THE "BULL DOG OF BIBB,'' PLEADING
FOR MINORITY HAD A HOT OLD TINE

ATLANTA, Ga.-The first disorder
of the convention came with the first
attempt of Brown man to raise his
voice. Joe Hill Hall, the Bulldog
of Bibb," was the nervy minority
member, and his voice rang out inn
mediately following Reuben Arnold s
motion to adopt the report Of the
committee on convention rules. The
previous question was called instant
ly by a Smith man in order to shut
off debate, but the gentleman was
on his feet as the question was put
and passed.
Mr. Chairman" shouted the Ma
con man.
Take him OUT" Put him OUT! .
"Shut up" came the yells from all
over the house. A chorus of shouts
and cat calls went up from gallery
to gallery, but Mr.. Hall stood stead
fast in the aisle, his beared jaw
trembling, his blue eyes swapping
wickedly. He breasted the storm
bravely, though from his very feet
came loud and insistent demands
that he sit down or be put out.
ED like to see you put me out
of a democratic convention" shouted
Mr.. Hall. Come on and try it,"
At last Chairman Wright recog-
nized the delegate from Bibb, but it
did little good. Mr.. Halls stento-
rian voice could not overcome the
shouts from the Smith men, and after
bravely facing the storm for few
moments he advanced to the plat
form amid a torrent of boots and
jeers and handed the chairman a
document which he desired to lay
before the convention. 1t was a re-
quest from the minority, represent
ing $4,000 Brown voters, that they
be given representation on the COM
mittee and a voice in the affairs of
the convention, especially represen-
tation on the committee which was
to draft the platform of the party.
AS Mr.. Hall turned to take his
seat his progress down the aisle was
the signal for veritable pandemo-
mum. 1t reached its height when a
Cobb county delegate grasped ban
ner bearing the picture of Hoke
Smith and Haunted it in the face of
the bold leader of the minority
forces. Mr.. Hall had to fight his way
back to his seat, while Smith men
stood on the seats waving their hats
and yelling in his face. But the gen.
tleman from Bibb was in his ele-
ment-he was used to it-and he
smiled again as he sank back into
his chair
The request was handed by the
chairman to the secretaries, and
there it rested, the chair taking the
position that it was out of order and
no member of the majority faction
showing any disposition to grant the
minority any rights beyond a seat
on the floor.
What the Minority Said.
Following is the statement which
the minority, seeking recognition in
it's proceedings and deliberations, de-
sired to submit to the convention

1T is respectfully submitted that
we are entitled to participate in the

Overtures Had Been Made.
Overtures similar to the requests
embodied in the foregoing statement
had been made to those in control
of the convention on Wednesday
night.
The Smith forces state they did
not propose to have their platform
attacked on the floor of the convenA
ton by the minority leaders, and for
this reason they refused the recog.
milton which had been asked.

pendent in his business and in his

lies. If they are permitted arbitra-
rily to charge what rates they please

MES is essential.
Our new railroad commission law
extended the authority of the rail
road commission over all public SER
vice companies, such as street car
companies, lighting and heating COM
panies, telegraph and telephone COM
panies and the like. 1t also increased
the power of the commissioners to
supervise and regulate the business
of railroad companies. This legisla-
ton was no infringement upon vest
ed rights.
Square Deal For Public.
ct is a source of qualification that
the operation of our new railroad
commission law has demonstrated
that the rights of the public can be
protected. and at the same time the
companies subject to supervision
prosper. Every progressive demo
crat should desire success for every
legitimate corporate investment. We
will see to it, however, that a square
deal is given to the public. The
railroad commissioners must stand
impartially between the people and
the corporations under their super
vision. Influenced neither by clamor
or by power they must see that JUS
tice is done to both.
"But the great corporations in
Georgia must keep out of politics.
They must not be allowed by hired
political agents to dominate or con-
troll legislation or administration.
eve must pass the anti-lobbying
bill and make it impossible for any
special interest to hire men from

'The charge that any progressive
democrat opposes the investment OF
foreign capital in Georgia is absurd.
Foreign capital has always been vel
coined to Georgia, and it has always
received full protection in Georgia.
We should encourage every legltl-
mate enterprise and work for its
success.
"The measures embodied in the
Macon platform, so important to the
welfare of the state, caused bitter
contests and made ugly wounds.
''Now the value of this legislation
is gradually being realized even by

There seems TO be an epidemic
of burglaries throughout the State.
Most of the jobs show evidence
of workman.like skill, so that it
is pretty certain that there are
one or more organized gangs of
"yeggmen" who are con6ning their
attention to this part of the
country for the time being, at
least. Due West, Edgefield, Ef-
6ngham, Rartsville, walhalla and

of their depredations and there
is no telling where the erratic
instincts of these predatory free
