Albany Herald: II Is a very easy mat
ter to put good planks in a platform, es-

ming on any sort Of a platform, as is the

Seventh congressional district here last

Lawrenceville News: A party too weak
to stand by itself and dependent for life
upon fusion with other elements not in
harmony with its leading plans and pur-
poses Is pOweriess to accomplish anything
and ought TO go out Of business. The pop
ulists took a long step toward dissolution
when they nominated democrat for Pres
ident. They know that disintegration has
set in here. and that this is the last cam
paign In which straightout fight be-
tween democracy and pOpulism viii ever
be made in Georgia. After this cam
paign the pOpulists will divide up be-
tween the democratic, republican and pro-
hibitfon parties and new issues viii be
pushed to the front.

pose Gov. Atkinson was reared under the

democrats honored him with their suf-
frage, and sent him a beardless boy to
represent them in the legislative halls Of
the state, and that, but for the fact
that his young ambition was not willing
to await occasion he would to-day be
worshipping before the lares and penates
Of democracy, II cannot be believed that
he will precipitate an acrimonious con-
test such as might be indicated by that
section Of his platform which declares
that THE price of office in Georgia under
democratic rule is obedience to party
masters
