SIDELIGHTS ON THE
BIG SHOW AT MACON
BY JAMES f! NEVIN
MAI'ON, GA., Aug. 28. Roland Ellis
is the leal host of tiie Georgia state
Democratic convention today, albeit
Macon claims collectively the honor.
Roland was walloped seventeen ways
from Sunday in the solicitor’s race in
the Macon judicial circuit by Judge
John Ross the other day. but it has
serx ed to ruffle the Ellis < ■hestertleldian
exterior not at all.
Ellis meets them all in the lobby of
the Lanier, extends the glad hand, pro
duces courtesy cards to all the near
by clubs and soda water emporiums,
and for those few who metaion his Lite
catastrophe he has a smile Biat is child
like and bland.
Macon is genuinely glad to have the
state convention in its midst.
It has turned the keys of the city
which is the way all reporters put il,
cub or otherwise over to the deb gates,
and the game will be played with Ma
con taking sides with nobody in par
ticular.
Hatdy i'lm is the matinee hero of the
convention.
Not that he looks the part so much,
but that he has a reputation as politi
cal manager that is the envy of every
body. And the curious part of it all is
that, while everybody knows i'lm, few
ever have seen him.
It was noised around soon after I'lm
arrived that he was in town, and imme
diately the populace seized upon I'lm as
the big sight of the big show,
I'lm has not had greatness thrust
upon him, perhaps, but he certainly has
had its double-first cousin, pleasant no
toriety shoved his way in bunches.

"Boss" Cox. the czar of Gilmer coun
ty, is a convention celebrity.
He is pointed out to all people as the

In personal appearance, however, he
is one of the mildest and most peaceful

The first place all visitors, delegates
or innocent bystanders visit is Colonel
Charles R. Pendleton's office in Toe Ma
con Telegraph building on Cherry street.
Colonel Pendleton enjoys the pro
found respect of all classes of delegates,
and is looked to generally for sound
and level-headed advice on all ques
tions that come up.

THREAT TO FIGHT
IMN'GIIEGOR
GREENSBORO. GA. Aug. 28. Major
Charles E. M< Gregor, of Warren coun
ty who was nominated in the primary
last WedneMlay for state senator from
the Nineieenth rltstriet, comprised of
Greene. Taliaferro and Warren coun
ties. is somewhat exorcised over a ru
mor that an effort w ill be made at .the
district convention, to be held at Craw -
fordville. on September 4.- to refuse to
ratify his nomination because he op
posed Thomas }V. Hardwick, of Wash
ington count' . for congress from the
Tenth district.
While the move is not gaining any
amount of favoit in this county, it is
possible that a fight will be made in
tin convention. In such a case, each
county has two votes, and Greene and
Taliaferro could control the nomina
tion.
Tlie delegates from Greene county to
the senatorial convention have not been
named by the county executive Com
mittee. Editor Jam<s <'. Williams, of

FALSE WITNESS BORNE
AGAINST TAFT BY T, R„
SAYS CHARLES D. HILLES
By CHARLES D. HILLES.
Chairman of the Republican National
Committee.
NEW YORK. Aug. 2S. —"Thou Shalt
not bea- fal=e witness against thy
neighbor." This is one of the Ten Com
mandments. The necessity for announc
ing this once well known fact grows
out of the obvious purpose of a cer
tain new political party so strenuously
to iterate and reiterate the eighth com
mandment. "Thou shalt not steal,” as
to obscure the fact that there are nine
others, and even to create the impres
sion that the bearing of false witness
is not a fault but a virtue when com
mitted by.Third Term party leaders.
But there are those who regard viola
tion of the ninth as even more culpa
ble than violation of the eighth, as is
exemplified by Shakespeare's reference
to the theft of a good name.
Foundation of New Party.
The Third Term party is founded on
violations of the ninth commandment,
and jts even partial success is wholly
dependent on the ability of its leaders
to gain believers to its “false witness."
Its promoters frotp the time of its con
ception have had as their entire stock
in trade the misrepresentation of Pres
ident Taft and his administration, and
have never hesitated to bear false wit
ness against him. Even the iteration
of the eighth commandment is made
apropos only by violation of the ninth.
The only occasion for shouting "Thou
shalt not steal" is the false testimony
< f the Third Termers regarding the set
tlement of the contests in the Republi
can convention.
The Third Term candidate and his
sycophantic satellites have never miss
ed an opportunity to bear false witness
against President Taft. They began
with misrepresenting his attitude to
ivard conservation. They have followed
it with misrepresentation of his atti
tude toward the tariff, toward railway
rate legislation, toward the trusts, to
ward the bosses, toward monetary leg
islation. toward Canadian reciprocity,
and, indeed, toward every public policy
with which President Taft has had to
deal.
Kellogg Quoted in Proof.
One of the latest and most striking
evidences of its misrepresentation is
afforded by the Third Term candidate's
reiterated declarations regarding Pres
ident Taft's prosecution of the trusts
under the Sherman law.
"We broke up the railroad combina
tion in the Northern Securities case,
and there is no parallel between it and
the Standard Oil case, and Mr. Wicker
sham knows it perfectly well," and
again, "The policy which received its
highest expression in the final action,
taken w ith Mr. Wickersham's approval,
in the tobacco and Standard Oil cases
.is one of make-believe strangling. It
is preposterous from every point of
view." Mr. Roosevelt has said, and yet
when he said that he knew that Frank
I B. Kellogg, his chief supporter on the
I Republican national committee, the
most competent lawyer in the Bull
Moose party today and the man whom
he selected to conduct the prosecution
of the Northern Securities Company,
had written, in The Review of Reviews
of June. 1912, of the Standard Oil de
cision, that' it "accomplished every thing
that it is possible to accomplish under
the Sherman act." and that "the decree
went further than any decision has ever
gone in any court under the Sherman
act."
T. R. Avoids After-Story.
Again. Mr. Roosevelt has repeatedly
pointed to the fact that after final de
cision in the Standard Oil ease the price
of its securities advanced—that is. the
securities of the various companies
which had been in the trust—and on
this fact has based his assertion that
the trust policy of the Taft administra
tion "benefits the big crooked business
concerns." But all the time Mr. Roose
velt has sedulously avoided any refer
ence to the fact that following his
breaking up of the Northern Securities
combination the Union Pacific sold the
Northern Pacific stocks it had been
compelled to take hack at a profit of
sfi3. uno. non. while the shares of the
Great Northern, which had also been
in the trust, also advanced rapidly in
value. When it comes to stealing the
good name of a former friend and a po-
litical opponent, the commandment,
"Thou shlat not steal,” evidently has
no force with the third term candidate.
Good and Bad Trusts.
Senator LaFollette. who is not a par.
tisan supporter of President Taft, told
the senate, on August 16, that "on the
day that Theodore Roosevelt was made
president of the United States there
were 149 trustsand combinations in the
United States. When he turned the
government over to William H. Taft
there were 10.020 great trusts and com
binations." Ajid he might truthfully
have added that during the administra
tion of President Taft not one great
trust' has been formed. When asked
which of the 10.000 trusts were "good
trusts," Mr. LaFollette replied:
"1 have no way to differentiate, be
cause none of the trusts are my friends.
If any of them were supporting my
propaganda, I suppose I would be hu
man enough to call them good trusts.’
I have no George W. Perkins and no
Munsey supporting me.”
Why were so many trusts organized
during the Roosevelt administration?
Read the answer in the immunity from
prosecution which President Roosevelt
granted to the "good trusts." owned in
a large part and operated in large part
by his ft iend, George W. Perkins.
The third term candidate is basing
his whole hope for success on his abili
ty to deceive the American people re
garding the facts. Can he get away
with it?
CARE OF THE TEETH
IMPORTANT TO HEALTH
Without perfect teeth one can nnt
enjoy perfect health. Decayed or im
perfect teeth are not only painful yjnd
continuously annoying, but a positive
menace to health and even life.
Do not neglect your teeth. Upon the
first sign of decay have them treated
and save suffering. Ot;. if the teeth are
already in bad condition, have them at
tended to at once.
The modern scientific painless meth
ods in use by the Atlanta Dental Par
lors rob dentistry of its former terrors,
and the most difficult operations are
performed quickly'and without pain.

It is an emulsion for external

prepare the system for the crisis, and
thus relieve, in great part, the suffer
