Candidates For Governor

Atlanta, Ca, June 17.-Although
the names of Attorney-General T. B.
Fielder. Congressman I. w. Hard
wick, Murphy Gambler, Judge W. A.
Covington, DR.. L. G. Hardman and
Judge C. H. Brand, of Athens, have
been mentioned" in connection with
the Governorship, most people be-
lieve that there will be no more en-
tries and that the voters will cast
their ballots in the August primary
for one of two men-sJohn M. Slaton,
of Atlanta, or Joe Hill Hall, of Ma
con.
Some think that the final dispo-
sition of the Tippins bill will have
some bearing on the possible candi-
bacy of a straight ont prohibition
candidate. If the bill is passed at
the summer session and it is vetoed
by Governor Brown, as many think
he will do, it may bring out a pro-
hibition candidate. This is all purely
speculative, however. and nothing
may come of it. 1t is just now
a part of the current gossip anent
politics. However, the leaders on
both sides of the question. in the
main, are opposed to making it an
issue in the gubernatOrial campaign.
One of the most gratifying things
to majority of the people of the
state is the absence of any factional
or old-time partisan politics in the
present race, such as tore the state
assunder in recent years. That much
is a distinct gain at least.

The Colonel Sounds The
Battle Cry for His Follow

Chicago, June 17.-Theodore
Roosevelt made fighting speech
tonight before great gathering
of his followers in the Auditorium.
Never before has there been
such crowd in the Auditorium
and the crowd was as full of fight
as the colonel.
Colonel Roosevelt dealt scorch-
ingly with the conduct of the
national committee and his sting
ing sentences caused his hearers
to shout, ''Give it to them. We
won't be robbed.''
''WE WON'T BE ROBBED.
"No," Numbered the colonel,
"we won't be robbed. The people
must not be the servants of lot
eff crooked politicians. "
eve have come to the parting
of the ways" said Colonel Roose-
welt. "The country is on the eve
of great political changes in the
interest of social and economic
Justice and the movement cannot
be stopped by delegate stealing by
discredited bossed." The doors
opened at Z O'Clock and an hour
later the former president was in
troduced by Alexander r. Revell.
The Auditorium did not begin
to hold the crowd which overflow
ed into the street for several blocks
about the building. The crowd
was in sympathy with the colonel
and every fighting word he utter
ed brought fighting response
from his hearers.
