third brought the train to a stop When
the robbers reached the express car they
forced l. S. Kerr, the messenger. and J.

Of trunks, and then blew open two big
safes with nitroglycerine. They scooped
the contents nito a flour bag, and, with

Antagonism between the manage

the clash between DE- DAILY and DR..
Smith. From statements made by both
physicians it is apparent that the two

no intention of pulling the trigger of

IN TENSE FEELING
IN MAYORS RACE

Steady streams Of visitors into the
campaign headquarters Of the two
mayoralty candidates marked the prog
ress of the campaign today
Feeling between the Woodward and
Chambers factions is intense Many
workers are busy on both sides. Indi-
cations are that the fight will reach a
very bitter stage within a few days.
Predictions of leading politicians are
that q second primary will poll a lighter
vote than the first. because there is but
one race, while there were three hot
contests in the first primary,
Expect Only $500 Votes.
The average Of the estimates of many
parties representing both factions Is
about 1900. The vote in the first pri-
mary was $500.
John II. Welch, Woodward sup
porter. wrote letter to The Georgian
today insisting that the Democratic
executive committee have one Wood
ward supporter as manager at every
voting precinct in the city. The COM
mittee provides for two managers and
three clerks at every voting place.
No reflection is intended on the
managers and clerks of the last pri-
mary" he wrote, but It is strenuously
insisted that it would not be fair to
have all Chambers men or all Wood
ward men as the managers and clerks. -
Wards Are Organizing.
Mr. Chambers said he had reports
from various wards in the city and that
larger campaign organizations were be.
ing rapidly perfected The new ward
organizations are an outgrowth of the
big citizens meeting held in the cam
paign headquarters yesterday.
The Seventh ward committee was or
ganized at a mass meeting last night.

the way DR.. Smith answered the

the attitude of sanitarium manage
ment;" is what DR.. DAILY had to say.

would back his assertions that the
management was bad, if called upon
to do so.

the hospital, Dr. Smith said:
THE hospital represents an expendi-
ture Of but $4,000 land it is doing as
much work as otheY/institutions which
cost the city 100000, I will admit we
do not have room for many Of the pa
tents that apply for treatment, but /
am certain, as head of the institution,
that the management is not bad"
The Battle Hill sanitarium, built
Jointly by the city and county, is under
the management Of the council COM
mittee on hospitals and charities, Of
which F. j. Spratling is chairman. DR..
Claude A. Smith, city bacteriologist;
