ASPECT
Chambers to Support Vice Cru
saders—Woodward Reiter
ates Segregation Pledge.
T • mayoralty contest was somewhat
•ified today, following the yielding
X candidate Aldine Chambers to the
up: sistent demand of the Men and Re
ligion Forward Movement that he
pledge himself to support Police Chief
Beavers in his fight to keep the
■houses in our midst” closed.
,\|:nion Jackson and other leaders of
the Men and Religion Forward Move
ment had strongly intimated that they
nmmi bring out an independent candi
date in the general election if neither
candidate declared himself for their
program.
In a written statement to the Evan- i
cehca' Ministers association and the'
.Men and Religion Forward Movement, I
,\lr. chambers said he resented some of
former Men and Religion adver
tisements because they gave him no
credit fo' past endeavors to live an'
upright life. Referring to the resolu- I
tlon adopted by the Evangelical Min- |
inters association, urging him to slip- |
port Chief Beavers, as “tjignified and j
considerate.” he said:
He Also Sees a Ring.
J have never had any intention of
doing otherwise than support Chief
Janies L Reavers in the discharge of
his duty. Every impulse of my life i
leads that way. That any man should I
doubt it is regretted-by me. Without!
reference to the wisdom of his action. I
•yes/ I will sustain him without fear ;
or favor.”
Declaring that every thinking man
knows that the charge that he is the
head of a “ring” is untrue, he charged ;
that the "ring” that is trying to get
control of the city is a “ring” of gam
blers and violators of the ’aw. who are
backing Mr. James G. Woodward in
his race.”
Ho charged that this ring is headed
by Charles C. Jones and that, if he is
elected, he will see "that this man does i
not reap any further benefit from the
Infamous traffic in which he has been
so long a dealer." He called on the
men and women of Atlanta to rise to
their power to defeat Woodward.

IN ANGRY MOOD AT
MICHIGAN LEADERS
•MACKINAW CITY, MICH., Oct. 9
Colonel Roosevelt was angry when he
arrived here todav on the windup of
his two days campaign in Michigan.
His anger was caused by his managers,
who had extended his itinerary through
the state so as to keep him speaking
twelve bouts, a day. When he started
from New York he understood he was
to make only three speeches each day.
He made seven yesterday, quitting at
9:30 o’clock last night at Bay City.
Today eight stops are on the schedule,
including Si. Ignace, Soo Junction,
Marquette and Hougnton.
'I want to save some energy for the
windup of the campaign In New York,’’
said the colonel. “We’ve got a mid
dling lively fight there.”
A large crowd and the same lively
’ spirit that 'as marked his progress
(through Michigan greeted the ex-pr«s»-

ing the crow d to drive out the bosses

8 K TO RUN
mSUGGESTED
Only Two Speakers at Cham
ber of Commerce Dinner Fa
vor Proposed Tax Raise.
If nine of the leading political and
business men of Atlanta were given
free rein with the city government at
the same time there would be eight
different systems of business manage
ment. That fact was demonstrated last
night at the Chamber of Commerce
dinner, held to discuss Atlanta’s finan
cial problem. Only two of the nine
speakers believed In raising the tax
rate 1 1-2 per cent. Each of the other
seven had a remedy indorsed by him
self alone.
Judge John S. Candler and Alex W.
Smith advocated the tax rate increase;
Eugene R. Black believes in greater
efficiency among city employees; Judge
i Hillyer believes in indiscriminating ap.
portionment of funds; F. A. Quillian
wants the tax rate increased, the as
sessments lowered, so as to stop pay
ing so much to the state; E. V. Car
ter advocated a special school tax;
General A. J. West wants commission
government, and V. K. Krtegshaber be
lieves In civil service examinations for
city employeeji.
It is doubtful if a more represent*-
j five body of men could be assembled
'than that at the dinner last night, and
| It Is cartain that a no wider diversity
of opinion could exist among the lead
ers of Atlanta as to the solution of
Atlanta's financial problem.
Judge Candler opened the argument
by detailing what Atlanta needs.
"What are you going to do about ttT’
he asked as he sat down. Some of the
things Atlanta urgently needs, he said,
are three fire stations, more police
men, Improvements for hospitala, more
schools and teachers, more sewers, bet
ter streets, bridges, cyclorama, audito
rium improvements and other things ha,
said he could barely mention.
Eugene R. Black, In answering Judge
Candler, advocated a bond issue whan
mare money is needed by the city, but
declared thxt the burden upon the peo
ple is as great as they can bear. “A
maximum income and minimum effi
ciency” was the way he characterized
the situation.
The other speakers sll advocated Im
mediate improvement In the Atlanta
streets, but each developed some new
need of the city, until at last it seemed
that Atlanta should be wiped out and
made al) over again. More than 300
citizens were present and all believed
that the meeting would mark a new
era in civic advancement. President
Wilmer L. Moore, of the Chamber of
Commerce, presided.
