WOODWARD AND
CHAMBERS LEAD
MMRAGE
Mrs. George Brown, Wife oft
Candidate, One of Most Ac
tive Campaign Workers.
Although the city primary is but ten
g a vs away. October 2, the race for the
mayoralty nomination Is as quiet as a
contest for office in a secret order. All
four of the candidates are very busy,
but they are "gumshoeing" around the
city in their searches for votes, rather
than employing the time-honored meth
od of appealing to “the people - ’ with
inspiring oratory.
It Is pretty clear today, however, that
the real contest is between James G
Woodward, former mayor, and Council
man Aldine Chambers. The hope of
the friends of both the other two can
didates, Steve R. Johnston and Dr.
George Brown, is that no candidate
will get a majority of the 'votes In the
first primary, and that their man will
be one of the two highest to run in a
second primary.
There is lots of real human interest
In the campaign methods of "Uncle
Jiru*’ Woodward, as he is known politi
cally. and Dr. George Brown.
"Uncle Jim" said today that he al
reeAy had personally seen a majority
of the registered voters of Atlanta and
that he would see them all before the
date of the primary. He said he did
not think he would hold a single public
■moating. He said he had the race tvon.
end he did not want any unnecessary
noise.
Mrs. Brown Aiding Hueband.
Probably the most active individual
In the campaign 1a Mrs. George Brown.
She tea pretty woman and a vivacious
talker, and Is making a canvas for her
hue'bartd.
t'Mnncflma.n Chambers Is running on a
platform of municipal improvements.
He announced that these can best be
obtained through co-operation between
the varfoua city departments and the
cetmcil and the county commission.
The principal plank in the platforms
of both Mr. Johnston and "Uncle Jim"
Is that a "ring" Is in control of city
atfklrs.
Dr. George Brown’s platform deala
particularly with the health and sanita-,
tlon of the city.
But the real issue in the campaign Is
the personal equation.
There are a number of rather splr-,
Itnri contests for council. Tn the Sev
enth ward A. R. Colcord is running
against Councilman J H. Andrews. In
the Third ward Councilman Carl Guess
Is opposed by Sam S. Shepard. Joseph
Nutting is running against Councilman
W. G. Humphrey tn the Eighth Ward.
Tn the Tenth ward J. T. Kimbrough, D.
■1 Lee and A, W. Calloway are candi
dates for the councilmanto seat now
held by D. J Baker
Hot Race for Electrician.-
For the eity ministerial offices there
We only two contests. The race for
ctty electrician between R C. Turner,
the incumbent, and Fred Mlles, former
ctty electrician, has heated up to a
point of bitterness
Thomas Evans, city warden, is op
posed by S. 8. txtSalle.
The date of the city primary Is also
the date of the state genera! election.
Besides the formal election of John M.
Slaton to the governorship and the
other state primary nominees, five con
stitutional amendments will be voted
on.
The amendments, requiring a ma
jority vote of the people to make them
laws, aret
To aboneh justice courts In all cities
of more than 20,000 population, with
the exception of Savannah, and estab-
Hah city courts in lieu thereof.
To create Bleckley county.
To increase the borrowing power of
the governor that he may better be able
to meet financial emergencies.
To require taxes to be paid on or be
fore September 1.
To permit the establishment of a
thorough system of common schools
throughout the state.

TELEPHONE BIG FACTOR
IN BUILDING OF TRUSTS,
SAYS GEO, W, PERKINS
Third Article Written for The Atlanta Georgian
By GEORGE W. PERKINS.
I RECENTLY saw a statement to the
effect that there were about 14,-
000,000,000 telephone calls made
in the United States during the past
twelve months.
If that means
anything, it cer
tainly means con
centration con .
centration of
most practical,
virile, far-reach
ing sort.
It means that 14.
000.000,000 mind;
were, for all prac
tlc a 1 purposes-,
emancipated from
the bodies tha;
they inhabited,
given wings and
allowed to fly
through the air to
some local or far
distant point to
I' '
hold intercourse with 1 4.000.000,000 oth
er minds, return to their bodies and then
perhaps the next minute go oft' in some
other direction and do business or have
social intercourse with still other
minds.
Telephone Responsible For Problems.
If we could see, with the naked eye,
the minds that are nowadays Hying
through the air in every conceivable
direction, we would perhaps be better
able to realize the perfectly stupendous
progressive strides made within a mere
handful of years in the matter of in
tercommunication between human be
ings.
The telephone, with all that it im
plies in the way of improved inter
communication. is far more responsible
for many of the problems of the pres
ent day which require solution than any
trust magnate.
Some of our Democratic friends are
saying that the trusts would not be in
existence were it not for the tariff.
We have had a tariff in this country
for more than a century, and yet who
ever heard of any trusts prior to a few
years ago? No; the most important
factor in bringing the “trust” into ex
istence has been the stupendous devel
opment in means of intercommunica
tion.
The first requisite for doing business
is to be able to get at a customer. The
more customers you can readily, in
stantly get at the more business you
can do.
Has brought New Relations.
The Twentieth Century Limited, the
telegraph and the telephone have anni
hilated space, have wiped out state
lines, commercially speaking; 'have
brought us all together within one in
closure, so to speak, and our problem
is to learn how to get along with each
other in this newer, more intimate re
lationship.
We can not destroy this tendency to
concentration unless we destroy the in
struments that have brought it about
If we are willing to get rid of steam
and electricity and go back to the ox
team method of inter-communication,
we can solve our present-day problems
very promptly; but if we are not willing
to do this, then we must face our prob
lems like 'twentieth century men, and
the greatest of these problems is io

learn how to minimize man’s power for
evil and maximize his power for good.
We have expert boards of health and
quarantine commissions in our differ
ent states and take health precautions
which never were taken 100 years ago.
Surti boards and commissions were not
necessary 100 years ago because of our
comparatively small and scattered pop
ulation in those days.
today, with our large and. in many
; cities, congested population, it is im
perative that such precautions be taken
in order to protect the entire commun
ity.
Regulation Everywhere.
If a man has smallpox in an Isolated
place in the Rocky mountains, scarcely
any one is affected except the man
himself, but if he get- smallpox wiiih
in a city of three or.fou: million people
there is at once danger of contagion
spreading to hundreds and thousands of
people.
Everywhere we go nowadays we feel
the necessity for regulation and control.
A man can be one kind of a “free agent”
in the Sahara desert, but he has got to
be quite a different kind of a "free
agent” in the city of London This new
order of things calls for a constructive
program based on an intelligent com
prehension of the newer conditions un
der which we live and the future which
we are facing.
Tile Republican and Democratic par
ties are both harping on the past ami
sneering at anything that resembles a
constructive program dealing with the
new order of things in which we tirfd
ourselves living.
The Progressive party, on the other
hand, is boldly facing the present and
is looking to the future. It offers a
constructive program that will help
solve our present problems and yet per
mit us to retain the telephone, the fast
train and the ocean greyhound, and
thus continue to lead the nations of the
world.
Reply to Wilson on Tammany.

various newspapers:
“September 14. 1912.
"Dear Sir—ln your issue of this

that Mr. Charles F. Murphy is one of

Italian Street Vender Has Pet
Names for All His Little
Feathered Pals.
Drive your motor to the Peachtree
curb before the governor's mansion
some day Just before noon. Observe
the pigeons, strutting and.cooing in the
mansion's eaves and circling around the
tall Masonic temple. Then watch the
peanut vender on the corner.
Pasquale Lambo takes from a sack
■ at tin' bottom of his wagon a quart or
two of peanuts and popcorn not fresh
enough for the Httle girl trade. Ht
raises his hand and calls something in
liquid Italian. Then there Is? a finite:
of wings from four corners of the street
and a cloud of purple feathers and
whit<4 as the birds hurry to their din

ment of the day.
For many months the peanut and
popcorn man has been feeding the pig
eons. Thel were wary at first, but
soon the bolder spirits among them
ventured within reach of their bene
factor and nothing dreadful happened.
Now they fly about his head, settle on
his wagon, climb all over him with
their pink feet as he stoops to pet some
favorite. They are not mere pigeons to
Pasquale: they are individuals and al)
his favorites have names of their own.
But Pasquale Lambo has a bit of
tragedy to relate when one wins his
confidence. He was feeding his pig
eons a few days ago when a passing
boy observed their tameness, returned
with a broomstick and killed three of
Pasquale’s pets with one blow The
an American, in school and
well dressed; Pasquale, an Italian, un
lettered, lagged. But he would have
cut off his hand rather than kill for
pure wantonness the birds which trust
ed him.
"It make-a me so (rid. It hurt-a me
so,” he said, simply. "Me. I would also
like-a to keel."
"Why didn’t you give the boy a beat
ing?” asked a sympathizer. Pasquale
shook his head. «
"Dey make-a me arrest," he said.
Dey believe-a da boy; dey no believe-a
me. Dey lock-a me up. My pigeons
dey fly away. No.”
And he scattered the last of his pea
nuts among his feathered friends and

Poacij congress in session here. Mrs.
Elmer Black, chairman of the propa

certain invincible forces working to
ward this end with little noise, but
with Irresistible power.
I slug conditions in America as an
example, she said in part:
I here are certain great natural
forces working in America toward the
final consummation of world peace.
I hese natural forces are developing the
processes of social and economic evo
lution, through which we are working
out our (tart in the world's destiny.
I'i'st among these I place the re
markable awakening of our peoj>le to
the general subject of conservation.
"We ate unquestionably alive to the
importance of conserving our material
and human res mrces. and this i- a con

i \V c are seeking riches and honor in
fields of commerce and science instead
of through military channels, and this
also is opposed to war.
"We have burned the great powht of
co-operation in busines- dealings be
tween individuals and this is opposed
to war between nations.

engines oi battle are most largely

PROFESSIONAL MEN’S
SOULS HARDEST TO
SAVE, MINISTER SAYS
CHICAGO, Sept. 23. —There was
much discussion here today of the ad
dress delivered before a congress of
50 evangelists in the Mpotjy church by
Rev. Melvin Trotter, of Grand Rapids.
Mich., who declared that the souls of
professional men are hardest to save.
"The professional man is too inter
ested in his business to go to church,
and too full of intellectual objections
w hen he getst here." said Trotter. "His
soul is hardest to save. It doesn't do
any good to argue questions of dogma
with him. You muSt get him inside the
mission and show him results.”
Tj-otter declared that the drug fiend
ranked next to the professional man
because of his untrustworthiness. The
scarlet woman, he said, was third.
"Women of that sort are so sure there
is no hope for them that they are hare'
to reach," he said. “Another obstaclf
between them and salvation is the fac'
that no one will give them hoqpst em
ploymenf."
