circulated that he would go In person
before the Assembly and plead his
own case before a vote was taken;
another rumor had It that he would
make overtures to his political ene
mies. All were wrong.
The Governor waited de\ -lopments
anxiously and Impatiently. He made
a forlorn figure. Just a short time
ago his favor w *. courted by all, but
when the tide of politics began to go
agalnat him he waa deserted. Omy
his wife gave him comfort. Eve.i
friends of his own political party
shunned him.
History of an unprecedented nature
was made, for never beiore has a Gov- j
ernor of this State been impeached. |
There was practically nothing do
ing duri ig the hours before noon, us .
nearly all the legislators were in bed. [
Opponents of the Governor were busy, i
however, and Mr. Sul er was severely
criticised tor his reported acquits-
cence to his wife's declaration that
she was unwittingly responsible for
the Wall Street speculation charges.
“He should not try to hide behind [
petticoats to save his political face.” j
said they.
Tammany's Hand Is Seen.
Friends of the impeached Governor
are deeply distressed to-day over the
action of the assembly. They still
maintain that politics of a Tammany
taint is rampant in the legislative
halls They go so far as to predict
that Acting Governor Glynn, who is
now the rightful occupant of the ex
ecutive chamber, will be given full op
portunity to decapitate appointments
made by the Governor, in that it is
expected lhat no impeachment pro
ceedings will de started until late in
October, which is the limit of time
provided for in the Constitution when
th. Impeachment trial through the
court of impeachment must be insti
tuted.
These friends of tbs Governor find
solace in the fact that in addition to
th,. 76 votes necessary to impeach.
Tammany could muster but three ad
ditional votes. They point out that
fourteen Republicans voted to sustain
the Governor and feel that it was
rock-ribbed political tactics which
forced those who voted favorably on
tlie impeachment resolution to do so.
It is not believed that the impeach
ed Governor will be forced to vacate
the Executive nmnslon although he
ma> feel In honor hound to do so.
Acting Governor Glynn has a home
of his own In one of the most ex
elusive thoroughfares in the city and
a summer home at Cedar Hill.
That the knotty tangle which the
Democrats now find themselves In
was due to the uncompromising atti
tude of Governor Sulzer was claimed
by organization Democrats. They
declare that Governor Sulzer frowned
on all attempts made by the leaders
“to get together” and that they had
to “get him,” that It was known that
Rulzer had a checkered past, in spite
of his continued declarations that he
“was walking the street called
straight “ All sorts of “1 told you so’s
were forthcoming from Democratic
legislators and whispers of more un
complimentary pages of the Gover
nor's life found utterance.
A prominent Democratic member
said that the Frawley committee had
in reserve a mass of evidence which,
if used, would create more scandal of
which the Governor would be the vic
tim. This material may be brought
out during the future sessions of the
Frawley committee.
Briefly, the articles of impeachment
which were presented tq the Senate
to-day charge that Governor Sulzer
is guilty of the following allegations:
That he filed a false statement of
campaign contributions with the Sec
retary of State, such statement hav
ing caused "great scandal” and re
proach for the Governor of the State
of New York, and that the said staie-
ment did not contain all the contribu
tions received by him, and that he was
guilty of a misdemeanor in failing to
file a true report.

tee and other witnesses aubpenaed
from producing books and papers de
sired by the committee, such act hav
ing been a misdemeanor.
That In preventing or dissuading
Frederick L. Colwell from attending
the hearing of the Frawley commit
tee the Governor was also guilty of
a misdemeanor in having violated
section 2441 of the penal law.
That prior to his election the Gov
ernor appropriated campaign contri
butions to his owm use using the
same, or a large portion thereof, to
speculate in stocks, and that he there
by stole such checks and was guilty
of larceny.
Abus* of Power Alleged.
That he promised and threatened to
use his office to affect the vote of
certain public officers, Including As
semblymen F. G. Prime, of Essex, and
Thaddeus C. Sweet, of Oswego.
That the Governor corruptly used
his Authority as Governor to affect
the price of securities in the New
York Stock Exchange, in some of
which he was speculating and in oth
er ways Rought to influence legisla
tion.
In conclusion the articles read:
“The assembly demands that the
Governor answer concerning all these
matters before the court which is to
hear the charges, and offers to pre
sent proof of said matters at such
time as the honorable court for the
trial of impeachment may order and
a ppolnt.”
Posed as a Poor Man.
William Sulzer less than a year ago
enjoyed the confidence of the peop e
of New York State to such an extent
that he was elected Governor by a
Vote of 19,000 In excess of that *ven
Wilson and the national ticket, and
a few months later twid in an inter
view. "The P 0 understand me. I
understand the people, and we trust
each other.”
Throughout his long career in the
State Assembly, in the National
House of Representatives, and during
ids recent campaign for election as
Governor and his six-n.onth tenure
of that office Governor Sulzer always
powed as a poor man and a friend of
the poor man
Refuses to See Reporters.
The Governor’s secretary state 1
that Sulzer would not make any state
ment and would not see the newspa
per men at the usual hour to-day.
When the Governor reached the
Capitol this morning, he was asked
how he felt and rep’ied: "Fine. It’s
a nice breezy morning.”
He seemed to be in excellent spir
its and paused to allow his picture to
he taken at the foot of the Capitol
steps.
Although* both houses of the Leg
islature were scheduled to meet at 11
o’clock, it was long after that hour
when the lawmakers, hollow-eyed and
sleepy in appearance, began to ar
rive. Many of them had not been to
bed at all.
The Court of Appeals, it was
learned to-day, could not be convened
much before the end of September on
account of many of ‘he Judges being
in Europe and other places on vaca
tions.
No word was forthcoming to-day
as to whether Governor Sulzer would
I attempt to remain In office or fight
his accusers. The Governor himsel*
would say nothing whatever, and
Judge D. Cady Herrick, before ho
went into consultation with the Gov
ernor. refused to discus* the situa
tion. It is believed by friends of the
Governor that for t: time being the
Governor will step aside, hut no con-
j formation of this can he obtained.
A resolution offered by Senator Mc
Neill. of the Twenty-second, Indors
ing the campaign Inaugurated by
Hearat’s Sunday American in co-op
eration with other leading Southern
newspapers to blaze an all-Southern
highway from Atlanta to San Fran
cisco, was passed unanimously hv
the Senate Wednesday morning
In offering the resolution Senator
McNeill declared that the propose!
campaign undoubtedly meant mu’h
not only for Georgia, but for the whole
South, an It will afford a direct road
from the East to the South and thence
to the Pacific Coast, where the great
Panama-Pacific Exposition will be
held in 1916.
“I offer this resolution for the in
dorsement of the Senate,” said, the
Senator, “because the campaign Is
an effort to increase Interest In good
roads and highways in additions to
affording a route from New' York to
the Pacific Coast through the South.
The campaign is featured by the fa't
that it will not cost the State of
Georgia one cent.”
Senate Resolution in Full.
The resolution adopted by the Sen
ate follows:
Reso'ved, That whereas the
campaign inaugurated by Hearst’a
Sunday American in co-operation
with other leading Southern
newspapers for an aU-Southern
transcontinental highway from
Atlanta to San Francisco will
mean much for the promotion of
good roads in Georgia as weM as
better facilities for the inter
change of farm products between
different States, this Senate does
hereby indorse this movement,
thereby encouraging the senti
ment and interest for better roads
and highways.
The Senate Indorsement of the cam
paign followed fast on the heels of the
indorsement of Governor John M. Sla
ton. who declared Tuesday that no
better sign of the progress of the
people could he had than Just such
movements as this one.
Other prominent citizens, including
Shelby Smith. County Commissioner,
also have placed their hearty stamp
of approval on the project.
In fact, interest in the proposed
tour has exceeded the fondest e pec-
tatlons of the good roads and high
way boosters, who are leaving no
stone unturned to make the trans
continental path-finding tour a suc
cess in every particular.
Pathfinder Arranges Details.
Perhaps the busiest of the boosters
is “Pathfinder” Ferguson, w r ho w'lll
conduct the big campaign. Mr. Fer
guson arrived in Atlanta last Satur
day, and since that time he has gone
into every detail of the first lap of
the Journey from Atlanta to Birming
ham. Scarcely a single detail of the
“official" start, which will be made
next Monday, has been overlooked.
The pathfinders have their road maps
In readiness and the Atlanta boosters
who will have the parade In hand
have announced “ready.”
The parade will be one of the larg
est ever witnessed in Atlanta. Amon?
those who will participate will be the
Chief of Police, the Fire Chief, vari
ous city officials and other prominent
citizens. Mr. Ferguson will go dire t
to Anniston. Ala., from Atlanta and
thence to Birmingham, the first "offi
cial” stopping place. The proposed
route extends through Birmingham,
Montgomery, New Orleans, Pallas,
Houston, San Diego, Los Angeles »o
San Francisco.
Fate of Exhibit of
Atlanta-Made Goods
Hangs in Balance
Committees are making every ef- |
fort to dispose of the unsold space in
the four top floors of the New Cham
ber of Commerce Building reserved
for a permanent manufacturers’ ex
hibit of Atlanta-made goods.
It is necessary that the space he
disposed of by the middle of neat
week, or the proposition will be aban
doned. Manufacturers of Atlanta-
made goods are urged to take advan
tage of this opportunity to establish
the exhibit of Atlanta-made goods at
a central location easily accessible to
visitors to the city.
Every city that has established a
permanent manufacturers' exhibit has
increased it later on and the proposi
tion has proven eminently successful.
TAX BILL IS PASSED
AFTER HARD BATTLE
Not One Petticoat
For Shivering Girl
CHICAGO. Aug. 13.—Modern fash
ions that have ruled out the petti
coat and a thief caused Miss May
Leonard to walk eight blocks clad in
Mhoes and stockings and an extremely
light raincoat. She went bathing ai
Clarendon Beach. Some one rifled
her locker while she was in the wj-
ter. They left nothing but shoes and
stockings Her bathing suit was
rented and the beach officials would
not permit her to wear it home.
Miss Leonard asked every girl In
the dressing room for the loan of a
petticoat. Every one of them was
wearing a sairt that permitted no pet
ticoat. The only garment she could
borrow' was a raincoat.
Clayton to Oppose
• Hobson for Senate
MONTGOMERY, Aug. 18.—Con
gressman Henry D. Clayton, who has
been appointed by Governor O’Neal
to fill the unexpired term of Senator
Joseph F. Johnston, deceased, an
nounces his intention of entering the
race for the full term.
Congressman Richard Pearson Hob
son had already opened his campaign
for the senatorial toga of Senator
Johnston, and will continue in the
race. He has made a number of
speeches in different sections of the
State.
If Representatives Sheppard of
Sumter County and Stovall of Elbert
County stand by their guns during
the tw’o remaining sessions of the
Legislature, a determined fight to in
duce the House to reconsider its ac
tion in passing the Senate tax revi
sion hill, providing for a State Tax
Commissioner and county boards of
assessors, will be Inaugurated Wed
nesday or Thursday.
Both Mr. Stovall and Mr. Sheppard
made strenuous efforts to get the
floor Immediately after the passage
of the bill with a motion to reconsid
er, but w'ere ruled out of order at
their first attempt by Speaker Bur-
well. Then Ed Wohlwender, of Mus
cogee, stepped into the breach with
one of his filibusters, and their op
portunity was gone. They have served
notice cn the House, however, that
they wi.l make a motion to reconsid
er at the earliest possible opportunity
Friends of the measure, however,
who passed It after one of the most
spectacular fights in the history of
Georgia, declare that they have no
fear that the efforts of Mr. Sheppard
and Mr. Stovall will succeed. Backed
by the approbation of Governor Sla
ton. who issued a statement Tuesday
night that the House deserved the
thanks of the State, they have no
fear that their work will be destroyed
during the short remaining time of
the session.
Several Foes Drop Fight.
Several members who voted against
the tax bill declared Wednesday
morning that in view' of their friend
ship for the administration they will
not support a motion to reconsider,
even though it come from Sheppard
and Stovall, recognized leaders of the
anti-tax reformers in the House.
It took singing, much argument, a
wild ride to the Capitol in an auto
mobile, a deciding vote by the Speak-
i er and one of Ed Wohlwender’s noted
filibusters to pass the bill, but after
three hours’ hard work, in' which

was a battle, It was finally done.
Bob Blackburn, of Fulton, led the
singing that put courage into the
hearts of the tax reformers; Hender
son of Jones made the w'ild ride to
the Capitol and cast the tying vote at
the last moment, and then Speaker
Burwell stepped into the breach and
saved the bill by casting the vote that
broke the tie and made the bill a law.
Sheppard, of Sumter, denounced the
measure, declaring that it is uncon
stitutional, and Stovall, of Elbert, de
livered an equally strong ppeeuh
against the bill. McCrory, of Schley
County, and Conner, of Spalding, also
denounced it. Among those who
spoke in favor of it were Wimberly,
of Bibb; Jones of Coweta: Swift,
of Muscogee; Fullbright, of Burke,
and Greene, of Houseton.
At 6 o’clock Holtzclaw. of Hous
ton, called the previous question, and
at 5:15 the roll call began on the
measure. The closeness of the vote
was apparent before half a dozen
names w'ere called. The vote see
sawed during the entire roll call. At
no time was either side more than
three votes ahead. When the verifi
cation of the roll call began at 6:10
o’clock the antis had 86 votes and
the reformers 83. Then one of the
members arose and changed his vote
from yea to nay, changing the figures
to 85 to 84.
Then Gower, of Crisp, bethought
himself that Henderson, of Jones, a
sterling friend of the measure, was
not in the House. He began hunting
for him. In five minutes he had lo
cated Henderson at the Majestic Ho
stel, where he was waiting for a mes
sage from his wife, who is very ill.
Henderson was told the status of the
vote and Jumped into a taxicab and
started on a wild ride to the Capitol.
He arrived as the clerk was calling
the S’s in his verification. Mr. Hen
derson gained the floor and voted yea,
tying up the vote. When the Speak
er announced that the vote was a tie,
there was a moment of breathless
quiet.
Then Speaker Burwell voted yea
and pandemonium broke loose. Mem
bers shouted and nang. Jumped upon
their seats, shook hands and relieved
the tense feeling that had prevailed.
None waa happier than Pat Burney,
one of the older members of the
House. He jumped up on his desk
and let out a whoop that could be
heard five blocks. The din continued
for five minutes before the Speaker
could restore order.
Then Sheppard, of Sumter, and
Stovall, of Elbert, began a systematic
effort to bring about a reconsideration
of the bill. Their efforts were de
feated when Blackburn, of Fulton,
moved that the House adjourn to 9:30
o’clock Wednesdjfy morning, which i*
a debatable question. Wohlwender
arose to the occasion—and the bin
was saved.
In a statement issued last night
Governor Slaton declared that the
Legislature deserves the thanks of the
people of Georgia.
“It has shown efficiency and busi
ness capacity in a form that com
mands the confidence of the entire
business world and can offer withou*
embarrassment the bonds of Georgia
to the strictest financier."
