Conyers Banner: Now that Gov. Atkin-
son and Chairman Clay have spoken out
against the holding of a senatorial pri-
mary on the 9th of June, we urge our ex-
| ecutive committee to rescind it's action as
to that at least.

Atlanta Journal: The Americas Times
| Recorder, Mr.. Crisps home organ free
and unlimited silver coinage paper of the
hghting" kind, a mover in any movement
TO aid the ex-speaker in his candidacy for
| the Senate, a daily that speaks out in
schoor' and knocks the tambourine for the
slIVer procession, has this to say. and it's
| good, sound sense: THE candidate and
Now will Ii support Mr. duBignon If the
| national. platform declares for sound
money? Its conscience answers yes"
Townsville Times Enterprise: An effort
is being made to create the impression that
| because few county executive commit
| tees have not mentioned the sena torial
primary, the friends of Mr.. duBignon and
sound sou money are opposed to primaries.
Mr.. duBignon has publicly endorsed the
primaries, and his friends all over the
state viii be ready to vote on the question
| in October but they do not propose 20 be
| dragooned into it in June.
Lawrenceville News: Flem duBignon
has invited Judge Crisp to a joint canvass
| of the state but he must still be suffering
from hoarseness from the three or four
with Hoke Smith, as he has failed to show
up, and is in Washington city Industrious
| ly engaged in writing interviews for his
Atlanta organ urging his friends to insist
on June primaries, so that his opponent
will not have an opportunity either to
meet him or the democrats of the state
And this is the fellow who pretends to be
SO solicitous about giving the folks a
chance. Bah.
Statesboro Times: The Augusta Chron-
icle proffers the suggestion that Mr.. du-
Bignon manifested a disposition to perch
on the fence in regard to the financial
question, and that this will initiate
against his candidacy. The people will re-
collect that Mr.. Crisp was public man,
and that his constituents had the right
to know his attitude upon the same oues-
ton long before they did. He had no
right to be on the fence, and yet he was
so to such an extent that it was not until
comparatively recent date that the state
OF Georgia knew where to locate him
The people have known exactly where to
candidate for the United States Senate
ana that was just as soon as it was any of
the people business.
Macon Telegraph: The friends of Judge
Crisp claim with considerable degree Of
confidence that he will sweep the state
there was no danger of the populists send
ing any members to the legislature, it is
some justification, but inasmuch as only
democratic counties can have voice in
the actual nomination and election of a
democratic senator, II would be interesting
to know the basis for the assertion that
Mr.. Crisp will have a walk over in Geor-
gia on June or at any other time Mr.
Crisp's strength is very much greater
than Mr.. duBignOn's in those counties
which will be represented in the legislature
the men nominated by the democratic IA
ty will be elected, Mr.. duBignon's Strength
overtops that of Mr. Crisp.
Gainesville Eagle: The snap primary Job
put up by Brother Crisp to elect himself
and by Father Howell 10 beat Hoke Smith
Is found to be heavily loaded, and the peo-
pie are turning IL loose like a hot potato
AT first ii looked like a fine thing for
Brother Crisp TO slide into the Senate on
and Il was; but, after mature refection
the party leaders see IL sWarming with
poisonous bacilh. and that IL is calculated
to lay the democratic party out stiff and
cold. AS everybody not fool knows. the
motive Of this June snap was to have
the people express a choice before the tide
Of education had swept Mr.. CrisD's foun-
dations of sand from under his feet and
to forestail the action Of the national con
ventiOn in the event Il made a sound money
platform. That is why June suited Mr.
Crisp and his leaders better than Oct T.
Men can learn a great deal IN four months
Many beresies can find a grave in thar

often IL doesn't take much time. The
