FELDER RACES SLATON;
SMITH-BROWN FIGHI ON
»
Attorney General Thomas S. Felder, according to all indica
tions today, will enter the race for the governorship, as the Hoke
Smith candidate against John M. Slaton. Once more the state
will see the Smith and Brown factions arrayed in battle.
The question of financial support alone, it is understood,,
keeps the attorney general from making a definite ’announce
ment.
He was to a: live from .Macon today
and to announce at once —if lie has
the looked-f<>r promises of financial
lj;< < kina. He is said to have received
definite assurances that Senator Smith
will contribute substantially to the
campaign fund, but will take no ac
tive part in the campaign. .Mr. Heid
es will hold a conference with certain
political friends and then make a for
mal announcement.
Has Been Eager
To Got in Fight.
The attorney general has been eager
fc, some time to lead the Hoke Smith
forces as a gubernatorial candidate.
Tin annouma me in from Baltimore in
Tim Georgian this week that Congress
man Hardwick had some aspirations in
that line and probably would declare
himself in the tight as soon as he re
turned home quickened the attorney
general's ardor. A number of confabs
wc re held, and today it was generally
believed that Eelder, and not Hard
wick, would lead the anti-Brown hosts
against Slaton.
Erlends of the attorney general will
hold .a meeting in Macon this afternoon
to rieim mine if a sufficient campaign
fund can be raised for him to enter
tin gubernatorial sweepstakes. .Mr.
E‘.|e|. r was in Macon for several days
consulting with leading supporters.
.Just where Joe* Hill Hull, of Bibb, will
come in as a result, of these new de
ca lopnients is a problem. It 1, is been
persistently rumored for some time
th il Hall 'c ould not remain in the race.

Augusta Woman Gets $2,500
From Bankrupt Estate of
Husband by Court Order.
MACON, GA., June 29.—“1 stand on thn

ory Speer. In the United States court,
when he rendered a decision which award
ed the widow of 1,. K. Dicks, of Augusta
the sum of $2,500 out of her deceased hus
band’s estate.
Judge Speer established a precedent in
law for this state, because the estate was
put in the bankruptcy court shortly be
fore Mr. Dicks’ death. an<l able lawyers
for the creditors "opposed the allowance
on the ground that the bankruptcy pro
ceedings vitiated all rights the widow and
children might have bad to the property.
”1 believe the angels In heaven would
award this widow and those four orphans
that allowance if they had a voice in the
matter.” declared the judge, “and as hu
man laws are founded on divine justice
and reason I now declare that, in the lan
guage of Disraeli, I stand with the angels,
and let an order issue accordingly.”

' BALTIMORE, June 29.—With the twelfth ballot for presi
dent ending in a deadlock, hut with Champ Clark far in the
lead, the sensation of the day in the Democratic national con-
' vention was the prediction by Chairman Ollie James that the
deadlock would be broken before the afternoon closed. Chair- -
man James added to this prediction his conclusion that conven
tion would complete its labors hv 9 o’clock tonight.
Abrogation of the two-thirds
rule was suggested by Mr. James
as the probable means of over
coming the deadlock. He said he
felt he had the power, and that
this power might he exercised in
order to bring about the nomina
tion of the candidate having a
majority of the votes.
('hairman Jones did not say he would
abrogate the rule, but that he had the
power to do so at any time that a ma
jority is prejared to sustain him. He
asserts that If he wanted to "ride ropgh
shod,” he could at any time entertain
a motion to abrogate the two-thirds
rul£ and insist that it is proper to se
lect the nominee by a bare majority.
Champ Clark had such a majority on
the last ballot cast early today. He
predicted tha.t the vice presidential
nominee would be selected in thirty
minutes and that the platform would
be adopted without contest after the
president ial nomination.
A conference of Wilson supporters
was held today with a view to effecting
an alliance with the Underwood forces
at the Democratic national convention.
Representatives of the Underwood con
tingent attended the conference.
The convention, after taking twelve
ballots, adjourned at 3:05 o’clock this
morning until 1 o'clock this afternoon.
The twelfth ballot resulted: Clark,

2 CENTS EVERYWHERE & y re no

derwood. 123; Marshall, 30; Kern, 1:
Bryan, 1; not voting, 2 1-2.
Leaders Active;
“Something Doing.”
The dawn, dull and gray, was flirting
with a new day of action at 3:05
o’clock this morning when the Demo
cratic national convention dropped th#
curtain of the most sensational ses
sion ever seen In a great national gath
ering, with no one of the candidates be
fore the convention w’lthin sight of the
presidential nomination. It was agreed
that the combat should be resumed at
1 o’clock this afternoon, and after a
brief period of sleep the leaders on all
sides were again at the hand-to-hand
struggle, preparatory to the renewal of
hostilities when the gavel dropped In
the afternoon.
The early morning encounter was the
story of a stampede that failed the nar
rative of a running, beautifully man
aged attack and defense. It brought
Champ Clark to the possession on one
ballot of a majority of the convention,
but It failed of its purpose—the shak
ing loose of the bulldog hold that th«
Wilson men had on their nest egg
strength.
To keep the record straight and hav«
a homing point for mental calculation
one must hark back a couple of hourt
to pick up the essential fact that when
the sixth ballot was taken at 9:4M
o’clock last night the first of the nighl
