Roosevelt
"Rut. as a matter of fad. it happens
that in the campaign of 1904 I wrote to
Mr Cortelxou stating ’hat I wished no

"If any money was received from the

MEN GO TO CHURCH
AND DOFF COATS;
PLAN A BIG SUCCESS
Rev. Charles A. Ridley, pastor of the
Central Baptist church, is well satisfied
today with his experiment of allowing
the men of his congregation to remove
their coats during the Sunday services
For some time the pastor has asked
the women worshippers to take off their
hats ?o that ail might see him while he
Is preaching and last Saturday he an
nounced thgt lie would allow the men
to take off their coats.
"We had the largest attendance of
men I can rein»*mber al chur' li. except
for some special service." the pastor
said today, and I believe It was be
cause they know tha‘ they could be
comfortable \rhil? listening ’•» the ser

FERTILIZER FUSS
MIRER BI PRICE
Oconee Candidate for Commis
sioner of Agriculture Profits
by Opponents’ Scrap.
——
I While Ills two opponents are pelting I
each other with mud. and "squabbling I
as to which one belongs to the fertilizer I
trust. Jam’ s l> Price, of Oconee, is;
waging a dignified campaign for com
mission, i of agriculture, and winning
much favor and many votes through
out the state by reason of his dispas
sionate and busines’like attitude.
I do not tmnk tne people of Geor
| pin are particularly interested In the
I washing if the Blalock and Brown dirty
linen, and unless I mn mistaken, they
will resent having the nauseating mesa
I stuck under then noses every day or
. so," said a well known Georgia poll-
Itician today.
Hammer Each Other.
| Blalock accuses Brown of being a
'm< re tool' of Tom Watson, and says j
th' fertilizer trust is hacking Brow n. I
anyway. Brown says Blalock sought to
have the fertilize) trust back the Rla-|
lock campaign, and. being a b,nk»i ,
and a lawyer, is bound tight to the
’big Intel.sts
"These two have hammet.d at each
.other, and produced ~o much evidence
land nea r-e'. idem e to back up their va- i
‘ nous accusations, that I have about.
I d'-cldcd that I do not know wh it is the
I truth about cither one of them If half
of what each says about the other is
true, neither should b<- elected commis
sioner.
"What 1 do know is this, however:
Price is nobody's man hut his own He
wears his own collar and bosses his
own conscience. He Is a practical, suc
cessful farmer knows the farminpl
business from top to bottom, and would ;
be able, by reason of his praetie.il I
knowledge, to conduct ills office to th. ■
farmers' best Interests. Nobody charge
price with belonging to the fertilizer
peopb, or of lining undei any obli
gations to them.
Clean-Cut Fight.
"Price has made a clean-cut. high
minded. straightforward and sineei.
fight for commissioner of agriculture,
and 1 am going to vote for him—and
thousands of others, too. for the reason
that he ha - fought so gallantly and so |
well."
| Mr. Price Is in Atlanta today, fresh
. | from a tour of northeast Georgia. He
expresses the greatest confidence In the
. | outcome- of his campaign, and declares
jtliat next Wednesday night will see him
i a big winner.
In none of Mr. Price's campaign doc
uments, letters or caifls, Is there a hint
of mud-slinging or discourtesy to his >
, opponents He is confining his fight .
squarely to issues and the merits of I

of having attended seventy-seven vamp

archal and the most interesting figure
at the Mount Gilead meeting, just
closed. He was made further inter

richest man in the world, according to
his own word.
He had been rich in the world’s
goods, but less 'than a year ago he
gathered his ten children together.
Then he had a will drawn and tore it
to bits, saying at the same time that
his fortune would be immediately di
vided among his children with only a
pcnnt retained for himself.
This penny, he said, would make him
the richest man in the world, because
it would be i reminder ih.it his ehll

happy.
Hoary and gaunt, like some ancient
oak in a forest of saplings. Mr. Wal

around him. They all were not there.
If they had been they would have num

"Yes." he started to tell them and
the crowd began gathering around. "I

There weren't so many as there is now
but they were just as strong tn the

"Were the girls as pretty then?”
askrd a youngster
"They wete lots prettier.” he said
"Only they tried to hide it by dressing
ugly. They had an idea that the Lord
didn't like pretty gals.”

—GOVERNOR WILSON.
Governor Says the Progressive
Element in Party Dominates.
Hence It Can Be Trusted.
SEAGIRT. N. J.. Aug. 19.—Governor
Wilson today gave another explanation
of his "Bull Moose" reference in his
Saturday’s speech.
Replying to a request for such a
statement, he dictated the following:
"The progressive element in the Re
publican party tried to get control of it
and failed. The progressive element in
the Democratic party tiled to get con
trol of it and overwhelmingly succeed
ed. So it is obvious to the whole coun
try that the Democratic party is free to
serve all the purposes of the people.
"The Democratic party has thus be
come a free, organized instrumentality
through which programs of reform can
be carried out."
Governor Wilson is to speak at Union
Hill, near Hoboken. before Platts

afternoon. Afterward he will go to
