Perry Home journal: There are many
in Houston who favor neither Gordon nor
Bacon for Governor. and primary would
force them TO vote for Gordon or Bacon
delegates, or be left entirely without a
voice in the matter. The mass meeting
will give them all a chance, therefore let's
have an immense mass meeting of repre-
sentative Houston Democrats.
Calhoun Times: Pointers in the contest
for Congress in this district clearly indi-
cate the nomination OF Judge Fain on first
ballot. He will 90 into the convention
with delegates favOring his nomination
from Cobb and the six counties com pris-
ing his judicial circuit-eighteen votes.
Seventeen and fraction will nominate,
unless the twO-thirds rule be adopted.
There is no reason or necessity for or fair
ness in such rule. IL generally operates
to defeat the will Of the people.

gressiOnal conventions. Since the
retirement of Judge Simmons from
the GubernatoTial race and the for
NAL announcement OF Gen. Gordon's can
didacy we have heard Of some dlsapprOba-
ton OF that action. Some OF the ardent
supporters of Gen. Gordon desire that
delegates be chosen by primary election,
and it may be that an effort will be made
to induce the Executive Committee 10 re-
consider the action taken in this matter.
