ANGRY ALDERMAN
WILL SUE GAYNOR
Snubbed, Curran Says He Will
Make New York Mayor An
swer for Libel.
NEW YORK. Sept. 10.—The conflict
between the aldermanic graft investi
gating committee and Mayor Gaynor,
which began yesterday when the may
or snubbed the committee chairman.
Aiderman Henry H. Curran. raged
right merrily today.
After announcing that he would sue
Mayor Gaynor for libel for linking his
name with newspaper stand graft, Cur
ran said:
"I will make no further comment on
th, old cuttlefish at this time.”
In refuting the mayor's charge that
he was connected with the aldermanic
grafting in newspaper stand privileges,
\lderman Curran produced a letter
from former Commissioner of Accounts
n. Eosdick. which said that “not by
the most strained interpretation” could
anything in the affidavits obtained
during his investigation of the news
stand graft be held to impugn the hon
esty of Alderman Curran.
Not only Mayor Gaynor, but Police
Commissioner Waldo, defied the com
mitter of nine named to investigate the
graft conditions existing in the police
dr partment, and both of the high city
officials intimated that if any informa
tion or aid was obtained from them it
would have to be under regular sub
penn enforcement of legal power of the
committee.
Mayor Gaynor let it be known that
if he made a voluntary visit to the
committee meeting this afternoon he
will merely answer questions that
might be ask,ed him, without offering
any information not expressly demand
ed. Police Commissioner Waldo de
clared he did not intend to send over
any records of the department until
they w< re demanded by subpena duces
tecum, in which the exact documents
and dates were specified.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
<>n Saturday, September 14. Repre
sentative Gordon Lee, of the Seventh
district, will be renominated for con
gress by his ad-
ilr
% :
jAMt-S B NSXtN
miring constit
uents in conven
tion assembled at
Rome.
The sixty-thiid
congress will b<
Mr. Lee's fifth
and he looks good
for many more tv
come, at that.
Gordon Lee is
one of the most
efficient represen
tatives Georgia
ever sent to con
gress. He is far
from the most
spectacular, but
in the matter of
getting results, hi«
caieer hits been rather remarkable. He
is quiet and moves in a more or less
mysterious way his wonders to per
form. but he derris to be a howling
success as a performer, nevertheless.
While it is an undisputed fact in the
Seventh that Gordon Lee may hold his
seat in Washington just so long as he
pleases, it is an open secret, neverthe
less, that, sooner or later, he would not
object to being governor.
There are wise ones all over the state
who have long been looking upon Gor
don Lee as most likely gubernatorial
timber, and thinking that eventually,
and at quite the proper time, he might
easily be hewn into shape.
Like John M. Slaton, Georgia's next
governor. Gordon Lee is possessed oi
that most compelling and propelling as
set. an ambitious, charming ami alto
gether politically astute wife.
Mi. Lee admits, unhesitatingly that
Mis. Lee is a far smarter and more
accurate judge of precisely what is
what politically than he. Much of his
great success he frankly credits to Mrs
Lee.
In the event of Woodrow Wilson's
election. Gordon Lee will be one of the
commanding figures in the next con
gress—*and that must wo:k tremen
dously to Georgia’s benefit, for Lee is
for Georgia first, last and all the time
Down in Oconee county they are
calling attention to the fact that
"Old Jim" Price is the guy that put
the "farm" in Farmington.
One of the merry phases of our nev
er-ending (although sometimes soft
pedaled! factional warfare in dear old
.lawjaw. is the care and erudite cir
cumspection with which the so-called
Smithites regularly call attention to
the shortcomings, real and imaginary,
of the so-called Brownites as the world
wags along, and vice versa.
In witness whereof, the following ex
hibit: «
John Marshal! .Slaton spent some
$12,000 having himself nominated for
the governorship. This, carefully ex
plains a Smith organ, “is more than
twice” the amount of Mr. Slaton's
scheduled! salary for two years in the
executive mansion—if Slaton can get
his own consent to live in that barn.
Ah, yes. indeed, chirrups a Brown
organ, Slaton did spend more than his
entire salary for two years as govern
or. but don’t you remember, gentle
reader, that Hoke spent nearly three—
o' was it four?—times his prospective
salary when he was first elected?
Neither side seems, in so far as some
of the organs are concerned, able to
resist the temptation to nag!
The public likely, will conclude that
both Slaton and Smith spent too much,
all things considered.
Still. it must be remembered that
Slaton will succeed Brown, who
succeeded Slaton, who succeeded

THE ATLANTA GEOKGIAN ANT) NEWS. TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 10. 1912.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
Smith, who succeeded Brown, who
succeeded Smith.
Georgians, particularly of the "Bull
Moose" persuasion, will be interested
in learning that the urbane and smooth
Mr.'Ormsby McHarg, erstwhile Roose
velt gum-shoe man at large in this
vicinity, has piomulgated an edict cut
ting himself loose from the Rough
Rider and his political organization.
Mr. McHarg carefully considered
things He found himself, in spite of
his former enthusiasm, growing cold
toward the colonel. He began, much
as he regretted it. to view with alarm
where once he was wont to point with
pt ide. Reluctantly, he became convinced
that his idol's feet were of clay, that
Roosevelt's pat hands always were
four-flushes and never full houses.
Wherefore, Mr. McHarg took serious
counsel- with himself the other day, and
flung up his Job as gum-shoe artist for
T. R.l
True, there are those who meanly in
sinuate that the colonel asked McHa.g
to quit, and to stand not particularly
on the order of his quitting, moreover—
but that may be a campaign short and
ugly.
And. whatever is what, anyway, it
seems sure that McHarg is a bird, al!
right!
Hon. Joe Hill Hall signed his
campaign expense account “Jos. H.
Hall." The gentleman's was not a
"josh" campaign, at that" how
ever.
Poljtit ians in Georgia who are con
tinually prattling of "rotation in of
fice"—a favorite warble of every “out"
who an "in" would be —should consid
er the sad ease of T. F. Hill, of Banks
county, and therein contemplate th<
anti-rotation idea run riot if not ab
solutely amuck!
T F. Hill has held office in grand
old Banks for 44 years, and the hold
ing still is good, so far as he can see.
Not that the gentleman hasn't ro
tated a little, too, for he has, but that
he never has rotated right out into the
cold exactly!
Away back yonder 44 years ago, Hill
took over the job of tax receiver of
Banks. This he held for four years,
then he progressed to the ordinary’s
office.
This Job he liked so well, that he
clung to it for a trifle of time repre
sented by 32 years. Then he took a
short neat-recess and became senator
from his district for two years. Then
he yanked back that ordinary's job—
and now he is completing his 44th year
of continuous office holding.
Os course, there may be records that
beat Hill's, but few people have knowl
edge of them.
Hill says he intends to hold on until
death calls it all oft, and nobody now
has unmitigated nerve to argue the
matter with him.

“BIG GIF” ONLY
FOR BULL MOOSE
Therefore There Won’t Be Any
Fight on Price—Big Row
Is in View.
There will be no "Bull Moose" can
didate against James D. Price for com
missioner of agriculture
Representatives of both factions in
the "Bull .Moose” party in Georgia
have stated most emphatically that
there never was any serious intent to
oppose Price, and that the so-called
movement in that direction originated
in a joke, pure and simple.
H. G. Hastings, chairman of the
state committee of one faction, said to
day: "I know nothing of any serious
movement to oppose Price. The 'Bull
Moose’ is after bigger game in Georgia
than the .commissionership of agricul
ture. There never was any movement
to put out a candidate for that job."
J. St. Julien Yates, leader of another
faction in the "Mooses,” said today:
"There is nothing to the yarn about
opposition to Price—there never was
anything to it. It's silly."
Chairman Harris, of the state Demo
cratic committee, is being generally ap
proved for his decision to enter Price
as a candidate for both the full and the
unexpired terms as commissioner of
agriculture.
Many Democrats feel that Harris is
pursuing an. eminently safe and sane
course along' that line.
The "Bull Moosers" are to have a big
powwow at the Aragon hotel tonight,
and, unless all signs fail, it is going to
be more or less exciting.
There are two factions in "Bull
Mooosedom" in Georgia, and each is
struggling for the mastery.
For weeks, efforts to get these fac
tions together have been under way
George W. Perkins. Senator Dixon and
Mr. Roosevelt himself have been ap
pealed to for help in patching things
up. but things haven't been patched.
Tonight represents Ives of both fac
tions will meet at the Aragon, and un
less an honorable peace can be ar
ranged. there likely will be interesting
developments to follow.

CITIES FACE FAMINE
OF MILK WHEN HEAT
DRIES UP PASTURES
St. LOUIS, 80., Sept. 10. —Every.city
in the United States faces a milk famine
that will occur within the next week
unless the hot wave passes, according
to loeal wholesale milk dealers. At
present St. Louis, Kansas City, Chicago,
all the towns through Missouri, Illinois
and lowa, and practically the entire
country, is receiving but one-half of the
amount of milk usually shipped by
farmers, ami it is feared that within a
week there will be no milk with which
to supply the trade?
St. Louis dairy firms are not making
butter at present and some of the com
panies are manufacturing their ice
cream, from condensed or sterilized
cream.
On the farms the heat has scorched
the grass so that the cows are left with
out proper food for the production of
milk.
