WOODWARD AND
CHAMBERS LEAD
MAYOMACE
Mrs. George Brown. Wife of
Candidate, One of Most Ac
tive Campaign Workers.
Although the city primary is but ten
jav.s away, October 2. the. race for the
mayora'ls nomination Is as quiet as a
contest for office in a secret order. All
four of tf> e candidates are very busy,
hut they are "gumshoeing” around the
city in searches for votes, rather
than ■ mploying the time-honored meth
od of appealing *to "the people” with
inspiring oratory.
jt it pretty clear today, however, thai
the real contest is between James G.
Wy “ward, former mayor, and Council
man Mdine Chambers The hope of
the friends of both the other two can
didat'.s. Steve R. Johnston and Dr.
George Brown, Is that no candidate
will get a majority of the votes in the
fl- i 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
ji n1 - Woodward, as he is known politi
cally and Dr. George Brown.
Uncle Jim" said today that he al
rr ,rjy had personally seen a majority
of the registered voters of Atlanta and
that he would se° them all before thf
date of. the primary. He said he did
not think he would hold a single public
meeting He said he had the race won
and he did not want any unnecessary
noise.

■n th- campaign is Mrs. George Brown.

I'nincilman Chambers is running on a
platform of municipal improvements.
H< announced that these can best be
nhi,lined through co-operation between
th* various city departments and the
relin, j| and the county commission.
The principal plank in the platforms
■J both Mr. Johnston and »Uncle Jim"
is that a "ring” is in control of city
affairs. ♦
Dr. George Brown's platform deals
t “ i_h ularly with the health and sanita
tion nf the city.
But the real issue, in the campaign is
" r personal equation.

TELtPHONE 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 I fiited States during the past
twelve months.
A. ?“,‘j I
If that means
anything, it cer
tainly means con
centration con .
centration of a
most practical,
virile, far-reach
ing sort.
It means that 14.-
000.000.000 minds
were, for all pra- -
11 ca I purposes,
emancipated from
the bodies that
they inhabited,
given wings ano
al low e d to fix
through the air to
some local or far
distant point to
hold intercourse with 14.000.000,000 oth
er minds, return to their bodiesand then
perhaps the next minute go off 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 thing
through the air in every conceivable
direction, wo 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
rrfbre customers you can readily, in
stantly get at the more business you
can do

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 tills tendency to
i concentration unless we destroy the in
struments that have brought it about.
if we are willing to get rid of steam
tnd electricity and go back to the ox
; team method of inter-communicatton,
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 boa-ds of health and
quarantine commissions in our differ
ent states and take health precautions
! which never were taken IfiO years ago.
Such 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 apd. 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 ho gets smallpox while
in a city of three or four 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 new’er conditions un
der which we live and the future which
we are facing.
The'Republican and Democratic par
ties are both harping on the past and
sneering at anything that resembles a
constructive program dealing with the
new order of things in which we find
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 uk 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.
P S.—Those that have seen Profes
sor Wilson's comment may be interest
ed in this reply, which 1 have sent to
various newspapers;
"September 14, 1912.
“Dear Sir—ln your issue of this
morning you quote Governor Wilson as
saying: ‘Mr. Perkins is one of those
gentlemen who do not know the differ
ence between the Tammany Society
and Tammany Hall. They are abso
lutely distinct organizations.'
“Governor Wilson is right. I do not
know firn difference, because there is
no material dlfferem e I know that Mr
Gustavus Myers, tn his book entitled
Italian Street Vender Has Pet
Names for All His Little
Feathered Pals.
Drive your motor to the Peachtree
curb before rhe governor’s, mansion
some day just before noon. Observe
the pigeons, strutting and cooinp 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 the bottom of his wagon a quart or
two of peanuts and popcorn not fresh
enough for the little girl trade. Ht
raises*his hand and caffs something in
liquid Italian. Then there is a fluttei
iof wings from four cornets of the street
and a cloud of purple feathers and
white as the birds hurry to their din
nxr. I' is Pasquale's one happiest mo
ment of the day.
For manv months the peanut and
i
popcorn man has been feeding the pig
eons,- They 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 all’
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
boy was an American, in school and
well dressed; Pasquale, an Italian, un
lettered, ragged. 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 sad 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. Pasquals
shook his head.
"Dey make-a me arrest," ha said.
"Dey believe-a da boy; dey no beiieve-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
turned back to his wagon
COURT WAITS WHILE
MINSTREL LEADER,
DEFENDANT, PARADES
Firts division of superior court waited
today on a parade of a minstrel troupe.
After waiting a year for Al G. Field
to put in appearance in Atlanta, attor
neys for the Shubert Theatrical Com
pany, who instituted suit against the
famous showman last fall for alleged
breach of contract, agreed to check the
trial so that Field, who opens at the
Atlanta tonignt, could parade.
The suit, which has been on superior
court • calendar for more than ten
months, was filed by the Shuberts when
Field took his attraction to the Atlanta
last year instead of the Grand. Judg
ment for $1,500 was demanded for
breach of contract. At the time Field
asserted that the contract was full of
misrepresentations. ,
'The History of Tammany Hall,’ says:
‘My research has Shown me the ab
surdity of the pretense that any vital
distinction exists between the Tam
many Society and the Tammany Hall
political organization,'
"I know that Mr. Charles F. Murphy
is the head of Tammany Hall. I know
that Mr. Charles F. Murphy is one of
the principal officers of the Tammany
Society. I know that the leaders of
Tammany Hall and Tammany Society
are largely the safiie. I know that when
Governor Wilson sent his congratula
tory letter to ihe Tammany Society on
the Fourth of July. 1912 (to w'hich let
ter I referred yesterday) he sent it to
and it was received by practically the
same leaders that he refused to. recog
nize at Syracuse day before yesterday.
"What 1 and other voters in New
York city have a right to know from
Governor Wilson is whether, in case he
were elected president of the United
States, he would recognize, and treat
with Mr. Murphy and his associates if
they cais to him as representing the
Society* of Tammany, but would refuse
to have anything at all to do with them
if they came to him as representing
Tammany Hall? Very truly yours.
■GEORGE W. PERKINS.”
DEMOCRATS fill
TO FILE LIST OF
ELEGTOOS
Every Other Party Has Made
Its Filing—Only Few Days
Time Remains.
Every political part? that will have
an electoral ticket in the Georgia field
in November has filed its list of elec
tors. with the exceptiorf of the Demo
cratic party.
JUst exactly w hose fault it is that
the Democratic electors have not yet
been filed as required by law Is not
clear, but unless they are filed at once
there is a chance that they may not be
legally filed at all.
The law prescribes that each elec
toral ticket must T>c sent to the gov
ernor by the proper authority, and by
the governor transmitted to the ordi
naries of the state not less than 30 days
before the election.
The national election takes place oh
November 5. and the governor must
have time to get the names properly
printed on the election blanks berttre
sending them out. .They can not. un
der the law. go out later than Octo
ber 5.
All Others Have Filed.
The Republican electors. Bull Moose
and regular, and the Socialists long
ago were filed with the governor. So
far, however, nobody has heard any
thing of the electors expected to sweep
the state —the W oodrow Wilson Demo
cratic electors. The Democratic elec
tors were named by the state conven
tion in May.
A Georgia congressman lias called
attenuon to the fact that a delay in
filing the Democratic electors might be
a very serious matter, in the event of
the presidential election being thrown
into the house of representatives, as
not a*few people think it may be. If
the point were made that Georgia's
electors were not legally filed, the state
might be disqualified.
The process of clothing electors with
proper authority to act is simple. The
electors must be [isted with the gov
ernor. the. governor must notify the or
dinaries, the ordinaries must notify the
various militia districts. The returns
are certified back to the governor
through the ordinaries and he declares
the result by proclamation.
Heretofore the electors have been
listed with the secretary of state, but
that is not the law. They must be list
ed with the governor.
Chairman William .1. Harris, of the
state executive committee, who would
be qualified to list the electors, is In
Maine gn his vacation.

ON KING-HIGH FLUSHES
