Trust Question Unsatisfactorily
Treated in Each, Declares 1
Ex-President Roosevelt.
OYSTER BAY. N. Y., July s—Colo
nel Roosevelt took a rap at both the
Republican and Democratic platforms
today, declaring that as far as the
trust question is concerned neither in
strument is .satisfactory
"Woodrow Wilson is a free trader,"
declared Colonel Roosevelt, "and his
‘■■lection and the carrying out of the
Democratic platform would mean the
destruction of the business of this
country. Both the Republican and
Democratic platforms are wrong in
their treatment' of the anti-trust law
Th* thing to do is to arrive at a just
and logical method of dealing with the
concentrated industrial forces of this
country, but at the same time the gov
ernmetit must exercise an iron hand.”
The colo'nel denied that he would
dominate the convention of the nation
al Progressive party when it Is held In
Chicago In the first w-eek of August.
The colonel said that everything would
b" free and open and that at this time
ho could not pay who would be. nomi

Lock your desk, leave your grouches behind and spend
a few weeks with your old, hopeful, eager, virile self. This
year of work has worn you out—you’re dulled from the
strain of dreaming and scheming —of plugging away at a
fixed idea. It costs more to stay at home than to stay
in Colorado. The round-trip fares are very low. You’ll
come back a year younger, renewed, refreshed, competent.
Any way of doing to Colorado is a good way, because it gets
you to Colorado. But the best road is the Rock Island and the
best service is that afforded b>' the electric lighted trains of the
Rock Island Lines
which set a new standard in travel comfort. Every mile of
the journey is a real enjoyment

The big dam across the Okmulgee river which backs up the waters into a lake of 4.000 acres. It is 100 feet high and 1,750 fe<
long. The wall of water which flows over the dam is 400 feet w’ide, or one-fourth of the entire width of the dam.
Several Atlanta reporters went down on the Ocmulgee river, near Jack
son, the other day,’and looked over our plant. They saw everything there
• was to see and they frankly admitted they were surprised.
They had heard, in away, that somebody had built a dam across the
Ocmulgee, but they didn’t know how big the dam really is nor what it is
doing. - .
That’s all because there hasn’t been much said about what we are doing.
We worked quietly for two years building the immense dam, which backs
up the waters of the Ocmulgee into a vast lake, and harnesses tsrie river
which for generations has been running to waste.
For quite a time we have been supplying the electricity which runs the
trolley cars and turns wheels of manufacturing plants in Macon. We are
bringing this power to Atlanta just as rapidly as workmen can build the
big transmission towers which carry the cables.
Our company is here to stay. We have a RExAL plant, producing
REAL power which we are selling for REAL money. And the rates for this
power in Atlanta are VERY reasonable. Our excellent equipment and
thorough organization make these rates possible.
The Central Georgia Transmission Company has no stock to sell. We
are selling POWER, not stock. And we are going to use the vast power
which the Ocmulgee river is miking for us in turning the wheels of xAtlanta.
The big towers which are to carry the transmission lines from Griffin
to xAtlanta are built and on these towers will be transmission lines of alumi
num. Snow and ice will not stick to aluminum and demoralize the service.
That’s why we decided on aluminum. Our service must be the best.
For several months, we have been preparing for our entrance into
Atlanta. We have contracted to sell a large part of the power we are
bringing here and we shall keep on until all the power at our disposal is
sold.
The Central Georgia Transmission Company is distinct, separate and
has no connection whatever with any other company of this kind operating
in Atlanta.
W’e shall have interesting stories to tell the people of Atlanta from
time to time and we shall tell these stories in the newspapers. We are also
talking to consumers of electricity every day. And we would like to talk
to more. In fact, we would like to talk to you.
AND PLEASE REMEMBER, WE ARE HERE TO STAY
