FORCES UNITETOI FIGHT TMMMY Battle Royal in Prospect When New York Democrats Get to Nominating. PTRU'USE. N Y., Oct. I.—When the delegates filed into the arena convention hall shortly before the Democratic convention went into .. cc ; on today the political barometer indicated that one of the bitterest po fights in the history of the Em- Bne state would be waged if Charles Francis Murphy, Tammany leader, at icmpted. by virtue of the majority of delegates which he controls, to whip the convention into accepting as noml nefS whomever he might choose. How ever. the fight did not materialize at the opening session, adjournment being vsken at 2:06 p. m. until 2 o’clock to morrow. \S the result of all night sessions the many antt-Tammany and progressive factions in the state had joined hands under t he leadership of Congressman William Sulzer for the purpose of knif ing the Tammany crowd and when they entered the convention hall they car ried chips on their shoulders and lianted their battle cry. “Down with Murphy, Dix and Tammany.” Murphy Men Busy. Murphy held conferences far into the night with his leaders and after only a few hours’ sleep had breakfast served in his room and sent hurry calls to his lieutenants. Just whom the Tammany chieftain will back for the governor ship was the big question of debate among the leaders and delegates out side the Tammany fold. On all sides in the progressive and anti-Tammany camps was heard "Mur phy lias abandoned Dix.” but just prior to the convention one of Murphy’s lieu tenants made this statement: “Murphy sticks to Dix.” Tammany braves, 1,500 strong, ar rived iast night. About 500 anti-Tam manyites from New York arrived last night, while the smaller cities in the state augmented the total with about 1,500 more. Donate Cotton To Aid Wilson MACON.

SEARCHINGSIDELIGHTS ' ON GEORGIA POLITICS With tomorrow’s election passes for ever in its legal aspect the present John M. Slaton-John N. Holder legis lature. JAMB-3 » NEVPT Today Slaton is president of the senate, de jure and de facto tomor row he will in governor-elect. If Govern o i Brown desired, after today, to cal' the legislature in extraordinary ses sion, he would cab the 1 e g i s I a t ur< efected tomorrow, and it would bi necessary, befor proceeding to business, that i' organize itself. The inc o m i n g legislature will be noticeable for the new faces and the new names it will bring to the public’s attention —and particularly will it be noticeable for the old familiar faces that will be miss ing. , First and foremost. Joe Hill Hall will not be there —and a legislature without Joe Hill Hall will be pretty much like champagne without sparkle. He is the dean of the house that dies today. Ad mittedly. he has been a fine influence on the floor and in the committee rooms. He has been a brake on much unde sirable legislation, and a safety valve that has more than once proved his right to be listed an extremely fortu nate circumstance incident to house proceedings. Joe Hill Hall had a trv at some thing higher, and didn't get it; but, after all, it is doubtful whether there could be any honor more enviable than to be or to have been the best beloved man in an entire legislature. John Holder, the sneaker, for ten years a seemingly necessary attach ment to each and every legislature, passes into the ranks of private citizens today. The house will seem mighty queer without Holder on the job some where. either as speaker or leader on the floor. Then. too. Hooner Alexander and "Old Man” Wilson and Byron Bower and Mack Johnson and Tippins of Ap pling and Rufe Baker and "Bill" Jones —these will not be members of the new house. John M. Slaton has been promoted to the governorship, and probably never again will be a member of the general assembly. Whether he will continue his annual barbecue is problematical—the incom ing legislature doubtless is hoping he will. He has been a member of the leg islature continuously since 1896. Hubert S. Wynkoop, elec trical engineer of New York city, has taken City Electri cian R. C. Turner’s advice as to wooden covering of wires, and writes Turner that after June, 1913, New York will prohibit wooden moulding in the city. Is this a qualifica tion for re-election? By JAMES B . NEVIN. Amid ail the melancholy of the not to-come-back. however, it is in a measure consoling to know that John T. Boifeuii et and Charlie Northen will be in their old jobs again. Legislatures may come and legisia- I tures may go. but these two go on for-J ever! Says The Athens Herald: Joe Brown announces that he sure will make the race for the United States senate against Hoke Smith. This is highly important—if true. So far. however, no newspape- man in At lanta has been able to hear the gov ernor "announce” any such thing as The Herald credits to him. although, of course it frequently happens one has to go away from home to get the real news. A lot of diplomatic quizzing of the executive has been indulged in by en terprising minions of the press around and about the capitol, but when the spirit moves him the governor can re solve himself into the finest side-step per ever! Maybe he is going to be a candidate against Senator Smith, and maybe he isn’t. That’s all the Atlanta reporters know. The Savannah News approaches the subject from another angle, and most likely from the right angle, at that, when it says: If Governor Brown has no idea of being a candidate for the United States senate, the frequent state ment of his political opponents that he is going to get into the race may finaly result in his doing so. Colonel Roosevelt’s “The Winning of the West” made him lots of friends out beyond the Mississiptii and it is largely a narrative of personal expe riences. at that. Maybe he will write “Bumping the Bumps Through Dixie,” by and by, and that may be another bell ringer. Any way, as he himself says, he is “having a fair to middling warm time’ as he goes along and, while he knows he is largely in “the enemy's coun try," still, in the main, he seems to realize that he is mighty welcome, even if he does accumulate a few electoral votes as he goes His is a most picturesque and engag ing personality, whatever else one may say or think of him, and everybody hopes his tour of the South about con cluded, will be by no means his last. To change the horrible conditions of our streets vote for Charles S. Robert for Chief of Construction.

(Advt.) - 1.-I Do not aliow yourselves to think that City Electrician R. C. Turner is a demagogue and radical, just because he is taking sides with the prop erty owners, tax payers and poor people to force the Oc topus to give a square deal. That is why the Georgia Railway and Electric Com pany is fighting him for re election. To the Public Notwithstanding the continued and unwar ranted attacks made by Mr. R. C. Turner against the properties I represent, in an effort to help his personal candidacy for City Electrician, 1 have thus far refrained from entering into any controversy with him. But such attacks can be carried so far that simple self respect demands that they and their authors be repudiated, and Mr. Turner’s have reached that point. The public fully appreciates the fact of his unfriendly and unfair attitude toward our prop erties. It is perfectly plain to everyone familiar with the facts that his prejudice against us is such that he instantly and violently fights any thing however fair and reasonable in which we may be directly or indirectly interested. Mr. Turner basis his candidacy not upon his competency or fitness for the office, but upon the claim that he, single handed and alone, secured the reduction in rates for light and power. Mr e Turner does not deserve nor is he entitled to the credit for this reduction. It was the re sult solely of an amicable agreement be tween the mayor and general council and the power company. These reductions were voluntarily and publicly assured by the power company to the railroad com mission months prior to any agitation on the subject. They were made possible through the development of Tallulah Falls and other plants of the company. The statements of Mr. Turner that circulars have been sent out by me or this company are absolutely false. 1 emphatically deny that any such documents have been circulated with my knowledge or consent. I have been called out of the city on business and will be away until after the election, and make the foregoing statement in the full confi dence that the people of this city, who have al ways manifested a disposition to treat us with fairness, will rebuke Mr. I urner’s method of campaign.
