WE MUST PUT UP THE BARS.

When the newly selected democrat
ic executive committee OF Georgia
holds its first business meeting, il
should give serious consideration to
the independent movement now stalk
ing through the state and which IN
the past has been permitted to par
ticipate in the councils and the pri-
maries of the party. On Nov s, two
independent candidates will oppose
regular democratic nominees for con
Sress in Georgia-one in the Eighth
and one in the Tenth districts. Both
of these independent candidates have
been atfiliating with the democratic
party and both of them participated
in the democratic primaries in the
state on Aug %. If the party in
me state would preserve its orSani
cation and its principles it must put
up tie Lars aaalnot lndependentism,
under whatever 9uise it travels and
| il must protect the sincere voter, as
well as the sincere candidate who
! takes part in our party primaries.
There can be no question but what
/ the primary system in the Georgia
/ democracy has proven to be good
4 hing for party harmony and success,
, nut il is the duty of the new eNecu-
tive committee to take such steps as
will eliminate independentism and
make the primaries of the democrat
ic party binding to all participants.
Discussing the subject. the esteem

very conservative and sensi' lie ,odi

The announcement made by Mr.. c.

democratic nomination for congress
from the TENTH district in the recent
demo@ attic state primary, seems to

democratic party nominees will be
continued also in the congressional
election th&, occurs ON Nov. s.
