S|DELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
BY JAMES B. NEVIN.

safely for the Democrats.
When all is said and done, it gets
back to the point the governor raises
the Democratic vote must turn out in
force on election day. 1t must turn out
not only to make Wilson and Marshalls
triumph sure, but overwhelming.
In between national and state cleo
tons, the people of south Georgia find
time to sandwich much politics of more
immediate interest.
Boston. for instance-sure, there is

Is nothing that stirs up a bigger row in
south Georgia than for somebody to
undertake the infringement of bovine
rights.
In south Georgia the COW is queen %
all she surveys, and her rights there
are none to dispute-successfully, any
way.
Judge Joel Branham, of Rome, nestor
Of the north Georgia bar, and one of
Georgia's grand old men, is in Atlanta
today
1t has been good many years since
the judge sat upon the superior court
bench, but in all those years he has
changed very little. His disposition
and nature is as kindly and as opti-
mistic today as it was in the long ago.
when he was in all the vigor and enthu
siasm OF robust manhood.
Although getting we'll along toward
so, Judge Branham still is actively en-
gagged In the practice of his profession.
He has just returned from two
weeks stay in Washington, and he
says all the politicians are guessing
Wilson to win, by wide margin.
In the last presidential election,
when Mr. Bryan was pitted against
Mr.. Taft, the vote in Georgiaedivided
as follows: Democrats, 72,413; Repub
lcans. 1852; Populists, 1860, and
Prohibitionists, 1853
In making figures on this years cleo
ton, therefore, Mr.. Thomas e. Watson's
vote of 16,969. accorded him last time,
Will have to be taken into account
From all over Georgia come reports
that the Watson vote is following Mr..
Watson's lead again this year, and will
go to Roosevelt.
If even so many as ten or twelve
thousand of them go that way, it may
affect the result profoundly-particu-

The Wilson and Marshall ticket must
get a majority over all the other can
ddates combined or the state legisla-
ture will be called in extraordinary SEES
sion to name electors. This would i'm
pose an expense of from $4,000 to $10,-
900 upon the treasury. The situation
certainly calls for every Democrat to go
to the polls.
Lewis Smith Bull Moose treasurer
for Floyd county, is in Atlanta today.
Mr.. Smith lives in Rome and keeps
close tab on what is going on politically
and particularly has he kept tab on
things this year.
He>says Roosevelt will get from $50
to 1000 votes In Floyd county.

candidate for the presidency has
large and special claim upon Georgia's
generosity in the present contest.
Governor Brown, as he explained in a
formal communication to the press,
given out several days ago, thinks 1t
very much in order for all citizens who
supported Underwood in the primary
campaign to rally now to Wilson and
Marshall The primary fight was, in
the executive mind, a lively little family
row-nothing more. Now that Wilson
has been made the head of the family,
the governor thinks the members
thereof should back him to an everlast-
ing finish.
If Georgia casts anything like her
possible Democratic vote, the victory
for Wilson and Marshall will be con-
elusive.
1t will not do, however-and the gov
ernor emphasizes this-to overlook the
fact that the Republicans. both OF the
Taft and the Roosevelt persuasion, are
going to vote-they will go to the polls.
Between them they will make a brave
showing Indeed it is not too much to

this year will be the heaviest cast in
Georgia since Reconstruction.
Governor Brown thinks Georgia
should take no chance whatever on the
Democratic majority next Tuesday fall
ing in any way proportionately below
what it should be--and may so easily
be.
1t is merely question of the Demo-
cratic vote turning out and putting its
ballot in the box
And it is the patriotic duty of every
Democrat to cast his ballot for Wilson
and Marshall that Governor Brown at
this time particularly emphasizes.
The general impression seems to be
that the larger Wilson and Marshall
vote is to come from south Georgia, and
1.-THE larger Roosevelt vote is to come
! from north Georgia. The Taft vote will
! loom not particularly large in any one
/ section as compared with another.
Middle Georgia is the fighting ground
the missionary territory of all shades
of political opinion.
surprisingly heavy Roosevelt vote
in that section undoubtedly would cut
significant figure in the completed
returns
The preponderance of opinion is ia
vorable to a full Wilson and Marshall
vote in middle Georgia, however-and

But there was no chaperone, and the
guests were compelled to remain in the

heavy hearts, followed as the negro

challenge to the willy mammal.
Before the dogs had fairly crossed the
golf course they had struck a scent,
and within a half mile they had freed

other was brought down. Returning
toward the club house, a third was
added TO the traditional feed sack car

CHANCE FOR OKLA
TIES IN AUSTRALIA

The following report from Consul
General John P. Bray, Sydney appear
ing in Consular Reports, may indicate
good market for Hawaiian ohia ties
in Australia:
aThe works Department of the
States of New South Wales recently
called for a supply of railroad ties to
be used in connection with an extern
sion of the line from Wagga to Turn
barumba, this State. Over 10000 ties
were required, and despite the TACT
that the needs of the Works Depart
ment were duly advertised, no ore has
as yet made the offer to supply them.
1T would thus appear that the local
supplies of hardwood are being steadi-
II reduced, for hundreds of thousands
of hardwood ties have been end are
still being exported from this State to
the other States of the Commonwealth
as we'll as oversee, and is now bec0m-s
ing a serious question as to where the
st pplies required for local consump-
ton will be drawn from. Assuredly
there is still fair supply Of growing
timber suitable for this purpose, but il
is. only matter of time when, unless
the greatest care be taken of refores-
tation, it will ben ecessary for the
Works Department and also the Rail-
road Department to purchase their re-
quiremens from districts beyond the
State borders This condition of af-
fairs is peculiarly interesting in view.

the State are controlled and operaed
by the State Government and not by
private comnanies mr. cornorafioIis !"

BIGGEST YIELD OF
OIL THIS YEAR.

The California Oil World of Bakers
field estimates that the total output of
petroleum in California will reach be-
tween 100000 and 90,000,000 bar
rels, based upon the total for the first
six months of 1912. This gross total
for the six months is 43,716,72 bar
rels, and if the ratio continues the
same during the last six months the
total for the year will be 87,433, 404
barrels. If several big gushers should
come in, this total will be slightly in
creased to the Worlds figures.
1t is gratifying to note that there
is steady gain in shipments, not
outstanding the low prices for the
poorer quality of crude fuel oil. As
the demand for the products of Pc
troleum is constantly increasing all
over the world there will be no limit
to the industry and there will be no
such thing known as an oversupply.

The Tigers have not answered
the telegram, though there was

Another scheme, advanced by

THE BASEBALL WAR
Philadelphia, May 2o.-With
the Detroit baseball team stand
ing pat on its strike, today's
game between the Athletics and
Tigers was postponed" after a
conference between the two club
owners and President Ban John
son of the American league. i.
The outcome of the trouble is
in doubt. The players refuse to
play. Johnson refuses to lift the
bar against Cobb. The several
club owners are coming to the
support of Johnson. If necessary
team of substitutes will be re-
cruited from the other seven
teams to take the place of the
striking Tigers.
A howl~of protest is going up
against this latter proposition in
Detroit. The fans there, from
Mayor Thompson down, are sol
idly with Cobb and his mates, and
are applauding their stand.
Therefore, a substitute team
would receive little patronage
from its home town, and would
not be a drawing acrd on the
road.
A new element entered into the
controversy today. The United
States league telegraphed the
players, and asked them under
what conditions they would join
that organization. Securing the
older league stars would be a ten
strike for the infant body, and
