Georgia Poultry Association Sets Its Dates EARLIER SHOW THIS YEAR The poultry show situation in Atlan ta is complicated—and unfortunate. Out of an unnecessary and illogical situation last year there came two poultry shows—more than Atlanta needed and more than was for the good of the poultry industry in the city and in the state Half-hearted efforts are being made now to smooth out this situation. If they are sincere, they may be success ful. But come what may. the Georgia Poultry association will hold its show October 27 to November 2. in the At lanta Auditorium-Armory. Here is what has been done already toward giving this show: Officers of the association have been elected. Dates have been set. The Auditorium has been definitely contracted for. Judges have been engaged. Coops for 3.000 birds are owned by the association. Printed notices have been issued and sent broadcast over the country. The show has been virtually under written. Nothing can head it now. And on Oc tober 27 to November 2 the Georgia Poultry association, the original show organization of Atlanta, will give its ninth annual show. The G. P. A. Means Business, The Georgia Poultry association is no fly-by-night concern. It has been giv ing shows in Atlanta for nine years. It has financed shows in Atlanta when the thing seemed hopeless and when it was necessary for the promoters to dig down in their pockets after each show to pay the losses. But the losses have been paid The Georgia Poultry asso ciation does not owe a debt in the world. It gave Atlanta its first big show two years ago. It gave another corking good one last year. It will give a still bet let one this fall. The Georgia Poultry association is no small organization. It numbers stock holders all over the state, it has jus its officers H. G. Hastings, president; Ewell Gay, first vice president; Julian McC’amy. second vice president: Dr. R. B. Callahan, third vice president; E. E. Mack, fourth vice president; C. A. Dobbs, fifth vice president; M. F. Mor ris, treasurer; C. O. Harwell, secretary. A more representative body of poultry enthusiasts it would be difficult to find in the state. These men know the poultry indus try and understand the giving of shows Secretary Harwell has been in the poul- TILE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10. 1912. try show business as a side line for nine years. He is known all over the South as an expert, and th'e shows that have been given under-his management have all been successful. Secretary Harwell attended the re cent meeting of the American Poultry association in Nashville and solicited entries there from breeders of fine birds all over America. He met with grati fying success and expects to have here during the week of October 27-Novem ber 2 some of the finest show birds in all America. He has been promised entries from the South and from other sections as well, and will be able to give a show that will be virtually na tional in scope. Will Be the 'Quality Show." No effort ever has been made or ever will be made by this organization to attract entries of mediocre birds. It realizes only too well that quality is what counts in a poultry show. Last year, in the face of competition, the Georgia Poultry association went out after the highest class of birds only. Every man who entered a bird was re quired to pay the regular entry fee. No special inducements were offered. It was desired to make a show that was representative; and the effort was a success. So was the show a success. It was hurt by bad weather and by the late ness of the dates. But it was a cork ing good exhibition of Southern poultry. There were no clap-trap side lines, no phony features, nothing but a good, straight poultry show, with birds of class on exhibition in every coop. On this same basis, that of giving a real poultry show, the coming exhibi tion will be run The Judges Are Experts. Three judges, known to poultrymen of all America, have been secured. They are F. .1. Marshall, W. U Pierce and F. H. Shellabarger. They are men of the highest standing and of the broadest experience. It would have been possi ble to sacrifice "quality judging" for "quantity judging" and to have secured more men. But three good judges are enough to handle any show which was ever given in the South, especially w hen they are accorded the expert as sistance that is given to every man who passes on the sow ls at a G. P. A. show . The prizes this year will be particu larly numerous and valuable. In addi tion to the regular cash prizes, there will be a multitude of special cash prizes and a big showing of cups and other valuable trophies. WILSON IN LINE FOR PORE FOOD Governor Also Attacks Tariff Again in Series of Speeches in New York. — ( NEW York, Sept. 10.—It was a busy day for Gove nor Woodrow Wil son. The Democratic presidential nom inee attended a pure food conference at the Colony club, the most exclusive women's organization in New Yoik, where he delivered a speech promising to make pure food a live campaign is sue; opened the Democratic tariff ex hibition at 19 Union square with a I speech on the tariff: delivered another J address on the same subject in the open air in Union square, conferred with a I number of national leaders at national headquarters upon his future speaking program, and delivered a long tariff ad dress before the New York Press club At the tariff exhibit Governor Wilson advanced the new thought that Ameri can manufacturers in demanding a high tariff baffler for their own protection are really taxing themselves. This puts United States industries at a disadvan tage in trying to compete in the world's markets abroad, he said. "We ate pampering our industries," said the presidential nominee, "and we are pampering them at the very time they should be getting free. American industry is now in a strait-jacket, and what we are fighting for in behalf of in dustry is freedom." It is mortifying, Governor Wilson said, that a‘tarlff exhibit should' be necessary. Such an object lesson, the spcakercfleclared, is like sending grow n ups to the kindergarten. The governor continued his attack by saying that the manufactui ers were really robbing themselves. He pointed out that a sew - ing machine may be purchased in Mex ico for sl*B that costs S3O here "How much greater," he cried, "would the market for these machines be if they were sold for $lB here as well as in Mexico.” In his Press club address the gov ernor assailed the Republican party, and remarked the impotency of‘the new P ogressive party. Spokesman for the People. The governor said, in part: "I have come here for the purpose of discussing just as candidly as possible the political* situation, and 1 hope that in doing so 1 shall do injustice to no one. I am not one of those who believe that the right tactics in politics is to depreciate the men you are opposed to and to belittle and misrepresent the forces with which you have to content. It ought to be a frank, straightforward and fair determi nation of what It Is we are to agree upon and do. and how wg are to do it in the great field of our common action. "My feeling about my own candidacy for the presidency is that if I can not be the people’s spokesman 1 don't want to feel, if I am elected to the office of pres ident, that I am speaking the purposes and impulses and judgment of the people of the United States. We are not. we are not politicians. We do not live our lives at the polls. We are interested in poli tics only as it is a means of adjusting the law to serve our life as it should be served. "I want to discuss the three parties now seeking your support I know there are more than three parties in the United States, and it is not out of any disre spect to the parties that have com manded only a small number of votes In the past that I leave them out of the reckoning for the present. Afraid of Man Who Doesn't Know. "Let us consider, first, the Republican party. There is a great deal of differ ence between the Republican party and certain groups of gentlemen who have been allowed to lead and direct the Re publican party The Republican party, as represented by these men, is the very party which has got us into the difficulties we are now trying to get out of "Mark you. 1 am not saying that the leaders of t'he party knew that they were doing us an evil or that they in tended to do us an evil. For my part, I am very much more afraid of the man who does a bad thing and does not know it Is bad than of the man who does a bad thing and knows it is bad, because I think that in public affairs stupidity is more dangerous than knavery; because harder to fight and dislodge. These gen tlemen. whatever may have been their in tentions. linked the government of the ■ United States with the men who control the big finances of the United States. They may have done it innocently, or they may hav? done it corruptly. The Men He's Interested In. "The men I am interested in are the men who never have their voices heard, who never get a line in the newspapers, who never get a moment on the plat form, who never have access to the ears of governors or of anybody who is re sponsible for the conduct of government, but who go silently and patiently to their work every day carrying the burden of the world. How are they to be under stood by the masters of finance If only the masters of finance are consulted? The masters of finance ought to be consulted, because they are a part of the people of the United States, but they ought to be consulted only in proportion as they are part of the people of the United States. "There is a large body of Republicans now In open rebellion And what inter ests me about them and draws me to them Is that they are In revolt because their consciences could not stand what was going on. That third party deserves your careful consideration when you are debating the question which party you are going to support. I would be ashamed of myself if 1 did not realize and admit lhat some of the sober ami finer forces of this country are now devoted to the promotion of this new movement and party. I have known the insurgenj Re publicans a long time “If this new party is pugferred on the fifth of November, will it be in a posi tion to clear the decks and carry out the policy which many noble gentlemen havo conceived that it was sincerely bent upon? Politics now at least is intensely prac tical and real We can not afford to vote on the sth of November and then wait another four years. The process of re form in this country must take place within the next four years. If the leader of the third party is made president, what will be his situation? Does anybody sup- I«W that he will have a th id pars <mi gross behind him? Is i< not inevitable that in such an event there will be in congress such a mixture of elements and groups ami coteries lhat the president can not possibly get any program what ever put through? ■ Queer Jumbles in Congress. "We have had samples of the confusion already. We already have a very queerly assorted senate of the United States. There are some Democrats, some Repub licans and some ex-Republicans, and it has been a gambler's chance whether they would get together on anything or not. It has been difficult to guess after a bill passed the house of representatives ex actly what was going to happen to .it when it got into the senate, and the roll call In the several votes has seldom showed the same list of names "Now. suppose you had a house of rep resentatives mixed like the present sen ate? I think we could all go fishing for the next two years! .Mid if at the same time you had a leader insistent upon cer tain policies. 1 think the air would be full of clamorous voices, but the statute book would be very qfnptj of fulfilled promises. "But the most certain impediment to progress I have not yet spoken of. The new’ party does not even propose to clear the decks and set the government free to act The central proposal of its actual program is to legalize monopoly. Instead of defea-ting. instead of reversing and remedying the evil things that have been don® under the mistaken leadership of the regular Republican leaders, it proposes that the results of their mistakes shall be legalized and iqade regular by being taken under the direct supervision of the gov ernment of the United States. Whatever may be the philanthropic purpose of cer tain parts of its propram. the inevitable result of that particular proposal will be to confirm by law the partnership be tween great trusts and the Federal gov ernment. I do not say that this Is what the leaders of the new party expect or propose, but merely that that Is what will happen, what must happen under such a plan. Only Democratic Party Left. "Then you have only the Democratic party left; and you will ask me how 1 can set up a claim for, the Democratic party. Well, in the first place, it is rath er a -fine discipline to have been on the outside for sixteen years. You have in trusted the government of the United States to the Democratic party because the Democratic party has been opposed all these years to the things that the Re publican leaders were doing Is not that a statement of mere fact? Haven't we been attacking them and opposing them all these years, and proposing programs that once looked radical and now- look reasonable? We haven't just begun being progressive We have been progressive for sixteen years, and we saw the year 1912 half a generation before it came. Are you going to give us no credit for vision? Do you not think it counts for something to stay out in the cold on a conviction for sixteen years? "The Democratic party is now, perhaps for the first time in a generation, united, solid and enthusiastic. And the Demo cratic party is the only organized force by which you can set yout; government free. I was bred in a football college; I know that what wins is teamwork; and I want to tell you that we have now* got a Democratic team, schooled in years of adversity, that can hold together against any team that can be put in the field, and as compared with which some teams re cently organized are only scrub teams."
