Nurse, Editress and Author ess. Had Exciting Career. ■LONDON, June 27.—Lady SJykes, a woman who had a remarkable and va ried career and whose unconvention ality of ’conduct was often not far re moved from eccentricity, is dead at Hull. She n as the wife of Sir Tatton Sykes, the famous liorse breeder, of Sledmere. Yorks, and the mother of Mr. Mark Sykes, the brilliant young Unionist member for Central Hv.tl. !?he was re lated by birth and marriage to many distinguished families. A passion for adventure and for va riety led her in later life to fill many unusual roles. Her outspokenness was a by-word, and few womenicould speak their minds rrjore forcibly when aroused. Became a War Nuria. So it was that the woman who had been a wealthy society hostess. _en- . tertairing royalty, suddenly became a nurse in South Africa, and authoress, the editor of two weekly papers in succession, a noted gambler and auc tion bridge player, -and the defendant in many actions—one an unsubstan tiated charge of forgery. ' As a seventeen-year-old girl she married Sir Tatton Sykes? then 30 years her senior, who had met her in the hunting field. Her reputation as a horsewoman was then second to none in a hard-riding country. I In the early nineties the name of ( Lady Sykes was associated with a rae- I i-ng and gambling set, tile members of | which were noted for their high play, iln December, 1896. Sir Tatton J advertised in the newspapers that he would no longer be responsible for any debts his wife might contract. In 1899 Sir Tatton arranged for a deed of separation, under which Lady Sykes was allowed $25,000 a year, aa income which she utilized in many ad ventures in the last thirteen years. Criticised Many Persons. At the outbreak of the Boer war Lady Sykes, in a nurse’s Uniform, went to South Africa for two months and worked in the kitchen of a hospital near Colenso. On her return she wrote “Sidelights on the -War,” in which she criticised the medical arrangements. She wrote many caustic comments on people and things in ther two weeklies, The Review of the Week and Sunrise. In the editorial offices of’ the latter, in Henrietta street, Covent . Garden, which were furnished like a . boudoir, she received duchesses, out-of-work market porters looking for charity, jockeys and bookmakers and jtnany other odd charades. AUGUSTANS SWIPED ROADS CONVENTION, CLAIMS MACON MAN MACON, GA., June 27.—Secretary E. H. Hyman of the Macon Chamber of Commerce declares that Augusta bodily stole the 1913 convention of the Georgia Goods Roads association at the meet ing in Athens yesterday. He says that when invitations for the next conven tion were asked and he arose to present Macon’s name ap Augusta delegate, who is a dealer in road-making mate rial, boldly Usurped the chairman's place, took charge of the meeting, de manded that Augusta be chosen, put the motion himself and declared it car ried. Macon went to the convention determined to win, and failure to get the 1913 meeting was a disappointment. CIVIL SERVICE PROPOSED FOR MACOhF_S_EMPLOYEES MACON, GA.. June 27.—1 t is proba ble that Macon’s police and fire depart ments, which have long figured in local politics as an asset for the administra tion in all elections, will soon be put on the civil service system. The 1911 leg islature authorized the city council to do this, and Alderman McKenna is leading a movement to have the meth od adopted, with much chance of suc cess. The change is eagerly desired by the policemen and firemen, who are tired of the biennial anxiety over the prospect of losing their jobs. BROWN TO SPEAK AT MARIETTA BARBECUE MARIETTA, GA., June 27.

Bui what interested the delegates most is the conversation of harmony. Each delegate feels that his*candidate is sure to win on the fourth or fifth ballot with the aid of the delegates won from other candidates, and, therefore, each delegate is doing all he can to be nice to every other delegate. After the acrimonious irenes in Chi ’ eago, it’s a joy to see so many Al phonses and Gastons. Perhaps the sur roundings have something to do with it, for all the Baltimoreans display typical Southern courtesy. Tile facilities of the city are entirely inadequate to handle the crowd that has gathered. The discomfort of the perspiring throng makes this politeness all the more conapicuous. It's in the Very Air. A Clark delegate comes face to face with a Wilson delegate in the jam in one of the hotel “Excuse me for pushing you, but I can’t help it!” says one. “Don’t mention it, old man; I was Just about to apologize myself. Your man Clark is all right, all right!’’ This is the Wilson man speaking. Rut the ('lark man slaps him on the shoulder rind says: "They tell me Wilson is a fine man.” And then an Underwood man tells one of them: "Excuse me, sub; but you' shoe laces are deranged.” No one. you see, is taking any chances of possibly incurring the resentment of any one. else. The elevator service of the Hotel Emerson,"for instance, is en tirely inadequate to handle the crowds coming from and going to the various headquarters. As soon as an elevator opens its door at least (fifteen men are jammed into it by the crowd pressing behind. When the boy starts it. the elevator usually sinks to the basement instead of going up. "Too many in the car," says the boy. "Two or three gentlemen will have tc step out.” That 1s about the best time to see men with ’ Clark badges and Wilson badges and Harmon badges and Tinder wood badges and Gaynor badges good naturedly fighting to outdo one another in politeness. , Each vociferously in sists upon getting out and walking up fifteen flights to let the other gentle men ride. I don’t know how long it will last, but. it’s beautiful to behold while it lasts. Harmeny With a Big H. This morning a man with an Under wood badge got into the Ulark head quarters by mistake. “Can any one tell me where the Un derwood are?" he asked. One of the Clark delegates rushed at him. “Come along with me, old man.” he cried. ‘TH show you where they arc.' There is a poem beginning, "Har mony! Oh, heavenly harmony!” That's all I remember of it. but the scenes in Baltimore would have given the author a lot of ideas. As New York is one of the big doubt ful factors in the problem, the New York delegates get -a wee bit more of this outpouring of politeness than any of the others. The Clark, Wilson, Un derwood and Harmon people are fairly breaking their necks to make the New York delegates happy. They won’t even let a man with a New York badge carry his own satchel. I've been trying to get a New York delegate's badge. • And If any delegate doesn't happen to know where you’re from, he takes n’o chances. When Joy Aids the Gloom. Tom Powers, The Georgian’s car toqnist, complained of the difficulty of getting accurate sketches of celebrities. They never stood still long enough to* give his pern 11 a chance. "Theta’s Senator Stone over there,” he said. ’lf he’d only keep still a mo ment. I’d like to sketch him.” I asked Powers to point out the senator. "How’s Senator Stone?” 1 asked. The senator looked at me, clapped me on the shoulder and exclaimed: "Well! Well! When did you get here? How are all the folks?” I assured him that the folk? were all well. “I’m surely glad to see you again,” he went on. "It’s a long time since I saw you. You’re looking well! Are they treating you ali right?” I told him they were and asked how the situation looked to hint. He put his arm around my neck and whispered I in my ear: “It's all right! TWlngs are moving slowly but steadily. You’ll be pleased with the outcome., all right. Every thing will be harmonious.” I moved around slowly and brought the senator’s face directly In front of Powers. I kept him there long enough to give Powers a good chance. Learning the Finer Points. Powers then wanted to sketch Gov ernor Vardaman, but wasn't sure that he knew lijm by sight. 1 gave a bell - | boy a dime to point out this dlstin- guished Southerner to us. By this time I had learned the knack of the game. “Well! Well!” I cried. “If it isn’t Governor Vardaman": ~ He looked at me from under his bushy eyebrow’s and with a delightful smile stretched out both arms! "My boy,” he said. "It’s a real pleas ure to see you! When did you get here? And how are all the folks?” I had never seen Governor Vardaman before in my life. I said cordially: "I arrived Sunday and the folks are all well. How are all your friends?” "Everybody is well and all is har mony,” he said. “Harmony! That's the spirit of the day. There may be a lit tle ruction, but Everything will be smoothed out. You’re looking fine! Taking good care of yourself, I’ll bet! Are they treating you all right? Let me know if I can do anything for you?” w Can you beat that for politeness? I kept Vardaman in conversation until Tom Powers called out: "Come on! I’ve got him! Here comes Daniels.” I said goodby to Vardaman and turn ed around to greet another man. I was gaining confidence in myself. Now a North Carolinian. “Well! Well! My old friend Daniels!" I cried. But the man smiled amiably and shook his head, and Powers kicked the calf of the leg. “Not that man!” he whispered. "The smooth-shaven chap over there.” So I approached Josephus Daniels. "Hello, old man, how are you?" I in quired. Mr. Daniels took my hand in both of nis. “How are you, my boy?” he asked. "How are ail the folks? When did you get here?” “What's the news?” I asked him. "And how are all the boys?” "Everything is going fine!” he said. "There won't be any clash. I'm sure you'll he satisfied. You ought to find all the boys around the hotel here. Some one was asking for you, but I can’t remember who it was. Are they treating you all light?" By this time even Powers was con fident. "Turn him around more,” he wig wagged. 1 turned Mr. Daniels around and asked him about how politics stood at home. Xyhfen Powers was finished w»e looked up half a dozen others. They all were glad to see me; they all inquired after the folks, and they all were anxious to know If I was being treated all right. If the fact that not one of them had ever laid eyes upon me before troubled their consciences in the slightest de gree their countenances did not betray f it. Taken all in ail, they were the nic est, politest and most genial crowd I had ever seen. Even Tom Taggart “Fell." Tom Taggart added a touch of orig inality that was delightful. "Wait just one second.” he said. Holding rhy hand tightly after I had greeted him. “I know your face, but can't just get the name. Don't tell me; it'll come in a minute. Oh! now I re member. Weil, well, old man. I’m glad to see you. How are you? How are all the folks?” The New York delegates whom I had never seen before succumbed as readily as any others. McCabe, of Albany, greeted me like a long logt brother. Borough President Connolly was abso lutely delighted when I told him the folks were well and that I was being treated right. I never saw so much harmony and good fellowship before. Tom Powers says he is going to ask Norman Mack to change roohis with him and I would not be surprised if Mack did it. In the whole day’s experience there came only one disappointment. I pulled my hat down low over iny eyes and approached John McCqoey, the deputy boss in Brooklyn. "Well! well!" I cried jovially, "if it isn’t Brother McCooey. How are you, old man ?” He grasped my hand cordially and smiled the smile of happiness that comes to a man’s face when he meets a brother whom he hasn’t seen for 30 years. "Gosh, but I’m glad to see you!" he exclaimed; “when did you get here? How are all the—" He paused abrupt ly and .peered under my hat. Then a curious look came into his face. ’ - "Oh! It's Bruno Lessing,” he said. And he nodded pleasantly and turned away. You see, I’m not a delegate.
