ton took place In this city, where the
present Democratic nominee was once n
none too successful lawyer, the capital Of
a state which claims wilson as All adopt
cd son and also processes n fatherly in
t,rest i'm Colonel Roosevelt because the
latter's mother was born near here. More
than eight thousand Georgians packing
the Atlanta Auditorium witnessed the
Governors Introduction into the. Ananias
Club. and the initiation was typicaily
Rooscycltian one.
