BARTLETT'S M
FEAR HIS liEFEAT
Urgent Appeal Macle for Bibb's
Vote by Congressman’s Ex
ecutive Committee.
MACON. GA.. Aug. 20.—The contest
for congress from the Sixth district
between Representative Charles L.
Bartlett, John W. Wise and John R.
Cooper reached Its climax today in a
heated newspaper controversy between
Bartlett and Wise. In a published fore
cast by the Bartlett executive commit
tee. it is declared that unless Bibb
county goes heavily for Mr. Bartlett his
defeat is probable and an urgent ap
peal is made to Macon voters to cast
their ballots for their fellow townsman.
Mr. Wise has invaded this county and,
through the newspapers, has been con
ducting an active campaign. Both
treat the candidacy of Mr. Cooper rath
er lightly, and say he is not a factor.
The Bartlett committee in its state
ment concedes the counties of Fayette,
Clayton. Henry Spalding and Pike to
Mr. Wise, and states that Butts and
Monroe are uncertain. The counties
claimed for Mr. Bartlett are Bibb,
Jones. Crawford. Upson and Jasper.
As the plurality rule however,
the candidate receiving the greatest
aggregate of votes will be the winner.
Mr. Wise's chief accusations against
Mr. Bartlett are that Macon has held
the office 4S of 4'l years, and that the
country districts should now be fa
vored; that Mr. Bartlett has had the
office eighteen years and that his rec
ord does not warrant his re-election.
In his published advertisements to
\day. Mr. Wise severely criticises Mr.
Bartlett, and the latter's executive com
mittee in turn accuses Mr. Wise of
unfair methods and defends Mr. Bart
lett's record at length.

Moose Fight
For Party Circle
CHICAGO. Aug. 20. A determined
fight by the e party for a party
circle on the state ticket at the fail elec
tion is to be made, according to leading
Progressives here. While the Illinois
election law defines a party as one which
received two per cent of the vote at the
previous election and says only parties
can have circles at the top of their bal
lots. the Progressives propose to show
that this feature of the law has always
been disregarded. A number of third
parties have been granted the privilege
of the circle, they say. They plan a
mandamus suit in the state supreme
court tn compel grouping of Progressive
candidates in one column with a party
• circle at the top
State officials have asserted that the
new party has no standing under the law
and that it will not be recognized as a
party organization when the ballots are
printed.

Interest Between Competitors
for Silver Cup Given Men
and Boys Keen.
Jennie Perkerson and Virginia Mer
ker. Piedmont lake's two premier girl
swimmers, are keeping in training as
consistently as any member of the
Olympic team and nearly every day at
the park Life-Savors Carraway and
McDermott are hailed with a "Watch
out for me. I'm going out!"
Jennie's favorite method of getting
strength in her arms is by rowing, and
she has developed into almost as capa
ble an oarswoman as she is a swim
mer. Virginia sticks to the w;vter and
practices various strokes, trying to get
a variety in order to rest her muscles
on a log swim.
Jennie has beat Virginia decisively
in a mile swim and in a half-mile swim,
but they are willing and anxious to
race each other again, for Virginia is
constantly improving and Jennie is not
the sort to rest on laurels w'on in the
past. Another race for a new length
probably will be pulled off on Septem
ber 15, when Piedmont park bathers
will end the season with the largest
water carnival of the year.
Interest is keen among the men and
boys who are striving for the silver cup
offered 'o the winner of the greatest
number of points in the races of last
week and the coming races. R. F. Sams
now is in the lead, but has so slight an
advantage that any one of several
swimmers may take the cup away from
him.
A water polo game, probably the first
ever seen by the public of Atlanta, is
being arranged for that day between
two well matched teams.
“Any one who has seen football can
understand water polo." says Captain
Ben F. Sehlomberg, who is training the
aquatic players.
"Football, you know, is just a milder
form of water polo, and the water game
is full of excitement from the start to
the last moment."

HELEN KELLER
Gi SING NDWi
Blind and Deaf. She Also Ad
dresses Convention in Three
Languages.
i
CAMBRIDGE. MASS. Aug. 20.
Helen Adams Keller sang at the Oto- j
logical congress at the Harvard Medical ;
school. Yet this charming and ac- I
lontplished young wofnan became deaf |
dumb and blind after a severe Hines.- |
in January, 18S2. when she was btt’ I
nineteen months old.
She. who could not utter a «ortl. a 1-
dressed the scientists at the congress i
who came from all over the world, in j
three languages. English, French and
German.
Even these otologists, whose specialty |
Is the study of the ear. Its anatomy an,
its diseases, could not refrain from ex
claiming:
"Almost it i« a miracle!"
Patient Teachers Aid Her.
By the infinite patience of her teach
ers. by the tremendous power of her
own mentality. Helen Keller had
emerged from the fog in which she
seemed to giope helpless.
Professor John E. Wright, of New
York, who has devoted his life to in
sructing deaf mues and who was Miss
Keller's first teacher, introduced her
to the learned assemblage. She has
been studying singing for eighteen
months with Professor White, of th
Boston Conservatory of Music. He
seated himself at the piano, struck a
few chords and the, marvellous young
woman began to sing.
As she sang many of her audience
were moved to tears. Her tones wen
tow. but her voice, lost and restored,
reached every corner of the great room.
Only a sea false notes marred her
singing.
Seems to See Hearers.
' Miss Keller seemed to look straight
ahead out of het sightless eyes; she
seemed to gaze into the faces of those
before her, to recognize their emotions
to be conscious of their smiles; to b<
flattered, perhaps, by their wonder. The
simplicity of her manner was most de
lightful and most affecting. There sht
stood, a pure being, isolated, dwelling
alone with her happy, courageous
thoughts.
Miss Keller will lecture this autumn
beginning in Schenectady. N. Y.. when
Mayor Lunn, a Socialist, has made het
a member of his advisory board.

PITTSBURG, Aug. 20.—With brass
bands playing and 2,000 neighbors,
friends and others follow ing and cheer
ing. Harry Spohn, a wealthy young
merchant and his beautiful bride, who
was Miss Mary Brown, a society belle,
were driven through the streets of
Crafton, an exclusive suburb of this
city, caged and ironed, together in an
iron-barred animal wagon.
Spohn and Miss Brown eloped to
Grove City. Pa., and were married. The
elopement wis planned principally to
escape the practical humorists among
Mr. Spohn's employees and friends.
When the merrymakers arrived at the
house with the lion cage belonging to a

the doors and hid, but was outwitted by
friends climbing to the roof and getting
in a gable window. Spohn was waylaid
as he entered his home.

VETO OF DEMOCRATIC
BILLS JUSTIFIES TAFT’S
RE-ELECTION-HILLES
By CHARLES D HILLES. |
Chairman of the Republican Na
tional Committed.
NEW YORK, Aug. 20. —President
Taft’s record in this session of con
gress alone des pi ves so large a meas-
ure of admira
tion and gratitude
from the Ameri
can people as to
insure his re
election and 1
believe it will.
He has stood like
a rock in oppo
sition to the "leg
islative recall,"
which the Demo
cratic house has
attempted t o
practice on the
commerce court.
He has exerted
a potent influence
to prevent Demo
cratic parsimony
from crippling the
navy.
® ; 'i
He hus h< en ns adamant against the
efforts of the Democrats to mutilate
the civil service by legislation which
would cancel the employment of every
government employee at the end of
seven years and thus necessitate a re
sort to tit old and discredited "pull.”
He has compelled the legislative
branch of the government to observe
the constitutional provision for three
co-ordinate branches of the govern
ment. which It attempted to override
by an effort to legislate a general of
ficer out of the office of chief of staff.
He has sought by every possible,
means to inculcate in a recklessly ex
travagant Democratic majority in the
house the principles of public economy,
and he has endeavored by a series of
presidential messages to guide the leg
islative branch along the lines of wise
legislation, beneficial alike to producer
and consumer, to the wage earner and
the 'employer.
His Stand For Commerce Court.
t'ongiess. seeking only to inculcate
favor with the thoughtless, has seen fit
to attempt to abolish by legislative en
actment the commerce court because
certain of its decisions have been un
popula r.
It has wholly disregarded the all
important fact that by means of that
court the litigant has been enabled to
secure the adjudication of his claim
against the railroad in six months, in
stead of waiting two years, which was
the average time required to settle an
appeal to the circuit court before- the
commerce court was created The ad
vantage of such a reduction to every
shipper who has not unlimited means
at his disposal all must appreciate, as
also he must appreciate bow li.tle, by
comparison, such delay Inconveniences
the wealthy and powerful toad.
It has seemed popular to denounce
certain decisions of the commerpe cour‘
;.s inimical to the interests of lhe ship
pers, even as a tiavesty on justice.
Even wme these charges true, th'
shippers would have been deprived of
no rights, for the same tight of appeal
to the supreme court which the ship
per always enjoyed is still open to him

Upholding the Navy.
The proper development and main
tenance of the American navy would
have been brought to an absolute
standstill by Democratic parsimony had
it not been for the persistent efforts of
President Taft and the members of his
cabinet which have marie so plain to
the American public the needs of the
navy. Patriotic Democratic newspa
pers here condemned In unmeasured
terms the course of their representa
tives in congress, so that now there is
every prospect that at least one battle
ship will be authorized.
The Democrats have sought persis
tefltly to nullify the great reforms
which have been accomplished by Re
publican administrations in the estab
lishment of a civil service free from
political influences. To this end. and in
order to make the civil service em
ployee once more dependent upon the
whim of the congressman, the Demo
crats in the house passed a bill which,
had it bc*en approved by President Taft,
ty ould have made it necessary for every
government employee to turn his at
tention from the work of the govern
ment and to devote it to cultivating
such political influence as would insure
his retention at the end of each seven
year period. Fortunately this provi
sion, as well as that which provides for
the legislative recall of the judges of
the commerce court, are contained in a
single appropriation bill which will be
properly vetoed by President Taft.
Saving an Army Officer.
When the politicians in congress
sought to legislate out of office a gen
eral officer because he had not sought
first their favor at the expense of the
economical and efficient administra
tion of the v army. President Taft
promptly vetoed the army appropria
tion bill.
The success of the attempt would
have encouraged every military politi
cian and discouraged every army officer
who. true to his calling, sought only the
efficiency of this great arm of the na
tion’s defense. A less courageous pres
ident might have sought to promote his
personal popularity by signing the bill,
even at the expense of the army’s wel
fare, but in this, as in all cases. Presi
dent Taft refused even to consider
questions of political expediency and
persisted in standing for the right, even
though by so doing he might incur the
enmity of powerful members of con
gress, Some of them in his own party.
