" by the Democracy of the Fourth
District Should Support Mr.. Proctor.
In order that political party may be
strong and popular it should be organized
and governed by just rules, which should
be unanimously Endorsed and carried out
by sill Of its members.
The chairman of the democratic state
executive committee has said that q man
can be good democrat and believe in the
OcsIa demands. and be is the highest au-
thorlty IN Georgia on this subject.
When the Camden county alliance met nt
Ovens Ferry, April IA, at the solicitation Of
Few alliancemen Mr.. d. r. Proctor was in
duced TO become a candidate for the DEM
ocratic nomination for senator, which was
made known at the time and was no secret.
ABOUT April % the Camden county dem
ocratlo executive committee met at st.
Marys and ordered primaries to be held at
the several militia districts of the county in
order that the people should have better
opportunity to express their views as to
VINO should represent them, and prescribing
rules, ETC., by which they should be held.
The primaries were to be held May IA, Just
one month after ID was known that Mr..
Proctor would be In the race, which was
ample time for those opposed to have organs
lied against him.
After the action of the primaries the ex-
ecutive committee met, counted the votes
and declared MIR. Proctor the successful can
didate, and gave creden tials to Proctor dele
gates to the senatorial convention. Charl-
ton county selected its delegates in the
regular way, we'll knowing that Mr.. Proctor
was candidate, and Glynn did likewise.
When the convention assembled at Owens
Ferry, July 8, and organized, Mr.. Proctor's
name was placed in nomination and received
second, but on account of some pariia
mentarY misunderstanding the convention
adjourned without ballotinR for any candi-
date, although two-thirds of the delegates
had declared that they would have voted
for MIR. Proctor If they had had an oppor-
tunity.
The chairman Of that convention having
decided in council, with other delegates ;,
that they had not done the work they were
elected to do, and that the convention had
no authority TO delegate power given ex-
pressly to it to another body, called it TO re-
convene at Owens Ferry, Aug d.
AT that convention Mr.. Proctor received
two-thirds of the entire vote of the conven-
ton and was declared the regular nominee
for the democracy of the Fourth senatorial
district. Now, therefore, Mr.. Proctor, be-
ing an upright and Christian gentleman,
who has always been an incorporating
democrat, who stands now upon the demo.
cratic platform both state aud national,
and who declares that he intends TO support
the state and national ticket, having re-
oeived the nomination of the Democratic
party Of the Fourth senatorial district &C
cording TO rules laid down by that party,
with no fraud or charge OF fraud
in the action OF the primaries,
comes forward and asks the support of all
democrats. How can loyal democrats who
believe in perpetuating democratic princi-
pies with an organization vote against him2
Consider these facts carefully, fellow
citizens, and vote accordingly and you will
be right. B. ATKINSON,
