so torrid as to drive all thought Of the
weather from the minds OF all who
participated. 4
Great lines of uniformed policemen
we're scattered about the structure
and massed at every entrance. Group
ed with then. were 400 special deputy
sheriffs, especially commissioned by
the sheriff of Cook county to see that
there was no disorder. Plain clothes
men were scattered through the
crowd OF curiosity seekers that had
flocked to the scene hopeful that the
Roosevelt forces would make good
their threat and storm the entrances,
making a way for all without tickets.
Nothing had been overlooked and
nothing left undone to preserve order
and In addition to the police the re-
serves squad were held in readiness
near the Coliseum with automobile
patrol wagons ready to rush to any
spot where they might be needed.
The formal program outlined al
though certain to be contested as the
Roosevelt determination to fight was
as follows:
Police on Guard.
The convention hall doors opened
at 10 o'clock. As each ticket holder
approached the designated entrance
his pasteboard was inspected first by
a uniformed policeman If satisfac-
tory he or she was moved forward to
| the door, where a specially commits
stoned ticket-taker was in readiness
to scrutinize the credentials, and. if
correct, to pass the holder to the seat
indicated on the coupon. In the bal
cony of the Coliseum were massed
two bands and couple of glee clubs
who filled in the time from ten o'clock
until twelve o'clock, when, under the

scheduled to formally open the con-

wanted to see what was going on and
to be in position where they might
be observed from the galleries. But
the old wheel horses of the party, the
men whose names are intimately con
Injected with its history, delayed as
much as they could. They wanted the
spotlight and handclapping and cheers
| which would show the outsiders that
their place In the party was recog-
nized. Men of the Depew type, to
whom public recognition means every
/ thing, fingered in the corridors SO that
they might find clear aisle down
which to stride to their seats in the
full view of the gathered delegates
and packed galleries. And each time

CHICAGO, June 1S.-When the
gavel of Victor Rosewater, chairman
OF the republican national committee
fell at noon today calling to order the
fifteenth republican national conven-
ton, the most desperate fight in the
history OF American politics had
reached a crisis. For weeks Presi-
dent TAFT and Colonel Roosevelt have
been battling throughout the country
for delegates. Today with the entire
representation Of every state ana ter
ritory on hand for the opening of the
convention In the massive Coliseum,
the uncertainty was greater than when
the fight opened weeks ago.
The Taft men had flatly refused the
demand Of the Roosevelt forces that
they agree to proposition that no
vote on the temporary organization be
valid unless 1t received the affirma-
tive vote Of $40 delegates, a majority
whose right to seat was unquestion-
ed. This was novel program and
arranged at o session OF the Roose-
velt delegates that lasted until nearly
daylight today. The Roosevelt men
declared At waa put forth in tho inter.

was desired that the proceedings OF
the convention be such that they
would reunite the party. The Taft
men declared that the presentation, II
adopted, would mean simply a dead.
lock. They insisted that It would be
impossible to secure harmony and an
affirmative vote from the $40 dele
gates. They also claimed that the
real reason back of the suggestion
was the desire OF the Roosevelt men
for further delay. Every hour that the
presidential nomination was deferred
the Taft men said gave the Roosevelt
followers that much more time to
proselyte among wavering delegates
especially those from the south.
The Taft men insisted that their
original program WAS going through
They declared they had the delegates
They also insisted that. after consult

CANCER DUE To
LACK Of POTASH
Disease Caused by Methods of
Preparing Foods, Declares
Physician.

LONDON, Aug 26.-"The treatment
for cancer is easy for any doctor who
is qualified to administer castor oil and
to perform a surgical operation" said
DR.. Forbes Ross leCturing at the Eus-
taCe Miles Restaurant on "Cancer-Is
the Problem Solved?"
He argued that the disease was due
to the deficiency of potassium salts in
the body, owing to the popular GUS
tom of pouring away the juices of cook
ed vegetables which contain potash and
other valuable natural salts.
while lime, mague ium and sodium. %
he said, are to be found in practically
every form Of food, potassium was often
absent and the English fashion of cook
ing results in people eating muck
minus minerals
Fifty years ago 500 women and 200
men per million died of cancer. and to-
day the figures are 1000 and 500 re-
spectively.
The savage never suffers from the
disease, nor did the negro and other
native races until they began to cook
in white man fashion. Food ought to
be- cooked conservatively and eaten
with the natural juices

SLATON VICTIM IN
PLOT To AVENGE
MILEAGE VETO
Plan to Pack Convention for
Platform to Embarrass Him
as Browns Friend?

Notwithstanding John NJ. Slaton's
overwhelming victory in the governor
ship race, and the alleged non partisan
character of his support in the main,
some of his friends today are in a
measure disturbed by reports that have
reached Atlanta to the effect that a
deliberate attempt is being made to
pack" the convention to meet in Ma
con next Wednesday to Mr.. Stations
embarrassment.
1t is reported that delegations are
being framed up in many counties of.
Georgia, known generally as "Hoke
Smith" counties. whereby a platform
may be promulgated in Macon which
will include many of the so-called
"Hoke Smith" policies, and particular
~ as they seem opposed to the So
called Joe Brown policies" in Geor--
gia.
The present county executive COM
mittees of Georgia are said to be gen
orally more favorable to the Smith end
of recent Georgia political endeavor
than to the Brown end. They were or
ganized Immediately after Mr.. Smiths
were composed in their majority as
pect, by the known friends of Smith.
Plan to Denounce Brown.
1t is being specifically charged that
a strenuous effort will be made to as
semble a convention in Macon that
will denounce openly Governor Browns
recent veto of the mileage pulling"
l.;
approved by the executive.
If that is done, it will embarrass Mr..
Slaton necessarily, as the governor was
known to be MIR. Slatons avOwed friend
in his race, and when Mr.. Slaton's cam
paign was in its infancy and the Brown
support gave it tremendous prestige. To
run Slaton for governor on a platform
openly denouncins an act of the pres
ent executive would be very distasteful
to Mr.. Slaton. As a matter of fact,
Slaton likelv would refuse emDhatical-
ly to stand for it. thus. if the conven-
ton insisted putting the question
squarely up to the people of Georgia.
The present state executive commit
tee is a Hoke Smith committee and as
such will have an influencing voice in
shaping matters at Macon, particulars
in the preliminary work.
Chance For Plan to Succeed.
If the state committee lends itself to
the effort to embarrass Mr.. SIaton. and
any considerable number of county
committees also take a hand in the
matter, the effort may succeed.
The convention is to be composed,
under the ruling of the committee of
friends of a various gubernatorial can
didates. according to the way the sew
eral counties went Under this ar
rangement. Mr.. Slaton should have
clear and undisputed control. But the
election was very e-sided, and an eff
fort to pack" the convention might
succeed, unless Slaton's friends keep
their eyes open and watch what is go
ing on
The alleged effort to hit Brown over
Slaton's shoulders. because of Browns
veto of the mileage bill. is the real
thing, so many of Stations friends say
today, that is in the wind. and to which
the county committees quietly are be.

This Georgian then went on to dis
cuss something of the progress Of pro-
hibition and temperance in Georgia,
saying:
Il am getting to be an old man
saw, when was a boy, barrooms every
where.
The old crossroads bar was COM
mon sight then. There was hardly a
fork in the country byways that was
not decorated with a doggery. The
farmers then knew what it was to be
harassed by the liquor problem in a
manner unknown nowadays These
country bars were almost devoid Of po-
lice protection, and they were breeders
of all sorts of lawlessness.
The first step was to abolish the
crossroads bar. This was done by the
enactment of law prohibiting bars
within certain distances of churches
and school houses, unless located in in
corporated towns.
1T was great relief to get the bars
confined to the towns, and removed
from the rural sections
Gradually we restricted the bars to
the cities. We limited their number,
we licensed them high, we regulated
their hours.
Then we drove them from the small
er towns and confined them to large
towns.
Then we closed all the old time bars
in the cities and we are now weaving
the public away from its former taste
for strong drink, and if we can induce
it to conflne itself TO beer and light
wines for number of years, logically
we may hope eventually to get rid of
the question entirely.
Certainly we have made most ex-
cellent progress. Certainly the expert
ment we are now undergoing Is prom

violent changes in the present state OF

SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.

A great many politicians in Georgia
are taking the results of Wednesdays
primary to mean, among other things.
that the state of Georgia is pretty well
satisfied with the measure of prohibi-
ton, real or imaginary, it now has, and
that immediate efforts. at least, TO
change the status of things is going to
meet with failure.
Whatever of rank dissatisfaction
there may be with the present law and
its enforcement would seem to have
oeen well rounded up in the vote ac-
corded Mr.. Alexander.
Mr. Alexander made the prohibition
question the paramount issue of his
campaign He based his entry into the
fight against Mr. Slaton upon the gov
ernor's failure to sign the Tippins bill,
after that bill had passed the house
and the senate by a two thirds vote of
each house
The gentleman from DeKalb made
the issue plain from one end of Georgia
to the other. He pictured whatever of
the horrible there may be in Georgia s
present attitude with respect to the
prohibition law. He said. with vehe-
mence, and ii was heralded by the
newspapers everywhere, that Georgia
was lin state of anarchy"
If any man ever was qualified SEEM
ingly to force the issue of prohibition
at this particular time, Hooper Alex
ander certainly was that man.
And yet, on the issue Of Georgia in
a state of anarchy" because of the pro-
hibtion law as it stands today, Mr.
Alexander was able to carry but one
lonesome county-and that by the mar
rowest sort of margin
His popular vote was something like
twenty per cent only of the total vote
cast.
The conclusion that Georgia is not in
a state of anarchy seems, therefore. by
many to be abundantly warranted.
One of the most pronounced and ar
dent prohibitionists In Georgia, dis
GUESSING the question of prohibition a
few days before the primary, said:
Georgia is trying out a most inter
esting experiment. and I, as a prohlbi-
ZIONIST and temperance man. would like
to see it carried to it's logical conclu-
sion.
1--WE have abolished the old fash
Toned barroom, where all sorts of heavy
drinks We're sold, and substituted for it
a bar in which only beer IS dispensed.
True we know that real beer is sold
in these places, and not near beer so
called But, as a rule, nothing but beer
is sold there
IN one or two big cities the law is
fiagrantly violated, and the old time
bars flourish with impunity-those
cities never will obey any sort of pro-
hibition law, perhaps. Certainly not at
this time
But in Atlanta, the capital of the
state. and in the other cities, the law is
well observed There is not bar in
this city that sells anything stronger
than beer
"Gradually, | think, the public taste
for drink in Georgia is being switched
away from whisky to beer.
IF that be true-and it will take
time to demonstrate the truthfulness of
the suggestion, to be sure-I think pro-
hibtionists and temperance advocates

Delightful, Scientific Foods

One mustn't forget that Pulled

They have another advantage
over all other cereals. They are
fully twice as digestible as wheat

The granules are blasted to
pieces, SO digestion can instantly

That is why these foods are

the stomach can't stand a tax.
That's why one may eat them
at any hour between meals or
at bedtime without i'll result.
That is why brain workers eat
them for luncheons.
Prof. Anderson invented this
process to make whole grains
wholly digestible, as never was
done before. Their deliciousness
was merely an accident.
