BEN BLACKBURN SAYS
STOP PAINTING ATLANTA
AS A MODERN SODOM

AS it is, Atlanta has been advertised
to the world as a modern Sodom,
whereas there is probably not a city of
it's size that was better regulated be-
fore this discussion began.
Whatever may be said of the mis-
takes of MIR, Woodward am not his
apologist and am not a member of his
committee-it is a fact that his cam
palgn letters, so far as ! have read, are
in striking contrast to those written by
his opponent. So it is not Mr.. Wood
ward or his committee that has Haunted
hurtful information about Atlanta to
the outside world The responsibility
must rest upon them who have used
this questionable method of campaign
ing to encompass him in defeat.
The effort to make 1t appear other
wise but impresseS the Biblical quota
ton: Woe unto them that are wise in
their own eyes, and prudent in their
own ConCeit."
The Pharisaical bearing of some of
them who are directing Mr.. Chambers
campaign, as exhibited in the unchar-
liable criticism of those voters who do
not see the question as they present it.
is suggestive OF an inspired story:
1.-TWO men went up into the temple to
pray-the one a Pharisee and the other
publican.
THE Pharisee prayed thus with him
as other men are, extortioners, unjust
and adultererS, or even as this pub
hcan.'
And the publican, standing afar off,
would not so much as lift up his eyes
unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,
and said: God. be merciful to me, a
sinner
Christ adds q tell you this man
the publican-went down to his house
justified. rather than the other"
In all kindness, l commend this beau
tifully natural story to the Incorporate
and uncharitable controversialst-an
this:
IF you forgive not men their tres
passes, neither will your Father forgive
you"
The people may well view with just
alarm the tendency of some of our
ministers to use the church and the
pulpit in a way calculated to emhitter
those whose violence should be held in
gentle restraint.
1t is an awful thought that good men
of the Gospel will allow themselves to
be so swayed by politico- religious zeal
as to have not even a word of charity
to utter in behalf OF a fellow man
scourged for no other reason than he
has exercised the constitutional right
of aspiring to public Office.
But the people are holding the scales
fair play still wells in the breasts of
men, and the voters of Atlanta will to-
morrow put a bride on the venomous
tongues and stay the pen Of bitterness

NAME Of PRICE IS
AMONG WINNERS
Governor Not to Commission
Him to Unexpired Term of
Hudson, However.

Governor Brown has received from
phiIip cook. secretary of state, the GER
+,6Ad election returns for state house
officers.

ooi,inp A vote sufficient to elect, az

,o certified the name of James d. Price

n,bomas G. Hudson" He received SOP
votes.
The governor will not commission Mr.
price however notwithst landing the
ratification to him of the Price vote
for the unexpired term of Hudson, for
he holds as he has publicly announced
the view that there is no vacancy in
-he unexpired term of Hudson, and that
q successor to Commissioner Conner
can not be named until the legislature
has met and canvassed the October
vote.
The governor has no information as
to what course Price proposes to take.
He may or may not ask for the COM
mission to the uneXpired term of Hud-

Whatever Prices intentions may be,
however it clearly il, in the opinion Of
politicians. Prices next move, if there

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. IA, 1912.

L
To the Editor of The Georgian:
One could not have read with dis
eliminating eye the arguments to the
voter in behalf of the two candidates
for mayor in Sundays papers without
being impressed with marked differ
ence in controversial tone.
The committee representing Mr..
Woodward presented its argument in a
way to direct the attention of the voter
to his opponents reversal of position on
the sociological question, and TO a sim
pie discussion Of material needs
The committee representing MI
Chambers presented its side of the
question in a vain attempt to brow
beat the voter into tinid acceptance.
1t is probable that there has never
been a campaign, waged for municipal
or other office, in the history Of the
country. wherein SO many designs were
employed to becloud the thought, throt-
tie the expression and intimidate the
decision of the voter
And this, l may add, in deliberate
conservatism, is responsible for the pos
tive manifestation of a sentiment of
rebuke which will elect Mr. Woodward
on Tuesday.
The people of Atlanta will not have
notions of propriety beat into them by
harsh blows from men who have en-
uduBSISu Stdnuol Us VI uSIlCdCy by IUelT
own broad references TO social evils
which should have never fallen under
the eyes of innocence and purity.
The occasional miSstep of weak hu-
man nature is not near so threa tening
to that indefinable essence which is
drank in around the gentle fireside, as
is the saacious stuff that comes
through the publicity agencies of So
Geological bureaus, used as a stalking
horse for the qualification of political
ambition.
Mr.. Chambers was right in his first
answer to the gentlemen who are in
teresting themselves with mistaken zeal
in the work Of correction when he con-
tended that the suggested method of
regulation was wrong. and that "he did
not propose ever to be party to such a
procedure
But he made a mistake when later in
answer to insistent demands. he in
dorsed the proposed method of cOrrec-
ton by gentlemen whom he had so re-
Gently denounced as fanatics"
l have not one word of criticism
against the man-cheerfulIy concede
his moral tegrity-but his Vascillating
course in this matter is not helped by
unnecessary display OF personal bitter
ness.
What the people wanted was con-
test of education on lines of Atlanta's
material needs All other questions
should have been reserved for deliber-
ate solution at the hands of the home
lover, at time when personal political
ambitions were not involved in the set

WASHINGTON. d. c.. oct 14.-In

out openly for Woodrow Wilson, and
advises all progressives to vote for the
Democratic candidate for president.
In his statement, Senator Works bit
terly condemns the Progressive party
Of California. and affirms that the third
party obtained possession of that state
through fraud and deception.
In announcing his intention 10 vote
for Governor Wilson, Senator Works
says that he does in effect throw all
personal ambition to the winds; that
the Progressives of California, his for
mer friends, have already denounced
him as a traitor, and are urging him to
resign his seat in the senate.
Wilson is a real and sincere pro-
gressiye,' said Senator Works. He has
proved it by his course and conduct as

is running IN a sane, progressive plat

BLEEDS TO DEATH
IN POLICE STATION
Negro Dies of Wound Which
Was Thought at First to Have
Been of Trifling Nature.

Louis Williams. colored, thirty-eight
years old, of 210S East Main Street,
bled to death yesterday morning at
1890 o'clock while prisoner IN a
cell at the First Police Station. An
hour before he appeared well and was
given drink OF water.
Williams was arrested late Saturday
night by Patrolman Brantley for be-
ing drunk. AT the station it was found
ne had been cut in the upper part OF
his breast. Dr. H. T.. Hawkins, City
Hospital ambulance surgeon, was
summoned and declared the wound to
be trifiing. Williams was unable to
tell who stabbed him.
The negro had been dead some time
when the fact was discovered by a cell
mate. who yelled for help. An officer
on duty saw at a glance that the man
had died, and summoned Coroner
Taylor. \ brief examination by him
did not show any cause for his death.
The wound appeared trivial. He de-
cided TO perform an autopsy and dis
covered that Williams mad he'd more
than a quart internally. which caused
his death.
