Enthusiastic.

ciaD Fortified by a trunk full of
petitions, postal cards and letters, w.
NJ. Mitchell of Atlanta arrived in Chi
cago Sunday as the vanguard of an
army of southern Democrats who are
demanding that President Roosevelt
be nominated by the Republican con-
vention
And his name will be placed be-
fore the convention, too," declared
Mr.. Mitchell with a resounding whack
Of his fist on the table in his room at
the Victoria Hotel You can state
that as emphatically as you please.
The Georgia delegates would be dere-
lict in their duty if they did not use
every power at their command to
bring about his candidacy"
While Mr. Mitchell was discussing
in enthusiastic terms the likelihood of
President Roosevelt being the choice
OF the convention, another boost to
the boom came from former Congress
man Thomas w Phillips of New Cas-
tie, Pa, who declared that the Presi-
dent is sure to receive many votes at
the convention.
According to Mr. Mitchell $4,000
Georgia Demoerats-all white voters
are clamOring for the denomination
OF the present chief executive of the
nation He brought with him affidav-
its to prove the genuiness of the sig
natures to the various petitions. and
will hold conference today with the
leaders Of the Georgia delegation in
order to arrange for pushing the plan
II possible, to successful culmina-
ton.
"We have signatures to prove that
$4,000 Democrats from every section
of Georgia are in line for the renomi-
nation of the President by the Repub-
licans," he asserted THE movement
started only sixty days ago, and has
grown with almost incredible rapid
ity, If Roosevelt is nominated he will
carry Georgia by 10000 and Kentucky
Tennessee, North Carolina and Virgin
ia besides The signers of these pc
titiens are men in every walk of life
from drummers to clergymen.'
According to Mr.. Mitchell the
Roosevelt boom started in Roswell,
Ga, the home of President Roosevelt S

 Dr. Scott was promptly on his feet de- manding to know who had changed the manuscript He declared that the amend ed resolutions were inexpedient, that they would be a red flag to such persons as were already inclined to make trouble. This view was crushed under a deluge of arguments In favor of the amendment. It is more important, declared the speak CTS, that the law be observed and justice done in legal way than that matters be smoothed cut without consideration of the justice of the methods used.
