AND HAIL
To FIGHT It OUT
FOR GOVERNOR
Dark Horses Rumored, But the
Real Race Is Between At
Iantan and Bibb Man.

The collapse Of the Hudson campaign
for governor and Hudson's formal
withdrawal from the contest yesterday
leaves John M. Slaton, of Atlanta, and
Joe Hill Hail. of Macon, the only two
avowed candidates in the field
Speculation as to other probable can
didates is widespread and general 1t
lacks much Of the definite and authori-
tative, however.
There Is the remotest possible chance
that Railroad Commissioner Murphey
Gambler may get into the race. There
is a shade more probability that At
torney General Thomas S. Fielder may
throw his hat into the ring. That
Congressman Hardwick will have a try
for the governorship is a bet just lit
tie bit more promising than either one
of the other two.
And the best bet of any appears to
be that Slaton and Hall will be left to
fight 1t out between themselves.
Trees Full of "Observers."
To a political observer up a tree
and the trees are full of political OBJ
servers right now-it looks as If John
M. Slaton has the governorship race
"Sewed up in a bag" as the irreverent
ones put 1t.
Mn Hall Is a strong man, has hosts
of friends throughout the state and is
a good fighter. He is actively cam
paigning, and has promulgated a plat
form that appeals to many. He will
get a good, big vote, but few think he
will come into the home stretch a win
ner against slaton.
Slaton has a fine organization. well
equipped campaign machine, the pres
tige of two terms in the Speakership
and In the presidency of the senate and
a two months term in the governorship.
Besides that, he is popular, and knows
tho game. He has the backing of
Thomas E Watson and tho nominant
Brown faction In Georgia politics.
Can Hall beat It? Maybe, but not
great many people seem to think so, If
one inquiries around the hotel Hobbies,
not only Of the politicians who drift In
and out OF Atlanta, but Of laymen as
we'll.
Nothing Certain, of Course.
Lightning changes in the complexion
Of things political In Georgia are by no
means unusual, and the Slaton cam
pagn may be up to it's neck In trouble
before the week Is out.
That Mr.. Slaton is not unmindful of
this is evident from the fact that he
has determined TO push his fight more
vigorously now than ever before. He
believes he has the situation well in
hand, and that it viii not likely get
away from him.
Georgia has an uncomfortable way OF
jumping hither and yon politically, and
nothing is guaranteed under the politi-
cal pure food laws. anyway, and all
schedules are subject to change with
out notice, and so forth and so on. and
well, Mr.. Slaton has no idea of not
keeping right busy on the job!
And always there is Mr.. Joe Hill
Hall, of Bib!
He says Hudsons withdrawal makes
1t easy for Hall to defeat Slaton-and
even If the betting Is not that way,
many a horse with the odds against him
has come under the wire winner.
Then, too, to get back to the begin
ming, in Georgia one never can tell!

SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
BY JAMES 8. NEvIN.

Right after the state convention met
and fit, and bled, and died" it was
urged in some quarters that it had per-
formed a monstrously irregular service
to the people when 1t named certain
prominent citizens presidential electors.
One excited partisan Of the Wilson
persuasion-and, by the way, those
Wilson people do seem to be more than
moderately bad losers-expressed fear
that these electors, having been chosen
from the known friends of Under
wood might in the event that some
one other than Underwood is elected
next November refuse to vote in the
electoral college for the person named
at Baltimore and-well, one forgets all
the grand, gloomy and peculiar things
folks imagination, unless something
could be done. pretty quick, too, to
straighten things out!
A little calm thought and investiga-
ton discloses the fact, however, that
the state convention, in naming cleo
tors. merely followed an ancient and
unbroken custom in that matter.
1t has been the invariable rule for
the convention that names delegates to
the national convention also to name
electors, These electors always vote in
the electoral college for the person win
ming in the party naming them.
Discussing this matter, The Macon
Telegraph points out that there was an
elector once upon a time who violated
his instructions in this matter and
voted in the electoral college for some
candidate whose cause failed in the
electors state. The Telegraph excuses
the man upon the ground that he was
crazy, and committed suicide shortly
after putting over his remarkable and
unheard Of stunt.
A whole lot of people have got
back to where they prefer reading
Of Ty Cobb's doings, rather than of
the late state convention.

torial boom Is a joke It Is rather

The union week OF prayer, in the

night after most successful gatherings
IN the various churches where the

who united in the effort were well
pleased with the result.

q CHAMPIONS
Still Living

There are at least twenty-one men
of the ring, and five of them still wear
the crests Of title. The heavyweight
class has the greatest number of
former champions, six, and the light
weight class has five men who have
had their hand raised by a referee as
the winner in a fight for a crown.
Paddy Ryan is now a policeman,
a credit to the forces of the law; John
l., Sullivan, who beat Ryan, has re-
tired wealthy from the stage; Jim
Corbett, the cleverest of all the big
men, is ar actor; Robert Fftzsimmons
has a farm at Dunnelen, N. j., but he
has made his earnings from an act
in vaudeville. Jim Jeffries is rich and
spends most of his time in hunting
and fishing. Jack Johnson, the pres
ent champion, calls Chicago his home,
and was born in the United States.
In the middleweight class there are
three men alive who have held the
title. Fitz has been mentioned, o'Brien
is In Philadelphia, while Billy Papke
has announced his retirement from
the ring.
The welterweight class has three
former champions living. Harry Lewis
is regarded as the best of the present
lot. He never won the title, but it
has just drifted to him, as did the
featherweight robes to Abe AttelI
Joe Walcott is in Boston. Honey
Melody has a drug store and still
fights. Joe Thomas is trying to fight
his way back to the top Of the ladder.
The lightweight class has I'VE men
who are alive n have won the title.
Jack McAuliffe Is an actor. kid
Lavigne has a cafe in Detroit, and
Frank Erne has a school for boxers
in Paris. Battling Nelson is touring
the country and taking every match
he can get.
AID Wolgast, the champion, has just
left a hospital, after recovering from
an operation, and he win not put on

THE ALEuTlAN ISLANDS.

Philadelphia Ledger: A steamship
which has just arrived at Seward,
Alaska, reports that Bogoslof, an active
volcano in the chain of the Aleutian
islands, is sending out vast clouds Of
smoke, which are doubtless indicative
of further necessary changes in the
chart of the singular archipelago off
the Alaskan coast. When Bogoslof
has been violently active in the past,
the ocean round about has been a
seething ferment, and presently new
islands have appeared. Thus Fire
island was created in 1883, Perry
island in 1905. Mccullough peak in
1905. The latter obliterated about half
Of Perry island in the violence of Its
own emergence, only to disappear. be-
meath the waves in the cougse of the
following year. In March. 1909. while
Bogoslof emitted fire, ashes and sand,
another island became visible. Alas
kans have called the Aleutians the
Jack In the box group" for now you
see them and now you don't"
There are about 80 islands in the
group. A century or so ago their
population may have been 10000; at
present it is less than 1000. Russian
missionaries have been among the ma
tives, and they are nominal adherents
of the Greek church. They subsist
chiefly by hunting and fishing. 1t is
difficult for ships to approach the
beaches because of the ~treacherous
reefs off shore. There are no trees,
The animal inhabitants are the fox and
the reindeer, and the hardy mariners
take seal and otter as well as fish.
These islands seem to be the re-
mains Of a bridge between the Alaska
peninsula and Asia. AS they form a
| disintegrated chain, the southwark
boundary of Boring sea, all the way to
Kamchatka, it is widely beyond the
bounds OF probability that some day
they will be utilized, as the keys of
Florida are being used. for stepping
| stones by the railway builders to Key
| West. If there are distances too great
to be spanned and depths that cannot
be plumbed, car ferries may be OPP
Grated. But in any event it will be
necessary to give Bogoslof a wide
berth, as well as the islands which that
| formidable little fire mountain alter
nately produces and destroys.

ing Of Ford automobiles throughout
the world.
Few know OF the difficulties en-
countered by Mesers, Ford and Couzens
In the early days Of their automobile
experience. Conservative Detroit,
which has now come to be the auto
mobile capital, didn't take kindly to
Mr.. Ford's first car which was the
first ever seen In Detroit. Capital was
hard to get on account Of the lack Of
confidence in the automobile as a
staple article OF commerce.
When the business did get on It's
feet, the Selden patent bogie man
bobbed up. The licensed crowd put
many a hurdle in the way Of the prog
resg of the Ford company. 1t was
just a year ago during the 1910 auto
show that the famous Selden suit
was decided In the Ford company's
favor. That decision settled adver-
sely the claims of the licensed crowd
that Mr.. Ford had infringed upon the
Selden patent.
I'm fact, the court said the engine
he had used in his Ford cars was q
better engine than that for which the
original Selden patent was taken out,
That was the last obstacle in the
pathway Of the Ford company. 1T
had brought out all of the fighting
qualities OF Henry Ford and James
Couzens who had battled for years for
their rights.
while the Selden case impended,
1t interfered to quite an extent with
the sale Of Ford cars because many
thought If the Ford engine had IN
fringed, the owners might be embar-
raised when the case was ultimately
decided, but with the last Of the long
