The governor will not commission Mr.
Prhe. however, notwithstanding the
certification to him of the Price vote

has met and canvassed the October •
vote.

HEALTHY LIVER
MAKES BEAUTY
Famous Ac ress Finds that a Healthy
Liver is Necessary to Good Looks
and Youthfulness.
One of the best known women of the
American stage is writing a series of
articles on the preservation of beauty.
She attaches great importance to keep
ing the liver active at all times, and she
is right. Neither good looks nor hap
piness will stay long with any man or
woman who lets the liver get lazy and
sluggish.
It is not always safe to take calomel,
the old liver remedy. Doctors agree
that it is a very uncertain drug. But
all Atlanta drug stores have a remedy
for sale that they' guarantee to take
the place of calomel absolutely, and
still be harmless, causing no restriction
of habii or diet. This remedy is Dod
son's Liver Tone.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is a
tasting vegetable liquid, but it starts
the liver gently and surely and'relieves
constipation and biliousness so prompt
ly that it has become a dependable
remedy in thousands of homes in the
United States. There are scores of fam.
ilies in this vicinity' who will not be
without it in the house and who would
not think of starting on a trip without
a bottle of it.
Atlanta druggists have sold so much
Dodson’s Liver Tone that they are con
vinced of its merit and will give any
person his 50 cents back who buys a
bottle and does not find that it takes
the place of calomel to perfection.
ToAtlanta’sTravelingMen
Tonight doubtless many of you are scheduled to
leave the city, but—
Atlanta needs you tomorrow.
Make your arrangements to leave on Tuesday
morning after you have gone to the polls and put in a
ballot for “Chambers and Atlanta.”
To you who are out of the city, but within reach
of Atlanta, we urgently request that you run into the
city long enough to cast your ballot.
We believe the men for whom you labor—the men
who have so much at stake in this city—the men who
believe in good government—will grant and expect of
you the exercise of this privilege.
And Mr. Chambers and this committee will appre
ciate this from you.

BEN BLACKBURN SAYS
STOP PAINTING ATLANTA
AS A MODERN SODOM
Atlanta, Ga.. Oct. 14, 1912.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
One could not have read with dis
criminating eye the arguments to the
voter in behalf of the two candidates
for mayor in Sunday’s papers without
being impressed with a marked differ
ence in controversial tone.
The committee representing Mr.
Woodward presented its argument in a
way to direct the attention of the voter
to his opponent’s reversal of position on
the sociological question, and to a sim
ple discussion of material needs.
The committee representing Mr.
Chambers presented its side of the
question in a vain attempt to brow
beat the voter into timid acceptance.
It is probable that there has never
been a campaign, waged tor municipal
or other office, in the history of the
country, wherein so many designs were
employed to becloud the thought, throt
tle the expression and intimidate the
decision of the voter.
And this, I may add, in deliberate
conservatism, is responsible for the pos
itive manifestation of a sentiment of
rebuke which will elect Mr. Woodward
on Tuesday.
The people of Atlanta will not have
notions of propriety beat into them by
harsh blows from men who have en
dangered standards of delicacy by their
own broad references to social evils
which should have never fallen under
the eyes of innocence and purity.
The occasional misstep of weak hu
man nature is not near so threatening
to that indefinable essence which is
drank in around the gentle fireside, as
is the salacious stuff that comes
through the publicity agencies of so
ciological bureaus, used as a stalking
horse for the gratification of political
ambition.
Mr. Chambers was right in his first
answer to the gentlemen who are in
teresting themselves with mistaken zeal
in the work of correction, when he con
tended that the suggested method of
regulation was wrong, and that "he did
not propose ever to be party to such a
procedure."
But he made a mistake when later, in
answer to insistent demands, he in
dorsed the proposed method of correc
tion by gentlemen whom he had so re
cently denounced as "fanatics.”
1 have not one word of criticism
against the man—cheerfully concede
his moral integrity—but his vascillating
course in this matter is not helped by
unnecessary' display of personal bitter
ness.
What the people wanted was a con
test of education on lines of Atlanta's
material needs. All other questions
should have been reserved for deliber
ate solution at the hands of the home
lover, at a time when personal political
ambitions were not involved in the set
tlement.
BIG WOOL CLIP IN TEXAS:
QUALITY IS MUCH BETTER
LANGTRY, TEX., Oct 14—The fall
wool clip is now coming into the market
at different points in southwest Texas.
Sheep shearing began the latter part of
September, and will be finished in about
a week.
It is stated by sheep men that the fall
clip will be much larger and of better
quality than usual.
There will also be a large clip of mo
hair in this section.
HISTORICAL HOUSE BURNS.
NORTH ABINGTON. MASS., Oct. 14.
The Culver house, built in 1765. one of
New England’s historical landmarks,
was totally destroyed by fire early to
day. Lewis Hostetter, a fireman, fell
30 feet from a ladder and suffered prob
able fatal injuries.
As it is, Atlanta has been advertised
to the world as a modern Sodom,
whereas there is probably not a city' of
its size that was better regulated be
fore this discusison began.
Whatever may be said of the mis
takes of Mr. Woodward- —I am not his
apologist, and am not a member of his
committee—it is a fact that his cam
paign letters, so far as I have read, are
in striking contrast to those written by’
his opponent. So it is not Mr. Wood
ward or his committee that has flaunted
hurtful information about Atlanta to
the outside world. The responsibility
must rest upon them who have used
this questionable method of campaign
ing to encompass him in defeat.
The effort to make it appear other
wise but impresses the Biblical quota
tion: "Woe unto them that are wise in
their own eyes, and prudent in their
own conceit.”
The Pharisaical bearing of some of
them who are directing Mr. Chambers’
campaign, as exhibited in the unchar
itable criticism of those voters who do
not see the question as they present it.
is suggestive of an inspired story:
“Two men went up into the temple to
pray—the one a Pharisee and the other
a publican.
"The Pharisee prayed thus with him
self: ’God, I thank thee that I am not
as other men are, extortioners, unjust
and adulterers, or even as this pub
lican.’
"And the publican, standing afar off.
would not so much as lift up his eyes
unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,
and said: 'God. be merciful to me. a
sinner.’ ”
Christ adds: ”1 tell you this man—
the publican— -went down to his house
justified, rather than the other."
In all kindness, I commend this beau
tifully natural story to the intemperate
and uncharitable controversialist—and.
this:
"If you forgive not men their tres
passes. neither will your Fathei forgive
you.”
The people may well view, with just
alarm, the tendency of gome of our
ministers to use the church and the
pulpit in away calculated to embitter
those whose violence should be held in
gentle restraint.
It is an awful thought that good men
of the Gospel will allow themselves to
be so swayed by politico-religious seal
as to have not even a word of charity
to utter in behalf of a fellow man
scourged for no other reason than he
has exercised the constitutional right
of aspiring to public office.
But the people are holding the scales,
fair play still wells in the breasts of
men. and the voters of Atlanta will to
morrow put a bridle on the venomous
tongues and stay the pen of bitterness.
BENJAMIN M. BLACKBURN
(Advt.)
Mr. Woodward’s Victory Has Been
Won by Fair Play and
Business Issues
He has left personal abuse, mud-slinging and
misrepresentation to his opponent. And the peo
ple have rendered a just verdict in favor of Mr.
Woodward and a business administration.
Mr. Woodward’s plurality of nearly six hundred votes in the recent
primary, was not without a reason, he is undoubtedly the choice of the peo
ple, and their will should be respected.
Had Mr. Chambers received this overwhelming plurality, Mr. Wood
ward would have withdrawn, and the people of Atlanta would have been
spared the disgusting spectacle which has been forced upon them through
the press during the past two weeks.
BUT RING RULE DIES HARD.
It recognizes no will but its own, and dies fighting for its prey, regard
less of the consequences, but RING RULE is dead.
The people are opposed to a second primary
law and voted against it last fall, defeating it by
more than one thousand majority.
Mr. Chambers and “HIS RING” are well aware of this fact, and
know further that it was the duty of the City Council to take this matter
up and have the Legislature repeal this law, but the will of the people
was defeated, and Mr. Chambers was a member of the committee whose
duty it was to do this.
This allowed Mr. Chambers the second opportunity of presenting him
self as a candidate for Mayor, against the regular nominee. And no one
is more aware of these facts than Mr. Chambers.
Where is all the money coming from to try and
defeat Mr. Woodward and elect Mr. Chambers?
More than five thousand dollars has been spent
in the newspapers within the last two days. There
must be something wrong.
Since Mr. Woodward first announced his intention of investigating the
affairs of the city when he takes office, and reporting what he finds to
the people, there has been a relentless war waged upon him that has no
parallel in the political history of Atlanta. He has been vilified to a most
disgusting degree, and the end is not yet.
Every voter in Atlanta is warned that in the last
moments of this campaign, when it is too late to
deny them, that the most villainous of their many
misrepresentations will be published.
Do not pay any attention to them, they have had plenty of time to
present every iota of their campaign abuse before this, and coming as it
will at this late day, is entitled to no consideration.
Mr. Woodward has conducted this campaign
along high lines. He has not attempted to ruin any
man’s character. He has dealt entirely with the
condition of the city’s business.
He has shown you beyond the shadow of a doubt that the tax and bond
money has been wasted through “RING RULE” and INCOMPETEN
CY. The condition of the streets, sewers, school houses, and other public
improvements are silent but convincing evidence that what he says is true.
Your own newspaper, no matter which one you read, has been telling you
this for months. Citizens have appealed to the courts, without obtaining
relief, mass meetings have been held, petitions have been circulated,'Mayor
Winn has even attempted to take the matter in his own hands, but the
“RING” is too firmly entrenched, nothing but the will of the people can
overthrow these conditions, and every vote cast for Mr. Woodward tomor
row is a blow for a better, saner, more businesslike and moral Atlanta.
Ring rule only leads to corruption and graft. Let
every loyal citizen pledge his vote and influence to
stamp out these conditions which menace Atlanta.
In order to injure Mr. Woodward, “THE RING” is spreading rumors
among the working people in the various shops that the polls will close to
morrow night at six o’clock. This is not true, as the polls will open at
seven o’clock in the morning and will not close till seven P. M.
Such campaigning as this is entirely beneath the dignity of a candi
date for Mayor, and should be condemned by every fair-minded man in At
lanta.
No matter what the weather may be, do not fail
to go to the polls and vote, this is our only means '
to reach our friends, as we have no boundless cam
paign fund to install a special telephone system.
We thank our thousands of friends who have so loyally stood by us, '
and have no word of condemnation for those who have conscientiously sup
ported the other candidates.
WOODWARD CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE.
