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. J R. SMITH. Chairman.

LONGWORTH WASHINGTON. Oct. 11.—Bink cards issued by a dyeing firm are circulated about this city, bearing this inscription. "Have cleaned mere than 1.500 gloves for Mrs. Alice Longworth at 5 cents a pair." Men and Religion Bulletin, Extra “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.
