CITY POLITICS IN

Pleas for Higher Moral Tone.
Are Made in Near Every j
Church in Atlanta.

Into poi'tl ■■ p i ' :r“ yesterday and
tn p:a.'t:.a :• every church in the . ity j
-om? mention was made of tn- election ,
which wil] take plate tomorrow j
Rev. Charles AV Daniel, pastoi of the
First Baptist chuivn declared that one .
of the candidates had murdered eve'v
civic Issue ht dragging his nv. n per- i
tonality into the campaign and that
the interests of the city would stiff
while the one man was defending him
self and the oth> ■ denouncing H sa
that it was an indictment of criminal |
neglect on the part of the good nt n of ,
the city that such a man as one of the i
candidates could even think for a min
ute that he had a chance for such an
office as Wil! be filled by the election for '
mayor Tuesdav.
"It is criminal —the way the good (
men of this city allow politics to run
unchecked unless they have a personal >
financial Interest In a campaign." said 1
Mr. Daniel "The moral lesson taught 1
the younger generation by the apathy
of the business men of Atlanta will be

“City Needs Higher Moral Tone.”
Dr. S R Belk, pastor of
Street Methodist church, declared that
the city needed a higher moral tone and
for that reason needed a morally right- .
eons head He continued by saying
that no city not governed by men of
religious as well as financial responsi
bility could ever hope to attain promi
nence as a center of uplifting Influ
ences and that Atlanta needed ;i great
shock to watte it from its deadly in
ertia
Dr VT. P Lovejoy, presiding elder ot
the Atlanta district of the Methodist
church, also spoke at the Park Street
church His remarks on the mayors ty
election followed the same lines as
those of Dr. Belk's. He added that tin
safety of the city lay in greater vigi
lance of the voters In judging the moral
as well as the busmess side of the can
didate.
Rev. R. O. Flinn, pastor of the North
Vvenue Presbyterian chunT. det <•>.
that the moral character of any candi
date was greater than any tinancla or
business standing that candidate might
possess The character of the people,
he said depended upon the character of
those chosen as officials and with an
Immoral official the people uuld not
hope to have a moral government.
Calls Public Conscience Dead.
"The people of Atlanta set nt to hate '
con.-iiences tha' ait abso.uteiy dead.'
said Rev M Flinn. How they can ,
eyp ct to have t'.giiteous laws when
unrighteous men are in office Is mote
than any one can understand. It is not
a loca: question, for if local men. not fit
for office, are chosen as officials the ;
same unwise choice will prevail over
the election of national officers and will
cause the moral ruin of the nation”
Dr. John K White, at the Second
Baptist church, said that when the peo
ple elect a man to office thev must b.
come responsible for him H. de. a red
no one could subordinate the moral
issue in government and diseted:: it in
politics without positlve'y denying his
Christian citizenship He sad that tlie
world outsrie would judge Atlanta by
At anta s choice for mavor. and that
any retrogi. s«ion from the high stand
ard set four years ago would mii-l> At
lanta as a ow-tonod moral community
"The conflict Is between those who
want a city of easy going vice and cm I
ruption, a citv controlled by Its evil I
forces a city ghastly with vice a city
dominated by a ring of Immoralists
and those who want civic tighteous

have been stolen, along with the teeth
of fifteen other patients f shall have
to make you more teeth."

tirops, as he had the others, and to ex

NO MORE SYMPATHY GOES.
SAYS JUDGE FROM BENCH
DAVENPORT. IOWA. Oct. 14. "No
more sympathy stories go in ibis court."
said Judge Smith McPherson, in the
| I'nited States district court, when he
gave six alleged Muscatine bootleggers
the heaviest sentences he has ever Im
posed for like offenses here.
"V the las’ term of court J let a
man off easy because he brought eight
children into court with him. I found
I afterwards that six of the right were
borrowed from neighbors for the occa-
I Sion."
A PERSONAL WORD
Requested by the unanimous voice of hundreds of Atlanta’s
good citizens to assume the management of the campaign of Aldine
Chambers for mayor. I could not refuse.
Duty demanded my acceptance.
Chief among the first things I resolved was that the campaign
should not he one of bitterness, of vituperation, of mudslinging, so
far as it would be possible to prevent it.
I
I have endeavored to so conduct this campaign not only to
win success for Mr. Chambers, but in such away that no sting, no
bitterness would he left to distrub the feelings of any one.
hi this 1 trust that 1 have not failed.
Os course, there have been evidences of disappointment in the
1 I
camp of our opponents, because of this policy, but I have found ii im
possible to conduct the campaign to meet their approval.
I have not had, nor have I now. any more interest in this
I
campaign than the humblest citizen in this city. I shall ask nothing,
expecl nothing, receive nothing, from the administration more than
any other citizen.
We are all friends, and I take it we are all interested in one
causeMhe common good of this splendid city, and the uplift of
humanity.
I desire to return my sincere thanks for the loyal and cheerful
support of hundreds==\ves. thousands===of citizens in this campaign.
1 thank you for whai you have done, and I thank you in advance
for the loyal, untiring efforts you have pledged for tomorrow, the
fulfillment of which makes success an assured fact.
Most Respectfully,
I J. R. SMITH.
ADEL BANKER’S WIFE
SLAYS HER HUSBAND. !
THEN ENDS OWN LIFE
ADEL. GA.. Oct. 14.—This usually
quiei town was thrown into a state of
excitement when the bodies of M. v
Crosby and wife were found dead in their
bed rooii at their home here. .Mr. Crosby
had receix’ed a bullet in the eye and
Mrs. Crosby was shot through the tem
ple. Both were dressed in their night
clothes. Mr. Crosby was evidently killed
while asleep and never stirred after be
ing shot. His wife’s body was lying, on
the floor, with the pistol still grasped in
her band.
Neighbors heard ti e muffled report of
the gun about 11 o'clock at night, "but did
not think such a tragedy was being,
enacted.
D. P. I.uke. acting coroner, held an
inquest, the verdict of the jury being
that both came to their death by pistol
shots fired by Mrs. Crosby.
Mr. Crosby was raised In this com
munity and was cashier of the Bank
of ,Adel for a number of years. Mrs
Crosby was raised at Arlington. Ga.,
and was a Miss Colly before Her mar
riage. The affairs of the bank are in
good condition. The motive for the kill
ing is slirouded in my stery. there being no
plausible solution to offer for the terrible
act. other than despondency from ill
health.
Mr. Crosby's will was found in a bu
lean drawer. He left his property to
his wife and children.

From Mayor Winn
He says that during his two years’ serv
ice in the City Council under his adminis
tration Mr. Chambers has been progressive,
and at the same time safe and conservative
—a man of initiative, courage and ability,
who is fitted by worth, training and experi

HIS LETTER:
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 12th, 1912.
Hon. J. R. Smith,
Chairman Chambers Campaign
Committee,
City.
Dear Mr. Smith:
My attention has been called to the
fact that Mr. Woodward’s Campaign Com
mittee has published excerpts from pub
lished statements recently made by me, to
the effect that there wss a measure of merit
in some of the criticisms recently made by
Mr. Woodward with reference to the city
government.
Lest my meaning should be misunder
stood, I wish to say at the time of making
the statements accredited to me, and which
were reported substantially correct, I had
just returned to the City Hall from an ex
amination of the work in progress on
Peachtree Street, between Harris and Ba
ker Streets, where I had discovered that
the work had not progressed toward com
pletion to the extent I thought it should.
I was annoyed over this situation, and
when asked what I thought of certain state
ments accredited to Mr. Woodward, I used
substantially the language as published in
the newspapers.
This was not intended, however, as as
senting to, or approving all of the criti
cisms made by Mr. Woodward. On the
contrary, I wish to say that during the
past two years, the terms of the bond ordi
nance have been strictly complied with by
the bond commission and the general coun
cil, and the bond money has been honestly
and economically expended as the people of
the city directed when they voted the
bonds.
Contracts for its expenditure have al
ways been let, after the fullest advertise
ment and broadest publicity, to the lowest
possible bidder, and in many instances at
a considerable saving over the estimate on
the particular work under consideration.
No man connected with the City Gov
ernment was more insistent and careful in
seeing that the terms and conditions of the
bond ordinance were fully complied with
than was Mr. Chambers. He has been
Chairman of the Sewer Committee during
the past two years, said committee having
the supervision of work of constructing
sewers and building sewage disposal plants,
and is entitled to the commendation of the
people of this city for the care, close at
tention, business foresight and ability that
has characterized the discharge of his du
ties as Chairman of this most important
committee.
During his two years’ service in the
Citv Council under my administration, Mr.
Chambers has been progressive, and at the
same time safe and conservative —a man of
initiative, courage and ability, who is fitted
by worth, training and experience to make
a most capable Chief Executive of this
City.
