THE JEFFERSONIAN

Georgia is a humbug and a fraud for
equally specious reasons; and that
they have so decided and conse-
quently by the authority in them as
sumed wish to set aside the findings
and decisions of the court, decide
the case from "Co1lier's, exclusively,
in room 1882, 200 Fifth Ave, New
York City, award the prisoner elem
ency by pardoning him out because
he is a Jew, and because c.. p. Con-
nally and they, themselves, wish it
done, in the hope the future will dis
close wonders and perform miracles
to convince us that he should have
had new trial.
The crime of which Leo Frank is
accused is a crime against the laws
of the State, and it is the function
of the State to try him according to
it's laws When this is done it is
insolent and contemplate for a
bunch of smart Alexis of other States
to attempt to take matters in their
own hands, insult our courts, SANDER
our people and ridicule us to the
world, without Knowing single
thing about the case, and without
any idea Of it, save what has been
spawned and Matched in prejudice
and lies. 1t is enough to arouse the
Indignation of all right thinking peo-
pie. And press too craven to de-
fend it's State against such calumny
deserves nothing but scorn and deri-
sion from the constituency of that
State.
When has there ever been a case
similar to this in the annals of our
history? The State of Georgia has
tried cases and executed it's laws ever
since it has been State, and never
before has it been Villifed as it has
in the Frank case, never before has
there been such an effort by misin-
formed hOodlums of other States to
nullify our laws and revile our courts.
And when it is done in this case we
may be sure that it is not done with
out money and without price.
Let us hope, Mr.. Watson, that
other daily papers and magazines
will join you and Mr.. Franc Mangum
of the Macon News in defending our
State and exposing the fraud that is
so rampant in the Frank case cam
paign. Let us teach our Hebrew
brothers and their sympathetic
friends that when "the seed of Alb
raham," violate the law, all the
money, editorial slobber-gosh, adver-
Using campaigns, letter writing
movements, and untra-State dicta-
ton and ridicule in Christendom,
won't keep them from coming up to
the trough and licking the salt like
the rest of us.
Very truly yours,
Ga. JOHN |. KELLEY.

Politicians Stirred
By Roosevelt Talk
Caused by Gary Dinner

Growing out Of the recent Judge Gary
dinner. at which Col. Theodore Roose-
welt was a guest. and out of various
ing speculation in Washington over the
question OF whether the colonel is go-
ing to enter the lists as a candidate for
President in 1916
This speculation touches chiefly the
question whether he is going cunning
for the Republican nomination. To some
extent. it also reaches to whether he
will take the nomination on the Bull
Moose ticket, a nomination which he
can have if he will merely give a sign
that he will take it.
The Judge Gary dinner is responsible
only in part for the talk about the
colonel. 1t has in a way served to crys-
talliZe the discussion. So far as known
here. the Gary dinner was not political
and was not given with the object of 60

majority having five.
Dayton, Ohio, has a commission of

of general policy. and a "city man

who looks after the administrative
work.

older form OF government, by mayor

There are eighty other cities in the
United States with a commission form
of government similar to that of the
District of Columbia, according to
municipal statistics made public by the
Census Bureau this afternoon.
Policewomen are employed I'm twenty
six cities while no fewer than 122 OF the
2o4 cities have their police departments
on a civil service basis.
One OF the most significant features
of the report shows that the policemen
of Washington have a longer time to
serve to attain the maximum grade than
those OF any other city. The Census
Bureau says:
Among the cities OF 100000 or more
the longest term OF service necessary to
attain the highest grade is found in
Washington, d. c., where, after three
years of service at 5000 and FIVE more
at y ,0s0, the patrolman finally receives
Sl,2OO per annum."

Municipal prohibition prevails In
fifteen cities, State prohibition in seven

In three. In fifteen cities certain
saloons are licensed to sell malt liquors

facts, will soon be published

That Colonel Is to Take Big
Part in Convention.
OPTION EXPIRES TOMORROW
Reservations Were Made Week
Ago After Conference at
Oyster Bay.

CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-Reports that
Colonel Roosevelt will take hand in
the Republican national convention
gained credence in Chicago today, when
admission was made that Roosevelt S
friends have taken an option on the
Florcntine room at the Congress Hotel
for the period Of the convention.
The option expires tomorrow. Medill
Mccormick who conferred with Colonel
Roosevelt Saturday. Is speeding to Chi
cago today to report the colonels decl-
sion to his friends here.
The reservation was tentatively made
by Harold Ickes. chairman of the Fro
sressive party, the Congress manage
ment said.
.Ickes said ne would tell us today or
tomorrow to make the reservation per-
manent."
The reservation was made last week
Immediately after the conference here
between Ickes and George w. Perkins
lckes at that time declared Roosevelt
had asserted h would not come to the
convention Mccormick then was sent
to New York for conference with
Roosevelt.
The FIorertine room at the congress
accommodates 800 persons, besides nav
ing quarters for offices.
According to one political work"'
who has seen Roosevelt within the
last month, the 'coloners position is
this:
He will not be a candidate himself
under any circumstances.
He will support p man Of CumminS
type il nominated by the Republicans.

Gary and Gary's friends number OF
