Slaton’s overwhelming victory in the governor ship race, and the alleged non-partisan character of his support in the main, some of his friends today are in a measure disturbed by reports that have reached Atlanta to the effect that a deliberate attempt is being made to “pack" tire convention to meet in Ma con next Wednesday to Mr. Slaton's embarrassment. It is reported that delegations are being framed up in many counties of Georgia, known generally as "Hoke Smith" counties, whereby a platform may be promulgated in Macon which will include many of the so-called “Hoke Smith" policies, and particular ly as they seem opposed to the so called "Joe Brown policies" in Geor-- gia. The present county executive com mittees of Georgia are said to be gen erally more favorable to the Smith end of recent Georgia political endeavor than to the Brown end. They were or ganized immediately after Mr. Smith’s last victory for the governorship, and were composed, in their majority as pect, by the known friends of Smith. Plan to Denounce Brown. It is being specifically charged that a strenuous effort will be made to as semble a convention in Macon that will denounce openly Governor Brown's ; recent veto of the mileage "pulling” i bill, passed by the legislature, and dis- j approved by the executive. If that is done, it will embarrass Mr. • Slaton necessarily, as the governor was ; known to be Mr. Slaton’s avowed friend in his race, and when Mr. Slaton's cam paign was in its infancy and the Brown ' support gave it tremendous prestige. To run Slaton for governor on a platform i openly denouncing an act of the pres ent executive would be very distasteful to Mr. Slaton. As a matter of fact, Slaton !ik<!.- would refuse emphatical ly to stand for it. thus, if the conven tion insisted, putting the question squarely up to the people of Georgia. The present state executive commit tee is a Hoke Smith committee, and as , such will have an influencing voice in I shaping matters at Macon, particularly in the preliminary work. Chance For Plan to Succeed. If the state committee lends itself to the effort to embarrass Mr. Slaton, and any considerable number of county I committees also take a hand in the | matter, the effort may succeed. The convention is to be composed; ■ under the ruling of the committee, of! friends of a various gubernatorial can didates, according to the way the sev eral counties went. Under this ar rangement. Mr. Slaton should have a clear and undisputed control. But the election was very one-sided, and an ef fort to “pack" the convention might succeed, unless Slaton’s friends keep their eyes open and watch what is go ing on. The alleged effort to hit Brown over Slaton’s shoulders, because of Brown’s veto of the mileage bill, is the real I thing, so many of Slaton’s friends say today, that is in the wind, and to which the county committees quietly are be ing asked to lend themselves.

I , BAR ASSOCiATION I WUSTMI National Organization Is Split by Row Ovpr Assistant At torney General Lewis. MILWAUKEE, WIS., Aug. 26—The battle which has ben going on in the American Bar association for more than a year over the question of ousting Assistant Attorney General William H. Lewis, the Boston negro and former Harvard athlete. i- expected to come to a h. ad in the convention of the or ganization which opens here tomor iow. The objection to Lewis, which his friends declare is purely ra cial, threatens to split the association wide open and it is declared that At torney General Wickej sham is coming here prepared to champ'on his cause in a finish fight. The two delegates who are leading the opposition to Lewis are George Whitlock, of Baltimore, and Edward Earrar, of New Orleans. The opposition to Lewis developed soon after he became" a member, more than a year ago. He was proposed by the lo< al council of Boston, and soon afterwards was advised of his election. Several months later, after his name had been sent to the senate by Presi dent Taft for confirmation as assistant attorney general. Lewis was advised 1»> . the pxecutlve committee of the associa- • tion that he was viewed as "undesir- | able.” that it was not known when he l was elected that he was a negro. The i executive 'committee met in January I last and adopted a resolution expelling . i Lewis front membership. Attorney General Wickersham im j mediately made publication his belief that the action of the executive eotn ' mittee was indefensible, and declared j I his put pose to fight the question out at , | th* next session of the association. A | ramification of the Lewis incident will ■ be an endeavor to amend the const!- j tution of The association to exclude all ; negroes from membership.

LONDON, Aug 26. —‘'The treatment for cancer is easy for any doctor who is qualified to administer castor oil and to perform, a surgical operation." said Dr. Forbes Ross, lecturing at the Eus tace Miles Restaurant on “Cancer- Is the Problem Solved?” He argued that the disease was due to the deficiency of potassium salts in the body, owing to the popular, cus tom of pouring aw ay the juices of cook ed vegetables which contain potash and other valuable natural salts. "While lime, magnesium and sodium.” he said, “are to be found in practically every form of food, potassium was often absent, and the English fashion of cook ing results In people eating 'muck minus minerals ' "Fifty years ago 500 tvomen and 200 men per million died of cancer, and to day the figures are 1.000 and 800 re spectively.

Demand for college trained men throughout the South is greater than the supply by a tremendous ratio, de clared Dr. K. G. Matheson, president of Georgia Tech, before he left Atlanta for a brief visit to Culver, Ind., prepar atory to the opening of the regular ses sion of his school. The declaration was made when his attention was called to a statement made by Dr. Orison Swett Marden, of New York, before the Southern Cali fornia university that the entire pres ent-day system of college education is wrong andgjhat the colleges of today do not fit men for the battle of life. Dr. Marden said: "The average college graduate goes out in the world carrying under his arm his diploma as an insurance policy against failure. Instead of being fitted to tight a man’s battle’ in a man’s world, he is a weakling. Colleges year ly turn out graduates who are helpless citizens—men who, despite their edu cation, fit into sls a week niches for years before they are advanced- —in- stead of producing men who are fitted upon graduation to do real work and hold responsible positions." Scores of Appeals For Men. "This shows how manifestly unfair this statement is.” and Dr. Matheson turned to his desk and drew , out a drawer labeled "positions for gradu ates." A* score of letters were con tained in the package. "These are applications from business and industrial firms and institutions." said the Tech president, "asking me to send them men to fill positions of re sponsibility. These applications here were left after every graduate of Tech of this year had been provided with a place. I didn’t have enough men to fill this demand. "I take it that the same is true of practically every Southern school and largely true of the Northern institu tions. "The South is making tremendous progress from an industrial point of view, and these industries are looking for trained, college equipped leaders. The figures will prove that, despite the comparatively few men in this section who receive college educations, there are far more college men at the head of these industries than man who did. not receive college training. Leaders in Public Life. "The same is true of the leaders in public life also. 1 don’t necessarily mean the politicians, but a great per centage of the political leaders are col lege men. T.aw, medicine and all the kindred professions are being led bi graduates of institutions of higher edu . cation. "Now. I must say that the old system of education along purely classical lines has its drawbacks. When a young man has completed four years in high school and four years in college and goes out in the world he ought to be equipped with something more definite than is given him by the old system. I do not decry its value. “The foundation it gives is absolute ly necessary for success in any profes sion. The point I make, that while this foundation is being obtained the stu dent should be getting it with a defi nite alm. I am glad to see that this is being done in most of our Southern uni versities. "I believe that the time is coming when classical and technical education will march hand in hand. It is doing it 1 to a degree now. When this system is perfected there eat. he no harping on the uselessness of college education such as the statement of Dr. Marden." I ■■ - ■ DRUKENMILLER. THE ATLANTA TENOR.

With councilmen besieged for votes by candidates feu recorder, John S. Candler, acting mayor, today urged that council gn slow in naming a man to succeed Nash R. Broyles. "It is the most important office in the city government, with the exception of mayor," he said. "There is a class of helpless people over whom the recorder has almost ab solute power. There is a class of bad men and lawless men with influence whom the. recorder punish and hold in check. "We all know the story of Jean Val jean. There have been more pitiful cases of men and boys ruined by the courts in Georgia than that. Must Have Heart and Nerve. "The offic edema mis a man of judi cial mien, with a heart and with nerve. "From the viewpoint of the good of the city, I don’t think Recorder Broyles lias been promoted." Calling on rouncilmen by telephone and in person today for support were Eugene Thomas, a voting lawyer of the firm of Thomas & King; Thomas H. Goodwin, a lawyer who has hpon a can didate for mayor and for recorder, and W. IL Preston, who has been assistant recorder for eight years. Mr. Thomas claimed 18 of the 30 members of council had already pledged their support to him. James Dodgen has announced for the place. R. B. Ridley, justice of the peace; George John.son, police commis sioner and a candidate for the office of recorder against Nash Broyles, Malvern Hill, a lawyer and a candidate against Judge Broyles, are expected to form.illy announce for the place within the next few days. Primary Plan Blocked. An amendment to the city charter, granted at the last session of the legis lature gives council the authority to fill all um*xpir» j d terms of city offices. The recorder is regularly elected by the people. A movement to have the people ex press their preference at the city pri mary of October 2 was blocked by the parly adjournment of the city Demo cratic executive committee today. Hen ry Garrett, a member of the commit tee. had prepared a resolution to sub mit the matter to the people. But he arrived just after adjournment. On the motion of Charles Allen, the committee was adjourned a few minutes after it convened. October 2 was named as the date of the primary, and Chairman J. V. Smith named a sub-committee of ten, with T. ('. Pool as chairman, to • (induct the primary. It was conceded that J. O. Cochran would be named sec retary of the sub-committee, and he will, therefore, have active charge of the primary. Hinges on Judgeship Race. Judge Broyles was a candidate for the unexpired term in the court of ap peals of Judge Arthur Powell. The freat is now held by Judge Joseph Pottle, an appointee of Governor-elect Slaton. If Judgje Broyles has been nominated, he will take his seat immediately follow ing the general state election the first Wednesday in October, the date of the ■ity primary. All the plans to succeed him as city police court judge are, of course, con tingent on his nomination for the court of appeals. The indications now are that the convention will have to decide whether he or Judge Joseph Pottle is the successful candidate. Are Ever At War.

Eaaoi)naUQO ’SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS By JAMES B. NEVIN. A great many politicians in Georgia are taking the results of Wednesday’s primary to mean, among other things, that the state of Georgia Is pretty well satisfied with the measure of prohibi tion, real or imaginary, it now has, and that Immediate efforts, at least, to change the status of things is going to meet with failure. XX’hatever of rank dissatisfaction there may be with the present law and its enforcement would seem to have been well rounded up in the vote ac corded Mr. Alexander. Mr. Alexander made the prohibition question the paramount issue of his campaign. He based his entry into the fight against Mr. Slaton upon the gov ernor’s failure to sign the Tippins bill, after that bill had passed the house and the senate by a two-thirds vote of each house. The gentleman from DeKalb made the Issue plain from one end of Georgia to the other. He pictured whatever of the horrible there may be in Georgia’s present attitude with respect to the prohibition law. He said, with vehe mence. and it was heralded by the newspapers everywhere, that Georgia was "in a state of anarchy." If any man ever was qualified seem ingly to force the Issue of prohibition at this particular time, Hooper Alex ander certainly was that man. And yet, on the issue of "Georgia in a state of anarchy." because of the pro hibition law as it stands today, Mr. Alexander was able to carry but one lonesome county—and that by the nar rowest sort of margin. His popular vote was something like twenty per cent only of the total vote cast. The conclusion that Georgia is not in a state of anarchy seems, therefore, by many to be abundantly warranted. One of the most pronounced and ar dent prohibitionists In Georgia, dis cussing the question of prohibition -a few days before the primary, said: "Georgia is trying out a most inter esting experiment, and I. as a prohibi tionist and temperance man. would like to see it carried to its logical conclu sion. "XYe have abolished the old-fash ioned barroom, where all sorts of heavy drinks were sold, and substituted for it a bar in fl’hich only beer Is dispensed. “True, we know that real beer is sold in these places, and not ’near-beer,’ so called. But, as a rule, nothing but beer is sold there. "In one or two big cities the law Is flagrantly violated, and the old-time bars flourish with impunity—those cities never will obey any sort of pro hibition law, perhaps. Certainly not at this time. "But in Atlanta, the capital of the state, and in the other cities, the law is well observed. There is not a bar in this city that sells anything stronger than beer. “Gradually, I think, the public taste for drink in Georgia is being switched awdy from whisky to beer. “If that be true —and It will take time to demonstrate the truthfulness of the suggestion, to be sure—l think pro hibitionists and temperance advocates Making the Personal Call by Wire WE?

I saw, when I was a boy, barrooms every where. "The old cross-roads bar was a com mon sight then. There was hardly a fork in the country byways that was not decorated with a doggery. The farmers then knew what it was to be harassed by the liquor problem In a manner unknown nowadays. These ; country bars were almost devoid of po . lice protection, and they were breeders of all sorts of lawlessness. “The first step was to abolish the . cross-roads bar. This was done by the ’ enactment of law prohibiting, bars within certain distances of churches and school houses, unless located in in corporated towns. , “It was a great relief to get the bars ( confined to the towns, and removed from the rural sections. "Gradually, wo restricted the bars to the cities. We limited their number, we licensed them high, we regulated their hours. "Then we drove them from the small er towns and confined them to large 1 towns. “Then we closed all the old-time bars in the cities, and we are now weaning , the public away from its former taste for strong drink, and if we can induce it to confine itself to beer and light , wines for a number of years, logically we may hope eventually to get rid of the question entirely. , “Certainly we have made most ex , cellent progress. Certainly the experi ment we are now undergoing Is prom i ising. “I think the public will reject any violent changes in the present state of things that may be proposed in the near future." Mr. W. S. Gunsalus, a farmer living near Fleming, Pa., says he has used Chamberlain’s ■' olie, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy in his family for four teen years, and that he has found it to ■ be an excellent remedy, and takes pleasure in recommending it.
