Of Manhattan that have gone beyond the
possibility Of economical repair. For
1912 I have asked for a bUdgetary al

This statement. made last night TO A
Tribune reporter, embraces the gist Of
Borough President McAneny's response
to the complains and attacks that have
been made upon his Office because Of the
torn up condition Of the streets OF Man
haitian. He said that he found when he
went into office that Of the 443 miles Of
asphalt paved streets in this borough at
least 50 per cent should be replaced with
new and modern pavement, that he con-
cluded that such reravins was the only
economical way 10 treat the street ques-
tion In Manhattan, and that if he could
carry through that policy il would result
in numerous. though scattered spots OF
the street areas Of Manhattan being torn
up for the next two summers.
Mr. McAneny was told that a man
from the West who comes 20 New York
every year. after looking about the city
on q recent visit. said. What are you
doing TO New York? II is like chaos"
and that he was being held responsible.
That impression might strike a visitor
during the last year he said. because

process has had as much 20 do with the

into the torn up section Of Fifth avenue.

Manhattan. These streets are the up
town business centres, the crosstown
arteries and the show streets. a visitor

office and found that the Legacy was lit

WILSON ADMIRERS
 SEEKING ACTION

Atlanta, November 12.-(Special. .)--An- other effort will be made to arrange for the voters of Georgia to express their opinion as to the best candidate for Pres ident of the United States on the demo- cratic ticket.
 X number of leading Georgians. and particularly those who are interested in the prospective candidacy of Gov. Wood TOW Wilson of New Jersey. are anxious that presidential primary be held in this state, confident that Governor Wilson would get Georgia's vote and that an ex- pression from Georgia would have great weight with the national democratic con- vention when it meets.
 The plan failed so far as the primary of December is concerned, the state eX- ecutise committee refusing to provide for an expression at that time.
 Those interested in the project, how ever, believe that such an expression can easily be had in the general election for governor in January; that is the formal election which will Joe held to elect the choice of the primary for governor and commissioner of commerce and labor
 The state committee will meet again on December IF to consolidate the primary vote and declare the result, and at that time it will be urged to arrange for a primary in connection with the regular election in January, at which the voters may express their preference for pres- idential candidate. It would, at least be an interesting expression, and there are many who would like to see the question put before the state.

CATTLE RAISING ]. 2. . BECOMESPOPULAR Central Alabama NAdmira. bly Adapted for Raising
 Flooded Live Stock

Selma, November l2.-(SpeciaD .--Uncon- scientiously but at the same time indus triously the rural citizens of central Ala bama are developing an industry which within the next few years will cause this section of Alabama to become as famous as Kentucky and Tennessee for the rais- ing and breeding of standard bred and thoroughbred horses; Illinois, Indiana and Iowa for the high class of cattle, pigs, sheep and such other live stock. 7A~
 The growing and harvesting of cotton win become a by-product of the. soil Of this section. Tn it's. place that other i'm dustry the demand. of which Is ever in creasng, will take the place of cotton growing. fHsi-' ,tfip esssl'
 Ir.. substance such was the assertions made by progressive farmer of central Alabama just day ago There Is no doubt but the prediction made will come true and that within the next few years central Alabama will become one of the greatest countries in the world for the breeding and raising of blooded stock.
 Throughout the black belt the rural citizens are going into the cattle business on large scale every year. It is prov ing a paying industry for those who are engaging in it and as the years go by the profits of the business will become the greater. f-A4
 Tn the fields of Dallas county close to Selma there now roam cattle of the fin- est strain of blood. Their pedigrees can be traced back for years and years and 10 the time before they were imported to this country by the early settlers.

WANT GEORG|A'S
 SEAL DESTROYED  Atlanta Ad Men Object to the Present State
 Emblem

Atlanta, November 12.-(Special)-De- claring Georgia's great seal misrepre- sentation and farce, the Ad Mems club of Atlanta has made demand for its de- struction and the substitution of new great seal In its place.
 Ie necessary to bring this about, the Atlanta ad men propose to make a po- litical issue of 1t. They think, however, that the end may be accomplished by q little we'll directed publicity.
 The. chief objection made to the present great seal is that It's impression is illegi- ble So far as the present designs upon its tWoqfacesf are concerned, the ad men are well. content. It is doubtful if Geor gia could have better or more appro- priare sea, engraved.
 |T But the ad men declare they are op- posed to- misrepresentation in any form, and they hold that a seal whose impress sion cannot be read fails to represent is therefore misrepresentative and should be done away with.
 Tlle resolution adopted calls upon the legislature to have a new seal engraved with the same devices as at present, pre- scribed in the eighty-first section Of the state code. Jocularly, the ad men, call ing attention to the doubt about the is- sues in the present campaign for gov ernor, urge the candidates to make the ro-engraving of the state seal the real is- sue of the campaign.
 The present seal is made of silver and consists of two dies, each of which makes an impression upon circular piece of wax. Two of these pieces of wax are aused and a ribbon run between them, by which the seal is attached to the state document.
 This seal is more than 100 years old and if the inscription upon it were not we'll known, ii would be practically Im- possible to decipher 1t now. During the war N. c. Barnett, then secretary of state, hid the great seal In the tail pocket of his coat, and buried the coat in a pig sty near Milledseyille, then the capital of Georgia.
 The Atlanta ad men disclaim any desire to change the design of the great seal of the state in any respect or particular; they only want one that will clearly and unnistakably represent what it stands for, and they are determined to get it if they have to make a political issue of it.

 There will be no formalities about the change. Governor Hoke smith will write out his resignation. briefly, and send it In to Secretary of State Philip Cook MT. Cook will then notify President Sla- ton of the senate that there Is a va cancy in the office of governor. and that 1t is up to him to take charge.
 Of course, Mr. Slaton will be apprised beforehand, so he will be right on the spot at the. time when all this occurs And whom Governor Smith walk out as ex-governor and United States senator, MT. Saton will immediately take the oath of office, administered by the chief jus tice of the supreme court. and will take up the duties of the executive for a. pe- riod of 60 days.

Congressmen and Senators Have Practically All Set Dates for Return to Washington for
 Winter Session
BY WALTER HARPER

Washington, November 12-tSpecial.)-- Business will begin to pick up with rush in Washington this week. Already & number of senators and congressman are struggling in and squaring them selves for what promises to be the most interesting session of Congress since the war.
 The last of the week will probably find at least 100 members of the two houses in town along with their secretaries and other followers.
 Henry Clayton of Alabama is expected to arrive about next Wednesday. He is chairman of the judiciary committee or the House, one of the most important of that body, and he will have considerable preliminary work to look after before the opening of the session. He will probably be accompanied by J. J. Speight of Eu- faula, clerk of the committee.
 Mir. Clayton's suite of offices in the house office building has been enlarged by the acquisition of one additional room since the close of the special session. He now has three of the most desirable rooms in the building on the third floor in the northeast corner. The rooms Of the ways and means conn., mittee and the private office of Chairman oscar Underwood are on the same floor, but on the opposite corner of the build- ing.
