THE PROGRESSIVES VS.
CONSERVATIVES IN THE STATE
OF GEORGIA.
The people of Georgia are politically
divided Into two claaaea in their po-
Ulical convictions one great group
repreaetits ihc progressive element ol
the party the other represent* the
conaerxative group.
Three group* have been represented
in ihe con teat a between Hoke Hmith
gnd Joe Brown. They were represent*
gentetl in the Senatorial ram in ihe
Candida, y of Gov, Hinton on one aide
popraionting th<* ron*fn hllvm, hho
Hardwick and Felder on the othu
aide rei»rcacnting the itrogreaaivr
wing of the party In Bitch a con teat,
it whb confidently predicted that will,
the progreealve vote divided between
Hardwick and Felder that Slaton
would win.
Hut the return* ahow that Slaton
got shout one-third of the Miles caat
—acme 51,000 out of a total of nearly
170.000.
The boaat of the Slaton managers wa*
that he waa the only candidate run
ning In every county of the elate. In
view of thfee figures It la absurd to
claim that Stator represents the pop
lar choice of the people.
In a aecond primary between Sla
ton and Hardwick, which ought to be
the law In Georgia, there la no doubt
hut that Slaton would be derisively
detested by Hardwick and the pro
gressive vote of Ihe state. We arc
inclined to think thia la the view the
State Contention ia going to lake of
the matter. Certainly-If the progres
sive wing of the party controls tin,
state convention, ns seems certain by
the vote cast against Slaton, they
will not make the mistake of nomina
ting a candidate who does not repre
sent the progressive sentiment of the.
State.
H the progressive wing of the party
controls the stale convention, they
will nominate a progressive candidate
(or the U. 8 Senate Georgia already
'vgs one progressive Senator In Wash
ington and the stale has decided to
keep him there. It is the logical thing
to send another progressive represen
tative to the Senate not to send a
eonoervativ* who will nullify Ihe ef
forts of the progressive Senstor wo
already have in Washington

In favor of Austria, one could not but
remember "Mafeklng Night” in Don

Berlin was better ordered than In
London, instead of being scattered in
loose skirmishing formation all over
the town, the “Maffickers” concentrat
ed In "Unter-den-ldnden,” where the
marching thousands kept the leava*
of the famous lindens quivering with
the vehemence of their martial music.
On such nights the huge mAHern
cases of Berlin are a sight worth see

with enthusiastic thousands singing
the patriotic and soldier songs which
every German knows by heart, every

National Anthem and "Deutschland

GATHERING THE IB NEWS;
NEWSPAPERS FACE HARD TASK
(From the Fourth Estate.)
The hardest t«Bk that'the newspapers
*>f America ever faced is now confronting
them—that of obtaining authentic infor
mation of the war in Kurope. It is evi
dent from the general attitude of gov
ernments in recent wars that the trials
of the war correspondent are to he
many and that every step will be taken
to block the accomplishment of his task
of gathering the news.
The warring governments in Europe
have already put in effect the strictest
censorship on news and since actual hos
tilities have begun haVdly a line of real
news has reached America that nas no.
been based on report.
Correspondents who have ventured Into
war territory have met all sorts of ob
stacles. aml in some cases they have been
placed under arrest.
Even ia neut Val Italy the censor holds
control of everything that is filed lor
cabling.
The Jaondon Chronicle’s correspondent
lasted for two days and was expelKa.
The Telegraph’s correspondent managed
to get to Semlin. only to be told to pack
hack to Vienna.
The express failed to get a man there
because ol the discouraging reporis ot
ae difficulties placed in the way of re
porters, and is holding its principal cor
respondent at Athens.
Even the capitals of Europe corre
spondents are practically useless. One
leondon newspaper proprietor said:
“1 have a good man in Berlin, but all
he has done is to telegraph for gold ’
“I think generally, the London news
papers will husband their resources fir
the present,” another said. “Newspa
pers that send their special corespond
ents into the field will court bankruptcy.
They will expend large sums and get no
vajuuneratton.”
Tensors took charge of all the Gr-man
• able offices in the kingdom ounday
night. All code messages were pronib
ited, even to Austria. Telephonic com
munication with the continent was en
ftrely stopped.
The cutting of direct cables with Ger
mane has added much to the task of
getting news to this country. The As
sociated Press and other news services
received its last direct message from
Germany at 1 p. m. Wednesday.
The French war office has forbidden
the publication of any news referring to
the wgr or to the movement of troops in
any way which is not communicated by
the press bureau which has been organ
ized by the ministry of war.

Pari*. —The French are depending
on their artillery to overthrow the
German* more than any other arm of
the service. They believe the Oreusot

In speed of fire the difference is
Impressive. The Oreusot will throw
thirty sheila a minute to the Krupp's

shell is thrust into the breech by hand
and the French operation is almost
entirely mechanical. The Oreusot
Shell is laid In a wide steel slide be
