100 NAMES ARE
ADDED WOMEN
REGISTER HEAVY
May Swing Balance Of Power 4
Approaching City Primary
$50 ON BOOKS
Carswell, McMath, Mitchell Avc
In The Race For Places AS
Aldermen

The fact that today more than
100 voters have registered at city
hall, is the outstanding feature Of
a political situation that has not
been eqralled in the past decade
in this city S municipal affairs.
With a normal voting power Of
about 500, TIE fact that in the past
10 days 100 voters have signifiod
their intention of participating in The
city election, is but an indication OF
the tremendous interest that is being
displayed on all sides.
With four candidates in the race
for mayor, all of them running on
platforms that sound a keynote OF
business efficiency, and statements
issuing from the various headquar-
ters tending to qualify their plat
forms as the date of the election
draws near, the voters themselves,
usually lethargic in their attitude,
have shown a vital and surprising
interest in the approaching election.
This is emphasized by the regis
tration and the fact that of the 1100
voters who have qualified, at least
$50 of them are women.
This is taken to mean that inc wo-
men are going to take a decided
hand in the political cards as theY
are dealt on November 8th. Their,
are many and conflicting claims as
to the way this vote will.sWipg, bo5
there is every Indication that witl
a solid voting strength of $50, the
women viii swing the election and
will come pretty close to naming the
next mayor of Americus.
There were several announcements
for alderman today, including w. +.
Mitchell, E. L. Carswell and w. I.
McMath.

HENRY FORD TO
BUY MORE ROADS
Automobile Manufacturer Neither
Affirms Nor Denies Persist
ent Reports

DETROIT, Oct. "a. - Is Henry
Ford buying more railroads?
No affirmation or denial comes
from the automobile manufacturers
office here. Yet persistent rumors
declare that Ford not only contem-
plates buying the Virginian Railroad
but the Wabash system as well.
Railroad gossip has it that nego-
tiations for the purchases have been
in progress for several weeks. Mean
time, the favorite topic of discus
sion in affected territory is Whats
it all about?"
Henry Ford's methods of opera
tion have been full Of surprises since
the days he began quantity produc-
tion Of autos. His raising of work
ers' pay to then unprecedented 1ig-
Hres, his ill-fated Ford peace expe-
dition Of 1915-16, the purchase and
reorganization Of methods on the
Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railway,
his gigantic Muscle Shoals develop
ment plan all give grounds for spec
ulation now as to what startling new
plan Ford may be preparing.
Control Of the Wabash system
would give Ford clear access from
Omaha and Kansas City to Toledo.
From there to Buffalo, the road has
trackage arrangements with an
other road.
Acquisition of the Virginian
would make possible extension Of
Ford's Detroit, Toledo & Ironton
line from Toledo to tidewater in
Virginia. The road extends from
Norfolk to Deepwater, w. Va. IRON
ton, terminus of Ford's line, is 100
miles away, so a connection of these
two would not be difficult task.
Such a rail system would permit
the Ford plants here to bring their
coal from the mining districts on
their own trains, it is said. This,
some claim, is Ford's latest move in
his fight against coal concerns.
