WASHINGTON. March 12-Speaker
Champ Clark today was admitted to
practice before the supreme court of
the United States, on motion of Judge
Shepherd Barclay, of St. Louis, former
ly a member of the Missouri supreme
court.
The enrolment of the speaker was
not in anticipation of his purpose to
practice. 1t was for the convenience of
his constituents. many of whom seek
the distinction of having the speaker
move their admission to practice before
the court.
Il have been intending" said Speaker
Clark, "to come over here and be en-
rolled for the last twenty years, but for
some reason or other never did So"
Chief Justice White smiled broadly
when Judge Barclay declared the
speaker was qualified under the rules to
practice before the court.

yesterday:
The Georgian reneWS, and
strongly emphasizes, the suggestion
made by this newspaper that the
way to defeat the little group of
politicians who are banded together
to stranele the proposed charter is
by holding a great mass meeting in
the Auditorium AT ONCE. so that
the politicians may hear the voice
of the people in a united popular
demand for q Peoples Charter, in
stead of Politicians Charter.
Get good bands of music, get the
best speakers, with Atlanta's most
influential men on the platform,
and send out the peoples indignant
message to the bosses that they
can no longer rule, and charter re-
vision is certain. The bosses fear
the people in mass meeting assem-

that our citizens are in deadly

and will have genuine charter re-

over the politicians to get it, the
