Fight in Party Promises to

< .
'SAN FRANCISCO. Juh- 11.--Colonel
Thecxire bolt in ''hl'ago
has thr'onn the Republicans of Califor
nia into a wilderness • f difficulties out |
of which must arve their way j
F , before the presidential election on No-i
vembc-r 5.
Through the complication.- of the
hew California primary law. which will I
be tried for the first time, It appears
now that the contest at the Republi
can primary September 3 will not bo
so much a fight to elect certain candi
dates tn the senate and assembly of the .
legislature and to the national con- i
gress, but another fight between Presi- |
dent Taft and Theodore Roos»\ett.
Roosevelt has put California into a
unique position. Outside of this state
he is a national progressive. In ft he
is a Republican This is because th- :
primary law doe* not provide for ,i 1
third party here If Roosevelt - fol
lowers carry everything before them,
and for the present at hast they have
the upperhanri, ft Is possible that a
Taft Republican will ha’o no oppor-i
tunity to vote for his leader in Call '
fornla on November 5.
The presidential Electors from C'nli-|
fornia are to be chosen in party con
ventions tn meet in Sacramento nt the
end of September.
Since Governor Johnson’s proclama
tlon that he refuses to recognize the
nomination of President Taft at Chi
cago on the ground that it was the
work of "porch climbers” the progres
sive Republicans have chosen to re
math within their party ranks, and to
make their great fight a < amp tign tn
place Roosevelt electors on the regu
lar Republican th ket.
No Need for Third

ST. LOVIS, July 11—Governor Her

His opposition was stated in a letter to
Ben Deering, a Republican leader here.
"I am opposed and will, of course,
take no part in the organization of a
third party. I will do what I can to
prevent the organisation of a third par
ty. for the reason that there is no need
of it. I am opposed to any rule of pro.
scrlption which would drive from the
Republican pnrty those who consider
Mr. Taft th> rightful nomirfee of the

tend to support him,” the letter says.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
Regardb ss of whether one agrees
with Hooper Alexander, member of the
legislature from DeKalb, if he be not
prejudiced and blind to facts he must
adn.lt that Alexander is a fighter of
superb quality.
•It may be that he never will reach
a point wh'-re, like another Alexander,
he mu-t erase fighting because there
art no r./’i, worlds to conquer, still in
the more mode t but rg.t less worthy
record of thing- achieved by sheer
feme of aggr< -siveness and courage.
I this modern Alexander will be found
I to have played « • 11 his part. •
Os all the champions of prohibition
! that have appeared in Georgia of late
(years. Hooper Alexander is easily the
■mo t effective. >{■ carried the Tippins
bill to victory in circumstances far less
helpful than those In which the state
wide law was passed.
True it is that Alexander employed
•sti'ii fireworks as ):•■ could command.
' He snatched the stars front the heavens
whenever hr- found the snatching good,
and h<- wrapped the Star-Spangled
Banner around anything and every
thing in reach of the wrapping; but
. such snatching and ’such w rapping as
I Alexander indulged in were confined
oxi lusively to himself. There were no
packed and jammed galleries. There
were few plumed knights and smiling
and appr. ving ladies to urge him on.
Where thj’so who fought to pass the
i statewide bill battled In the presence of
■ an hysterical mob. Alexander on Tttes
. day fought all but single-handed and
alone, and ip the galleries only the over
faithful Air-. Armor laid herself liable
to verbal chastisement from the speak
er of the house now and then, by reason.
of her occasional but subdued ap
plau so.
Whether the oponents of prohibition
love him or no, they must concede
Alexander to be a foeman in every way
worthy of their most approved and de
pendable’ steel.
He tight- like a crusader—with the
zeal and unreason of a fanatic perhaps,
with the valor and bravery of a true
believer ever!
Hooper .Alexander In action, in the
thick of a fight and panoplied for war,
with sword in hand ami armor buckled
on. Is well worth going to see. He may
come forth from battle dead and on his
shield, he will not come forth unhon
ored, and unworthy.
Whether Alexander be thrice armed
in having his quarrel just may be a
question calling for thought now and
then That, <>n< - e having enlisted in a
cat.t. d, he w ill bo found fighting in the
last ditch, if life then be left In him, is
tt question entirely one-sided and ad
mitting of no dispute.
Hooper Alexander wears with the
white ribbon of prohibition unmistak
ably the rod badge of courage.
Speaker Holder probably,warded off by
immediate and emphatic diplomacy Tues
day something of a scene in the house,
when he decided right of? the reel that the
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THURSDAY. JULY 11. 1912.
''ayes’’ had it upon the question of ex
tending the use of the hall of the house
of representatives tomorrow evening to
Hon. Thomas E. Watson, for an address
upon public issues of the day.
When the resolution had been read, the
speaker put the question to the house in
due and ancient form, and while the
"ayes” responded nobly, there was a vo
ciferous chorus of "noes” playing a close
second. The division was rather narrow
apparently, although the "ayes” seemed
to have it The speaker inflicted a re
sounding whack upon his desk, raised his
gavel menacingly as if about to whack
again, and said, "The ayes have it!”
Far, remote, and distant was it from
anybody to dispute the ruling, ih the cir
cumstances, and so much eloquence and
not a small degree of bitterness was
warded off for the time being—and that
was right, perhaps, in view of the fact
that the Tippins bill was up for consid
eration, and there was evidence of sul
phur in the air, anyway.
There are members of the legisla
ture on record as favoring the Tip
pins bill who love It almost so ardent
ly as the average rich man loves his
poor kin
Mr Converse, of Lowndes, enjoys quite
a reputation as a word slinger among his
legislative colleagues.
In addressing himself adversely to the
Tippins Will on Tuesday, the honorable
gentleman released a vocabulary that
clothed his ideas in grand, gloomy, and
peculiar dignity at. times, but. went pret
ty well over the heads of some of his
hearers, nevertheless.
"Converse is a splendid orator, and
speaks with persuasive and compelling
emphasis,” said a member down in front,
"but when he begins handing out those
Jaw-breakers, I have to do mental gym
nastics to keep up with him. When he
began speculating today, for instance,
about 'lncompatibles prescribed by some
austere psychological physicians,’ I threw
up my hands. I honestly didn't know
what he was talking about—believe me!”
A writer in The New York Sun calls
down i'lark Howell for referring to the
late Frederick Douglass as "a. little black
man."
This writer avers that Mr. Howell didn’t
know what he was talking about when
he described Douglass after that fashion,
holding that the famous negro was, in
reality, a "giant mulatto."
Mr. Howell Is also accused bv this same
writer of clipping the final "s” from the
Douglass end of that party's name.
All of which must make Mr. Howdll
sat! indeed to think upon!
So far, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
seems to be a bull moose at large in
his own china shop exclusively.
James J. Flynt, of Saplding, has
thrown his hat in the railroad commte
sionership ring, specifically alongside of
Judge Hlllyer’s.
That makes two hats for the judge’s
distinguished consideration—Mr. Flynt's
and Mr. Trox Bankston's.
That collection should afford somebody
a fine opportunity for a study of hats,
particularly as to the psychology thereof.
One might easily picture them thus;
Hillyer, silk hat; Flynt, derby; Banks
ton, sombrero.
After dragging along for a time and
arousing no interest whatever in the
: breasts of "the various gentlemen of the
i third house” who at legislative times in
| Atlanta most do congregate, the "lobby-
I ng book” seems suddenly to have leaped
into’great favor, and surprising has been
the rush of late upon the part of effected
ones to register.
When the book was opened, four per
sons confessedly interested in pending
legislation, immediately walked right up
inr! registered. Following that fine get
iway, there was nothing doing in the
registering business until within the last
few days.
There are now upon the book some
two score or more of names, many of
them familiar enough, too, as those
things go.
The book for the registration of lobby
sts is a product of the great "reform
| movement inaugurated in Georgia a few
' ears back, and evidences of which may
I be found scattered all through the stat
-1 ute books, if one but look.
It is generally thought to be a good
| thing, and it certainly was planned tn
meet a worthy purpose. So far, however,
t contains the name of no person who
| would be suspected of dishonorable or
’ questionable purpose around and about
I the eapitol, whether his name appeared
In the book or not.
The idea that these registered "lobby
ists are required to wear big badges and
rreen feathers in their hats is an errer
i They dress, and, in the main, act like
i ordinary human beings.

Reactionaries Start War to
Overthrow Reactionary Dom

CONVENTION HALL. ATLANTIC
CITY. N. J., July 11.—The beginning of
the fight between the insurgent and
standpat Prohibitionist factions over
the national chairmanship and the re
port of the subcommittee on resolutions
begun today at the second day’s ses
sion of the national convention. The
factional fight hinges on the deelre Os
the insurgents to overthrow the stand
pat domination of the "dry” national
committee, which practically directs the
affairs of the party during the interim
between national conventions.
President Patton, of Illinois, started
the ball rolling by offering an amend
ment to the rules committee report,
calling for the election of the national
committee chairman by the convention
at-large. This amendment precipitated
a long technical wrangle between the
rival factions, which promised a warm
fight before the matter was finally set
tled.
What the’Platform Proposed.
Th* important planks in the plat
form as adopted by the resolutions
committee are as follows:
Direct election of United States sena
tors. A presidential term of six years
grid one term only.
A uniform marriage and divorce law,
the extermination of polygamy and the
complete suppression of white slave
traffic.
Suffrage for women on the same
terms as men. i
Court review of postoffice decisions.
The absolute protection of the rights
of labor without impairment of the
rights of capital.
The settlement of all international
disputes by arbitration.
The initiative and referendum, with
out the recall.
The tariff is a commercial question
and should be fixed scientifically on the
basis of accurate knowledge secured by
means of a permanent, non-partisan
tariff commission, with ample powers.
