You know the horrible condition of the streets, the sewers

have these conditions become

an improvement because condi
tions could not be worse. I am a

NOTICE TO
TRADE UNION MEMBERS
The circular letters being circulated among the union men of
Atlanta today by paid agents of the Ga. Ry. & Power Co. are filled
throughout with malicious lies as regards my attitude toward la
bor unions.
The authors of these letters are known, and I intend to prose
cute them and give them an opportunity to prove every assertion
that they make in their communication to the union men of At
lanta.
My attitude toward union labor has always been fnendlv. and
will continue to be so.
If the Ga Ry. & Power Co would spend the money that they
arc using trying to defeat me m giving the people of Atlanta bet
ter street car service, the said Ga Ry & Power Co would he a
M more valuable asset to the community. R C TURNER.

A Wild West show without u single

RING RULE IN ATLANTA
DOES IT EXIST? WELL, READ THIS
AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
In the 913 names published in all threse of the Atlanta papers, yesterday and today,
aside from out-of-town residents, repetitions, and voters who are going to support me, is
something for every voter to think about.
Now, Let’s Look Into Some of These
Ardent Supporters of Mr. Chambers
In Mr. Chambers' list of supporters there will be found more than 75 persons holding office under the
city government, ranging from election managers to mayor. Is it not something out of the ordinary
to see the masses of the people supporting one candidate and an army of officeholders actually allowing
.their names to be used publicly in support of the other?
Think It Over, Mr. Voter
Mr Chambers is chairman of the Sewer committee. His partner,
Mr. W k* Daley, is attorney for the Nichols Construction Company,
a firm which is doing a large part of the sewer and other construction
work in Atlanta Yet Mr. Chambers says th%t he and Mr. Daley have
no connection other than that they have offices together. Yet the
latest Roll Telephone Directory gives M 1931 as Daley & Chambers,
attorneys, Grant building Funny. isn't it?
Alderman -I. \\ Maddox, who is doing snh-cont ract work for the
i-iiy. which is clearly m violation of the city charter, is. I am lold. a'
cousin of Mr Chambers Think it over.
I have been assured bx a prominent member of the city council
that there Las not been a board member elected this year who was
not either nominated by Mr Chambers, or his nomination dictated by
him. and the "Ring' always does as he directs.
I’ lom the condition of the streets of this city torn up in every
direction it is conclusive proof that the ring members of the general
council give more attention Io petty offices than they do to the welfare
of the city
Mr. I liambers stated in a card last week that work on the new
crematory had begun, and would be completed the early part of 1913,
when in tact the work has not yet been started. The $50.(100 of cre
matory bonds were sold nearly three years ago. It is reported that
$12,987 50 of this money was spent for land Where is the land? Are
they to build a crematory on this land.’ Why did they buy it and
who from .’ The balance of the $.50,000 of bonds is laying idle, and on
which the city has paid annually $2,250.00 in interest and *1 .otiGOtv
into the sinking fund, or a total of $11,749.98 in three years, of the
<50.000 borrowed, and no’ a brick has been laid yet on a crematory.
Do the people of Atlanta intend to allow this kind of business to
continue ?
and Snitz Moore, as Schmuke. furnished
most of the comedy of the piece. The
latter, especially, as the German money
lender. plays excellent comedy, in a hu
morous manner which has no suggestion
of horseplay in fact, one of the con
gratulatory features of “The Rose Maid”
is the lack of any suggestion of coarse
or unseemly act or deed. The play wins
by its up-to-date equipment and aptly
taken roles; the women are charming,
and the men sing and act well the cos
tumes are fresh and pretty; the stage
settings are effective. There is no won
derful music in ’’The Rose Maid.” but it
Is all good and the best effect is gotten
out of the score by a capable company.
"The Rose Maid” may be seen at the
Atlanta for three more performances, to
night and tomorrow matinee and evening
CANNING FACTORY PROJECTED.
VALDOSTA, GA (Jet. 1. —A large
canning factory is to be erected at

Florida railroad between this city and
Jacksonville. Work on the plant will
begin on October 5. Sweet potatoes,
vegetables and cane syrup are to be

conditions of our streets
vote for Charles S. Robert
for Chief of Construction.
County Commissioner Tull Waters
Says:
‘•That there is something wrong in the asphalt contract for the
county; that Philadelphia pays only $13.00 per ton for asphalt, while
Fulton county is paying $38.00 per ton for the same asphalt."
It has been charged, and never denied, that Councilman Cham
bers and Alderman .1. \\ Maddox, together with some county com
k inissioners. took an extensive trip through the North last, summer,
ami that the Barber asphalt people paid al] the expenses of that. trip.
W ith the ring candidate elected it is but natural to presume that At
lanta will get the same dose that the county is getting. This is but the
natural result of Ring Rule.
I believe the City's money should be expended for the benefit of
all the people, and not in the interest of a few speculators.
A FAVORED FEW ARE GROWING RICH AT THE EXPENSE OF
THE MANY.
ixvery portion ot the city should be served alike, and not one
section be built up at the expense of the balance of the city.
Sewers and water mains should not be run through old fields and
woods to enhance in value some influential man’s vacant property,
while thickly populated streets are allowed to go unserved, thereby
dealing out death for want of sanitation. With these conditions
staring you in the face on every hand, can you conscientiously sup
port a man for Mayor who has dominated the city for the past two
years and is largely responsible for this state of affairs?
55 it h me as Mayor, you <“an look forward to that same. safe, sane,
common sense. progressive and economical administration as 1 gave
you on two former occasions when you honored me with this office.

JAMES G WOODWARD
Candidate for Mayor.
