to the people of the country for his
support.
President Wilson'S statement was
issued after an informal converse
ton with the Washington newspaper
correspondents. In this conversation
he accused the lobbyists of conduct
ing campaign of consistent misrep-
resentation in regard to the probable
effects Of the tariff rates in the I'm
derwood bill. He expressed the opin-
ion that the tariff lobby now in oper-
alton in Washington represents the
most concentrated effort ever made
by private interests to overcome a
piece of legislation pending in con-
gress.
Request of Newspaper Men.
1t was a request from tho news
paper men to quote his views which
led the president to issue his formal
statement. The president made 1t
plain that he was counting en- public
sentiment in the country to force into
line those Democratic members OF
congress who are disposed to vote
against certain features Of the bill.
While the president expresses the
greatest optimism in regard. to the
fate OF the Underwood bill in the SEN
ate, II is apparent that some of the
party leaders in congress who are
supporting him do not agree with this
view.
The presidents statement today was
interpreted here not only as blow
at the lobbyists, but as a move in
directly to drive the threatening
Democratic senators into line.
No. Charge of Corruption.
Democrats in congress, who oh
jected to the presidents statement,
did so chiefly on the ground OF inn
plication of corrupt influences, which
might be read into 1t, Mr. Wilson
himself, however. made 1t plain in his
conversation that he made no charges
of that character.
Senator Ransdell, of Louisiana. who
| has been directing the fight in the
senate for restoration of the duty
on sugar, when asked today what
comment he had to make ON rresi
dent Wilson's referenN to a lobby in
Washington, said:
Il do not know a thing in the world
about it, 1t does mot lit me. None
OF my people liz in the lobby"
The most surprising statement.

Underwood. the Democratic leader in
the house. Il have not seen" said
he. NOR have ! been advised of the
presence of an improper tariff lobby

Voice From Hawaii.
One of the men who have been
leading the fight against free sugar.
Is Ex-Governor Garter of Hawaii. He
issued this statement tonight:
II believe the people OF Hawaii,
or any other part of the country, have
a right to spend their money in any
legitimate way, or send their repre-
sentatiyes here to protect themselves
from a death blow. On their own ad-
mission the refineries have maintained
a lobby and conducted campaign
for free sugar since 1909.
Faced by the threatened annihila-
ton of their only indusry. the peo-
pie OF Hawaii have joined with those
OF Louisiana and with other domes-
tic producers in openly spending their
money for paid advertisements over
their own name In attempting to coun-
teract the misleading statements dis

JIM FLYNN AND
SAVAGE ARRIVE
HERE MONDAY
By Left Hook.

TACK CURLEY, manager Of Jim
Flynn, has wired that he and
y Flynn will arrive in Atlanta Mon
day, Dan Morgan, manager of Jim
Savage, had previously wired that he
and his man would be here either
Sunday or Monday. So the Queens
berry festivities Of the city should
brighten up materially within the
next few days
Savage and Flynn are matched to
battle ten rounds at the Auditorium
Armory
Dan Morgan in behalf of Savage
has laid claim to the heavyweight
championship of the world. In his
formal statement Morgan says:
Savage has as much right to the
title as any of the white hopes. /
consider him the best man in the lot.
/ believe he can whip any Of them,
now that McCarty is out of the way.
We are willing to meet any Of them
and intend to begin by polishing of
Flynn on the night of June IL in At
lanta."
Morgan is Wild with enthusiasm
over the outlook The sudden turn of
affairs that gave his man a cham
pionship look in pleased him right
down to the ground. He saw the OPP
portunity and he is off on a campaign
of activity that will give Jim Savage
more scraps in the next few months
than he ever had before in his life
II may be that Morgan's plans may
get an awful Jolt right here in At
lanta. There is not any doubt
that, until a few weeks ago. ne be-
Iieved that his man could trim Jim
FLYNN with all ease. Then came Jim S
great battle with Jim Coney, and that
was something else again. Flynn,
instead OF being on the down slant
as Morgan hoped proved to be as
good as ever in his career. But after
that was learned it was too late to
back out. for the match between Saw
age and Flynn was made.
Neither Of the men wants to meet
the other now. Yet each knows that
he must go into il to win or 10 be
Knocked out. There is no middle
ground now. A draw decision would
do neither of them any good. They
must win. A victory with the heavy
weight situation as il now is, means
money TO them, way up in the tens OF
thousands
The odd way affairs have lined
themselves has played into the hands
of the local promoters. 1t has made
the battle next Friday night one OF
the BIG contests of the year The
winner is almost sure within the year
to grab off the heavyweight cham
pionship of the world.
