They Will Have to Bear
Expense Of The Comma
Primary
A VERY PECULIAR CONDITION
A Majority of the Counties Have Held
Their Primaries and There is no
Money for the State Primary
on August 22.

Atlanta, Aug. 1.-THE state primar,
on August % will cost $4,000 an,
the state democratic executive com
mittce has less than $1,l00 to conduct
lt-in exact figures $1,O50 raised by
a $50 assessment of the guhcrratorlaI
and state house officers.
TO print the tickets necessary
blanks and answer The heavy cores
pondence, and incidcntals. will absorb
this entire amount and nothing Is left
to pay the expense Of holding the
primary
The matter is very much complica
ted by the fact that over thrce-fourthq
of the counties have already hcld
their primaries. and without the coun.
ty elections the local boards have no
way to raise money for holding tho
state primary unless they depcnl
upon the loyalty of the democrats.
In fact the situation in Georgia now
resolves itself squarely into a promo,
sition of the democrats putting up tho
money to hold the primary. To ac.
cess the candidates would manfesty
be an injustice, as the burden would
fall on some men SO heavily that it
would mean bankruptcy. 1t would
mean also that none but the rich could
afford to enter contests for Offices of
the state.
Recently Glascock county held n
meeting and the democratic eXecu.
tive committee assessed the guberna.
torial candidates $3.50 each and state
house officers $3.50 and served notice
that any one who did not come across
would be left off the ticket. Chair.
man M. j. Youmans, of the state com
mittee declares that this would be
illegal, since the state committee has
adopted rules fixing the assessment on
candidates at $50, which is to include
all assessments. and that if any name
is left off the tickets all such tickets
would be thrown out by the state
committee.
But the fact that the primary viii
cost $4,000 stares every one in the
face. and somebody mas got to bea.
this expense. 1t remain then to DC
seen that the DEMOCRATS Of the state
show their LOYALTY by putting up me
money.
Chairman Youmans sent oat the
tickets about a week ago and for the
past few days he has been in Atlanta
preparing and sending ont al the nee
essary blanbs-practically the first
time all the blanks have been sent out
by the chairman of The state com
mittee.
Chairman YOumans comes squarcy
out for the early primaries He says
that he believes the people favor il,
and that the history of the past pr.
maries show that when they are held
carly that a much larger vote is
pOlled.
The chairman says that ne viii
take every precaution to see that it
is strictly a white primary, in CON
formity with the rules adopted by tho
executive committee.

Supporters Of Hoke Smith
and Col Estii| Making
a Hard Fight
SOME SCHEDULED MEETINGS
Berner Comes Friday Night, Col. Et-
till Will Speak Here on Tuesday
Reuben Arnold is Also Asked
To Come Here.

The Brunswick Estill club announ'
ces. that Col. J. H. Estill, the Savannah
candidate for governor, will be in the
city on next Tuesday and on Tuesday
night he will deliver an address to
the voters of Glynn county at the
city hall.
Col. Estill, it is understood, will
arrive in the city Tuesday morning
and will spend the entire day in the
city with his friends. In the even
ing a big rally will be held at the
city hall, and besides the candidate
himself it is understood that there will
be a number OF local speakers.
Col. Estill has a large circle Of
friends in Brunswick and Glynn coun-
ty and it is more than probable that
large crowd will be out to hear his
address.
Two Smith Meetings.
The Hoke Smith club also announ-
ces that besides the big rally to be
held Friday night, probably at the
opera house, when Hon. r. L. Berner
will be orator of the occasion, anothe;
rally will be held the latter part Of
next week and an invitation will be
extended to Hon Reuben Arnold. the
we'll known Atlanta attorney, TO deliv-
er an address on this occasion M
Arnold is now making number OF
speeches in behalf of Mr.. Smiths can
didacy and it is expected that he will
accept the invitation from the local
club.
The campaign is getting quite warm
in Brunswick now. and the indications
are that there will be many rallies
and committee meetings before the
primary on August 22 Registration
has picked up somewhat during the
past few days, which demonstrates
that the politicians are at work get
ting their friends to register before
the books finally close on Saturday.
While the supporters of Col Estill
admit that Hoke Smith is way in the
lead in Glynn county at present, they
propose to make evry possible fighc
to carry the county for their respec-
tive candidate AT The same time the
supporters of Mr.. Smith are equally
as hard at work and will not let up
until the primary is over.

THE BROwNsvILLE AFFAIR.

If President Roosevelt were a school
teacher and somebody put a bent pin
in his chair, and NOBODY knew who did
it. he would thrash all the pupils in the
school until they couldn't stand up nor

girls who were tending strictly to their
business, in order to reach the one

of Aug. Is, three companies of colOred
troops were stationed at Brownsville.

a DIvERTTNG ISSUE

A railroad organ down at Kansas
City is having hard work diverting the
attention of Kansas people from the
real issues in Kansas politics, but it is
doing its best. It is screaming itself
black in the face about the Standard
Oil company opposing the reelection
of Governor Hoch and putting up
money to defeat him. The thousands
of Republicans who scratched Gov
ernor Hoch now know who paid them
to do IT.
To be sure it was not very many
months ago that the railroad organs
were having sDasms because H H.
Tucker. of the Uncle Sam refinery pro-
ject. was supposed to be opposing the
governor. The Uncle Sam company is
the direct antithesis of the Standard.
Possibly, however. Mr.. Tucker enlisted
the assistance of John D. Rockefeller
and his aggregation in defeating the
governor
Having traced the trail of the Stand
ard into the counties where there was
opposition to Governor Hoch, this
Kansas City organ, in a double-leaded
first page, scare-head story. proposes
to have the matter investigated by the
government. This. you know. might
help to divert public attention from
the Square Deal issues some more. In
the course of a long piece about the
visit of Max West, representing the de-
partment of commerce and labor, to
Kansas to make some Investigations
concerning the way the Standard does
business, the organ says:
Mr. West wants a true story of the
Standard in the state. This includes
trade with politics to control trade
The only reason the Standard wanted
to defeat Hoch was to control the Kan
sas senator for two years for trade
reasons. There Is nothing to it but
trade. Prevent legislation that will re-
duce Standard income from the state
sales and product. The only reason
the Standard organized the law en-
forcement' campaign and paid the
squawkers to squaWk at so much per
agate line or per speech or per vote
was to make money by the process
This is the way It is conceded.
The bunch of political pirates that
got to square dealing and law en-
forcement' in particular, and double
crossing in general, operated of course
in the interest of the Standard. II
would be terrible, as expressed, if close
connection with the Standard should
be shown incidentally while collecting
data of the Standard in Kansas"
Isn't that clear? Is it not particu-
larly lucid? Do the Square Dealers
and the Flaw enforcement squawkers'
see where they are about to be
caught? The bunch of political
pirates" who square deaIed and law
enforcemented better hunt their holes

there was danger of more depreda-
