between the alderntanic graft invest!-
committee and Mayor Gaynor,

Tight 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
the old cuttlefish at this time.”
In refuting the mayor's charge that
he was connected with the aldermanic
grafting in newspaper stand privileges,
Alderman Curran produced a letter
from former Commissioner of Accounts
D Fosdick. 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 Aiderman Curran.
Not only Mayor Gaynor, but Police
Commissioner Waldo, defied the com
mittee of nine named to .nvestigate the
graft conditions existing In the police
department, and both rs the high city
officials intimated that if any informa
tion or aid was obtained from them it
would have to be under regular sub
pena enforcement of 'egal 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 ansvyer questions that
might be asked Hm, withdut offering

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
On Saturday. September 14. Repre
sentative (Jordon Lee. of the Seventh
district, will be renominated for con-
JAMLS B NXcv3>r
gress by his ad
miring constit
uents in conven
tion assembled at
Rome.
The sixty-third
congress will bt
Mr. Lee’s fifth,
and he looks good
for many more u
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, his
career has been rather remarkable. He
is quiet and moves in a more or less
mysterious way his wonders to per
form, but he seems 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 ot
that most compelling and propelling as
set. an ambitious, charming and alto
gether politically astute wife.
Mr. Lee admits, unhesitatingly, that
Mrs. 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 work tremen
dously to Georgia's benefit, for Loe is
for Georgia first, last arid all the time.
D>wn in Oconee county they are
calling attention to ’he 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 I factional warfare in dear old
Jawjaw, 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 Marshall 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, ves, indeed, chirrups a Rfown
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 —
ot 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 *o
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 GEORGIAN AND 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 promulgated 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
pi ide. Reluctantly, he became convinced
that his idol's feet were of day, 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.!
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, all
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.
Politicians 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 case of T. F. Hill, of Banks
county, and therein contemplate the
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 be 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 near-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 off. and nobody now
has unmitigated nerve to argue the
matter with him.
SCIENTIST SAYS SPELLING
BOOKS SHOULD BE BURNED
DUNDEE. SCOTLAND. Sept. 10.—
Sir James Donaldson, in his address to
the British Association for the Ad
vancement of Science, said all spelling
books should be burned.

“BIG GAME” ONLY
FOR BULL NOOSE
I
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 seated 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 fall, 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 representaives of both fac
tions'will meet at the Aragon, and un
less an honorable peace can be ar
ranged. there likely will he 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 local 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, and 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.
