ACTION of THE STATE COMMITTEE
Is Awaited with Much Interest by
Democrats.

The probable action of the State Ex-
ecutive Committee on Mr.. Osborne's ap-
peal at its meeting Saturday, is a mat
ter of speculation all over the state. A
prominent Democrat from Middle Geor-
gia, who was in Atlanta day or two ago,
is quoted by the Constitution as saying:
IT don't care to have 1t understood that
1 doubt the Jurisdiction of the committee
in the Chatham county matter, for that
is a question for the committee 10 decide
for itself. 1t is true, however, that should
the committee decide upon meeting, to
interfere, it would be a novel proceeding
In this state. The issue is local to Chat
ham oJunty or TO the Eastern circuit
which is Chatham county, and 1 do not
see yet In what way the committee can
take hand. Ii may be that the friends
of Solicitor Osborne merely seeks friendly
suggestion at the hands of the State Com
mittee and 1t Is probable that this is all
the committee will decide to give. The
idea that the members of the committee
can do anything more than suggest that
Solicitor Osborne be given representation
at the ballot box and on the Purging Com
mittee In Chatham, is by no means clear"
