HORSES; FED OATS
BALTIMORE. MD., Oct. 11.—Twen
ty-four freshmen of the Baltimore Col
lenge of Dental Surgery, their faces
painted black, their coats turned inside
out and their trousers rolled up well
above their knees, spent last night
locked in separate box stalls at Pim
lico. Not only did the freshies sleep
like horses, but they had been put
through the paces of race horses prior
to being locked up. Around the out
side of the track stood juniors on guard
with huge whips, so that in case any
of the human race horses became frac
tious they would be easily whipped
back into the races*, They were fed on
corn and oats.

James G. Woodward Wil! Be Nominated
For Mayor on Next Tuesday
Political Frame=Ups, Mud Slinging and Personal
Abuse Cannot Defeat the Will of the People
Mr. Woodward has the utmost reverence for God, the church, and things
religious, but he is earnestly of the belief that the good church-going people
of this community are not in sympathy with the movement, to inject politics
into religion, and allow the cause of Christ to be made into a vehicle for Mr.
Chambers to ride into office on, upon the heels of one of the mast outrageous
campaigns of mud slinging that has ever been witnessed in Atlanta.
He absolutely refuses to be drawn into a controversy where religion and
mud slinging politics go hand in hand. The issues of this campaign will,
and shall, be confined to the propositions that are of vital interest to Atlanta
and her people.
The People of Atlanta are more anxious to learn why At
lanta’s financial and business interests are in such a
chaotic condition.
On every hand there is plain evidence of “RING RULE” and INCOM
PETENCY. More attention is being given to building up cliques, filling pet
ty offices and looking after the interests of favorite contractors than is given
to attending to the legitimate business of the city. The natural result of such
a condition as this, if allowed to continue, is civic bankruptcy, corruption
and graft!
This is what faces Atlanta today and the thinking people
are alive to the situation and want relief.
Sewers, water mains and sidewalks have been placed in purely speculative
territory, for the benefit of the few at the expense of the many, while thickly
populated districts are left without sanitary service.. Dealing out death and
sickness. Streets have been torn up and left in impassable conditions, the
widening of West Mitchell street has been delayed for months, North Boule
vard has been neglected to such an extent that the people have appealed to
the courts.
Instances of this kind can be found in all parts of the city.
Chambers and “His Ring” are responsible for these conditions.
Mr. Woodward has promised the people of Atlanta that when he is Mayor
he is going to dig down to the bottom of the business affairs of this city
and report to the people what he finds. Mr. Chambers and “HIS RING”
know that he means what he says—this may throw some light on the pecu
liar actions of Mr. Chambers during the past few days.
MR. WOODWARD’S NOMINATION IS ASSURED.
And this committee urges his every friend to be sure and cast his vote for
Mr. Woodward without fail on next Tuesday and forever wipe Mr. Chambers,
“RING RULE” and his henchmen from the political map of Atlanta.
The People of Atlanta are aroused to their own interests,
and Mr. Woodward will be nominated Mayor on October
15 by the largest majority he has ever received at the
hands of the People of Atlanta.
