6 TAFTMAYNOTBE ONW.IffiT Fight in Party Promises to Make Roosevelt Head the Golden State G. 0. P. < . '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 Party, Says Hadley _ 4 ST. LOVIS, July 11—Governor Her bert F. Hadley, floor manager for Theo ’ dore Roosevelt In the Chi> ago conven tion. is opposed to a third party idea 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 Chicago come; tion and who do not in tend to support him,” the letter says.

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.

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.

CHICAGO, July 11.—For the first time in its history, the Hamilton club of Chicago has failed to ratify the ac tion of a Republican national conven tion.
