Who IS FINANCING
WOODROW wilson?
No One Knows Where Cam
paign Fund Comes From

(Tom Watson, in the Jeffersonian)
If you will try right hard, you can
remember that the supporters of the
New Jersey man accused Underwood
of being financed by Thomas Fortune
Ryan, of Tobacco-Trust and Traction
and Rubber-Trust fame. (You will al
so remember that Ryan and Belmont
gave Bryan $4,000, in the campaign
of 19OS.)
You will also remember that the
Wilson supporters explained away the
affront which Wilson inflicted upon
Col. Harvey, of Harper's Weekly, by
saying that Harvey was too close to ].
Morgan.
All of this was calculated to make
fine impression for Woodrow
whose popularity is that he fights
trusts everywhere save in New Jer-
sey where four-fifths of them a re
domesticated.
But what has since transpired?
Ryan is not financing Underwood,
but is the financial hacker of Wilson!
The virtuous Woodrow accepted $1O-
OOO of Ryan's Wall Street money, in
his race for governor The fact leaked
out recently, and it is undisputed.
Secondary, Wilson made an abiect
apology to Coll. Harvey, after having
positively denied that he had used the
language for which the apology was
made. Therefore, Woodrow is now as
close to ]. ~ Morgan as Harvey's
friendship can place him.
Thirdly, the Standard Oil crowd, in
Oklahoma, are Woodrow Wilson men.
That was demonstrated in the recent
convention, in which the notorious
Charles ~ Haskell figured SO promin-
emily.
You surely recall how Hearst proved
in 1908 that Haskell was Standard
Oil man; and how public sentiment
compelled Haskell to resign from
Bryan's Finance Committee Haskell
was bankrupt in purse. yet his con-
tribution to the Bryan fund was re-

JUDGE LONG IS
SOON TO RETIRE
FROM JUDGESHIP
AFTER LONG Term OF SERVICE
No AVOWCd Candidate YET
For Vacancy
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

Leesburg, Georgia, March 1S.-.
After having served as judge of the
City court here since it's establishment
in 1906, and for many years prior to
that time, when it was known as the
County court Judge Henry L. Long
has announced his intention of retir-
ing from that position at the close of
the present term He will devote his
time henceforward to the less ardu-
Gus duties of his legal practice and to
the management of his estate near
here.
The entire period during which
Judge Long has presided over tht
county, and later, the city court,
here since his assumption of the du-
ties of that office in 1892, covers a pc
riod of nearly twenty years, during
which time he has never failed of be-
ing re-appointed or reelected He
announced recently that he would not
be candidate for reelection. He will
retire from the active duties of the
judgeship to devote his time to the
less arduous duties of his legal prac-
tice and to the management of his
estate near here. Judge Long will be
SO years old in June, his advancing
age being strong factor in causing
him to relinquish the duties of the
judgeship which he has administered
so long and so effectively.
There are as yet no avowed candi-
dates to succeed Judge Long, but ru-
more are current here that there will
be two candidates in the race later.
The names of Ware G. Martin and C.
H. Beazley have been mentioned in
this connection and it is believed that
both of these gentlemen, both we'll
known members of the local bar, will
be candidates for the position in the
primary to be held here May l. Mr..
Martin, as solicitor of the City court,
made fine record, and is we'll known
throughout the entire county. Mr..
Beazley is one of the oldest members
of the local bar, having had long
and successful practice He, also,
has many friends in the county.

Both Sides viii Make Hard Fight From Opening to Clos

Today, the eve of battle in the fierce
conflict to be fought tomorrow at the
polls, finds the serried ranks of the
two contending hosts ready for the
clash of ballots. Municipal ownership
is the issue, and as the result of this
second trial at arms over this issue
there may or may not come an era of
peace.
Both sides to the controversy have
worked increasingly for weeks past,
and the arbitrament of the ballot to-
morrow is awaited with absorbing in
terest in Americus. In fact, the in
teTest is much wider than local.
The hoste on each side are led to
great extent by the Citizens club,
championing municipal ownership
of the proposed electric lighting plant,
for the building of which bond issue
of $4,000 is desired, while opposing
the bond issue are many citizens who
regard it as ill-advised.
The result, therefore, cannot BE-
forecasted at this stage of the drama
with any degree of accuracy, and no:
