Pure From Start to Finish.

There is perhaps nothing in daily use
In the home in which purity Is so Inn
portant as it is in baking powder. On
Its purity depends tho purity of the ma
terials used. the success of the bakings,
etc. And possibly the one thing that
has served to make Calumet Baking
Powder so much of favorite with the
critical cooks of the country. Is the fact
that Calumet is pure from start to finish:
You can rely on Calumets purity Tor
the simple reason that every ounce of
the materials used is first tested by ex-
perienced chemists and then mixed with
the utmost care to insure its uniformity.
And standing In the can or changes OF
weather, ETC., cannot alter 1t in any re-
spect.
But perhaps the best thing of all. is
the fact that Calumet never fails. Every
baking in which Calumet is used. is sure
to come from the oven as light and as
fluffy as you can wish. This not only
means wholesome, tasty foods-but a
big economy as well. Try Calumet next

CHICAGO, Aug. -Strategists for
the coming political battle gathered in
Chicago today. Before the end of the
week the presidential campaign Of three
big parties Republican, Democratic
and Progressive-wil be under way.
The center of the fight will be in Chi

REASONS FOR POTTLE'S REELECTION
Given by Representative Citizens from
Every Section of the State

That it is manifestly unfair to ask
Judge Pottle to give up the position Ia
another at this time appears when we
recall that the office was rendered to him
without solicitation on his part, and that
being urged by his friends to underta Ike
this work he gave up a large and Iucra-
tive practice; and yet. now within less
than year. he is asked to give up the
judgeship, Notwithstanding his service
has been so satisfactory.
While there is no law against all three
of the judges of this court being selected
from the same county or from the same
section of the state, still it is the part
of wisdom that the Judges should be Sc
lected, so far as possible, from different
sections. 1t should be kept in mind that
there are a number of questions of law
constantly arising in each section of the
state which do not arise in the others.
The practice in the cities is very different
from the practice in the country counties
the city lawyer may he wholly unfamiliar

arising in country practice, and vice

The following address has been issued
to the people Of the state of Georgia by
a committee of prominent citizens. rep
resenting the various sections of the
state:
At the primary election to be held on
August u, 1912. Hon J. r. Potte will he
a candidate for collection to the posi-
ton as Judge of the court of appeals The
undersigned, acting for ourselves, but also
as a committee selected by his friends
from the various sections of the state, feel
that our acquaintance with Judge Pottle
and with his qualifications, attachments
and work justiies US in submitting to your
consideration the following statement and
reasons why, In our opinion, il is to the
best interest Of the people of this state
that he should be retained in his present
position;
First and foremost should be mentioned
his eminent qualifications for the position.
He is a lawyer of unusual ability. He has
the judicial temperament in a marked
degree. His career has been such as to
give him special training for the charac-
ter of work required in this office. For a
number of years he was one of the law
clerks in the supreme court, and he fol-
lowed this with several years of active
and varied practice; and at the time Of
his appointment was universally recog-
nized as one of the most upright, sblIfuI
and successful lawyers in the stale.
While he has been on the bench for only
a little more than six months, close
examination of the opinions he has rem
dered will show that we are fully justified
in the high estimate which We have placed
upon his ability as a Judge.
We further commend him as polished
gentleman of high personal character.
strict integrity and unusual Intellectual
attachments.
1t seems to us that the present oppo-
sition to him is very untimely. 1t has
been the custom--a good custom as we see
il. and one that commends itself to all
fair-minded thinking people, that an APP
pointee to an office of this character
should have the opportunity of perfecting
his career and of showing what is in him
before he is called upon to contest for
his position; and especially should this
be true of one who shows so much prom
Use Of usefulness. and against whom
naught can he said. as is true in the case
of Judge Pottle. The present opposition
to Judge Pottle is against all precedent

To RECALL
T.C.bETTERTON
Chattanooga Voters Circulate
Petition Against City Com
missioner.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, Aug. "a
Greater political excitement than has
existed since the commission form of
government advocates ousted the old
ring which controlled Chattanooga
has been precipitated here by, the APP
pearance of a petition asking the re-
call of T. c. BettertOn commissioner
of fire and police, formerly north
Georgia Methodist preacher, in accord
ance with a section of the charter of
the city which provides that any COM
missioner may be removed from office
if $40 qualified voters sign a recall pc
tition. and an election is held to name
his successor. This it the first time
that an attempt has been made to eN-
ercise the recall under the new city
charter.
The appearance Of the petition is a
result of the recent race for sheriff of
Hamilton county. when Sam A. Conner
Republican. was elected over w. B
Cleage, Democrat. largely through the
activity, so it is alleged, of Commits
sioner Betterton, Democrat.
1t is charged that the commissioner
used the influence of his office to the
point where he exercised official OPP
preston over large part of the Ham
ilton county electorate in accomplish
ing the defeat of Cleage.
The petition asks Commissioner Bet
terton's recall upon six counts-that he
forced employees of the city to take a
pernicious activity in the recent cleo
ton; that he engaged in such activity
in person; that his administration has
been arbitrary and tyrannical; that his
personal conduct has been abusive and
prOfane; that his associations with GER
tain special interests have been to the
detriment of the city; and that his exc
cution of the law has been lax and
partial.
The most serious charge against the
commissioner is that he passed the
word to all the near beer dealers the
day before the election that he would
close them in accordance with the state
prohibition laws If Conner was not
elected. This charge, as we'll as the
others. is denied by him

TECH PER|LED
BY CUT IN HOUSE
Donations and Active Financial
Support Endangered as Ap-
preparation Bill Is Killed.

Future expansion of Georgia Tech is
imperiled by the niggardIy policy of the
Georgia house of repre- sentatives to-
ward the school, according to a state
ment made today by Dr. K G. Mathe-
son, president of the institution.
Thousands of dollars in donations
and active financial support of persons
recently interested in the work at the
school probably will be withdrawn or at
/ least held up until the state lawmakers
show a disposition to care for their own
institution.
These donations and this support
were in sight until the house refused to
pass bill appropriating $4,000 for the
enlargement of a heating and power
plant, Of which there was immediate
necessity at the college.
DR., Matheson Disappointed
Last hopes of the house recOnsidering
its negative action on the appropria-
ton bill were abandoned today when
representative McElreath informed
President Matheson that there was no
possibility Of the measures passage at
the present session
DR.. Mathescn frankly admitted his
disappointment and fears for the fu-
ture, as results of the watch dog of the
treasury" attitude of the legislature.
"Of course" said Techs president.
the failure of the hill will hamper our
work this year. The heating plant was
badly needed. The necessity for more
power is absolutely imperative if our
work is to go forward or even hold it's
own.
"BUt the houses policy has had even
la more serious effect Persons of large
financial interests had become inter
ested in Tech. I had hoped for sub
stantial dona tons and powerful sup
port and aid from them in the imme-
date future.
Bound to Lose Interest"
This action~+s bound to cause them
to lose heart and interest in the college.
They will ason that if the state ig-
nores the school, its own property.
there is little reason for others to
evince any great interest. In this way
look for the effect of the houses ac-
ton to be more far-rea ching than the
simple Withholding of the appropria
ton would suggest.
1--WE had $4,000 assured us to be
used on the power pl>nt, but without
the states assistance this money would
be useless. 1t can not be tied up until
another year passes and another legis-
Iature is elected.
81 take it that we will go on working
though, and perhaps the next legisla-
ture will be more generous or at least
will realize our imperative needs"

Pop CONVENTION

81. LOUIS, Aug. l2.-That the Pop

tomorrow, will neither nominate a tick
ct of its own nor indorse the ticket of
any other party was the prediction
made today by National Chairman
James H. Ferris, of Joliet. H., who ar
rived today. Ferris said he believed
the voters should be left free to vote
for either Roosevelt or Wilson. The
feeling expressed by the delegates who
have gathered, he said. was that the
party should not take up the cause of
either candidate.
The tusionists in our party have
either joined issues With the Progress
slVe party or have identified themselves
with the Democrats" said Chairman
Ferris. In my opinion, it would be
wise for MS to draft a strong platform.
rea1ilrming the planks adopted in St
Louis in April, 1905 Our monetary
plank, in which We claim that the is
suance of money is function of the
government, and should not be dele
gated to corporation or individual. will
be affirmed. The legislation gives con-
gress alone the power to issue money
and regulate the value thereof
we WILL of course, reaffirm initiative
and referendums.
we should leave it to our voters to
ballot, and we should not determine
between Roosevelt and Wilson.

bly, will not attend our cOnclave, as they
