Judge S. c. Atkinson Goes
to Attend Meeting in
Atlanta Monday
MFMBfR OF isiE COMMITTEE
He Thinks Primary Will be Called
for Either May a or May 1s.
state Convention Must occur
Before National Convention

There will be an early primary this
year and in all probability either May
II or May Is. will be agreed upon as
the date.
Judge S. G. Atkinson, one of the
members of the state democratic ex,
ecutive committee from the Elyenth
congressional district left last night
for Atlanta, to attend the meeting of
the committee, which has been called
for Monday.
The committee has been called to
gether by Chairman e. T. Brown, of
Atlanta, for Monday noon, at the Pied
mont Hotel. By far the most impor-
tant business that will come before the
meeting is the fixing Of the date for
the primary. Almost all the country
primaries will be held at the same
time as the opinion of all the promi-
nent politicians that very early date
will be fixed for the state primary.
VIII Elect Delegates.
At the primary delegates to the state
convention will be elected. and these
delegates in turn, when they meet
in convention will elect delegates to
the national convention. Sufficient
time must therefore intervene. between
th holding of the stat primary ard the
session Of the NATIONAL fosventifh for
the state eonve lon to l6nsot a,i eiect
delegates, Thesnational COP re,ltion is
Ito be held in st. Leais early in July.
Several weeks or q month should in
tervene between the state and the ma
tional conventions, and the primary
will almost certainly be held in May
as some time must necessarily be Civ.
en- between the primary and the state
convention. The state primary Is usu-
ally held on a Wednesday. 1t is very
probable that either May II or May 18
will be selected by the executive com
mittee for the state primary, The
state convention would then follow in
June.
Must be Early Primary.
Mr.. Atkinson, one of the members
of the committee from the Eleventh
district, said the fixing Of the date was
the most important matter that would
be taken up.
THE primary must necessarily be
held early" Mr.. Atkinson said, and
it is probable that it will Oe fixed for
either May IL or May 1S. The com
mittee will also make the rules for the
holding of the primary. No changes
are contemplated that / know Of. The
only question Of any Importance in
making rules it whether it will be prop
er to use last years registration list
lor not think 1t probable that the
registration for last year will be al
lowed

JAPAN FAILED TO SHUT
RUSSIANS IN HARBOR
WAR CORRESPONDENTS ARE
SLOW WITH THE NEWS

J London, Feb. 27.-War correspon
dents and Europeans in Japan, com
menting in amazement upon the sue
cess of japanese officials in preserving
secrecy regarding all the operation.
Of the var, declare this conspiracy o.
silence is not only confined to govern
ment and service circles, but that i
extends to every section Of the com
munity.
All classes of people are submitting
with great patience to being deprived
of news, which they recognize as i'm.
perative to the success Of the nationtI
cause.
1t is undoubtedly in pursuance of
this policy that the japanese account
of the Port Rrthur attacks has lust
been published.
In the meantime the report of
Japanese landing near vladiyostok is
an important and new developments in
the Japanese operations. 1t points
to ah attack on Vladiyostok from
which Posiet Bay is only little more
than 20 miles distant.
The report that the railroad has
been cut between Harbin and vladi-
vostok may possibly be connected with
these operations; but until more def
mite information is forthcoming this
report must be received with reserve.
1t has already been rported from To,
kio that certain Russian forces were
concentrated at Possiett Bay.
Almost all the English newspapers
in discussing Viceroy Alexieff's report
incline to the belief that Admiral Togo
succeeded in so far to make the chan
mel impossible for large battleships
even if it is still free to small crafts,
and presume that the reported second
attack, if it did not occur, was devot
ed to an attempt to sink furher obsta-
cles to navigation.
The London Post today devotes Al
long edi4ariai IN d historical rnenra ~
tn rapid growth of American activity
in Far Eastern affairs; comparing the
present attitude Of the United States
with her passive interest in the Chino
Japanese war. The newspaper re-
marks on the notable pro-Japanese
feeling in the United States after
such a long traditional friendship with
Russia, and contends that American
friendship for the empire was always
artificial.
Admiral Dewey's guns, the paper
continues, literally shattered the super
stltion that Russia. was the appointed
friends of Great Britain the appointed
enemy of the United Stataes.

cludes, "that the appearance OF Amer

tional affairs, and her unmistakable
hostility to Russia, is destined to be.
