PRICE’S IMF ON
BALLOT TWICE AS
SAFEGUARD
Candidate Will Be on Tickets
for Both the Full and the
Unexpired Terms.
William J. Harris, chairman of the
state Democratic executive committee,
v-ill send out an official ballot for use in
the October election with th, name of
James D. Price on It as a candidate for
both the full and unexpired terms as
commissioner of agriculture.
Mr. Harris will do this as a measur ■
of protection to the Democratic party
in Georgia and to safeguard the office
against the possible ambition of Bull
Mooses or others.
The secretary of state. Philip (look,
is of the opinion that the next eornmis
sione- of agriculture takes his office
immediately following the October elec
tion He says the law authorizes the
governor to appoint, in the ease of a
v eaney, only until a successor to the
unexpired term can bo oiecicd and
q ua lifted.
He holds that such successor must be
elected and qua rifl'd in iciober, and
that whoever is then ducted will hold
office until the following' .lune, wh n a
net' and full term will berfin.
Conner's Opinion Differs.
I'nde M”. I 'ohk's interpretation of
the law. Commissioner Conner, Gov
ernor Brown's appoint;-? to the umx
plred i tin of Thmn.is G. Hudson, wll’
hold office only until his successor is
elected and qualified The seer -tary of
stall says such sued -.ssdr will be elect
ed in October, and that- the governor
n il! then be authorized to commission
him. He declares that he cart see the
> :lx v no ot! < r way.
Cmnmi:--i'-ner Conner, on the other
hand, holds that his appointment by
the governor will not expire until the
legislature meets in June and qualifies
his successor, and that, therefore, there
will be no unexpired term to fill in the
October election.
Chairman Harris, of the state com
mittee, feels that, however much law
yers may differ as to wh»n Commis
sioner Conner’s te-m does or does not
expire, the Democracy will be making a
great mistake to take chances on the
matter. He says that if it should trans
pire that the. secretary of state is right,
and that the governor will be author
ized to commission the man named in
the October election, then the Democ
racy should see to it that its choice—
which, logically, Mr. Harris conceives
Mr. Price to be —is protected by regu
larity in the manner of his election,
and that it will be best to vote for him.
both for the full and the unexpired
tertns.
The chairman, therefore, will have
Price’s name put upon both tickets.
Fear Bull Moose Might Slip In.
On the official blamks already sent
out by the department of state the
name of Price appears only as a candi
date for the full term, but there is a
blank space whereon his name may be
written by the election managers in
making the official returns.
If the Democratic party had no can
didate in the October election and the
Bull Mooses did, and the Bull Moose
candidate received any votes at all, the
governor would be compelled, so the
secretary of state thinks, to commission
such candidate for the unexpired term
—l. e , from the date of the certification
nf hts election to the secretary of state
and his commissioning by the governor,
until the following June, when a full
term unquestionably begins.
*'hairman Harris feels that, in any
event, his direction of things can work
no possible harm, and if the law is as
Secretary Cook conceived it to be, it
unquestionably will work much good
7 here is some difference of opinion
between lawyers as to exactly what the
law is, but the majority of them seem
to incline to Secretary Cook’s view
of it.

' When they distributed gold medals

*' way. That was Jack, the alarm dog.
1 Jack Is a fox terrier, the property
of C, R. McDerpiott, a life-saver known
! to swimmers as "Mack.” Mack and
, Jack are a team, Mack does the row
i ing and swimming and Jack does the
' looking and barking.
Not having eyes in the back of his
heed, Mr. McDermott can see only one
group of going-down-for-the-third
time. bathers. So while he looks one
, way Jack sits in the bow of the boat
and looks the other way. Whenever
’ a swimmer leaves the shore Jack
jumps up and down and whines. That
means “Somebody swimming off the
1 starboard bow. Better take a look."
Then, if the bather begins to gurgle,
swallow a gallon or two of unsterilized
1 water and try to shout for help, Jack
sets up a sharp staccato bark, which
! means “Girl overboard. Man the life
i boats.” And then Mack goes over and
: gets the victim.
Jack is some swimmer himself,
though he isn't a water dog by birth
or breeding. His favorite amusement
is going down the slide in a bather’s
arms, and when not on duty in the boat
, he capers around the chute and begs
piteously until somebody picks him up
' and takes him down the slide. Miss
Grace Beddingfield, one of the fair
1 swimmers at the park, usually obliges
him.

INSANE PRINCESS
Charlotte. Aged 72. Well Most
of Time- Estate Said To Be
Worth $12,500,000.
«
BRI'SSfiLS. Sept. 9.—After much
diplomats interviewing and negotiat
ing, the affairs of Princess Charlotte,
once empress of Mexico, are being set
tled by- the two nations of Austria and
Belgium. Princess Charlotte is the
widow of Archduke Ferdinand.
Princess Charlotte, who has been in
sane many years, lives in the Chateau
Deßouchot, near Brussels. She was the
sister of Leopold 11. After the death
of the king the Austrian court made
inquiries as to the administration of
her estate, with the fesult that an ar
rangement has been reached.
From the estate of Leopold I Prin
cess Charlotte received $2,900,000, but
owing to the condition of her health
she furnished no account as to the cost
of her maintenance, etc. The value of
her .state is now $12,500,000, anjl the
larger proportion of this amount is in
vested in England.
Princess Charlotte is 72 years of age,
and enjoys good health. The fits of
mental illness from which she has long
suffered are now rare.
The princess plays the piano fre
quently, but she can not be persuaded
to try a new composition and performs
only the pieces which she learned as a
girl. In the evening she plays cards
with one of her ladies in waiting, but
always in silence, and she is permitted
to win every game.
Princess Charlotte is careful to exact
the homage which she believes is still
due to her as empress of Mexico.
Throughout her weakness she has
never forgotten that she occupied a
throne.

U. 5. SPEED MARK
Vedrines Makes 104 Miles an
Hour in Contest for the
Bennett Cup.
CHICAGO, Clearing Aviation Field.
Sept. 9.—Flying at an average rate of
104' miles an hour and covering the
124.8 miles of the Gordon Bennett cup
race in 70 minutes 56.85 seconds, Jules
Vedrines today set new air records for
America. All American speed records
were shattered by the marvelous flight
of the Frenchman in his Deperdussln
monoplane.
Over the heads of a crowd that num
bered thousands, the French bird-man
sent his stub-winged, strong-bodied
racer. The exhaust of its 124-horse
power engines sounding in a continu
ous roar like a battery of overhead
Maxims, was lost in the cheering of
the air fans as the machine swept
around the Clearing course. The driv
ing of the race was daring in the ex
treme.
Keeping close to the ground and fly
ing perfectly straight away, except at
the turns, the Frenchman shaved the
course to the very last inch A strong
wind sprang up that made it difficult to
handle the craft As the breeze fresh
ened Vedrines crept closer and closer ,o
earth.
Flew at 100-Foot Altitude.
Most of the race was run at an alti
tude of not more than 100 feet and part
of the time it seennd as though the
daring aviator would strike the -teel
pylons marking the turns, so close did
he keep to earth.
After finishing th.> rave, when the
flag had indicated that, the distance
was completed. Vedrines swung once
mo'-e round the course, holding his te: - i
rifle pace for 31 laps.
The time of the entire distance—3l
laps—was 73 minutes 17.87 seconds.
When the Frenchman bad checked
the speed of his racer -nd brought it to
the ground in a graceful swoop the
crowd that had overrun the field in
spite of the p ecautions of the commit
tees in charge, made a rush for the ma
chine. Mechanicians and guards sur.
'rounded the -man and his monoplane
and the air racer was pushed into Its
hangar

Georgia Senator to Begin an
Active Campaign for Wilson
Last of This Month.
NEW YORK. Sept. 9.—Senator A. O.
Bacon, of Georgia, who was re-elected
to the I’nited States senate a fortnight
ago for the fourth time, will begin his
active campaign work in behalf of Wil
son and Marshall the last of September.
Senator Bacon has been through six
presidential fights, but he says he never
entered one with as much confidence as '
the one of 1912. 7'he senator is leaving
New York for an ocean voyage, and
toid Senate/- O'Gorman, of New York,
that he was going to take up the fight
for Wilson with all the enthusiasm nf a
first-time voter.
"It is going to be a downright pse»«-
ure.” said ’Senator Bacon. “The con
test this year is one of education, and
the people of this country are at last
awake to the real merits of Democracy.
"This third term movement is going
to fizzle out. It is nothing more or
less than a bridge by which the mem
bers of the Republican party will join
the Democratic pa/tv. There can only
be two great parties, and the Demo
cratic party can not die. It has stood
the buffetings and assaults of years.
' The men who believe in Democracy
have never failed, and today they are
about to reap the rewards of their long
and tireless efforts.
"I dm not sure but what Democracy
owes Roosevelt a vote of thanks. He
became dissatisfied with his own head
workers and has tried to destroy them.
In this he will fail, but he will drive
enough people out of the Republican
ranks and into the ranks of Democracy
to make the party of Jefferson the bul
wark of the country.”
