TUESDAY, P K 2, 1912.
Elect Louis Cobolini mayor, and
insure a progressive and economical
city government.
WHEN WILL BROWNSVILLE
AROUSE?

Another costly fire and almost
miraculous escape from a widespread
conflagration warns Brownsville of
the sheer madness of permitting the
town to continue as it now is-al-
moSs entirely without adequate
means of fighting fire. Mayor Ko-
walsh was right when he urged the
citizens to take steps to provide
proper facilities for fire protection.
Longer delay in doing so is suicidal.
No one can tell where the fire tiend
will strike next. And, if a fire oc-
ours at some time when a strong
wind is blowing, with our present
poor fire fighting facilities. nothing
could prevent a terrible if not an
i%rreparable disaster. If we awaken
some day to find our beautiful lit
tie city nothing but a pile of ashes
and embers. we may weep and wall
y vain
The work that our volunteer fire
men do is altogether to their credit.
None a exceed The Herald in adj
miration for the noble and courag-
eous efforts of these men in be-
half of the town. And, when it is
remembered hat they do this alb
solutely without recompense, ether
than the knowledge that they have
done a manly and philosophical
thing, one can not but realize what
a great debt the city and every one
Of us owes to them. The volunteer
fremen Of Brownsville are men to
be proud of, men whom we should
love and honor.
But these men-all of whom have
their regular business callings to
occupy them day by day-can not
be expected to do the work of
trained firemen-especially when
they have no equipment TO work
with. Let them continue to assist
il the noble work of protecting the
city, but let us have at least two
trained fire fighters to direct them
and TO insure the safety of the town.
It is criminal to delay a single
day. The reduction in the cost of
insurance alone would more than re-
pay any extra a necessary to pro-
vide the town with a thoroughly up
to-date fire equipment, including
several trained firemen.

Final Rallies Last Night.

Both the Democrats and indie
pendents closed the campaign last
night with enthusiastic rallies. Each
side celebrated the eve Of election
with a monster %torchlight process
sion, with lots of music. After the
procession, meetings were held at
their respective headquarters and
and speeches were made by various
popular orators of both sides. Lack
Of space prevented detailed reports
of the speeches delivered.
Both meetings were characterized
by good order.

c~H'ir'man Seabury's Explanation

"A Herald reporter also called upon
Hon. f. w. Seabury, chairman of the
Democratic executive committee, for
an Interpretation of the law touch
ing the ballots, in regard to the
point ruled upon by Judge Hopkins.
In reply, MI. Seabury gave the Her
aid the following statement:
''The Terrell Election Law re-
quires the official ballot to be printed
in columns, one column being for the
names of all candidates nominated
by each organized political party
that has made nominations by pri-
maries or convention on primary
election day, and one column, called
the independent column" being for
the names of all candidates, nom
partisan or Independent, who have
been nominated by petition of the
requisite number of voters. Sections

local parties, such as the I%ndepend-
ent party of Brownsville, if made by
primary or convention on the legal
primary election day, and such nom
nations appear on the ballot in a
separate party column. Party nomi-
nations to city Offices must be made
at least thirty days before the cleo
ton. The Democratic party COM
piled with the law. but the nominal
tons made by the Independent party
were wholly extra legal, and the law
could not recognize them. The lead
ers of that party understood that
fact, and in every case they had their
candidates nominated by petition.
When so nominated, their names had
to be printed in the independent
column; this also applied to the sim
liar nomination of Mayor Kowalski
and others which were not approved
by the Independent party.
IF the law were followed, there
would be but one Independent col
umn, in which the names of Mr.. K9-
walski and Mr.. Cole would both ap-
pear as candidates for mayor. The
Independent party does not desire
independence on the part of their
voters, but the strictest party loyal

KEEP COOL,

Whatever comes, let Brownsville
citizens today be cool and s%elf-con-
tanned. The political situation is
tense, the rivalry is exceedingly
keen, and some hard feeling may
exist. Yet it is to be hoped above
SIif things that today's election may
pass off without untoward event.
Let us remember that Browns
VILE is in the limelight as a candi-
date for civic greatness, that we are
trying our utmost to induce outside
capital TO invest here. To do this,
we must maintain a good name.

THE REASON FOR
THE INJUNCTION
INDEPENDENT PARTY DID NOT
NOMINATE IN TIME.
Their Candidates We're Nominated
by Petition as Kowalski and
Others We're, and Not Entitled to
Exclusive Column on Ballot.

rE. NH. HNEH. FH4.H.N H~ NNN.W t#r.N #M
Because the Independent party
failed to nominate its candidates fol
offices in the municipal election
thirty days before the date of the
election, it was ruled by District
Judge w. B, Hopkins that the party
nominees had no right to occupy the
Independent column on the official
ballot to the exclusion Of other in
dependent candidates. The ruling
was made in the injunction granted
to Andres Ureste. independent an
didate for city marshal, which is
published as part of the proceedings
of the city council elswhere in this
issue of the Herald. 1t requires the
city council to have the names OF
all candidates nominated by petit
ton in the independent column on
the ballot. Every nominee of the
Independent party vas nominated
in this maner, Just as Benz. Kowalski
and other independent candidates
were nominated. Therefore this rul-
ing required that the names of the
Independent party candidates be
printed in the same column with
those of all other candidates not
nominated by party convention or
primary thirty days before the cleo
ton.
The serving of this injunction
created great excitement on the part
of the Independents. and was the
subject Of sever criticism and con-
demnation by some of the Indepen'
ent members at the city council
meeting.
The Herald endeavored to obtain
an expression from several Independ-
ent leaders on the subject. Beyond
a general statement, however, to thS
effect that they were assured that it
vas entirely legal 10 print the names
of their candidates in tie Independ-
ent column and place those of the
other Independent or non-partisan
candidates in the non-partisan col
the reporter was unable to OBJ
tain any Interpretation of the law
on the subject from this source. 1t
was learned from the Independents
approached that an effort had been
made to obtain an opinion from the
attorney general as to whether any
candidates nominated by petition
who had not filed a~cceptances were
entitled to be placed on the ballot,
but the answer received had not
made this point clear.
While denouncing the ruling by
Jupdge Hopkins, the Independents
agreed to bow to the will of the
court and have the ballots printed
according to his order.

AuguStans Pledge Themselves
to Take Stock at Premium
on Par Value.

The Empire Life Insurance Company,
of Atlanta, owners of the Empire Life
building in Peachtree street, will re-
move its home Offices from Atlanta to
Augusta within the next twelve months
erect a handsome office building there
for its headquarters anG sell the struc-
ture it now occupies in Atlanta.
In return, leading citizens and capt.
talists of Augusta promise to subscribe
and pay cash for stock to the value of
$500 900 at the current price, which
means a premium on the par value.
Augusta is anxious to have the home
offices of large insurance company
and the subscription of the stock has
virtually been assured.
Stockholders of the Empire company
met last night at the home offices in
the Empire Life building and received
formally the proposition submitted by
II. c. Lorick and M. II. Stafford, Of
Augusta, both directors in the COM
pany Mr. Lorick is the Augusta agent
of the Empire and one of the live
wires of the organization. Mr.. STAFF
ford is third vice president
When the offer from Augusta men
was submitted the stockholders present
voted unanimously in favor of accept
ing the proposal, and the subscription
for stock will be opened in Augusta at
once.
THE proposal is such a favorable
one that every stockholder present, and
all were notified was enthusiastically
in favor of the step" said President
William w Reid today. "Of course,
it will be a year or more before de-
tails are completed, a new home found
and the company's offices removed. We
feel that it will be move of advan-
tage to stockholders and policy hold
ers alike. The purchase of this large
amount of stock by some of the hes,
financiers of the state is a compliment
to the standing and integrity Of the
company that has never been paid be-
fore to any other financial institution
in the South, and one that Will Of It
self enhance the value Of every share of
stock outstanding in addition to the
increased value caused by the increa sed
surplus obtained from the premium on
the sale of this large block of stock.
For these reasons the directors heartily
recommend the adoption of the neces'
sary resolutions"

Visitors Cards
Watched Closely.

Particular stress was laid on the rules
governing the admittance into the clubs
of Fulton county residents, the two Wis
itors being anxious to find Just how
hard or how easy 1t Is for a citizen of
Atlanta to enter club without being
bona fde member In the case of the
better class organizations, especially
those which have been in existence
since before the prohibition law, they
found that absolutely none but members
are admitted, except guests from out
side the county, and these only through
courtesy of their friends.
The chief and Councilman Humphrey
announced their intention OF visiting
every club in Atlanta. from the Capital
City to the smallest among the 200"
clubs. No notice Of their intention was
sent out, and their arrival at the doors
resulted in a surprise to club members
and managers.
