WILSON GAN WIN IN MAIN
FIGHT BEFORE THE NATION
C, 0. Smith, Farmer Says Big
Issue Not Nomination, but
'iWhO Can VIM"

Charles o. Smith, of DeKalb county,
paid a Whit to the Wilson headquar-
tiers Tuesday and made the following
statement:
II am farmer and come in contact
with the farmers and farming interests.
I don't think there is any question about
the fact that the farmers OF Georgia
are for Woodrow Wilson. know they
are for him in my section, and there
is sarcely a doubt but that DeKalb coun-
ty win roll up a majority for Woodrow
Wilson of at least two to one.
1--WE look upon him as the strongest
and most available candidate the Demo-
Gratis can put forward. We do not think
that the main issue is the contest between
Democrats for the nomination; we think
the main fight VIII be next fall when the
Democratic nominee goes up against the
Republican nominee.
I'VE are for Woodrow Wilson because
we believe he can win next fall, against
the Republican ominee."

FARMERS OF GEORGIA
LOSE $4,000, 600 BY RAIN

The unusual run OF bad weather dur
ing this spring and the preceding
winter has, It is estimated, cost The
city Of Atlanta more than $4,000, 600,
and the state Of Georgia at least &c.
100000.
weather bureau statistics show thai
there have been 10 rainy days in At
lanta since October 1, and also that
there have been 81 days additional
which were too cold for outdoor labor.
Out of the last $50 days fully 100 days
have had such bad weather 1t was i'm
possible to do outdoor work.
1t is estimated that the 10000 day
laborers in Atlanta have lost at least
s1,5OO,OO0 by being deprived OF work,
and that the men for whom they
worked have suffered a loss of about
$4,000 because Of delays.
Heavy losses have been sustained b.
the merchants, whose business is al
ways at a standstill during Indictment
weather, and the farmers throughout
the state have been heavily damaged
by the rains. The planting of the
crops has been delayed so days beyond
the usual planting season, and 1t iE
said the aggregate loss to the farmers
of Georgia will be about $1o,O00,oOO.

COLUMBUS HIGHWAY
TO LINK SAVANNAH
Especial Dispatch to The Journal)


COLUMBUS, Ca. April PA great
highway connecting the cities of Savan-
nah and Columbus is now proposed and
leading business men of the two cities
express themselves as being highly in
favor Of such an Improvement across the
great state.
Former Mayor Browne is in receipt Of
a letter from F. F. Battey, of the
Savannah Automobile club. in which the
latter states that some 200 members of
his club are DESTROYS of coming to
Columbus in May with a view Of
advocating the proposed permanent
Improvement.
1t is argued that a great highway
between the two cities would mean much
to both towns as well as 20 the scores
OF cities along the route, and the idea
Is to work up interest in and enthusiasm
for the highway during the proposed trip
which Is to be made in autos.
Local business men think well OF the
plan. and IL is stated that the matter
viii be brought up at the next session Of
the board OF trade.

ALABAMA'S VOTE CANNOT BE
KEPT FROM GOV. WILSON
For Underwood First Then Wilson, When LnderWOod's
Name Is MATHEMATICIAN Fails to Wrap Aabama'S "a
Votes Up for Speaker CIark-"A Southemer for PreS-
dent" Is Aabama'S Firm Stand

CONGRESSMAN Underwood cannot de-
liver Alabama's "a votes. or any part
of the number, to Speaker Clark at the
national Democratic convention when
the presidential nominee is about to De
declared.
Neither Congressman Underwood nor
any OF his friends can control Alana-
mas votes.
The "a convention votes from Alaba-
ma will be solidly for Congressman
IJnderwood-as long as his name is De-
fore the convention. Thatmay be on
the first ballot, and possibly 1t Will Dc
on the second ballot But when Con
gresham Underwood's name is with
drawn, as II surely will be, Alabama $
"a votes will be cast solidly for wood
row Wilson.
This is an absolute fact. 1t is stat
ed on the best of authority. 1t has been
checked in detail. The stand of each
one of the As delegates from Alabama
is known The statement cannot be
successfully disputed. 1t will be at
tackled, of course, by certain gentlemen
in Alabama who themselves know it to
be true; but it is fact, and all who
are acquainted with the inner details
of the matter know it is a fact. So it
will stand.
Alabama's delegation will stand by
Congressman Underwood for president
until he is eliminated. Then IL will go
over to Woodrow Wilson.
MAJORITY FOR WILSON.
The reason is that Of the as delegates
from Alabama 32 are for Governor VIII
son against both Clark and Harmon.
OF the whole 4s. As are for Governor
Wilson against Speaker Clark.
he arc VIII
son against Governor Harmon.
Alabama's long established precedent,
never violated, is a unit vote, the ma
jority debating
The Alabama delegation was instruct
ed to cast the states "a votes for Con-
gresham Underwood so long as his
name is before the convention. After
Congressman Underwood withdraws, AL
abama's delegation stands uninstructed.
The majority is for Governor Wilson
then, and the majority will control the
entire delegation.
NOT CONJECTURE; A FACT.
This is not conjecture. It is a posi-
lively ascertained fact Governor VIII
sons Alabama friends have been at work
since the state executive committee met;
and under the very noses Of the very
men who have been fondly planning that
the Alabama vote should be handed to
Speaker Clark on a silver waiter with
Mr.. Underwood's compliments, they have
won the day for Mr.. Wilson. Those who
sought to wrap up the Alabama vote and
put it in their own pockets, have found
that it is already Warped up and la
beled For Governor Wilson" They
have learned 1t too late to remedy their
mistakes. The matter is sailed irrevoca-
bly,.
The very best authority backs the as
sertions here made. It cannot be quot
ed. The details which IL cites cannot
be recited. Neither is IL necessary,
The fact is stated, and that is all there
is to IL.
But public evidences Of the truth of
the assertions may be quoted.

SURVIVOR OF TITANIC
ARRIVES AT SAVANNAH
Especial Dispatch to The Journal.)

Especial Dispatch to The Journal)
SAVANNAH, Ca. April 24-Mr. A. F.
omont, of Havre, France, one of the
comparative few male survivors of the
White Star liner Titanic which foun-
dered off the Newfoundland coast,
reached Savannah late yesterday after
noon by rail, after landing in New York
on the Carpathia. Mr. OmOnts expe-
rience on the Titanic was sufficient for
a while, as he selected the railroad to
complete his journey to this city.
The general story told by Mr.. omOnt
is not widely different from those told
by the other fortunate ones. Since
reaching Savannah he, has repeatedly re-
lated to those with whom he has met
the story of his escape in one Of the
greatest disasters of modern history.
Mr.. Omont has visited the Savannah
Cotton exchange. His visit has crear-
ed much interest. He will remain here
several days on business with the firm
Of Tinsley & Hull.
