Men and Religion Bulletin, Extra “The Churches in our Midst” GOD Rules In Atlanta The end of that which is known as “Woodwardism” in Atlanta is at hand. Without hypocrisy, Phariseeism or cant it will be killed. Mr. Chambers has addressed the following letter to the Evangelical Ministers’ Association, and its representative, this Executive Committee. I Gentlemen: , At the beginning of this campaig n 1 announced that I was in favor of enforcing the laws of this state, and thought that was a statement which could not be misunderstood. I had n? intention of injecting into the cam paign the moral question or social evil- In several communications the Executive Committee of the Men and Religion Forward Movement had punished, they placed me in a position where it was apparent to my mind that I was to receive no credit for my past endeavors to live an upright life- I resented these publications, and I replied as I thought was necessary for the preservation of my own self-re spect, in strong terms to their statement. I now repeat that no man living can dictate to me the manner in which I shall perform my duty as an offi cial of this city. I have not desired to make this matter an issue in this campaign; but y°u r dignified and considerate resolution, and the language and tone of your bulletin, which are manifestly friendly to me, bring the issue prominently forward in a form that my respect fob you and what you represent demands a direct answer from me. Since the issue is made, there is no middle ground. Nor would I oc cupy such if there were. I have never had any intention of doing otherwise than support Chief James L. Beavers in the discharge of his duty. Every impulse of my life leads that way. That any man should doubt it is regret ted by me. Without reference to the wisdom of his action, “yes,” I will sus tain him without fear or favor. I must say further that every legitimate business enterprise authorized by the laws of this state shall be protected. But criminals shall not have an opportunity to do business in this city. I have been charged with belonging to a ring in this city. Every think ing man knows that this is not true. The ring that is trying to get control of the city is a ring of gamblers and violators of the law, who are backing Mr. James G. Woodward in his race. This ring is headed by Chas. C. Jones, who has for years drawn his daily bread from illegal traffic in human virtue and human blood. For him 1 have no sympathy, and, so help me God, I shall see that this man does not reap any further benefit from the infa mous traffic in which he has been so long a dealer. He is entitled to to consideration and shall have none until he ceases to follow his nefarious pursuits. Men and women of Atlanta, I call upon you to rise In your power and drive from your community this man and his associates by such an over whelming vote that he can never again find a candidate with sufficient te merity to do his bidding and enter the race for Mayor. Respectfully, ALDINE CHAMBERS. Monday, more than seventy-five ministers and pastors of Atlanta passed, among others, the following resolution: “BE IT RESOLVED, That, as ministers and pastors we should not become involved in controversies between candidates for political office unless the gravest necessity in public morals should demand it.” That necessity has arisen. Neither the ministers nor this committee, nor the good people of Atlanta have any quarrel personally with Mr. Woodward, Mr. Charles C. Jones and other men who have been guilty of the same sins and mistakes. God and man can and will forgive them if there is honest repentance. But never again under police protection will women and girls be bought and sold in this city. Never again can Mr. Woodward be Mayor of Atlanta if men do their duty. Mr. Chambers has placed the issue fairly before the people. Without hypocrisy, men who believe that “Decency against Indecen cy,” which is “law against lawlessness,” to be the supreme issue, can support him. Without reservation as to those evils with which Mr. Woodward’s name is linked, Mr. Chambers has, with Chief Beavers, in obedience to his con science and the expressed wish of Atlanta’s churches, taken a stand which will bring upon him the most bitter, venomous, underhanded and open attacks from the most unscrupulous of criminals, those men who are willing to live either directly or indirectly by a traffic which can exist only by the ruin and betrayal of girls. The respectable men, who support Mr. Woodward will endeavor to prevent these attacks. But they will be unable to control criminals. And with the criminals in making the attacks will be the corrupt politicians for whom the Brothel has ever proved an “unbreakable bank.” This makes it the sacred duty of the churches in our Midst to support. Mr. Chambers not merely with prayers, but also with tireless and unend ing sacrifice and work. Tonight in the Churches prayers of thanksgiving will go up to God, who has given and will give us the victory. Amd they beg all good men regardless of creed, belief or lack of be lief to join with them in forever freeing Atlanta from this unspeakable shame. We do not charge Mr. Woodward with being a criminal. Nor do we say that all men who support him are criminals or black guards. Some men known to be sincere and respectable are supporting him. We believe them to be sadly mistaken. We appeal to them to stop and think. In view of Mr. Woodward’s past life and present attitude his elec tion now would be the greatest calamity that could befall our city Atlanta should and will put an end to that which is known as “Woodwardism.” THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE MEN AND RELIGION FORWARD MOVEMENT
