XO. 78. ■HITES ■[ FWL PLEHSIO mo Three Leading Parties Virtually End Campaign and Await Verdict of Voters. WILSON SAYS VICTORY WILL MEAN NEW ERA Colonel Roosevelt Takes Fare well Fling at the New Jersey Governor. Democrats, Republicans and Progres sives closed their national campaigns today and now await the verdict of the voters at the polls Tuesday. Colonel Roosevelt ended his strenu ous race for the presidency by issuing a lengthy statement in which he bitter ly assailed Governor Wilson for his alleged failure to prosecute trusts oper ating in New Jersey since he has been governor of that state. Governor Wilson closes his campaign tonight with two speeches in his home state, New Jersey. His last important address was at Rochester, N. Y., last night when he attacked the United States senate as a “citadel of the pri vate interests," and urged the voters to make congress solidly Democratic, thus restoring It to the people. Today he issued a final message to the people, assuring that a Democratic victory will mean a new era of confidence in the nation. The Taft campaign, which has been marked by apathy and quietness, vir tually was ended by the death of Vice President Sherman." T. R. Raps Wilson In Final Plea NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—Colonel Tneo dore Roosevelt today fired his final big gun at Governor Woodrow Wilson. He bitterly assailed Governor Wilson's at titude on the trust question, and ac cused the New Jersey candidate of failing to act while he had the oppor tunity to amend the New Jersey trust laws. Swinging from his attack upon Gov ernor Wilson, the colonel rapped both the Democrats and Republicans for their tariff program and made a final appeal to people of all classes to sup port the Progressive ticket at the polls next Tuesday. The heaviest part of the assault fell upon Governor Wilson. After point ing that the governor had the New Jersey legislature with him. the col onel said: “He (Governor Wilson) has had am ple opportunity and he himself has de clared it was ,111 s duty *to proceed against the trusts by legislative act.” Says Wilson Never Tried to Control Trusts. The colonel quoted from speeches by Governor Wilson to show that the lat ter stood by state control rather than national control of monopolies. He added that Governor Wilson never tried to get through the legislature of New Jersey measures to solve the problem of monopolistic control. "Even after members of the legisla ture at Trenton endeavored to secure the necessary legislation," declared Colonel Roosevelt, “Governor Wilson declined to give the legislature a lead and declined to lift a finger in their aid.” The colonel then propounded four questions to Governor Wilson. These were: 1. Is it not a fact that the laws of a state under which a corporation is organized prescribe its power? 2. Are not all the powers of the Standard Oil and similar monopolies conferred by the laws of New Jersey? 3. Could not these powers have been curtailed by amendments? 4. Why has not Mr. Wilson recom mended such amendments? Trusts Not Aiding Him, He Declares. The colonel denied that the trusts were supporting the Progressive tick et. He declared that the Standard OU and other huge corporations are bitter in their opposition to the Progressive ticket. All trusts, he charged, are work ing for the old parties, either for the Democratic ticket or the Republican ticket. According to the writer, President Taft’s trust solution is about as bad as Governor Wilson’s. Colonel Roosevelt then outlined the Progressive program for corporation control, saying that the Progressive Continued on Page Two, The Atlanta Georgian Read For Profit—GEORGIAN WANT ADS—Use For Results. ••••••••••••••••••••••••A# • • : Final Forecasts of • : Campaign Managers* i • Copyright, 1912, Nat'l News Ass’n.) • • NEW YORK, Nov. 2. —Complete • • victories for Wilson.

McClure, Progressive national committeeman from Georgia, and ac tive in the affairs of the Bull Moose organization, is sitting in his office at Hunter and South Broad streets to day with a shotgun across his knees awaiting the arrival of the writer of a letter who has threatened to kill him cn sight. According to the letter writer, who indicts his missive on Japan bond pa per in pencil, McClure may have until Just Tuesday to live if he persists in his advocacy of Roosevelt in Georgia. However, the writer says he will shoot McClure on sight and prefers to do the job before the day ends. He says he expects to see and settle with the na tional committeeman before Saturday’s sun is set, which shows you that ’it is no laughing matter. The letter, which was mailed at the Atlanta postoffice yesterday afternoon at 1:30 o’clock and received by McClure early last night, is as follows: “C. W. McClure: Sir—l want to tell you that if you keep on with the Moose club you will be killed and that before Tuesday. I will kill you the first time I see you, and I know that will be by Sat urday. You may treat this matter light ly. but I will get you yet. So good-bye. “A. HATER.” Cheerful friends of Mr. McClure are confident that the letter is perfectly genuine in its intention. McClure is not so sure, but is taking no chances, and toted a double-barreled shotgun to his office and kept It handy during the day. Police Chief Beavers was notified.

The Chatalja forts are the strongest about Constantinople. They were built in 1877 to keep back the Russians. It Is believed that a grand assault will be made upon the works after a I severe bombardment. Trained Soldiers ; Alone Save Turks. Two hundred thousand Bulgarians » and Turks engaged today in the life t and death struggle between Adrianople . and the Bosphorus, with Constantl s nople as the prize. Dispatches from f military headquarters state that the 1 Turks were driven back before the steady advance of the Bulgarians, but’ > that fighting was continuous, for the . trained Turkish soldiers, who had been 1 employed to guard the rear, were bear , ing the brunt of the Bulgars’ onslaught with courage, and stubbornly contest- • ing every foot of ground. In conse ; quence the Bulgarian advance was . slow. Wounded soldiers taken to Stara Za s gora from the front tell graphic stories 3 of the battle south of Adrianople. The most of the Redifs, they declared, ; proved treacherous cowards and fled i before the Bulgarian artillery fire, > without waiting for an attack by in fantry or cavalry. 1 In their retreat southward, the Turks ■ pillaged the country, leaving it a des » olute waste behind them. Villages were i burned, crops destroyed and* property • looted. The populace Is starving. Turns Show Extreme Cowardice. . After the defeat at Luleburgas, thousands of the Redifs acted with ; such arrant cowardice that the Turk ish officers fired into the ranks of their J own men killing many. , Troop trains were standing at the station in Luleburgas to carry the non combatants out of the danger zone, I but the Redifs drove the defenseles* men, women and children from the coaches and took their places. Even the pilots of the engines and roofs of ’ the cars were crowded with soldiers. ' If It had not been for the experienced . veterans the whole Turkish army would , have been annihilated. Thousands of reservists are leaving dally to join Czar Ferdinand’s army at , the front. Most of them are attired as . civilians, but are accoutred as sol , diers. , News of the wanton killing of 200 Bulgarians at Bunahannissar by Turk . ish soldiers before evacuating the town I was received here today. The Bulga rians were locked up In the barracks and the building set afire. The cap tives were burned alive. Turkish troops are massacrelng Bulgarian res ’' idents in the Struma valley, inflicting j terrible tortues upon the helpless. Hatred for Turks . Makes Fighting Fierce. I Continued Bulgarian success is par i tially accounted for by the instinctive hatred of the Bulgars for the Turks. , One war correspondent at the front. Lieutenant Wegener, says: ■ “Every man of the Bulgarian infan try literally thirsts to get at the Turks 1 with his knife or bayonet, and the of ficers are powerless against this burn ing frenzy. All attempts to hold the troops In leash ate fruitless. “The same feeling fills the breast of the newly formed reserves of the third line who go into battle in civilian ! clothes with cartridge belts girded about i them and Mannlicher rifles in their hands." ATLANTA, GA., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1912. CANDLER AND COUNCIL AT WAR OVER VETOES Acting Mayor Disapproves of Two Measures, and Lively Fight Is Certain. ATTEMPT TO BE MADE TO OVERRIDE HIS WILL < Executive, With More Than Twice the Power of Ordinary Mayor, Ready for Fray. Following Acting Mayor Candler’s vetoes of the resolutions of council pro viding for two assistants to Adult Pro bation Officer Coogler and giving Philip Weltner, the social reformer, the right to Investigate police court cases, mem bers of council are planning today to override the veto of the mayor in the first and probably both cases. The movement promises a lively meeting of council Monday, for Acting Mayor Candler can put up the most forceful fight of any member of council when he wants to, and ft is a rare ex ception when he does not desire to car ry his point. While acting mayor, Aiderman Can dler has more than twice the power of the ordinary mayor. He is mayor, chairman of the finance committee, pre siding officer of council and the presid ing officer of the aidermanlc board. Lively Fight Considered Certain. In addition, he is regarded as the most astute politician that has devoted his attentions to the city government of Atlanta in many a day, so that a lively fight is certain. The whole police committee and a number of other members of council have declared that they were ready to override the mayor's veto and give Of ficer Coogler his two assistants. One is to help him In handling Inebriates and the other is to attend to the office work. The resolution provided that they shall begin work on January 1 and receive s6f> per month each. Philip Weltner, the man who served a day In a stockade to learn the life of prisoners, wants to compile statistics on the results of the present methods of treating crffnlnals in Atlanta. He wants to work without charge and the resolution passed by council gives him the right to interview prisoners. When he has completed his report he will file it with council. Jackson Pleads For Weltner Measure. Mayor Candler said today that there were difficulties with both the resolu tions He said he would send a mes sage to council Mondaj’ giving the rea sons for his vetoes. In regard to Office, Coogler’s assis tants, he is opposed to appropriating any of next year’s money until next year arrives. He said that Mr. Weltner’s investiga tions might cause conflicts in certain cases. The idea is that ft might not be best for him to have the right to inter view some prisoners. Mr. Weltner and Marion Jackson, also a social reformer, went before Mayor Candler today to plead for the measure. Mr. Weltner said he did not want to in terfere with cases violating the state law and that he was certain his work would cause no conflict with the police. He said he smlply wanted to study the effect of the enforcement of city ordi nances against drunkards and other petty offenders.

She is not a bit of a hypocrite. Be tween sips of tea served to old friends who* welcomed her in the home of her brother, Amos Pinchot, Lady Johnstone dnlntilj puffed a cigarette. As a matter of fact. Lady Johnstone brought quite a supply of them with her-—6OO to be exact —but goodness, no, she doesn’t expect to smoke them all in her six weeks stay. She hopes her friends will enjoy some of them. "Everybody I know here smokes,” explnined Lady Johnstone, who will HOLLIS A. BOYNTON DIES SUDDENLY ON HONEYMOON Hollis A.

"How ridiculous! I should just as much think of asking 'Big Tim’ what I should eat for dinner as to ask him if 1 might be permitted to smoke. "The American women are keep ing up their record as the best-dressed women In the world,” said Lady John stone. "Os course, we have a class In London who dress exquisitely, but the people here generally dress much bet ter, and they walk better, too. The American women walk as though their backbone was in the right place. They don't 101 l or droop.” In which the Boyntons were staying, and Mr. Brittain at once telegraphed one of these, a friend of Mrs. Boynton, to assist in every arrangement for bringing her husband's body to At lanta.

STADIUM. CAMBRIDGE. MASS., Nov. 2. —Beneath a steel blue .»ky and between billowing walls of Crimson and Orange and Black, Harvard amd Princeton clashed this afternoon in their annual gridiron classic. Thirty five thousand football fans screamed and waved flags and encouraged their respective heroes as the rival elevens went into action. Perfect football weather prevailed. There was a ting ' ling breeze which whipped the stream ers and put the players on edge for the ( struggle. , Harvard had been a slight favorite . in the betting, but the final wagering I saw many bets at even money.
