SPLIT IN GEORGIA
INDEPENDENCE PARTY

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. IA serious split
developed in the Independence party OF
Georgia today when Chairman Sutler Of
the state executive committee am
nounced that no electoral ticket would
be put in the field. At the same time
National Committeeman Clapp of the
party filed with the secretary of state
"a list of electors from every congress
sional district in Georgia, and two from
the state at large
Following a meeting of the state ex-
ecutire committee, an official statement
was given out by Chairman Sutler de-
Eclaring that 1t was more important to
wage a state campaign for governor
than to put an electoral ticket in the
field
Yancey Carter, who was nominated
on the independence ticket for gov
ernor. declined to comment on today's
action. Chairman Sutler had this to
say:
"rha action of our executive commit.
tee means that our candidate. Mr. Car
ter. Will support Bryan and Kern in the
national election. 1t means further.
that Mr. Carter is an independent DEM
ocratic candidate for governor"
Resolutions adopted by the executive
committee asserted that the committee
had evidence that there was an under
standing whereby the supporters or
Mr.. Brown. Democratic candidate for
governor, were to deliver the states
electoral vote to Thomas E. watson,
and the committee declared 1t was un-
willing to be made even indirectly to
assist in this deal. and therefore OPP
posed the placing OF an electoral ticket
in the field The committee declared its

IT,. FL .... ~ Hl q . 4
Your letter of Sept. 10 received. Of
course the Des Moines plan is new
form of government to our city, and as
vet it has not been given a thorough
trial. At the end of the year we will
know more as to its workings than at
present, but 1t has certainly worked
h to advantage in a good many cases.
It cuts out all politics in our city
government: as in most governments
where wards control the aldermen are
always endeavoring to get some good
feature for their district. One good
feature, intmy opinion, is the abolishing
of slot machines This was done some
time ago, and it is working satisfac-
torily.
All houses of questionable character
have been closed, and 1T has a8tendency
to clean up the city to 4 great extent
OF course the plan should be run on the
same plan as any business. You must
have good men at its head OF course
the police department could not be run
as business, but the other lines
streets. alleys. etc.--can be run similar
TO a business.
If YOU have a man In Office whom
YOU do not believe is doing his duty.
you can issue a recall and have him
nut out Of office This is another good
feature. The two reforms which have
been taken up have been handled by
different commissioners, and under the
plan they have had no trouble, while
If particular set of men had tried
either of these reforms he would have
met With failure. as he would have had
only his certain clique behind him,
while in the plan the majority stands
behind all good movements.
Some time ago our commissioner who
has charge Of the streets. alleys. etc,
decided to try and put up cheaper
