I. r., and the racket they can, and do,
make is astounding. The noise of tire
spellbinders in Gotham Is bewildering,
and. in way, highly amusing.
Il attended both the recent big
meetings. Wilson had large and most

ger. 1 never saw such a frenzied mob
as the one that greeted Roosevelt
they seem to be crazy about him. Every
crank in that end of creation is fol-
lowing the Bull Moose this year-just
as they used to follow Bryan. Or as the
enemy said they followed Bryan, at
least.
With all the Roosevelt enthusiasm,
however, the state is going for Wilson
and 1t will go safely and decisively.
But getting back home is like get
ting off circus train into q funeral
procession, so far as the political ex-
citement of the thing is concerned.

Boston, Mass, has had its eye on it's
Georgia namesake, and particularly
with respect to the recent COW election
in the latter municipality.
Looking ahead The Boston Globe
recently printed the following edito-
rial:
In Boston, Ca, they are to de-
eide by popular vote whether cows
shall be allowed to roam at will
about the streets and sidewalks. 1t
appears that there have been some
warm political disputes over this
gentle creature and her desire for
unrestrained liberty and free access
to all public thoroughfares Bos-
ton, Mass, once had the same prob
lem and before it was settled the
cows had done the work Of civil
engineers in the matter Of city
planning.
There is a tradition that Savannah
really was laid out" by the cows-and
there are even those irreverent enough
to say that some Of Atlanta's twisting
and winding thoroughfares originally
were COW paths!
Anyway, Boston, Ga, since The Bos-
ton Globe editorialized and forewarned,
has voted in favor of the cows-by a
majority averaging to 1.
And there may have been a measure
of method in Bostons madness!
Judge Henry Revil. of Greenville,
presiding magistrate of the city court
of Meriwether, is an Atlanta visitor.
The judge is extremely popular with
the people of his county, but in the
matter of dispensing justice he knows
no friend or foe-he hands it out inn
partially
OF late his honor has been swamped
with blind tiger" cases. For time it
looked as If the entire shiftless section
of the Meriwether population was about
to turn bootlegger.
81 have time with those defend
ants, too,' said Judge Revill, but the
court has managed to round up its
share of them of late. One of the
troubles is that either Bill Jones or
Daddy Mclaughlin invariably repre-
sents the tiger on trial-and that
makes it more or less difficult for me
to get away with it,"
1t should be explained that "Bill'
Jones is the judges brother in law, and
Daddy" Mclaughlin is his father-ir-
law And, between the two, they man
age just about to sew up the criminal
practice in their vicinity.
Atlanta practically is politicianless
today, save in so far as those of a
strictly local persuasion are concerned.
Those who live here, but have vot-
ing residences elsewhere, have departed
in order to vote back home" and those
who visit here off and on are staying at
home today whooping things up for
Woodrow Wilson.
The Kimball house lobby. that mecca
of all visiting politicians and states
