Carrollton Times: We trust that the
democrats of Carroll will in the future
steer clear of primaries They are a
humbug and the will of the people is
never expressed.
Macon Evening News: The fact that the
Constitution favors the holding of only
one democratic convention in Georgia this
year is quite sufficient proof that there is
something dead up the creek.
Dalton Argus: That effort to get the
state democratic executive convention to
call only one state convention is dirty
move. Its object is not apparent, but you
may rest assured that those who advocate
departure from democratic precedent
mean mischief against democracy.
A lively contest is on between Hon. G.

Lawrenceville News: There is an ele-
ment in Georgia, which is led by the Con-
stitution, disposed to tote its own skillet
and to set up an independent creed in de-
fiance of the action of the national con-
Vention. The one convention movement will
find no supporters outside of this faction
and we hope that none of them have
crept into the state executive committee
Let us stand by precedent
Alpharetta Free Press: The Atlanta Con-
stitutions call for only one convention
is too thin not to be seen through even
by a one-eyed man. The democrats of
Georgia want two conventions. and thew

to know what right the Constitution has
TO raise its asinne voice in the discussion
of questions of democratic party expe-
