2 urn LEAO ; BELL MO CRISP WIN Official Count May Be Neces sary in Sixth and Eleventh Congressional Districts. Georgia appar-entlv elected three new congressmen y<-t<rday and retained two old ones In the Sixth, the race between .1. Wal ter Wise and Congressman Charles L. Bartlett seems to be so close that it will require a complete count to de termine the winner, with the surface in div ations favoring Wise. Bartiett is dependent upon the vote of Bibb to pull him through. Wise comes to Macon with a big lead over Bartlett, tnd Bartlett's vote in Bibb does not seem to be quite sufficient to pull him through. The plurality plan of nominating controls in this district.

The race in the Ninth was a surprise in away. Bell was thought to have the inside, but few predicted that the. present congressman would be so over whelming!) renominated, as he seems to have been. Apparently he has 22 votes safe and secure already, with more to come. The 22 he has will nominate. t'barters and Holder both seem to have run well, but neither came any where near Bell’s tine lead. In the Eleventh, from which Mr. Brantley retires, it looks as if It may requite the official vote to tell the re sult. On the face of things. Parker has a shade the better of it. and likely will w in out, but in any event by a narrow convention margin Indeed, the vote Is so close in this race that a contest may arise in the convention. Parker's Chance Best. If Parker wins Charlton, a remote county not yet returned, he will be nominated, and he has been considered a favorite in that county.

SAYS SENATOR DIXON By SENATOR J. M. DIXON. Chairman of the National Progressive Committee. NEW YORK. Aug 22. I welcome this opportunity to tell the readers of The Georgian the truth about the Pr<v gressive party. This <• impaign is un like any campaign in the history of the republic, for the reason that the Pro gressive party is unlike any other po litical party that has taken part in a presidential campaign. What we are seeking to do is not only to elect to office a man and a set of men. but to solve by the application of scientific principles the problems that are behind that unrest and dissatisfac tion with conditions which, if left alone, will culminate in socialism, or even anarch}. Our platform is more th in a reaffir mation of the commandment ’'Thou Shalt Not Steal." Il is an assertion of the doctrine that the people are tit to rule, and ought to rule this country. And it undertakes to remove from their path the obstacles raised by law writ ten by men who lived in a day when our present problems did not exist, and could not even by inspired eyes have been foreseen. Would Make Platform Law. We mean to write that platform into the statute books of this country, and to make it the law. We mean to make it possible for men to be humane, to consider their fellow men. and their fellow women without violating the constitution of the United States. We mean to enable honest business to pros per by making the other kind of busi ness not only dishonest, but illegal. We mean to return to the government of the founders of the country that is. a living, practical government of the liv ing by the living, not a government of the living by I he dead. It is because our purpose is so plainly expressed in our platform that we are meeting with a response that is almost universal. It is because we propose to raise la bor. in its broadest sense, to its due dignity and to give it just reward that the men In the mills, and in the swea shops, and on the farm and on Ute rail road section are joining with us by thousands, and will vote with us by tens of thousands Recognize Female Equality, It is because we recognize that the women who bear the men of t|ie na tion are fully as worth} as the sons, they rear that we have wakened the in terest not only of the w omen, but of | ever} broad-minded man who has thought at all upon human equallt}. You can read our platform from one end to the other. Yon will find no empty phrases In it. no dodging of an} issue. m> attempt to catch votes from both sides of ,i line-up hr steering m evn-ive middle routs In favoring ti e initiative and the ref crendum we would give the people the power to legislate dir tly 11 it lie. oho - n. eessai \ t r them to do .so Out ndvoeae} of the recall is du< to .mt conxietion that nun sotm titm s provt lals'j to th' p> opj. ami to out i lief that such men should be taken out of office and replaced by men with a higher sense of their obligations. Promises Child Labor Ban. The awful horror of child labor Is a thing on which there can be only one opinion. Yet with every opportunity to stop it neither the Republicans nor the Democrats have done so. We will stop it, and at once, if the people intrust our party with the direction of legisla tion. Reduced to its simplest terms, our platform is but paragraphed common sense. It is scientific, but it is not com plex. It is easily understood, easily ap plied. And yet because it will divert il legal gains from the pockets of a few crooks w ho have intrenched themselves behind archaic statutes it is denounced by their kind as socialistic. 1 want to say just this: Sooner or later in this present century there must be progress, as there has been in every century since the first group of men established the first primitive govern ment. Either this progress will come stead 1} with the planks of our platform, and bring it about, or it will come vio lently. Dammed up public opinion, like dammed up water, is dangerous. There comes a time w hen tite dam will break. Later I hope to deal more particular ly w ith the planks of out platfor, and more intimately with the course of the campaign. Today 1 will content my self by prophesying that within a very tew weeks leaders of the two old par lies w ill be astonished and dismayed by deflections from their ranks to ours. For 1 know that the voters of this nation are long suffering; but I know that they ate tired and disgusted by promises that are never kept, and when on election day they find the recall in their hands they will use it to good purpose.

While Accused Men Are Arraigned. NEW YORK. Aug. 22. —A triple in quiry into the murder of Gambler Her man Rosenthal and the alleged alliance between the police department and the underworld took, place in three sepa rate tribunals today. The inquest into Rosenthal’s assassi nation began at 10 o’clock in general sessions court. Coroner Feinberg, in whose bailiwick the crime was commit ted. had subpenaed a long list of wit nesses. although it was not certain whether all would be called upon to testify. Police Lieutenant Charles A. Becker. "Dago Frank" Ciroflci. William Sha piro. Frank Muller and Jacob Reich were ordered to appear before Judge Mulqueen in general sessions at noon and plead to the indictment handed down by the grand jury Tuesday, charg ing them with Rosenthal’s murder. The grand jury resumed its investiga tions with Detective William J. Burns under subpena. Burns was slated to go before the grand jury this afternoon to reveal the names of police officials whom he had trapped into accepting corruption money. District Attorney Whitman said he is favorably impressed with the progess that had been made in the case, and now that he has offered $5,000 reward for the capture of “Lettie Louie” and "Gyp the Blood,” the two gun men still at large, he looks for events to move even faster. New Arraignment Record. The arraignment of five men on a capital charge sets a new record for this jurisdiction. Never before have so many persons been brought to the bar to answer the charge of participation in one murder in New York city. Interesting developments were ex pected from the grand jury investiga tion. At the district attorney’s office it was said that careful investigation would be made of the charge that Beck er worked a frame-up to gain ascen dancy over "Big Jack” Zelig, a gang leader whose services Becker supposed he might need. Charges against Po licemen White and Steinert, who arc al leged to have arrested Zelig on Beck er’s orders, will be sifted. These two men are accused by Zelig of planning evidence against him. At the time Ze lig was arrested on a charge of carry ing concealed weapons. Although his friends swear the gang leader was with out a weapon at the time of his ar rest, the policemen later produced a re volver which they alleged they had taken from the prisoner. At this session of the grand jury it will also look into allegations that a high police inspector, still in the serv ice, and a civilian, whose relations with 1 the police department are close, bene fited from the tribute which the police “system” extorted from keepers of gambling establishments and proprie tors of disorderly houses. Becker’s Wealth $125,000. Further success has crowned the ef forts of the district attorney’s depart ment in getting at the source and amount of Becker’s wealth. Tt is now : believed that as a consequence of dis covering new bank accounts Becker’s fortune will be shown to be at least $125,000. Assistant District Attorney William A. Deford has been detailed by Mr. 1 Whitman to investigate every possible phase of the police graft in the hear ings which will be conducted by Jus tice Goff in a special term of the su preme court, beginning September 3. One of the most sensational of the new developments in the case is the ’ direct charge by Whitman that the po lice are shielding "Leftie Louie" and Harry Horowitz, alias "Gyp the Blood,” the two gun fighters still at large. District Attorney Whitman’s offer of a reward of $5,000 for the arrests of these two was made after prominent New York citizens had agreed to sup ply the funds, it was learned today. In ■ making the offer. Mr. Whitman stipu i lated that members of the police de partment could not share in it if they made the arrests, because he believes i | they have shielded the two fugitives. William J. Flynn, head of the United States secret service in New York, is reported to be arranging to resign from his position, so as to devote his ener gies to aiding the aldermanic commit tee which Is to investigate charges of ■ I grafting tn the police department.

NEVIN. The results of . yesterday’s primary election abundantly justified the fore casts' and predictions of The Atlanta Georgian. And The Georgian, by tile way, is the only newspaper in the state that ventured a detailed and specific pre | diction in the governorship race. On Tuesday, The Georgian said. I thro tgh its corps of state corrcspond | ents, that Slaton would carry not less I than 131 counties, that Alexander might get a dozen, and Hall half as many as Alexander. In setting forth that final forecast. The Georgian’s correspondents went the governor-to-be eleven counties bet ter than his own claim—he predicted for himself 120 counties. The Georgian said that Alexander and Hall together would get hardly half | the popular vote accorded Slaton. Sla ton seems to have run well over 50.000 ahead of his opponents combined. Going back to the beginning, The Georgian, some two weeks after the collapse of the Hudson boom, used this expression: “The governorship race seems to have developed into a run away for Slaton!" That sentence was quoted from one end of the state to the other, and by some of The Georgian's contemporaries was thought to be rather broad and confident. But it was true —-absolutely true. From the very day of the Hudson down fall. the race WAS a runaway for Sla ton. The Georgian had no other interest in the matter than to set forth intelli gently and fairly the honest' news of the gubernatorial campaign as it de veloped from time to time. As a newspaper. The Georgian was due that much to its constituency—the state of Georgia as a whole, and with out particular regard to factions or sec tions. in its endeavor to be fair to all and partial to none, The Georgian was sub jected by one of the candidates to a sweeping indictment of unfair play and lack of intent or desire to give all the candidates "a square deal!” By its conduct rather than in specific denial The Georgian pleaded "not guil ty” to that indictment—and the re turns of yesterday vindicate The Geor gian's plea sufficiently and with approx imate conclusiveness. The Georgian gave Mr. Alexander a great deal of space, when Mr. Alexan der seemed to deserve it from the standpoint of news. When he made his spectacular en trance into the gubernatorial contest. The Georgian spread the news of that from one end of Georgia to the other. Before that The Georgian Jaad ac corded Mr. Alexander a large measure Are Ever At War.

St. Louis, k'a bold bt uruggists of praise for certain fights he had made on the floor of the house for the pas sage of pending legislation in which he seemed sincerely and deeply interested. When he announced for governor he immediately became a Igilimate topic of comment and a source of news. The Georgian shirked nothing byway of honest news endeavor, so far as Mr. Alexander was concerned. It gave him, as it was giving Mr. Slaton and Mr. Hall, "a square deal!” Through its various sources of infor mation of an authentic and dependable sort. The Georgian saw, early in Mr. Alexander's fight, that his cause was hopeless and its finish definitely sure. The Georgian reflected, not unkindly, but truthfully, that state of things. It required its correspondents to send in. with careful attention to accuracy, unbiased reports of what likely would happen in their various communities on election day. Their answer was. "Not less than 131 counties for Slaton." The Georgian printed their opinions, assembled in one straightforward news story. Mr. Alexander promptly characterized that story as "bluster," and repeated his charge of unfairness and lack of a desire to give him a "square deal.” That sounded a little like whining to The Georgian, but The Georgian let it go—the only point now is that the re sults justify The Georgian's corre spondents, and show that they faith fully followed The Georgian's instruc tions to send in truthful reports, and that only. Mr. Hall received a "square deal" at The Georgian's hands —and never once did he complain that he wasn’t getting just that. He stood straight up. fought in the open, never "hollered" if the news seemed not to come his way—indeed, he never seemed to notice particularly that it wasn't coming his way—and to the last ditch he was the same brave "Old Joe” The Macon Telegraph h is loved to talk about. He ran second, and not third, too. in the final lap—thus, in away, reversing one of The Georgian's forecasts, for The Georgian had thought that Hall would run third, with practically no differ ence between Hall and Alexander in the finish. The successful candidates are happy today, of course. They are distributing their thanks profusely everywhere. it would seem to be up to The Geor gian to extend its thanks to those suc cessful ones for vindicating so nobly, so completely, and so thoughtfully The Georgian's forecasts and predictions.
