Efforts Are Centered on Pro

WOODWARD’S ATTITUDE
IS ANXIOUSLY AWAITED
His Election Commonly Be
lieved to Mean People Want
More Liberal Regulations.
lathers of the locker club reform
movement, encouraged by the success
they have already won, declared today
that they would center their efforts on
the establishment of a permanent dry
Sunday in Atlanta.
With the license of every club, in
cluding the powerful Capital City, held
up by the veto of Acting Mayor Candler
snd the subsequent action of council, a
andful of organizations seem certain
of losing their permits, but the real
fight will be waged about the question
nt a closed Sunday. Atlanta was dry
vesterday.
\lderman John S. Candler, who, as
icting mayor, vetoed the permits of all
ocher clubs on the grounds that all
u re illegal, has since declared that the.
■nost important point in the enforce
or’nt of the locker club law was to stop
he erving of drinks on Sunday. He
aid such a system made a club crimi
nal ns a tippling house.
Chambers’ Law
Goes to Committee.
■ ’ouncilman Aldine Chambers has had
referred to the police committee of
council an ordinance prohibiting the
•ah- of drinks on Sunday in all clubs.
It has developed that the upshot of
the whole locker club probe now in
progress will be a fight to stop the serv
ing of drinks on Sunday. A number of
Tube will be closed, of course, as was
originally Intended But the most seri
ous probable effect on the real social
clubs will be the banning of Sunday
drinks.
The law is already reasonably clear
on the subject, but council has been si
lent. Council may or may not decide to
much noise in making the decision,
noise in making the decision.
Aiderman Candler said he had re
ceived many letters from citizens liv
ing in nearby towns congratulating
Mm on his veto of locker club permits
end urging him to stop the sale of
drinks in Atlanta on Sunday
Come to Atlanta
Sunday to Drink.
He said that these citizens com
plained that their young men came to
Atlanta to spend Sunday and drink.
Aiderman Candler said he felt that At
lanta owed it to her smaller neighbors
to stop the dispensing of intoxicating
drinks on Sunday.
However, the nomination of James G.
Woodward for mayor was considered a
plea from the voters for a more liberal
town. There is argument that a real
locker club has as much right to serve
drinks on Sunday as on any other day.
Also, it is pointed out, there are many
citizens in Atlanta whose religious doc
trine does not designate Sunday as the
•acred day of the week.
Council is divided on the subject by
two very positive opinions.
The police committee has not seen fit
to recommend any such action so far.
p airman W. G. Humphrey was dls-
P’oased by the veto of his committees
report by Acting Mayor Candler. Tt is
probable that he police committee will
stand pat on its report and allow the
"dry" Sunday fight to develop in coun
cil.

ALLIES SEE END OF WAR
IF ADRIANOPLE FALLS
Preparations Are Made for the
First Naval Battle of the
Conflict.
ATHENS. GREECE. Oct. _’S. A Ser
vian army ..f 50,000 men, under King
Peter of Servia, today began moving
upon Salonika from Uskub, which was
taken by the allies Saturday.
At the same time a Greek army, un
der King George of G-’v* is marching
northeastward from Elassona toward
Salonika. Tue Greeks and Servians
will co-operate in an attack upon Sa
lonika from two sides.
Although tic Servian* have ue long
er distance to travel, they are enabled
to use a brancii of the Orient railway
which lies between Salonika end Us
kub. The. Greeks have the shorter dis
tance, but they must cross a mountain
range through a narrow defile, which
will make their progress* slow.
Th£ general plan of operations in
western Turkey includes an attack upon
Mona stir after the fall of Scutari. This
city, it is believed, will fall prey to an
allied army of Montenegrins. Servians
and Christian tribesmen.
End of War Is
Seen by Allies.
The march upon Salonika is the most
important move in the western cam
paign. It is believed here that both
Salonika and Adrianople are doomed,
and that with t eir fall the war will
end. Dispatches from the front state
that tile Greek army is meeting with
but slight resistance. It is keeping
close to the Gulf of Salonika ami the
fertile farming country through which
its passing provides the soldiers with
plenty of provisions.
At Salonika the first naval engage
ment of tlie war will be fought, should
the Greek government order its fleet
there to co-operate with the land forces
in a genera! attack. The Turks are
planting mines in Salonika harbor and
strengthening the harbor fortresses to
guard against an attack from tin water
side.
A Turkish flotilla lias also beei. or
dered there at full speed frpin C'hank
Kalossi. a port at the western end of
the Dardanelles.
Storm Halts Move
On Adrianople
VIENNA, Oct. 28. —A heavy ano pro
longed rainstorm, accompanied by cold
weather, put a check on the Bulgarian
campaign around Adrianople today.
Desultory fighting was in progress at
a number of points, and the Bulgarian
artillery continued to shell the city
of Adrianople.
Fires in the southwestern part of the
city, which were started by the Bulga
rian shells and which have waged for
over 60 hours, have been distinguished
by the rain.
The Turkish forces are suffering
much more acutely than the Bulgarians
from the weather conditions. Coining
form a northern mountainous country,
the Bulgarians are inured to the cold,
wet autumn of the Balkans, but *the
Turkish soldiers, save those who have
been stationed for a long period in Eu
ropean Turkey, are suffering acutely.
Tlie Bulgarian aviation corps al Hav
ades, which was taken from the Turks
Saturday, assembled an aeroplane to
day and made a flight southward
through the Tunja river valley, flying
almost directly over the Turkish forts
at Kavaiik and on the eastern hank of
the river. The Turks tried to train a
cannon on the aeroplane, but did not
succeed in injuring it.

Mrs. Hill blamed the decadence of in 1

"Then the girls and boys get spoiled !

Georgian’s Thorough
Canvass Indicates
Walkover for Demo
crats—T. R. and Taft
Running Neck and
Neck With President
Slight Favorite.
The election of Wilson and
Marshall to the presidency and
vice presidency of the United
I States on November 5 has long
been conceded by affiliations.
Just how sweeping the victory of
Hi Democratic candidates may be
and exactly the relative strength
of President Taft and Colonel
Roosevelt before the people are
the only two questions that have
furnished food for political argu
ment .
Tlie.-e questions The Georgian ami as
Oli- imw/papers have rnfleavoreil
throvgh a conscientious search of po
jlitical conditions throughout the forty-'
eight states, to determine. In this ef
fort tin best political minds of ui.
parties in all states have been con
sulted. T e consensus of opinion i?
that Governor Wilson and Governor
Marshall will be swept into office by
the largest majority in tlie electoral
college any men have received since
the I'ivil war.
The canvass of Georgia shows tlie
vote in this state probably will be:
Wilson 77,000, Roosevelt 26,000. and
Taft IS,OOO.
■Devoted Their Time
To the Big States.
Pruddent Taft emingiy will re
ceive only thirty-nine electoral votes,
and if California throws her strength
to Wilson and Marshall they will re
ceive the balance of tlie electoral
coli' ge. for in no state, at the moment.
cu.es Colonel Roosevelt look like an
ei sy winner.
it early was foreseen by r the poli
tieians tiiat the big states of New York,
Pennsylvania. Ohio, Indiana and Illi
nois would be the battleground, and the
attention of al! pa.ties was given to
these commonwealths. As the cam
paign progressed, public sentiment
(swung- so heavily toward Governor WII-
I son that today those states can be
i eliminated and still the Jersey gov
ernor will win a majority of the eiec

In the tab’e of indicated results i
will be seen that Governor Wilson

is almost equally divided, with Presi
dent Taft loading Coionel Roosevelt
by about fifty thousand votes. It is
this division of the Republican vote
that makes the indicated electoral vote
for the Deni' cratlc ticket so tremen
dous.
it may be said that the politician.-:
