TlHx ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWSAIONDAY, OCTOBER 7. 1912.
Can Chambers and His “Ring”
Override the Will of the People?
A striking coincidence, dear readers, is the call for the meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce for the night of October 8 to launch a movement to raise the city tax rate im
mediately on the heels of the indorsement, of Chambers for mayor by a number of tha
leaders of the Chamber.
Does it mean that with Chambers as mayor the tax rate will be increased without
any more ado?
Do certain big business men expect to get a lot more money spent on special im
provements?
Is the Chambers “ring” to have additional hundreds of thousands of dollars add
ed to the millions it squanders annually already?
This matter is vital. It is time for thinking citizens to think.
Absolutely true are the statements of Reuben R. Arnold, Wilmer L. Moore, Robert F
Maddox, R. J. Guinn and others, made at the meeting of Chambers' supporters yester
day. that Atlanta faces a crisis.
Ti l crisis is whether the- political ring foisted upon our city and county by
Aldine Chambers and his backers is to be more strongly entrenched by the election of
Chambers to the mayor’s office.
James G. Woodward declared when he announced for the office that he would oust
that “ring.”
That declaration “went home.”
It gave him a plurality of 600 votes in the first primary.
It caused that assemblage of Woodward opponents yesterday to oust S B Turman,
county commissioner and member of the “ring,” as chairman of the Chambers campaign
committee.
They gave no word of explanation or apology for “swapping horses in the middle
of the stream. Abraham Lincoln said this was the wewst of political mistakes.
But they were desperate. They simply elected Smith chairman without a mention
of Commissioner Turman.
But they can’t»becloud the issue.
They still have Chambers with his “ring" as the candidate before the people.
What a meeting that was yesterday!
There was lots of condemnation for Woodward, but such faint praise for Cham
bers.
But what could they say about Chambers?
He himself said, according to the newspaper reports:
“I feel that Ido not possess every attribute you wish. But I promise a progressive
administration and one that none of you will be ashamed of.”
James R. Gray, editor of The Atlanta Journal, which is fighting Woodward, is re
ported to have said at the same meeting that Chambers would have to get votes that
were not cast in the last primary to be nominated.
His statement was not only an admission that the men who vote for Woodward
would remain loyal but that Woodward would get a good per cent of the votes cast
for Brown and Johnston.
He would override the expressed wish of the people.
His paper condemns Woodward but does not praise Chambers.
How could it, when its vigorous attacks on Chambers during the charter fight last
summer are recalled?
What could it say for Mr. Chambers, anyway?
What can anyone say, except that jie wants the office and the salary?
Lest he be a man of putty to be pliable in the hands of special Interests, why are
they for him?
They shouted that it was a great mdral issue that faced the city; that it was the
same condition that Atlanta dealt with in 1908 and in 1910.
Aside from the slanderous attacks that were heaped on Woodward in 1908 and 1910,
the issue is not the same. Every sincere, intelligent man in Atlanta knows it.
Said the executive committee of the Men and Religion Forward Movement:
“Wednesday there was no fight at the polls in Atlanta between decency and indecency.
“And clamoring about past misdeeds of a man or men will not hide or drown the
question—is Atlanta to enthrone law or lawlessness?
“Sin and mistakes can and should be forgiven, where there is honest repentance.”
The Woodward campaign committee is going to put the real issues of this cam
paign squarely before the people.
It is going to show you how the Chambers “ring” was organized with all its sin
ister motives to control your millions of tax money.
It is going to give you the names of the leading members of that “ring” and how
they are benefiting from public office.
It is going to show you how more than half of the $3,000,000 of bond money vir
tually was squandered.
It is going to show you how $500,000 practically was wasted on three sewage dis
posal plants.
It is going to show you how the city faces the problem of building an entire new
system of sewerage at a cost of millions of dollars only two years after a bond issue
which was supposed to be sufficient to remedy the trouble.
It is going to show you how Chambers, chairman of the sewer committee of council, and
his “ring” have kept the people fooled about the real condition of our sewer system.
It is going to turn the limelight on Chambers’ career in council, revealing the tricks
and the combinations by which he climbed into sufficient prominence to butt into the pres
ent mayor's race.
The prominent men who are claiming to be supporting him with such sincerity now
did not want him in.
Can you. dear readers, think of a single thing he stands for?
Woodward got a plurality vote. That is a Democratic majority.
He has already won the election.
One very striking instance of the abominable workings of “the ring” occurred in
council yesterday, and was reported in this morning's Constitution.
The citizens of that ward are denouncing the manner in which the street work in
that ward is being done.
They asserted that H. H. Nichols, who represents the Southern Bithulithic Com
pany in Atlanta, had failed to carry out his contract. He could not even be found, and
Councilman Smith went so far as to say “IF WE HAVE NO LEGAL REDRESS THEN
LET S RAISE A ROUGH HOUSE.”
The people of Atlanta are aroused to their own interests, and Mr. Woodward will
be elected mayor on October 15th by the largest majority he has ever received at the
hands of the people of Atlanta.
