A Confession By Lincoln Steffens.

In the June American Magazine Lin coin Steffens publishes An Apology | for Graft" It is an explanation of tempta tions that confront politicians, business men, and others who give and take bribes It is wonderful in it's toleration and it's breadth of sym pathy.
 At the beginning of the article MT. Steffens makes a remarkable confess sion. Coming as 1t does, from the man who has done more than any other to expose graft. it is a signifi- cant statement. MT. Steffens says:
 sympathy and understanding are the need of the hour. We Americans have been out on man-hunt. Some of us are still at it. We are crying to have somebody put in jail; to make some individual suffer; and we may, mob-like, catch some victim some day and we may wreal< upon him our hate. I hate this hate and this hunt. I have bayed my bay in it, and I am sick ct it. I am convinced that if l should follow far enough the human trail was on, I should catch myself. For I have gone far enough already to see where l am to blame; how l have done or neglected to do things which have contributed to the guilt of the most intelligent rascal in the United States. And, if I have not done wrongs as great as his wish never again to forget that I have lacked his ability and his tempation. Happening into q cleaner business, the only temptations I have fallen before are those of my business. But the whole hunt, the hate and the spirit of vengeance upon men wh neither of the law or of the mob, $ wrong. It is things not ,men, that hurt us: it is bad conditions, not ill., will that make men do wrong; as the victims of the law can see in San Fran cisco. and seeing it. they put the truth into their prayers for pity and pardon for themselves. Why not for others ?''

CONVENTION WILL
 SOON ASSEMBLE Georgia Will Soon Ratify Nom- nations of State Officials DELEGATES WILL EAT CROW Many Who Supported Smith In Pri- mares Must lndorse Brown-DeIe-

 To Denver Convention.
DELEGATES WILL EAT CROW

Atlanta, Ga, June 3.-(Specia1 1.-The political eyes of all Georgia are now upon the personnel of the state convention which will meet at the Grand opera house, in this city on June 23, for the pur- pose of nominating Little Joe" Brown for Governor of Georgia and nominating the various other nominees, who were successfully named at the primary on June f.
 By the laws of the state democratic executive committee, this is to be a 'one- man-convention'' and contrary to expect ations this man is to be Little Joe'' Brown and hence the surmises in regard ito the convention pass beyond the shadow of possibilities and become facts when once the Brown advisors are approached.
 It has been generally conceded that Hon. Hewlett A. Hall of Coweta county is to be permanent chairman of the convention and it follows he will be chairman of the state democratic executive committee for the ensuing two years.
 The Brown delegates" are being named from among the supporters of the state policies of the successful candidate for governor" in every county in the state and these names are being sent in to the Joe Brown headquarters as fast as they are named, and in turn are being given out for publication

Georgia turned the tide.

Georgia turned the tlde.
 There has been no question as to MT. Howell succeeding himself and the press comment as to others being offered the place has produced a broad smile at the Brown headquarters.
 With Editor c. R. Pendleton of the Macon Telegraph, as chairman of the platform committee of Georgia, strong state document is expected to be the state programme for the next two years.

Big Delegation.

So far the Fulton county delegation, headed by Campaign Manager J. R. Smith is the largest yet named, being 54, in all.
 It is coming very hard with those coun- ties which the governor carried to have men come to the state convention advo- eating policies to which they are op- posed as expressed in their votes, but it is the rule made by their ''committee' and they are taking it with as good grace as possible.
 With a unanimous convention of Brown delegates" as the committee ex- pected it to be of Smith delegates the platform will be adopted in short order and the delegates to the national conven- tion selected without contest.
 Work on the party platform" for the coming convention has already set in and it will be ready to be offered as soon as the convention is organized.
 It is generally conceded one of the first blanks to be put in will be that of re- organizing the railroad commission of Georgia, a plank which MT. Brown has advocated all along.

Clark Howell Safe.

This is one of the fortunes of the Brown-Smith campaign. It had been gen. erally understood for years that when MT. Smith was nominated again, James R. Gray, editor of the Atlanta Journal. would be given the position of national committeeman from Georgia"
 This would have made MT. Smith s triumph complete, but the voters of

County Unit Plan.


 Probably the next plan will be in re- gard to a return to the county unit plan of nominating a governor and doing away with the popular majority plan The returns indicate that Mir Brown would have been nominated, with a great majority, had either plan been in prac- tice.
 His declaration in favor of giving to the country counties the rights and priv. leges previously enjoyed by them will insure this plank and it is safe to predict it will be adopted with a whoop.
 The convention will declare itself on all pertinent questions of the campaign and with a new general assembly it is safe to assert these new policies, backed up by strong messages from Governor Brown will insure their adoption in quick succession.
 Now that the Big Four from the state hasa been decided upon, Hon. Albert H. Cox of Fulton, the only candidate who ran before the people, Hon. Thomas W. Loy1ess, editor of the Augusta Chronicle from that section of the state, Hon. Peter w. Medrim of Savannah representative from Eastern Georgia and former presi- dent of the Senate w. s. West from South Georgia, the attention in regard to the Georgia delegation turns to the g to be elected, two from each con- gressional district in the state. The dele gate to be selected from Atlanta will be A. M. Robinson, Jr., the other to be se- lected from among the other counties composing this district.

Bryan or Johnson.

Whether the delegation will be "n- structed'' or 'uninstructed" is as yet mooted question. Two years ago the convention declared in favor of M- Bryan's candidacy for the presidency Times and sentiment have changed sin 70 then and the delegation may go as an unnstructed body to take advantage of any occasion which may arise whether it be for Bryan Johnson, Gray or other possibilities. There is growing senti- ment in Georgia for Governor John John son of Minnesota, but the fact MT. Bryan already has a majority of the instructed delegates for him, enough to be nom- mated. it is doubtful if the Georgia dele gation will try any new tactics Colonel Cox will doubtless be the Georgia rep resenta.ive on the national platform com mittee. It will be his endeavor to produce. if possible, a conservative platform which may get the support of New York state, which is absolutely essential to the sue cess of the democratic candidate. This promises to be the best place on the com mittee and Colonel Coxs experience in na- ticnal conventions makes him fit man for the place. It Is beyond any question that Hon. Clark Howell who has served so faithfully national committeeman from Georgia. will be reelected without oppocitiop
