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.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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 carnival company, Mrs. Spohn barred 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. TRAMP HURT IN WRECK. VALDOSTA, GA..

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 [CASTOR IA The Kind You Have Always Bought has borne the signa ture of Chas. 11.

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. > ' SIOO Reward.
