Marshall of In diana, in his formal speech of ac ceptance of the democratic vice presidential nomination, delivered to the notification committee here today, attacked the republican party on the grounds that it had fostered special privilege to the point of mak ing men everywhere socialistic In theory if not in conduct. In this connection, he said: "It is idle for a thoughtful man in America, whether millionaire or pauper, to longer play the ostrich. Safety does not consist in hiding one's head in the sands of either sentiment or hope. It is foolish for the vastly rich to keep on in sisting that more and more shall lie added to their riches through a spacious system of special legisla tion ostensibly enacted to run the government, in reality enacted to loot the peopleV "It is worse than Ignorance for them to smile at the large body of intelligent Americans who regard themselves as fortunate If the de bit and credit, accounts of life bal ance at the end of the year; and to assume that the mighty many, who are becoming convinced that that so cial system that we call democracy s but a glittering generality, will long endure the industrial slavery being produced. "Whether voting the ticket or not, men everywhere looking upon the awful injustice of . this economic system are becoming socialistic in theory if not in conduct." 'And shall any fair-minded man say that If It redounds to the in terests of the people of this country that a hundred men shall control Its business to the good of every one, that there is anything fallaci ous in the theory that government instead of transferring business to a favored few for the benefit of all should itself discharge that busi ness for the benefit of all. "I do not hesitate to say that if it be impossible to restore this re public to its ancient ideals, which I do not believe, and I must make the Ultimate choice between the patern alism of the few and the socialism of the many, count me and my house with the throbbing heart of humanity.

Washington, Aug. 20. For near ly two, hours the house listened to a surprising and acrimonious debate between Representative Rainey, ol Illinois, a democrat, and Represen tative Austin, of Tennessee, a repub lican, in which each charged the oth er with consorting with the "water- power trust's" lobbyists and mis stating facts. So bitter was the feei ng between them that the sergeant- at- arms occupied a strategic posi tion near the disputants. Certain waterpower legislation pressed by Austin, Rainey insinuated was drawn in the interest of the "waterpower trusts." He previously had an nounced his intention to block It. Rainey read from a carefully pre pared manuscript, seeking to con nect directly with the trust. Austin replied with bitter emphasis, brand ing the charges made against him as "untruthful statements.' The house listened, but took no action. Rainey charged that Austin was intereted in waterpower legislation and that a "well-trodden trail" led from Austin's congressional office to the waterpower trust offices. The incident was a sequel to the recent exchange the two members when Kainey objected to certal nbills In troduced by Austin and Austin re taliated by calling Rainey "a dream er and a demagogue." GEORGIA PRIMARY TOMORROW. Several Candidates For Governor in the Race. Atlanta. Aug. 20. Exoert nolitl. cians here on all sides of the fence are pretty generally agreed that there will be few surprises and not ery many neck-and-neck races in the state primary elections tomor row. Predictions this year tallv better and are taken to mean more than usual. lane the governor's race, for instance. It is conceded that Hon. Hooper Alexander has gained strength remarkably since his late and unexpected entry into the field, but nobody seems to seriously en pect that he has any chance of act ually winning th? race. Bets are offered freely, with practically no takers that John M. Slaton will get twice as many votes as both his op ponents put together. Atlanta gamb lers, who have no earthly political interest in the race are offering odds that. Slaton will carry 100 counties The remaining forty-six they split between Alexander and Joe Hill Hall, with the former slightly In the lead. If general sentiment is worth anything in forecasting, the victory of Senator Bacon over H. H. Perry far the United States senatorship Is certain. Speaking in general terms it is expected that most of the state house officers whose places are ron-test-d will hold on to their jobs. Attorney General Felder, School Commissioner.'-Britain,. Prisan Com missioner i.indsey, Prison Commis sioner Patterson. Appellate Judge Pottle, are all having to fight for their positions, but it is expected here that a majority If not all ot them will be re-elected. The railraad commissioner and agriculture races are more compli cated and prediction Is made with less certainty. The state-wide vote, it is believed, will be u rather light one.
