ENGLISH PARTY MANAGERS.


Bosses run the political parties in

much more striking than those of re-

The Albany Herald declares that 1t
has certainly been demonstrated In
Southwest Georgia this year that the
man who makes from eight hundred
to one thousand bushels Of corn can
make 1t on ten acres of land. Such

valuable object lesson to Georgia

reason that IL some have done this

NO LOVE FEAST.


Indiana Republican Leaders Fear Conse-
quences.
Indianapolis Special.
The mooted question of he Republican love
feast. which has preceded campaigns for a
number of years. is still in allegiance but
there is a strong sentiment in favor OF
doing away with II this year because OF the
fear that the speeches might show great
difference OF views among the Republicans
and thus turn the love feast into fractional
gathering.
One proposition is to the effect that Re-
publicans be adviade to make love feast
meeting at each Of the thirteen district
meetings at which new central committee
men will be elected next month. and thus do
away with the State gathering, usually held
in this city. The Republican leaders have
lezxned that former Governor Hanly is de-
termined to inject the subject OF Statewide
prohibition into the campaign. and they fear
he and those who agree with him would
come to the love feast and make trouble
by advancing their views.
The Republicans want to keep the liquor
question out OF the campaign If possible but
Hanly and the Anti-saloon League members
seem to be determined to force 1t upon the
party For this reason many Of the leaders
oppose the love feast.
