TO FIGHT LIQUOR IN
GEORGIA NEXT YEAR
Laying Plans For a Power
full Campaign.
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

Atlanta, Ga, May 16.-That the Ii
quor forces of Georgia have already
commenced to lay plans for a power
full campaign in 1911 to get the pro-
hibition law erased from the statute
books is the firm belief of the lead
ers Of the Georgia Anti-Saloon League.
They will not tackle the legisla-
ture this summer" said ]. u. Rich
ards, secretary of the league, be
cause at the last session the Iegisla-
ture went on record as favoring the
prohibition law. But when the time
comes for candidates to enter the
field next year the liquor men are
going to put as many men in the race
as they can, and when the general
assembly meets in 1911 they are going
to concentrate all their influence on
both houses in an effort to get the
law repealed. Meanwhile, the Anti
Saloon League is merely waiting
as we will not make a move until they
do"
At the state convention of the Flor
ida Anti-Saloon League, which meets
at Jacksonville next week, M. Rich
ards will make a complete and thor
ough report on tie prohibition law in
Georgia, covering every phase of its
effect. He is now right busy compil-
ing and getting in shape a desk full
of data obtained by correspondence
with state, county and municipal au,
thorities in every section of the state.
His figures show, he claims, that
drinking and crimes directly caused
by drunkenness have been reduced so
per cent. in Georgia by prohibition,
and that pauperism has been decreas-
ed substant; ally. The law is as we'll
enforced, he declares, as any other
proEtbitive law touching on moral
questions. He believes it is better
enforced than the law against con-
cealed weapons. The law is on the
statute books for good, and he pre-
diets that any effort to have it re-
pealed or modified will fail.

THE RAMBLER WON
THE STEEP HILL CLIMB
Hill Was Mile Long and With Sharp
Turns.

If there is today any doubt as 20
the amility of the modern automobile
of better quality to climb a steep hill
at high speed, the people of the Pa
cific coast are going to find it out.
While in the East and Middle West
the hill climbing abilities of most cars
are generally accepted, and medium
and steady speed on the hills is most
to be desired, high speed was attain
ed in tile first annual hill climb of the
Sacramento, California, Automobile
Association last week
l.. B. Harvey, driving the New Ram
bier, was the star performer, winning
the two majo events on the card, in
Guiding the free-for-all class, in this
event, climbing the hill in 1;511-5, the
best time of the day.
In this contest the Rambler defeat
ed all cars, even those listing at a
much higher price.
The hill, which is situated in the
heart of the town, is mile lond with
a grade ranging from 8 to IS per cent.
and includes two sharp turns which
bothered the drivers somewhat.

MANY ARESOPPOSED
TO CHAMP, CLARK
Don't Want Him as Next
Speaker of House. =

Washington, D c., May 16.-The
democrats of the house of representa-
tives, cohesive and harmonious this
session to an unheard of degree, are
finding themselves unable to stand the
long strain. The clouds are gathering
and before long the air will be full
of fists and language. Already thirty
four of the minority members are
pledged not to vote for Champ Clark
for speaker, and supporters of oppos-
ing candidates are working like beay-
ers to increase this number
The row which threatens to assume
VIOLENT proportions before the present
session of congress ends is direct
result of the assumption on the part
of Champ Clark's friends that the pic
turesque Missourian will be the next
speaker of the house of representa-
tives, and that he will be elected with
out OPPOSITION.
Those members of the minority, who
do not entertain this view of the sit
uation, say that although Mr.. Clark
is the titular leader of the party in
the house, the position does not by any
means carry with it the speaker
ship.
THE democratic party IS full of am
bilious men," said a prominent demo-
crat today, "and several whose friends
think they possess the exact qualities
essential in a good presiding officer
All the gentlemen whose friends res
gard them as being well equipped for
the speakership, as Mr.. Clark IN any
respect, and better in the TECHNICAL
ties of parliamentary law, may not
become active candidates for a while
yet, but it is certain that there will
be three, possibly four, members in
the contest for the prize, with the
minority leader"
The real opposition to Mr. Clark by
a faction of the minority is based on
the fact that he is a close personal
friend of William ]. Bryan, and is
radical

A MUCH NEEDED PRAYER
FOR THE MUCKRAKERS
ShOaId Work in Own Yard Says Blind
Chaplain of House.

Washington, D c., May 16.-Rey.
Henry N. Couden, the blinl chaplain
OF the house of representatives, as
tonished the members of that body
last week by praying for divine guild
ance to lead muckrakers to rake be-
fore their own doors" before attend
ing to the litter in front of their neigh
boris homes.
The chaplain, casting his sightless
eyes over the house, said:
Help US as individuals to strive
earnestly to cast out the beam from
our own eye that we may see clearly
to pull the mote our of our brothers
eye. If we are to become muclrakers,
help us to rake before our own door,
and if we have time then let us help
our neighbor. Since cant and hypoc.
risy are the most henious OF all sins,
deliver us, we pray Thee, from them"
