In Sight,'Says Allen
General Chairman Ivan E. Allen,
the Oglethorpe campaign com
mittee, said this morning:
The Monday meeting of com
mittee workers at the Piedmont
was larger than any of those held
last w«ek, and I don't think there
was a man present who failed to
grasp the significance of the fa<ct.
‘ Ft means that there is to be no
let-up in the work, and that every
man interested In it will do his
part with redoubled vigor from
day to day, until the whole $250,000
is raised.
"Victory is already in sight, but
we must all work harder at this
stage in the campaign than ever
before.''

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Dec. 9 —
Announcement will be made in Phila
delphia to-morrow that Atlanta has
been selected for the convention next
year of the National Good Roads As
sociation.
The contest had narrowed down lo
Atlanta and New Orleans, and the de
cision was in favor of the former oe-
cause the executive committee of the
association thought there was greater
necessity for road campaigning 1n the
sections around Atlanta than New
Orleans.
demand on the Senate that a
provision be inserted in the measure
making interlocking directorates un
lawful. The Kansas Senator called
attention to the fact that While the
Pujo investigating committee found
interlocking directorates the founda
tion of the “money trust,” yet the
House bill, although championed by
President Wilson, Chairman Glass
and Samuel l ntermyer, the attorney
for the Pujo committee, contains “not
a single line that will carry out the
findings of the Pujo committee.
“I have been amazed.” continued
Senator Bristow, “to see men who
pretend to be hostile to the control by
these great Wall Street interests of
our banking system, propose a scheme
which they themselves must admit if
controlled by such Interests, would be
more powerful for evil than any
which Wall Street would organize
under existing law.”
Senator Bristow said the Owen
draft provides for a •'bankers” bank
ing system owned by the banks, con
trolled by the banks and conducted
almost wholly for the profit of the
banks, while the Hitchcock draft is a
people's bank, owned by the general
public, controlled by the Government
and used to strengthen and fortify
out great independent banking sys
tem.
