AIL EYES NOW ON
MONT, OLD
INDICATOR
Election Next Tuesday To Be
Watched With Great Interest.
Five Tickets in Field.
.
MONTPELIER. VT . Aug. 27.—Ver
mont will hold its state election on"
week from today, and all eyes will be
centered on the Green Mountain state
because the result here foreshadows
the result of the presidential election
In November.
As an indicator state Vermont has
not failed in more than a quarter of a
century.
Most Republican of all the Republi
can strongholds, she yet maintains a
danger line —a safety mark.
That danger mark or safety line is a
Republican gubernatorial majority of
22.000.
In 56 years —or ever since the birth of
the Republican party—Vermont has
never elected a Democratic governor.
More than that, Vermont has never
sent a Democrat to congress or to the
United States senate. The Democrats
have never won the state legislature.
They had no representatives in last
year's state senate.
And yet in presidential years when
ever the Republican candidate for gov
ernor has got by with less than a 22,000
majority the Republican national com
mittee has Immediately headed for the
tall timber, knowing full well that the
general election of November would
place a Democrat in the white house.
This has happened twice, in 1884,
when Sam Pingree won the governor
ship of Vermont by 21.850 in Septem
ber, and the country elected Grover
Cleveland In November, and eight years
later when Levi Fuller won the govern
orship by 17,958 and Cleveland took the
presidency two months afterward.
Then Cleveland Lost.
To strengthen the claim of the Green
Mountain state as the best little Indi
cator ever it may be pointed out that In
the big election year in between the
year 1888 William Pitt Dillingham
swept the state by 27.619 and Grover i
Cleveland lost the presidency to Gen- I
eral Harrison.
Now. then, taking this indicatorship
for granted, believing that figures never
lie. you may write ft in your little book
to begin with that President Taft’s
goose is cooked. For it Is as certain as
taxes that Allan Fletcher, of Caven
dish, Windsor county, the millionaire
picked out this year to receive the gov
ernorship on the golden platter of the
G. O. P, will not get 22,000 majority.
Certain because for the first time but
one In many, many years the G. O. P.
in Vermont is up against a real fight,
and there are five candidates in the
field for the governorship.
Republican—Allan M. Fletcher, of
Cavendish.
Democratic—Harlan B Howe, of St.
Johnsbury.
Progressive—The Rev. Frazer Metz
ger. of Randolph.
Prohibition—Clement M. Smith, of
Morrisville.
Socialist—Fred W. Suitor, of Barre.
Depends on Bull Moose.
To begin with—and before going into
the fact that Theodore Roosevelt. Gov
ernor Foss. Dudley Field Malone. Rep
resentative Phil Campbell, Miss Ad
dams, Eugene Chafin and many other
stars will be holding Vermonters spell
bound all this week—it might lie well
to produce here the figures of the off
year election of 1910:
Republican, John A. Mend, Rutland,
35,263: Democratic. Charles D Wat
son, St. Albans. 17.425; Prohibition, Ed
win R. Toole, Franklin. 1,044: Socialist.
Chester K. Ordway. Proctorsville, 1,055.
Governor Mead’s plurality in an off
year was 15,139. The Democratic can
didate. Mr. Watson, polled the largest
vote given to an out-and-out Democrat
since the late -Brad’’ Smalley made the
running, away back in the second
<'leveland term of 1892
Speaking broadly, the Democratic
candidate of two years ago cleaned up
about every Democratic vote there was
in Vermont at that time. To do as well
this year may mean that Harlan B
Howe, of St Johnsbury. as splendid
. and as inspiring a personality as one
may find in all New England, will come
out of the contest a leader.
It all depends upon the Bull Moose,
and the Bull Moose knows it. Some of
the Progressives are so sanguine as to
say that the contest for first place is
already between Howe and the Rev. Mr.

SOCIETY MERMAIDS’
SUITS AS COSTLY AS
BALL ROOM GOWNS
NEWPORT, Aug. 27. —The season's
wonderful record for the display of
striking gowns at the Casino, the golf
club and the homes where epoch-mak
ing entertainments have been given is
now being enhanced by the flamboyant
bathing costumes which the women of
society are wearing at Baileys Beach.
The garments for the surf are as
costly almost as those designed for the
ball room, and the wearers change their
bathing costumes almost as frequently
as they would for the tennis tourna
ment. But the riot of color is the
unique thing.
Mrs. Craig Biddle appeared on the
beach today in a silk bathing suit of
canary hue, with silk stockings and
satin slippers to match. A side sash of
the same color and a turban, completed
the costume.
Mrs. Robert Goelet, her sister, was a
mermaid in bright green. Countess
Szechenyi made a brilliant picture in a
suit all cerise. She brought it from
Hungary.
STOCKHOLDERS SUED
FOR $145,000.00 TO PAY
DEPOSITORS OF BANK
MACON. GA., Aug 27.—Sults aggre
gating $145,000 have been filed against
156 stockholders of the Exchange bank,
which failed In 1907 with a deficit of a
half-million dollars. The stockholders
are scattered all over Georgia and the
United States. Two of the largest stock
owners are Senator A. O. Bacon and
Representative Charles L. Bartlett.
The stockholders are sued by the re
ceivers for $29.60 per share, but are of
fered a compromise of S2O per share, if
paid before October 10. Many have al
ready agreed to avail themselves of this
privilege.
By this means every depositor will be
paid his claim in full, with interest. The
deposits alone amounted to more than
$1,200,000 at the time the bank failed.
The depositors have already been paid
90 per cent in dividends.

years old, was picked up in front of
her home at No. 79 Rivington street.
She had been playing on the fire es

the Olympic parade as one of the school
children.
Waving the flag to some of her
friends below, she lost her balance
and fell to the sidewalk.
A doctor examined the child, but
found her unhurt, except for a broken
arm.
A large crowd had collected about the
little one. When the doctor announced
the slight Injury, a great shout arose,
and the men rushed eagerly forward,
tore the American flag from her hand
and fought to kiss the colors. They all
declared that had she not held the ling

ATLANTA NEW YORK PARIS
An Early and Worthy Display of
The New Fall Hats
That this early showing of Fall Millinery should be the
positively authentic forecast of the styles that you will later
come to know well is due to the close connection of this store
with the Estelle Mershon Shop of New York. Miss Price,
who is at the head of the little shop in New York, has been
back from Paris long enough to crowd our cases with the
smart hats that Paris has approved for the fall. And, as usu
al, Atlanta gets its first glimpse of what is new in millinery
at Chamberlin-Johnson-Dußose Co.’s. No, we should not
have said glimpse; it is more than a glimpse where every crys
tal case of the department shows one model after model that
women are sure to exclaim over.
Indeed, there is much to be seen, from the viewpoint of
quantity as well as of novelty—the plush hats, the velvet hats,
the velour hats, the moire hats, in black and white, in
in moleskin: and, as for the shapes, the manner of trimming,
they are, as one of the saleswomen exclaimed rather enthusi
astically: "1 hey are so easy this season!’’ She meant that
YOU would like them.
The Postilion Shape seems to lead. This is of very long
line from front to back with rather low crown, either soft or
pressed, which, pulled down close over the head and tilted just
a bit, is charmingly smart. Another shape is a very large and
a very flat sailor that is often trimmed with nothing but a large
single rose or with what is called a “wet” ostrich plume—it
lies perfectly flat and uncurled along the brim. Then there
are new uses of large piquot ribbon bows and coques. But
this is only a telling of the means ami instruments that make
the hats so attractive—their real beauty lies in the effect as
you see it—and that is what we urge. Visit the millinery de
partment, no one will urge you to buy. but every one will
take great pleasure in showing you what every one there is
proud of—the new hats.

GIRL, 15, SUES TD
DIVORCE BDY, 1/
■
Romance of Elopement Wanes
When Young Husband Fails
to Keep Wooing Vows.
The pretty boy and girl romance of
Miss Ruth Glozier, fifteen, and Paul
Clay, seventeen, which saw its climax
in elopement and marriage eleven
months ago, had a sad anti-climax in
the superior court today. Young Mrs.
Clay filed suit for divorce, charging
her husband hadn’t kept, the promises
he made as an ardent wooer when they
lived across the street from each other
in Lampkin street. In fact, she had
found him to be so far from the ideal
she had, pictured that life with him
would be misery, indeed, and she asked
the court for relief.
According to the story of neighbors
today. Paul Clay had known the little
girl who lived just across the street
from him for two years. Not until last
May, however, did he fall a victim to
her attractions. He had seen her in the
neighborhood from time to time and
had been to her home frequently. Then
suddenly he made engagements with
her, took her to picture shows and
other places of amusement.
One day the girl asked her mother to
allow her to marry Paul, but mother
said “No.” The wooing kept on. Miss
Ruth went to mother again and Mrs.
Glozier offered her a new' dress, a gold
bracelet or anything she cared for if
she would forget the boy.
"But, mother, we have been married
two weeks now,” she was told. Two
weeks before the girl and boy had left
home shortly after dark, saying they
were going up town. They got a street
car at the corner—but it carried them
to Copenhill instead of to the city’s
center. There they were married. The
young people went to live with the
bride’s mother at 9 Corley street.
But the young husband does not stay
there now. A few' weeks after they
were married, so Mrs. Clay says in her
divorce petition, she found her husband
to be entirely Worthless. He would not
support her, and after she had gone to
work would take her money each Sat
urday night. So she ordered him from
the house.
Now he is staying with his mother at
24 Lampkin street, and she is earning
her own living by working in a candy
factory.
G. F, Cannon.
The funeral of G. F. Cannon, whs
died at his office in the freight depart
ment of the Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic railway last night, will be held
at the residence, 322 East Fair street,
tomorrow afternoon at 4 o’clock. In
terment will be in Oakland cemetery.
Mr. Cannon is survived by his wife and
two children, Mrs. E. L. Breggman and
Edward Cannon.
