Declares That 1t Is Under Machine
Control, and There Will Be No
Primary to Elect a Senator.
Declaring that the present state
executive committee is a canned
organization, Hon. M. J. Yeomans of
Dawson, former chairman of the
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee, while passing Atlanta a few
days ago gave out a red-hot inter
view in which he asserted positively
that the powers that be" have got
ten in their fine work and there will
be no senatorial primary and the
people allowed to fill the four-year
unexpired term.
IF We had done such a thing as
days of alleged ring rule, "denun-
days of alleged ring rule" "denun-
citation from the stump would not
be enough for us. We would have
been fortunate if we had escaped
the actual process of mob law"
Declaring he believes the powers
that be- were aware of the precari-
Gus condition of Senator Clay and
were planning for emergencies he
said:
1T was determined to put the
whole matter into the hands of a
close corporation, and in order that
no disagreeable questions might be
asked and no unseemly discussion
take place in the committee the plan
of selecting a canned committee
was agreed upon, a committee which
for the first time in the history of
Georgia should have no minority
representatives and which could be
absolutely depended upon to be
heard from only when the can was
opened. F."

Farewell Remarks.
In adjourning the council sine die
Mayor Marlin said:
Gentlemen of the City Council:
The time has arrived for us to place
into the hands of our successors the
affairs of the city government, but
before we adjourn allow me to call
your attention to a few things which
do not think it amiss to mention
You see from the auditors report
that although the expense of our
city government has been heavy dur
ing the past year, caused by many
and varied improvements, we are
in better condition financially than
We were at the beginning of 1910.
You will find from the reports for
the years of 1909 and 1910 that the
street department has had to neces-
sarily draw from the treasury con-
siderably more money than in for
mer years, having laid in the two
years sos feet of stone curbing,
built several up-to-date bridges, i'm
proving our highways, buying drags,
plows, mules, sewer pipes, etc; that
the salaries of the officers of the city
have been increased, as we'll as other
additional expenses incident to
growing city. Yet, although proper
ty valuations have not kept pace
with our growing expenses, our tax
rate has remained the same for the
past several years. You have at all
times guarded we'll the interest of
your city, and l am sure you have
the hearty commentator of all.
We have one of the most up-to-
date fire departments and one of the
best equipped water and light plants
of any city of our size in Georgia.
We have clerk who cannot be ex-
celled, a street superintendent who
cannot be surpassed, chief of the
fire department who is devoted to
his work, and police force of which
/ know you are all proud.
Now, gentlemen, permit me to ex-
press to you my gratitude for the
manner in which you have
the affairs of your city gov
eminent. During the time we have
labored together our relations have
been extremely pleasant.
Now, wishing for you and yours
bright, happy and prosperous year
we stand adjourned sine die.

MAYOR BELLS FIRST MATINEE
Fined Prisoner 500, and Said He
Wouldn't Be So Lenient Again,


Wouldn't Be SO Lenient Again.
Mayor Bell held his first police
court matinee Monday afternoon,
and signalized his advent on the
bench as a dispenser of justice by
imposing upon the only prisoner,
John Bird, a sentence of $4,000 or
so days on the streets. Bird had
offended against the peace and good
order of the city by cursing and
acting in a boisterous and obstrep-
erous manner.
Mayor Bell told Bird that as 1t
was the first time he had been be-
fore him he would 'let him off
light" this time, and warned him
that should he have occasion to
hand him out bit of justice again
he need not expect to be dealt with
SO leniently.

The high yield of wheat and oats
as compared with eastern farms
should not tempt the irrigationist to
raise them except as rotation crops
and for feed. There are ten million
acres Of dry farming land in Idaho
alone which can surpass his land In

while in the production of potatoes

white slavery has ever been exposed
in this part of the state for some
time, according to the information
that has been placed with the author
tiles. Griffin is charged with court
ing the girl and later forcing her into
an immoral life and then demanding
the money secured from her shame.
The details are said to be repulsive.
The case will probably be placed
in the hands Of the grand jury and
true bill returned against the pris-
oner. The evidence is of such a ma
ture as to be most startling and prov
ed to be complete shock to those
who later became familiar with the
case and conducted an investigation
in this and other States. It is alleged
that the girl in the present case is
not the first Griffin has forced into an
immoral. life. He was under arrest
at two different times on a statutory
charge. Griffin formerly resided at
Nampa, where his parents are now
said to live.

WOMEN WILL ELECT LOS

Los Angeles, Oct. 2S.-Women will

of this city. All of the candidates for
that Office have now given up all hope
of securing complete majority at

efforts on the general election, which

they can and will vote at the general
