ST. LOUIS. July 11.—Governor Her

His opposition was stated in a letter to ,
Pen Peering, 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 1 can to .
prevent the organization of a third par

of it. I am opposed to any rule of pro

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS

superb quality.
It may be that he never will reach

thi modem Alexander will be found
j to have,played well his part.
< »f all the champions of prohibition
th;.', hav< appeared in Georgia of late
J >ears. H oper Alexander is easily the
,nm ■ i ffeetive He carried the Tippins
j bill to victory in circumstances far less
I helpful than those in which the state
wide law was passed.
Trm it it that Alexander employed
such fireworks as he could command.
I H i.ati h- d the stars from the heavens
whenevt-i he found the snatching good,
and he * wrapped the Star-Spangled
Banner around anything and every-
I thing in reach of the wrapping; hut
i such snatching, and such wrapping as
i Air wander indulged In wore confined

packed and jammed galleries. There
were few plumed knights and smiling

Where these who fought to pass the
statewide bill battled in the presence of
an hysterical mob. Alexander on Tues
day fought all but single-handed, and
alone, and in the galleries only th" oVer
faithful Airs. 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
plause.
Whether the oponents of prohibition
love him or no, they must coneede
Alexander to be a foeman in every way
worthy of their most approved and de
pendable steel.
He fights like a crusader—with the
zeal a,nd unreason of a fanatic perhaps,
with the valor and bravery of a true
believer ever?
Hooper Alexander in action, in the
thick of a light and panoplied for war.
with sword in hand and 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 ihrice armed
in having his quarrel just may be a
question calling for thought now and
then. That, once having enlisted jn a
cause, he will bo found fighting in tin.
last ditch, if life then he left In him, is
a question entirely one-sided and ad
mitting of no dispute.
Hooper Alexander wears with the
white ribbon of prohibition unmistak
ably the red badge of courage.
Speaker Holder probably warded off by
immedisre and emphatic diplomacy Tues
day something of y, scene in the house,
when he. decided right off 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 tn
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, in 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.
I
There are members of the legisla
ture on record as favoring the Tip
pins hill 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 hill 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
spe.Aks with persuasive, and compelling
emi'S# is," said a member down in front,
"but when he begins handing out those
jaw-breakers. T have to do mental gym
nastics to keep up with him When he
began Speculating today,- for Instance,
about ’inrompatibles 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 Clark 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 by this same
writer of clipping the final "s" from the
Douglass end of that party's name.
All of which must make Mr. Howell
sad indeed to think upon!
So far, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
seems to he a bull moose at large in
his own china shop exclusively.
•lames J. Flynt, of Saplding. has
thrown his hat In the railroad commis
sionership ring, speclficallj’ alongside of
Judge Hillyer'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:
Hillver, silk hat; Flynt, derby; Banks
ton, sombrero.
After dragging along for a time and
' arousing no Interest whatever in the
i breasts of “the various gmtlemen of the
I 'bird house" who at legislative times in
Atlanta most do congregate, the "lobby
ing book" seems suddenly to have leaped
Into great favor, and surprising has been
the rush of late upon the part of effected
ones tn register.
When the book was opened, four per
ons confessedly interested in pending
legislation, immediately walked right up
and registered. Following that fine get
away, 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
I things go.
The book for the registration of lobby

thing, and it certainly was planned to
meet a worthy purpose So far. however,
it contains the name of no person who
would be suspected of dishonorable or

STANDPAT FIGHT
IN PROHJ. RANKS
Reactionaries Start War* to
Overthrow Reactionary Dom
ination of Committee.
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 desire of
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 Anally set
tled.
What the Platform Proposed.
The 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
and 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.
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.
