our only refuge, our only ark OF safety.
We do not not approve all the democratic
party has done, but with all her faults,
we love her, and shall in the future, as
in the past, devote what talents and in

The Atlanta Journal correspondent from
Warm Springs says OF the convention of
the Fourth congressional district now in
session there: There are politicians here
till you can't rest-six candidates for con-
gress, with one office to be filled. six poles
and only one persimmon; and not a man
in the lot with more than seven votes
pledged, whereas seventeen are necessary
to an election. Furthermore, the candi-
dates and their friends are determined
there shall be no dark horse. There is
some talk of nominating Hon. Louis E
Garrard of Columbus. The Muscogee del
egation is the only one here that is not
instructed but the nomination of Garrard
is possible only after every other candi-
date has practically died in the last
ditch. 1t is extremely probable that the
four votes of Muscogee will al the oppor-
tune time be cast for Hon. Warner Hill
of Meriwether and with those he already
has from his own county will give him
eight. Mr.. Hills friends count on five more
as sure when they are needed, and when
some of the other favorite sons have given
| up hope. That would still leave him four
shsrt, but his supporters are working
tooth and toe. A feature Of the campaign
is the fight that has been made on Hon.
Charles l.. Noses the present congress-
man, who is now serving his third term.
Mr.. Moses went into office on the alliance
wave, defeatinf Congressman Grimes
This year a number of people who be-
lieve in rotation decided that Charlie"
had had It long enough. Nobody charges
a combination to encompass his defeat
| but somehow or somehow else last spring
candidates sprung up all over the district
until the Fourth looked like a political
asparagus bed. Nearly every county had
its favorite son.
