Should Clark Again Pass Ma
jority. This State Might Go
to Him-Wilson, Never.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
BALTIMORE, July I.—A change in
the weather Sunday brought refresh
ing rest and some source of sorrow to
many delegates In Baltimore town, but
the morn of Monday broke finding little
change in the real situation with re
spect to the Democratic nomination for
the presidency. This morning it looks
tike Clark or chaos. Beginning imme
diately upon adjournment Saturday
near midnight, the mixers and the fix
ers have been at work, some of them as
they never worked before. What their
efforts have brought forth will be evi
denced in the balloting today. The
general Impression is that they have
accomplished little, if anything, in the
way of a settlement
The Georgia delegation, after much
discussion within itself, has decided to
stand -pat and continue voting for Un
derwood. There is some sharp division
inside the delegation with respect to
the advisability of doing that. Cer
tainly there is a vehement protest
against continuing the support of a
lost hope after it becomes as apparent
as the noon day sun that it has become
a lost hope.
One Underwood delegate yesterdav
said lie felt like staying here until
Christmas rather than change to an
other candidate. A colleague reminded
him. more or less sharply, that long
before Christmas a president of the
United States will have been elected
and that some people might be so fool
ish as to be willing to stay here until
Christmas wrangling over an impossi
ble thing, but that he positively and
certainly was not.
Clark Tightens Lines.
' nquestionably Clark seems to have
tightened up his lines splendidly since
Saturday night’s adjournment. Some
where in the voting today, if not in the
earlier ballots, Clark will once more
cross the majority and go well along
toward two-thirds.
If Clark does cross the majority line
again, and it be then apparent that.
Underwood is not gaining and has not
gained. Georgia may break to the
speaker. It will not do so so long as
Mr. Underwood's leaders insist that the
Alabama man has a chance to be nomi
nated. and some of these leaders now
insist that Underwood’s opportunity
has come to him and that he must win
by reason of the deadlock, or not at
all.
Outside of the Underwood leaders,
however, there are few—precious few—
pathetically enough, yho will say they
nelleve Underwood has a ghost of show.
•So far he has not received one vote
west of the Mississippi. Nobody, save
his most earnest partisans, says he ever
? it may be that the Underwood
leaders are right and the other leaders

Mrs. John M. Slaton.
Mrs. John M, Slaton Has Per
sonal Charge of Beautifully
Appointed Residence.
i
"When all girls are trained again as
they used to be in all the arts that
go tn make a home, from the cook
stove to the piano, there will be more
happy marriages in America and a
more progressive country."
Mrs. John M. Slaton, wife of the man
who is the leading candidate for the
governorship of Georgia, who is her
self proud to be known as one of the
most accofnplished housekeepers in
Georgia, laid down this formula very
seriously.
"I should think it would be every
Southern girl's ambition to be able to
conduct a household personally, to su
perintend its every department from
the arrangement and the preparation of
the breakfast dishes to the drapery of
the walls. She should check over ev
ery expenditure and she should know
what things in a household cost. Os
course the women of America are not
responsible for the high cost of liv
ing, but I am afraid that some of them
are responsible in great part for the
height of the cost.”
Home Beautifully Appointed.
Mrs. Slaton stood in the receiving
room of the Slaton country home on
Peachtree road, a home that is ad
mittedly one of the most beautifully
appointed, not only In the South hut
In the country, and she admitted smil
ingly that the appointments of that
home were of her own design from cel
lar to garret and even out through he
great lawns and groves and gardens
that stretch In flowered acre- mi every
sldr
"Let's glurt at the pantry,' said Mrs
inn AJ luaM’A GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY. JULY 1. 1912.
Slaton, and after she had shown a row
of little compartments fashioned to
hold In perfect order every corn elvable
dish and plate, pot and pan tlfattever
went to make a feast, she pointed to
“the closet." where a hundred differ
ent Jams, jellies and other fruit con
t sections had been made with her own
t hands because, she said naively, her
; husband especially like those kinds.
■ “I'm a great believer in the outdoor
i living.” said Mrs. Slaton. "That's why
we’ve made this little breakfast porch
i with nothing between it and the lawm
> but Its floor and its roof and the
. screens.”
, It was a very pretty breakfast porch
with a broad swing hanging invitingly
1 just back of the flower-crowned ta
' ble.
"When we have no guests we use
■ this breakfast porch at every meal In'
, the warm months, " explained Mrs. Sla
ton* "Save for Mr. Slaton’s study and
my r boudoir it Is relly our favorite
1 room in the whole house."
Mis. Slaton seemed really much fond
’ er of the open breakfast porch than
the splendidly appointed banquet hall
just beyond, though the banquet room
• Is large enough to seat a hundred at
Its tables and its silver plate and china
represent treasured gifts of legislative
bodies to Governor Slaton as well as
, the splendid selections of Mrs. Slaton's
mother and herself.
"Mother Taught Me."
; "All I know about housework,” con
i tlnued Mrs. Slaton, "mv mother taughi
me.” Mrs. W. B. Grant, the mother,
aided that her daughter had really
been a satisfactory pupil.
Then she confessed she prepares het
husband's breakfasts In her kitchen
with her own hands In spite of a ret
Inue of cooks and her Japanese butler
! Sato. "Sato's going to l>< a great states
man In Japan,” she said, "ami be Is
Just as good a chef while he Is pre
pat Ing here sot his calling."
TIPPINS BILL IIP
ONNEXTMOM
«
Prolonged Convention at Balti
more Prevents Legislature
Tackling Beer Measure.,
The Tippin- anti-near beet bill, set
as a special order of business in the
house of representatives today, was
passed over and set foi next Monday,
upon the motion of Hooper Alexander,
leading advocate of the bill. Mr. Alex
ander showed that Randolph Anderson,
the leading opponent, was still in the
Baltimore convention, and declared that
iie would not take an advantage of his
opponent's absence.
The house and senate concurred in a
resolution to adjourn from Wednesday
afternoon to Monday morning, taking
three days off to celebrate the Fourth
of July.
The house received a bill increasing
the license tax on cigarettes and ciga
rette papers to S2OO per year for each
stand in the state. The present license
tax is $25 a year ai.fl the bill would
practically prohibit the sale of Ciga
rettes in Georgia.
The senate received a resolution in
troduced by Senator Emmett Shaw to
investigate the re-ieas>ing of the West
ern and Atlantic railroad, more espe
cially pertaining to the Chattanooga
terminals. The committee is to be
composed of two from the senate and
three from the house, and is to hold
over until the next session to report.
This means that unless the commit
tee takes the form of a permanent
commission provided for by special act
that the report will be made to the
governor. Per diem not to exceed SSOO
and stenographer expenses not to ex
ceed $250 is provided by Senator Shaw s
resolution.
The Chattanooga authorities are v?ry
anxious for the state to dispose of the
present terminals in the business dis
trict of Chattanooga by long-time lease
so that streets may be cut through the
property. The mayor and city com
mission of the Tennessee city have
urged the state to act at once.
A bill to appropriate SSOO to purchase
.i portrait of John Mclntosh Kell, cap
tain of the Alabama In the Civil war,
was taken up for passage. Dr. George
Brown, of Eulton, moved to make the
sum S2OO, the same amount appropri
ated for a portrait of General Clement
A. Evans. It was passed as amended.
Mr. Thompson, of Madison, offered a
bill to pay all county treasurers SIOO
per year. Treasurers now receive fees
running from $1,500 to $5,000 a year.
Ga. Senate Tables
Move for Wilson
National politics held lhe boards in
both houses of the Georgia legisltaure
today when the senate tabled a resolu
tion calling for Georgia's support for
Woodrow Wilson in the national conven
tion, and the house spent more than an
hour in hotly debating the Alexander
resolution indorsing the action of the
Baltimore Democrats in the resolution
against the influence of Wall Street.
The Alexander resolution was adopted
by R 2 to 87, hut only after it had been
characterized as a slap in the face of the
Georgia delegation, which had voted
against it. In voting, more than a score
of members arose to explain their posi
tion. and there were addresses lauding
Bryan and abusing him, praising and eon
detuning Underwood and Woodrow Wil
son, commending the delegation repre
senting Georgia and censuring it.
'l he matter was introduced in the house
by the receipt of a telegram from Rep
resentative Roddenbery, calling upon the
assembly to rush to Baltimore a memorial
urging that the party platform include
planks against the white slave traffic and
alien immigration. A committee was ap
pointed. which drafted resolutions urging
these planks, lint Mr. Alexander, a mem
ber of the committee, quietly added an
amendment, the same as that introduced
by him last week which was killed by
the objection of Mr. Garlington
Provokes Storm of Debate,
Wilson boosters in the senate cotild
marshal but seventeen votes today when
the. Adams resolution calling Georgia's
support for the New Jersey governor
came up. The resolution, which had been
signed by sixteen senators, was talHotf
Indefinitely by a vote of 23 to 17.
Senator Graham sprang the only sen
sation when he amended the resolution

The motion to table came from Senator

NELLIE BLY PICTURES
BIGCONVENTION ASA
HIVEOF HUMAN BEES
By NELLIE BLV
BALTIMORE, July D— It's buzzing
!i|>e a mammoth swarm of bees. Bryan
■ante on with a small demonstration;
not as much as was expected. The del
egates are all in their seats. The jour
nalists are filing in slowly. Many seats
are still empty in the press section,
although every seat in the building out
side of this section is tilled.
Mrs. Taft comes in just three min
utes after Mr. Bryan. She sits in the
balcony on the first row, dressed in a
purple linen coat and skirt with a white
shirtwaist, wearing a chain around
her neck, her hat turned up at the side
and having a big wing. It is ali solid
purple, a deeper shade than her gown.
A few' cheers. That means Bryan
has gone over to speak to Mrs. Taft.
She smiles and the women with her
look delighted. They are not abashed
by the 48,000 eyes centered upon them
for a moment. They seem to enjoy the
sensation.
Bryan goes back to his place on the
platform. He looks satisfied. 1 wonder
if he has a promise of what he most
desires.
The chairman raps for order, and
prayer ij offered. The entire audience
stands so far as the eye can detect.
The Only Murphy is standing. He is
in his ghjrt sleeves. Almost the en
tire audience is tn its shirt sleeves:
still 1 can’t see Mr. Ryan. The white
hat of a woman in the next chair Is
visible. Prayer is over.
Twenty-four thousand persons sit
down at once. The movement is ac
companied by human voice sounds like
a long, loud, threatening roll of thun
der.
Hears Bryan Rap Belmont.
The meeting is called to order. Some
one gets up and objects. He says the
delegates are stopped by the police and
can’t get in. The chairman rules that
the police should clear the hall and
give admission to all delegates.
Bryan gets up to make a speech at
tacking Thomas F. Ryan, August Bel
mont and those representing them.
It is funny. Who could tell who rep
resents those vast moneyed interests?
A man gets on the platform and pro
tests against the criticism of Mr. Ryan,
who is a delegate from Virginia. Some
one yells from the gallery and the po
lice go to the man. He ought to have
been put out because he wore a vest.
Tt is a bully move of Mr. Bryan's, it
appeals to those who haven t got any
money.
Have you ever noticed how those who
have no claim to fame struggle to be
little the famous? Do you notice how
those who have not the ability to make
money hold up as if in shame those
who can?
Oh, that master stroke! Who* con
ceived the idea, no one tells, but it was
a speech that appealed to the envy and
hate of the people.
1 had to like the man because, he
dared to say what we all know.
It takes courage to do that. Rut he
had the courage because he was face io
face with defeat. It was dare or die.
When tile uproai got so bad that
Bryan could not be heard. Hal Flood,
of Virginia, put his arms around Bry
an’s neck and whispered to him for at
least ten minutes. Vt hen partial quiet
was restored. I felt sorry for Mr. Ryan.
He was a delegate and whether he had
money or n<> money his rights were as
good as Mr Bryan's. It was discour
teous to say the least. Mr. R>«n could
not reply. He had to stand all the
abuse of the eloquent Bryan.
Editor Mooney, of Memphis, who sat
beside me, wrote this and banded it ■<>
me.
“When a party loses its manners it
• light to die."
Mrs. Taft Watches.
Bui leave it to ttie gentlemen from
Virginia They were gallant and
brave. They meant that no outside
should criticize their choice, their se
lection or their fellow delegates
I write this as Hie roll cal! goes on.
The buzzing <>f the mammoth bee
swarm goes on with an occasional re
proof from the platform. Mrs. Taft
watches the audience almost continu
ously through opeia glasses. She is
quiet. A woman on her right tvho
looks as if she had sacrificed every biiai
of paradise on earth to adorn her hat
talks and fans continuously. Women
on Mrs. Taft's left have a tabulation
sheet and ate carefully registering 'he
V oler
Senator LaFollette, erstwhile Repub-
lican aspirant, endeavored to come
upon the platform. He is reporting the
convention. He is shoved gently but
firmly back.
That must be a jar. The fickleness
of fate! Had chance taken a different
turn Ito would have been the object of
the world’s attention, and now, just be
cause Dame Fortune dealt a better
hand to Mr. Taft, poor LaFollette is
shoved unknown and unheeded down
the stairs.
Bob Chanlee's Glasses.
Mrs. Taft slips quietly out of her
chair and the talkative lady' who re
mains behind suddenly loses her ani
mation and looks tired. Creighton
Webb has just taken a seat in the front
balcony. He is pale and has a purple
shirtwaist which adds to his pallor.
Miss Clare Bryce, whose red hair is in
tensified in here by the vividness of
the blue gown. Is yvhfspering to Bob
Chanler, who has adopted black
rimmed glasses which rival the largest
ever worn by’ a proud Chinese man
darin. The gifted Bob evidently' means
to see what's going on about him here
after. The result of the roll was re
peated. Some one said it was '■’ac
curate. Editor Mooney, of Memphis,
suggested to Melville Stone that it
would he a good thing tn have an add
ing machine
“I am an adding machine,” replied
Mr. Stone.
"Mooney meant figures, not popula
tion, Melville,” said another reporter
quickly.
Bryan, having fired his speech into
the convention and gotten rid of his
hatred for those who have more than
he has. has left the platform and gone
back to ills hotel to dictate for the
newspaper men his story of how ft oc
curred.
"Busy' as a bird," said Editor Moonev,
who had followed his idol to his hotel.
It is 12. the bottle is no more the fa
vorite of babes and drunkards and cir
cus bears.
Everybody With a Bottle.
Even when I look I see men and
women draining bottles joyfully and
unabashed. It looks as if everybody in
the armory has a bottle. J have seen
some with two. That makes at least
2,000 bottles in this building. Imagine
the joys of the gentlemen who use
sleign bells in the summer. I mean
the gentlemen who sing:
Any rags, any clothes, any hotties
today, is the same old song in the same
old way."
And then he says on the phonograph
record in a gruff, fierce tone. “Any
rags, lady?"
And the lady says in a high falsetto,
"No rags today," and snickers.
They are working the can now' in the
balcony where Bob Chandler sits. It
is a small red can and it’s taking the
place of a loving cup. Each one drinks
from it in turn.
And that in this microbe persecuted
age. And whop even the common peo
ple have sworn devotion to the sani
tary individual paper cup.
Some one is throwing up balloons
labeled t’lark. it may be a sign, hut
they won t float and the majority burst.
Senator Luke Lea, of Nashville, Tenn.,
the youngest man in the United States
senate, came up while the Clark men
were howling to talk to Editor Mooney.
Are you for woman suffrage?” I
asked the handsome senator.
"Did you put it in the platform.
Mooney?" he asked.
"No, but it ought to be there," said
Mr. Mooney. "Women could conduct a
Democratic convention better than the
men run this aggregation of frenzied
delegates."
“And do you and the senator believe
in woman's suffrage?” I asked.
Yes, I do. and have believed in it
for years." hi- said. "If we permit
women to work and force them into the
shops and factories, we should give
them all the political rights we have.
“If women could vote they would
command better wages and they would
not be discriminated against as they
now are. Also any woman who pays
I axes, should have a property right to
vote Women should control their
separate estates entirely free of a hus
band's interference.”
“Will you support woman suffrage in
your paper hereafter?"
"The paper I serve is a bigger insti
tution than I am," he said evasively.
Everything has been heard except the
"lioun' dog." Strange that even the
song is not heard during this demon
stration. As for the "houn." no one
seems to know lie is not here.
M', Clark's daughter is on the plat
form, She waves a (lag, but quite as if
site must. Site does not look as if she
felt she could < rea.tf much noise. She's

FELDER FIGHTS
TO LIMIT FUNDS
Railroad Employees to Con
tribute if Attorney General
Enters Race for Governor.
Attorney General Thomas S. Feld’r
came to town today to consult with
friends over his proposed entrance into
the race for the gubernatorial -nomi
nation.
"I don't know yet whether I will run
or not,” said Mr. Felder, "but if I do I
will make one of tne issues of my' cam
paign a law limiting candidates for
governor in the amount of money they
shall spend to secure the nomination.”
Mr. Felder refused to go into par
ticulars and would neither affirm nor
deny that he meant the statement as a
slap at John M. Slaton.
"Wait until I decide whether I’ll run
or not,” he said. ‘Til know next week,
and then I'll have something really in
teresting to say."
Railroad employees in Georgia will
contribute s3,not) or more to the cam
paign expenses of Attorney General
Felder, if he declares himself in the
race for governor against Joe Hill Hall
and John M. Slaton. Tull C. Waters,
one of the Fulton county commission
ers. has begun a systematic' canvass
among the railroad men and says all
will help.
Joe Hill Hall, also from Macon, ex
pressed doubt that Mr. Felder would be
a candidate, but said that even if Fel
der did run it would not affect the re
sult of the campaign, which is a re
mark Mr. Slaton's friends were willing
to accept and indorse. A mass meet
ing of Hall supporters is to be held at
Macon tonight, when a permanent or
ganization will be formed. It appears
likely the county of Bibb Is to be split
into two factions, having two guber
natorial candidates.

WEDNESDAY
United Doctors Ready to Receive
Patients—First Patient Will
Be Treated Free.
The opening of the new Medical Of
fices of the United Doctors, at 2 1-2
Auburn avenue, will mark an era oi
progress for Atlanta. For several
months past some of the most promi
nent business men of Atlanta have beer
striving to secure the location of this
institute. Now their ambition is ac
complished, and the sick and afflicted
of Hiis territory can reap the benefits
of coming to Atlanta and being cured
by these modern medical speciali-us
who have performed such wonders in
other larger cities.
The United Doctors, as the name im
plies. is an association of expert medi
cal specialists, who have united to or
ganize a new school of medicines, a
new and mote scientific and positive
system of curing human ailments. For
centuries the world lias been full of
different cults and isms in medicine,
we have the old root and herb doctor
with his bitter potions, the Allopajh
with Itis pills and quinine In herob ,
doses, the Homeopath with his tritura
tions and infinitesimal doses, th€> Eclec
trlc, the Osteopath, the Christian Sci
entist; we have been doctored by’ heat,
by electricity, by baths at Hot Springs
and by a multitude of men and meth
ods. Some of the patients were cured,
some died who should have been cured.
It was Impossible for the ordinary per
son to say which method of treating
diseases was the best, and the physi
cians of the various schools were so
biused that they could see good only
in their own methods; all others were
necessarily bad. Evidently there is
good *.,i all of them, for they cure some
cases, and some bad In all, for they all
failed and allow misery to remain and
death to come when a cure should ba
effected.
A tremendous stride forward was
made when the Association of the Unit
ed Poetoi- was formed.
This staff of scientists treat men and
women Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness,
Piles, Rupture, , C;»iicer. all the skin
diseases All diseases of the rectum
are positively cured by their new ties
