Shooting From Ambush
TO THE PEOPLE OF ATLANTA:
The men behind Aldine Chambers are known.
The names of the members of his Executive Committee
have been printed in the daily press.
The meanest enemy in the world to fight is the man who
shoots from ambush.
“Woodward’s Executive Committee"—who are they?
Is Charlie Jones the whole committee?
Mr. Woodward, let us know who are the men behind you.
From every ward in the city comes cheering reports of re-
newed interest for Mr. Chambers. Hundreds of men who failed
to vote in the first primary are now pledging their support to
Mr. Chambers.
We know some good men are supporting Mr. Woodward.
They are honest in their convictions, and have been misled into
this error. We cherish no ill feeling for any of them. Doubt
less there are many things they do not know.
Hundreds of men who supported Dr. George Brown and Mr.
Steve Johnston in the last primary are proffering their support
to Mr. Chambers. Pledges are coming fast.
The people have woke up.
We desire to thank the hundreds of friends of Mr. Cham-
bers who have volunteered their services in this campaign,
which makes victory on Tuesday next an absolute certainty.

“God is in Our Midst”
Neither Blue Laws
Nor Broken Hearts
Wanted in Atlanta
Mr. Woodward is in the hands of God.
His controversy is with his Maker.
The stake is the children.
The issue "Woodwardism."
Jesus said:
"Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of
such is the Kingdom of Heaven."
Many of these were in Grady Hospital last year.
Thirteen of them were little girls under ten years of age, who suf
fered from the disease that comes from the Houses, which were in our
Midst.
Mr. Woodward’s "unbendable will and determination’’ are bent upon
bringing back the Houses.
With their owners, he fights against those who would save our girls.
From one of the Houses last week a slip of a girl was taken home.
Her trunk was brought to our office.
In its tray was her doll.
Can you not see her, day after day, nursing and playing with it, sur
rounded by empty beer and wine bottles amidst the odor of stale cig
arette smoke in the tawdry finery of the House?
Thus she passed the too brief hours of daylight until night, and her
owner’s customers came for her.
Children and toys are in your home.
Laughing and playing the little ones went to school today.
Think then of the meaning of "Woodwardism," and pray God to
spare us!
For Mr. Woodward’s "unbendable will and determination" are set
upon assigning a district of our city for the unspeakable traffic under
police protection and with your consent.
And those who wish to live again in Atlanta on the shame of women
strive to fasten "Woodwardism" upon us.
They say:
"Men who are so foolish as to object to men selling and buying girls
will certainly stop the street cars from running on Sunday if Mr. Wood
ward is defeated."
They are mistaken.
"Blue Laws" shall not come.
But "Woodwardism" must go.
It could only disgrace our city and break the hearts of more of our
people.
Atlanta will have her children happy, not broken hearted.
It is truly a city "set upon a hill.”
And only light and love, joy and laughter should radiate from her
bounds.
Ruining girls is not necessary for this.
Mr. Woodward does not believe so.
Yet the Houses must have inmates.
These must be fallen women.
To get them, girls must be betrayed.
Mr. Woodward has not thought.
Otherwise, his "unbendable will and determination" would be bent
upon upholding Chief Beavers, instead of upon destroying him for put
ting an end to these places.
Mr. Woodward has forgotten that the traps which supply the
Houses are set most often for the girls who labor.
Their bitter need is too well known to the hunters.
Their purity in the struggle for life is miraculous.
But now "Woodwardism" stands for their ruin.
Mr. Woodward does not intend this.
He has not considered.
There is more in the world than dollars, liquor, public office and
hatred.
Mr. Woodward knows this.
He, like other men, at times, feels the touch of God.
His sixty eight years tell the story of passing days and coming
night.
While there is "light" God grant that Mr. Woodward himself, and not
others, put an end to "Woodwardism."
Mr. Woodward is fighting against God.
Thousands are praying, and will pray.
His ultimate and lasting defeat is inevitable.
For God will make an end of "Woodwardism" in Atlanta.

THE MEN AND RELIGION FORWARD MOVEMENT.
