GA, Aug. 23.—Congressman It’harles L Bartlett’s charge of irregu larities In the count of the ballots of I those counties of the Sixth district which gave J. W. Wise a plurality will very probably result in a recount of the 17,000 votes east in the whole district. The Bibb county executive committee today unanimously granted the request of J. W. Wise for a recount. Judge Bartlett himself concurred in the re quest. declaring that he did no? want the office if it was won unfairly or as the result of an inaccurate count. "However." he added, "I have written proof in my pocket of it regularities In several counties of the district that went against me.” Mr. Wise immediately declared that lie demanded a recount In Bibb county, not because of any feeling or discon tent, but because the glaring discrep ancies in the recount of the legislative race showed that the ballots had been Improperly handled. As for the other counties alluded to by Judge Bartlett, he said: "I will join with Judge Bartlett in obtaining a recount of the whole dis trict, so that there < an be no possible doubt as to the real winner and, fur thermore, I hereby offer to defray the expenses of the recount in the counties carried by me." The recount in Bibb county in the congressional race will be conducted by four members of the executive com mittee. Bartlett and Wise jointly named this committee. Oliver C. Hancock, who was defeated for the senate from the Twenty-second I district by 900 votes, has also demand ed a recount and his request will be acted upon this afternoon. The recount in the congressional race begins as soon as the recount in the I legislative race is finished, which will probably he early this afternoon.

O. Ijimpkin. a painter living at 33 Simpson street, awoke this morning at 3 o’clock he found himself a prisoner in a safoon at 105 Decatur street. A few minutes later Policeman Pearson passed by the saloon, heard a noise inside and flashed his pocket light through a ■ window, illuminating the form of a man inside. The officer, believing he had • aught a burglar, instantly covered him with his revolver, forced *him to “hands up,’’ and escorted him to the police sta tion. Lampkin later told Recorder Pro Tern Preston that he had tried to call the po lice station over the telephone from the saloon-prison, but failed to get the num ber. As there was no evidence to show’ that hp had attempted to rob the saloon, Judge Preston fined him $25.75 on the charges of being drunk and Idling and loitering A LETTER FROM ROBERT L. COONEY. To the Editor of The Georgian: The writer of the article in your pa per of yesterday makes the error of stating that Mr. George W. Perkins is largely interested in the New York Life Insurance Company. This company be ing a purely mutual one. Mr. Perkins severed all connection therewith when he severed his connection as vice pres ident. Mr. Perkins is my good friend, of many years standing. It happens that both of us are interested in Mr. Roosevelt's candidacy, because we be lieve in the man and what he stands for. In this way we have been brought together in this campaign, and not by reason of any former business relations. .My political views have no connection whatever with my business relations Yours truly, ROBT. L. COONEY. Atlanta Ga, Aug. 23, 1912. Why are some men more wealthy than you? Yon believe some men are too wealthy—and yon resent it. Now the main reason these men become so wealthy is because they take advantage of you and thousands , like you who do not save. When a man saves he is merely surround : ing himself with protection, and vests himself with independence. Isn’t that an ideal circumstance to be in? Don’t yon feel that you could do big thin gs under such conditions?

A decision in the fight to cotnpej the railroads in Georgia co "pull” mileage on trains, Which has been put squarely up to the railroad commissioners by the action of Governor Brown in veto ing the legislative act, is expected to be reached by next Thursday. Chairman Murphy Candler said that he did not see how the matter can be decided before then and that he prob ably will have to abandon his trip to Washington, where a conference of railroad commissioners of nearly every Southern state will be held in regard to rate classification No. 39. The Atlanta and Macon Railway Company’s boqd issue of $7,200,000 will be another matter of importance be fore the commission. Leaders in the Travelers Protective association, one of the most powerful organizations amopg traveling men, are unanimous in deploring Governor Brown s action, although practically all of them believe iti his sincerity in the matter. The traveling men tnrough their or ganizations, the Travelers Protective association, the Commercial Travelers association and the United Commercial Travelers, intend to wage the fight be fore the commission. They had left off effort in this direction when the bill met with such a favorable reception in the legislature.
