By CHARLES W, BTORM, *“ f
NEW YORK, April 26.—The stock
market ogened unsettled today on sell
ing for both long and short account,
The failure of the United,States Bteel
directors to increase the dividend caused
speculative selling, and the e¢ommon
yvie'ded % to 82%. The railwey issues
were genérally, lower, because of in
creased attention attached to the labor
situation. Reading declined % to 81%
and fractional losses were sustained in
KErie and New Haven. i
The Mexican group was -tronfi for a
few minutes, but a aupplr quickly ap
peared and those issues lost about all
their initial gains. American Smeltlng.
after rising % to 94, drog‘ped to 93,
Mexican Petroleum started hlgher at
6% and then receded to 94. aldwin
Locomotive was the weakest of the spe
r:lanlfis and, after opening % higher at‘
87, fell 1o 84. Anaconda was fairly well
held, advancing % at the start to 82%,
but lost the gain under moderate sales,
The marine issues were ni’uln in good
demand, but showed little change at the
end of the first fifteen minutes, Distil
lers was exveg:lonauy strong, moving up
a int to 49%.
l';n the late forenoon price movements
were mixed, some issues sustainiag sub
stantial losses, while others were in
vigorous demand and made moderate
gaink, Distillers was one of the most
prominent features, advancing to BO%K
a gain of 1% polr{u in all. Industria
Alcohol rallied from 14‘2’ to 147, but re
acted to 145&2. Steel Common sold at
83, Mexican Petroleum at 95, Anaconda
at 82%, Marine common at 24 and the
referred at 81%. Jreene-Cananea rose
% points to 48%. Man?' of the special
ties were weak, Baldwin selling at 837%
and Crucible at 78%. Business in the
raflway issues was small and fractional
losses were noted. Q&
Many issues dlupla‘( weakness in the
early afternoon and substantial losses
were recorded. Marine preferred was in
free supply, selling down to 80%, while
the common was in good demand and
advanced from 22% to 23%'. Distillers
lost all its early gain, selling at 4!?.
American Smelting declined a point to
92%, Norfolk and Western was strong,
mlvnnclnf‘ 2% to 123. |
The rallway issues were in brisk de
mand during the last half hour of trad-
Ing and scored substantial gains, based
on the declaration of an extra dividend
of 1 rer cent on Norfolk and \Vel)lern.
This issue jumped to 124%, Union Pacif
e -g:zng:d% to 130% and Pennsylvania
rea ‘ " |
Tl;\a market closed steady. Govern

No one disputes Mr. Arnold’s in
tegrity, ability and efficiency as a
prosecuting officer, but they do doubt
the advisability of his holding an of
fice which belongs to the public all his
natural life. :
Mr. Arnold has the above qualifica
tions, but he has no monopoly on them.
Other lawyers in Atlanta are just as
worthy and well qualified, so why con
tinue Mr. Arnold in office longer than
12 years?
J. V. POOLE, who is asking the
voters to give him the office at this
time, was born and reared on the farm
in Forsyth County, taught school in
Forsyth and Milton Counties, grad
uated at the University of Georgia in
1905, practiced law at Lawrenceville
and Buford, Ga., and has been prac
ticing here in Atlanta for about eight
years, all of which give him as large, if
not larger, experience than Mr. Ar
nold, he having been born and reared
here in the City of Atlanta, and knows
nothing of country life except “coun
try home” life, and certainly nothing
of plowing a mule from sunup until
dark in the middle of June.
Mr. Poole has not tried to get nor
ask for an indorsement from any law
yers nor any political clique, but, on
the contrary, has gone to the voters
and asked them personally to vote for
him, they being the ones who should
control the public offices and not a cer
tain bunch of lawyers, and he respect
fully asks the voters of FULTON
COUNTY to investigate his record
as to character and ability from the
day of his birth to the present, and if
there is a thing against either, don't
vote for him. .
