 Who are the Disorganizers
 MR. EDITOR
 We hear good deal sad about disorga nizers. The Johnsons say that those wht vote for Judge Rector are dsorganizers The reason they give is that Dick John son IS the nominee, and hence those Democrats who refuse to vote for him arc in open Reorganization. Now let us tes their sincerity in Prairie county. Admit for sake of argument, that Dick Johnson was fairly nominated for Governor. John c. Dave is the Democratic candidate for the Legislature in this county-Davie is the nominee of the party. Now, if the Johnson men vote for Dick Johnson be- cause he IS the nominee, ought they not to vote for John C. Davie because he is the nominee of the County Convention for the Legislature Every sensible man would say yes; but these Johnson men say Johnson Is the nominee, and we will vote for him, but # Davie don't votc for Johnson soe aciU not uote for Dauie.
 Rector men say we won't vote for Johnson because his nomination was ob- tained by fraud that votes were given 10 him Tn convention which did not belong to him, and that he neither had majority of the party in the State or a majority of those represented in convention. They say they will vote for Davie, they don't care who he IS for Governor, that 1t is his privilege to vote in that election as he pleases, the action of the State Convention not being binding. They are for him if he votes for Rector, they are for him if he votes for Johnson, because Davie is the nominee and was fairly nominated. Now who are the disorganizers? Is it not plain that they are the Johnson men Is it not plain they go for the man not for principles; is 1t not plain they are trying to gag every Democrat in the county, and by raising the cry of Reorganization, force them into the support of Johnson for Gov ernor, and thereby into an indorsement of the basest fraud and foulest forgery.
 Those Democrats who refuse to support Johnson do so because his nomination was obtained by fraud. That has been de- monstrated beyond the shadow of doubt. Others refuse to support him on grounds of morality. It has been asserted of Dick Johnson, time and again, and the Old Line Democrat has published it, that he was drunkard; but these Johnson men will not recognize any as Democrats who vote against Johnson because, as they say, he is the nominee, and fraud. forgery and intemperance have nothing to do in the matter. If we don't wish to be termed dsorganizers we must swallow the fraud and forgery of the State Convention, and roll 1t as a sweet morsel under our tongues, and indorse drunkenness, and say to the world intemperance is no evil i; the Democratic party don't regard 1t as such, the party has indorsed Dick John son, we are Democrats, its no harm to get tight.
 Now, if these Johnsons are such stick lers for conventions, why don't they go for Davie without and ifs and ands They take Johnson with the frauds and forge- res of the State Convention, and with his incorporate habits. Dayie is also the nominee-no cry of fraud or forgery has been raised agalnst his nomination, and no word can be said against him as a man. His nomination was fair one Johnson's was not. They take Johnson because he was the nominee; ought they not to take Davie too, because he was nominated fairly, and there has been no complaint of his nomination 2 Oh, no 1! they won't take Davie unless he will SUD- port Johnson. Now, are they not disor- ganizers? Do they not assume a ridicu- lous position, and show clearly that they are for the man, caring nothing for prin- ciple2 Is not the presumption strong that they are of the "collar men?"
