One of the most prominent democrats in
Georgia, man who is thoroughly in touch
with democratic sentiment in all parts of
the state and who is himself a very active
worker for the party's good, advanced an
idea concerning this congressional race
yesterday, which is worthy of consideration
by all who nave the welfare of the party
at heart.
"There is one great reason" said he,
''why, in my opinion it is very important
that we should send Colonel Livingston
and Congressman Moses back to congress.
Those are the only two men the Georgia
delegation who represent directly the farm
ing interests, that is the only two men
who themselves live on farms and are in
direct personal touch with the farmers.
The great bulk of the democratic party is
made up of farmers. The third party peo-
pie are making the strongest kind of eff
forts to get them, and if defeat the
only two farmers on our delegation and
send lawyers in their places, I'm afraid
the effect on the farmers who are sticking
faithfully to the party may not be good
one"

The Savannah Press says that the trlehds

The Madison Advertiser has the follow
ing:
South Georgia furnished to the senate
the Hon. Robert G. Mitchell, Of Thomas
vile, who presided over that body two
years ago. North Georgia put forward her
gifted son. Hon. Alex Stephens Clay, who
presided over the last state senate. Now it
is middle Georgas turn and The Adver-

place than is our own fellow townsman,
Hon William A. Broughton. We hope the
members of that august body, when they
meet to elect a presiding officer, will select
Morgans gifted SON."

mistaken, We will have the crowned heads
OF Europe a our feet and asking for our
