GEORGIA WILL DEMAND
SQUARE DEAL sLATON

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 2S.-Will Governor
Slaton get a square deal at the Ma
con convention That is what Geor-
gians are wondering now, A square
deal is all that his friends are asking
for they feel assured that he is entitl-
ed to the short term senatorship, hav-
ing led in both county unit and pop
ular vote.
Evidence of plans of the Hardwick
forces to frame up the convention and
run roughshod over the Slaton dele
gates is clearly shown. Judge Nat
Harris, the successful candidate for
governor, expressed himself as favor
ing st. Elmo Massengale of Atlanta,
for temporary chairman, and Massen-
gale was expected to stand by Slaton,
who carried Fulton county and for
whom the Fulton delegation is in
structed. But later in the game the
Hardwick men succeeded in putting
Joseph E. Pottle, of Milledgeville, for
ward for temporary chairman, and
Massengale as secretary, with E. j.
Reagin, of McDonough, for permanent
chairman. Now Massengale has come
forward with an endorsement of Pot
tie for the temporary craftsmanship.
Pottle is known throughout Georgia
as a shrewd politician and master
hand at steering a steam roller. He
is a red hot Hardwick man, and as
the temporary chairman has the nam
ing of credential and other committees
and holds the machinery of the con-
vention in his hands and it is hardly
to be exepcted that the Slaton forces
will have chance unless the combina-
ton now said to be slated is broken
up.
The persistent report that Senator
Hoke Smith will take hand in the
convention is not borne out by any
statement from him. 1t has been re-
ported that he would come to the Ma
con meeting, but his closest friends il
Atlanta have had no such advices, and
believe he will remain at his post in
Washington.
The convention promises to be the
most exciting and important political
gathering in Georgia in several de-
cades. If any steam rolling tactics are
employed, if there is any move to de-
feat the wishes of the people, who
named the delegates, it is possible that
G. roar will go up which will resound
fran Rabun to Tybee, and a discord
which will tear up all old factional
alliances and send bunch Of Georgia
politicians to the discard.

If he were there her JOY would b.

He was there. She saw him from
the deck of the tender as they edged
up to the landing. His tall figure
doomed in the front rank against the

sun bronzed face wore look Of eager
expectancy; from her obscured posi-
ton in the shadow of the deck build

too obvious, she could even detect the
alert, swift-moving scrutiny that he
fastened upon the crowd.
Later on, he stood looking down
into her serious blue eyes; her hands
were lying limp in his. His own eyes
were dark with earnestness, with the
restraint that had fastened itself upon
him. Behind her stood the respectful

Crossing the Channel.
Booth, restless with vague uneasi-
ness that had come over him during
the night, keeping him awake until
nearly dawn, was hard put during the
early hours of the forenoon to find
occupation for his interest until a
seasonable time arrived for appearing
at Southlook. He was unable to ac-
count for this feeling of uncertainty
and irritation.
AT nine he set out to walk over to
Southlooky realizing that he should
have to spend an hour In profitless
gossip with the lodge keeper before
presenting himself at the villa, but
somehow relishing the thought that
even so he would be nearer to Hetty

Halfway there we was overtaken by
Sara's big French machine returning
from the village. The car came to a
standstill as he stepped aside to let
it pass. and Sara herself leaned over
and cordially invited him to get in and
ride home with her.
What an early bird you are" he ex-
claimed as he took his seat beside
her.
She was not in mood for airy per-
sifiage, as he soon discovered.

words died on his lips.
"She Is not coming back" she ~
peated.
An accusing gles.m leaped tnto Bin

She was quick to perceive the

until Booth was safely out Of the way.
He spent dismal evening at the boat

past ten. From a dark corner OF the

argues that the class of batting
among the newcomers must be pref
ty strong.
FaIkenberg was a whale with
Cleveland but with Indianapolis he
has been peeled frequently. Bob
Groom, last year with Washington,
is not making as good a record with
the Sloufeds. Ad Brennan is not hav-
ing wonderful string of victories as
Chifed pitcher, and Jack Quinn,
though off to a good start with Balti-
more, has not been as great puzzle
to Fed batters recently as he was to
National Leaguers last season.
Frank Chance comes to town to-
day with his Yanks, but there will
not be as big a crowd as last year,
when the first visit of the P. L. was
made a monster celebration and al
most a civic holiday.
One thing is certain, the P. L. will
not make any more trades with Cal
lahan. He feels that he was stung
in the deal by which the Sox obtain
ed Chase for Borton and Zeider.
Chance would not have cared if lei
der had remained loyal. Chase for
Zeider would have been an even
break in his estimation, as Borton
was only figured for temporary duty
until a more energetic player could
be secured.
All dope points to pitchers battles
in the series. Both teams have fine
defensive lines, but the attack of each
is light.
Vanguard was damned by st.
Louis. Jack Miller drove in four
runs and scored one. Beck pounded
a triple and three singles. Eddie
Grant got three doubles off Perrit.
Herzog lost a chance to climb. Per-
due outpitchied Ames. Evers got two
doubles and single and Gowdy
