NO COMPROMISE FOR THEM.
Liberal Club Leaders Say So After
Conference.

Liberal Club Leaders Say So After "a
Conference.
There will be no compromise by the Lib
eral and Citizen clubs This information
was given to the Morning News last night
by a prominent member of the Liberal
Club. who is in a position to speak under
standingly. The position Of The Liberal
Club relative to any compromise PROPOSE
tion is supposed to have been reached at a
conference of the leaders of the Liberal
Club held at the office of Maj. P. w. Mel
drim last night
There has been talk of a compromise for
several days. 1t is understood that over
lures were made by prominent citizen not
connected with either club The conditions
of the proposed compromise were that the
Liberal Club take two out of three of the
legislators, the Citizens Club retaining one
of their candidates now on the ticket The
gentleman whose name was to be retained
is understood to be Mr. w. w. Gordon, Jr
The county officers were TO remain as they
are, and no fight was to be made on that
line, at least not by either faction now in
the field. AS the three county offices are
held by Liberal Club members, and as it
is thought that the incumbents will all
stand for reelection, this was giving the
Liberal Club the county offices. There was
nothing mentioned as to municipal affairs.
The club leaders have maintained ali
along that there would be no compromise.
Ever since the offer was spoken of tho
opinion of both leaders and voters has
apparently been against compromise.
1--WE are not lighting for Offices said q
prominent member yesterday, IF we were,
we might accept the compromise. We
are nghting for principles, not Offices"
What effect the refusal of the Liberal
Club people to consider favorably the
proposition made to them will have upon
the local political situation will be await

Postoflice Inspectors r. f, Barry of At

see what he says. II is in the Morning.
News The Morning News is a good
paper, and, I believe, tells the truth
Mr.. Wright then read from a prohibit
ton paper an account of Gov Atkinson's
address in Meriwether county a few days
later, I'M which he was quoted as saying
that II a change in the liquor laws is de-
sired by the people of the state let them
register their will in the choice Of their
representatives, and he would pledge him.
self to see that will enforced.
Mr. Wright said he wished to declare
squarely that he was a prohibitionist.
Il am no fanatic" he declared Il do not
believe in coniscation of any mans prop
erty II such a law is passed it should be
framed so as to do the least injury to the
men who have their money invested in this

liquor business and If were governor of
Georgia ] would veto any such bill. Our
scheme is this: We believe that the sale
of liquor as beverage is wrong. In the 105
counties of Georgia where there Is now
prohibition, the law will be left as It is. In
this county places will not be licensed to
sell liquor, but a dispensary will be estab-
lished to sell liquor for proper purposes.
but not as a beverage, without profit and
without interest to the county"
Mr.. Wright predicted that this is the
coming issue, whether successful this
year or not. Men are going crazy about
the financial issue. he said, but all the sill
yer dollars and all the gold coin and all
the paper currency in the country will not
pay the annual liquor bill Of this coun-
try.
Mr.. Wright made a fervent appeal in
behalf Of prohibition for the sake of the
women and children. He pictured the
curse Of drink eloquently. Moral clean
ness he declared was above cost He
received considerable applause for his re-
marks, though the majority of the au-
dience did not share in it.
Savannah, he spoke Of as the wettest
town in Georgia. This is my position"
he declared. How does my friend stand?
He comes here and throws his arms
around you and tells you, Boys, prohibit
ton shall not be enacted "
Mr.. Wright closed by saying that he
had expressed his honest convicJ ions, and
called upon all who were opposed to ma
chine domination in politics and party
misrule to support him in the interest
of a higher standard Of government
There were calls for Mr.. Clark when
Mr.. Wright sat down, but the audience
was already breaking up.
Mr.. Clark said that Il was late and the
audience was doubtless tired. He in
tended, however, he said. to state his
position fully to the people of Chatham,
on both state and national issues, before
the campaign is over.
Mr. Wright is stopping at the De Soto.
He will leave this morning to continue his
campaign in the state.
