Atlanta, Jan, Atlanta the of Mayor James G.

The demoticn sensation and recall petition § voted strongly vesterd against recall on of Beavers his friends agzainst the officials who opposea him. Tn December the 25 per cent. of the registered votes required to order a recall was Ob- tained and the election ordered for yesterday. . The campaien has been bitter, the men and religion forv d movement, the ministers and the so-callea “‘moral forces” supporting the recall, Bitter attacks were made on the characters of the men who demoted Beavers, The removal of the chief was styled “lynching.” The anti-recall was sup- ported by the three Atianta newspa- pers and a large percentage of the element. s expected that the Jewish vote would be cast against Mayor Wood- ward because he defended the lynch- ing of Leo Frank, but this seems not to have been done. The Atlanta papers fought the re- call on the grounds that its success ! would brand the city as-vicious and corrupt, claiming that city was be- ing slandered by the recall forces. The anti-recall forces say the result does not mean a wide open city. The Atlanta Constitution says: “There is going to be no turning backward or lowering of the city's ! moral standard. Should it be at- tempted, there is none who will be mors speedily or more determinedly on the job to stop it short, than the Constitution. tlantans must organ- ize for thc election of councils and | city administrations which will here- after make a recall clection for any- hody impossible.” aused a circulated was TO PROBE (Correspondence of The Associated Press.)

Jan. 6.—“Every industry the TUnited States that is enjoying normal de- gree of prosperity derives that pros- perity from the awful tragedy that is now devastating the world,” accord- ing to Representative Humphrey, a | Washington republican, who deliv- ered a speech in the house yesterday.
