PRESIDENT WINS
ARMED ship FIGHT
House Tables Warning Measure
BY Vote of 276 to 143.
PARTY LINES WIPED OUT
Lower Chamber Follows Senate, De-
Gliding Rights of American Citizens
Must Not be Abridged.

The United States house of rep
r~esentatives upheld President Will
son in his position that American
citizens should not be warned
off armed merchantmen Of belliger-
ent nations, by tabling the McLemore
resolution (Which provided for such
"warning") by an overwhelming vote
almost two to one for thus suppress
ing that measure. The vote was yeas,
276; nays, 143.
The vote was largely on non-parti-
san lines, and the dominant note OF
the debate that proceeded the final
vote was hat the president should
not be embarrassed in his dealings
with Germany, or any other power,
by the utterances or intervention OF
congress. The disposition OF the Nc
Lemore resolution followed that Of
the Gore resolution, which the senate
tabled last Friday by a vote of sixty
eight to fourteen; and signifies the
majority in both branches of congress
disapproves of a warming"
Among those who voted to support
the president were Republicans from
Pennsylvania. !
Before the final vote on tabling, two
test votes had taken place. By sub
~stantial majorities, each indorsed the
presidents attitude. In quick success
sion the house rejected proposals to
allow anti-administration amendments
to the McLemone resolution, and then
adopted a special rule to consider the
resolution itself, the administration
forces beating the opposition by votes
of 256 to 100 and 271 to 1873, respec-
lively.
President Wilson remained in the
cabinet room with several members
the vote on the previous question"
in the house. He was told the result
was a victory for the administration
and expressed satisfaction. He did
not wait to hear the final vote on the
rule.
Representative Garrett, of Tennes-
see, moved the previous question"
The vote shut off debate and made
amendments to the McLemore resolu-
ton impossible. The house then
turned to the adoption of the rule
itself, under which the McLemore
resolution was to be debated four
hours.
Congressman Campbell demanded
the yeas" and nays on the special
rule. The overwhelming majorities
on that and the other vote showed
the administration forces they could
table the McLemore measure easily,
which it did after hours of debate
from all sides of the issue.
With the agitation for a warning
in congress finally disposed of it was
said the president and Secretary Of
State Lansing would now resume the
submarine negotiations with Germany.

HOKE SMITH TO VOTE
AGAINST HUGH DORSEY

ATLANT'Ay Ca. Sept. 9.-Senator
Hoke Smith gave out an interview in
Washington in which he stated that he
will undertake to return home by
Tuesday in order to vote in the demo-
cratic state primary, and that he will
cast his ballot against Hugh Dorsey
for governor. AS to his choice, he said
he would vote for the candidate who
appeared to have the strongest pros
pect of carrying Fulton county against
Dorsey. Explaining why he is oppos-
cd to Dorsey, Senator Smith mentioned
Dorsey's association with enemies of
President Wilson and the democratic
party and his affiliations with the L.
& N. railway.

MARSHALL TAKES 4 RAP
At CANDIDATE HUGHES

WINCHESTER, KY, Sept. 9.-The
main reason that the country is turn
ing Democratic was the desire of the
Republicans to get in, declared Vice
President Thomas R. Marshall in a
speech reviewing the Republican
criticism of President Wilson's admin
istration.
He said that Hughes campaign
speeches were but an echo often heard
of partisan speeches in the senate. He
declared that the new chief interest in
the Republican candidate for president
consists in ascertaining whether he
belongs TO the progressive face or the
stand-pat neck of the party.
Mr.. Marshall said, "the line Of de-
markation between the two wings of
the party are clearly defined, but he
hasn't found his bearings.

DR.. Lie. HARDMAN
.DISAPP POINTE:D D
THE PEOPLE HERE
(BY cRANsToN wILLIAMs.)

A large crowd of disappointed
Americus and Sumter county citizens
gathered at the court house about
noon here expecting to hear a politi-
cal address of DR.. L. G. Hardman, can
didate for governor, who had been adj
vertised to make speech at IL o'clock
yesterday.
1t developed that DR.. Hardman
spoke at Waycross Friday night, and
lad an engagement yesterday morn
ing at Triton. He was to have spo-
ken here at noon Saturday, and at
Columbus last night To fill the Tiff
ton and Columbus engagements it was
made necessary to cancel the Ameri-
Gus speech, and it was impossible to
notify his friends here in time to an
nounce to the crowd concerning the
delay of DR.. Hardman.
There was an evident keenness of
disappointment. Many friends had
gathered to hear his address, while
many other citizens anticipated the
address with pleasure.
DR.. Hardman has already visited
Americas since the present campaign
began, but he has not made a poliit-
ical address. He has been in constant
touch with his friends here, and he is
expected to poll an excellent vote in
the Tuesdays primary.
Emmett Houser, the well known
Fort Valley citizen, came down to
hear the Doctors address, and later
to fill the engagement for DR.. Hard
man. He was delayed by automobile
trouble and did not arrive until the
middle of the afternoon. Mr.. Houser
is well known over the state, and was
prominent in the promotion of the pro-
paganda for the creation of Peach
county.

FULTON LINING Up
BEHIND HARRIS IN
THE TUESDAY STAND

ATLANTA, Ga. Sept 9-Probably
never before in Fulton county have so
many different and opposing political
leaders Of the city and county united on
a gubernatorial candidate as they have
in the present race for Governor Nat E.
Harris.
In the last 4S hours the governor
has been given strong public indorse-
ments by Asa G. Candler, mayor
elect; by Jesse w. Armistead, who re-
Gently opposed Mr. Gambler for mayor;
by James G. Woodward, the present
mayor. and by other influential At
lantians.
Unless all signs fail, Governor Har-
ris will carry Fulton county by safe
majority over both Hugh Dorsey anc
DR.. L. G. Hardman The most signif-
cant development of the last three days
has been the sudden switch of the
letters to the Harris column When
tice of doping out election results, be-
ever these fellows, who make prac-
gin to hedge their bets on the eve of a
battle of ballots. 1t is usually an in
fallible sign.
Another important factor in the Full
ton county situation is the strong in
terview given out yesterday in Wash
ington by Senator Hoke Smith. in
which he declared that he would re-
turn home Tuesday and cast his ballot
fer the candidate who offers the best
prospect of defeating Hugh Dorsey in
this county.
In giving the reasons why he is op-
posed to Hugh Dorsey, Senator Smith
spoke of the fact that Dorsey sup
ported Joe Brown for the senate two
years ago, when Browns only plat
form was an attack on the labor un-
ions; of Dorsey's close association with
Thomas E. Watson, the arch enemy OF
tie democratic party in Georgia; Of
the fact that Dorsey, while asking the
democrats of Georgia to elect him gov
ernor, has not seen fit to open his
mouth in support on President Wilson;
ard Of the fact that Hugh porsey's law
firm represents the Louisville & Nash
vile railroad in the iatter's attempt to
destroy the Western & Atlantic.
