G. Wright, of Coweta county, address,
ed the convention, expressing appre-
citation for the honor conferred upon
him. He declared it the duty of ev-
cry loyal citizen to lay aside past
differences and unite for the upbuild-
ing of the state. Georgia, he said,
had prospered under Democratic rule
and progressive Democracy" is but
modern name for the pure Jeffer.
sonian type.
Early in the convention Congress-
man Tom Hardwick took a seat on
the stage and Immediately a tremend-
Gus yell Of "Hardwick! Hardwick!"
went up from the crowd. The con-
gresham was dragged from his seat
by a friend or two, who didn't appear
to be straining their muscles, and
came to the front of the stage for a
speech.
Gentlemen of Georgia. he began,

"Boomi" came an explosion from
behind, where some misguided pno-
tographer had set off fiashlight.
The diminutive congressman ducked
mo man can stand shot from be-
hind-but he soon resumed his adj
dress. Some one yelled "Watson!"
from the crowd, and Hardwick
smiled. He had a smile coming.
Thomas S. Fielder nominee for at.
torney general, was given tremend-
Gus burst Of applause when he took
a seat on the platform, and as soon
as Congressman Hardwick concluded
his brief address the yells for Fielder
forced him to sten out and make a
few remarks. Mr.. Fielder took, up
the fight on the convict lease system,
declaring that not one of "the reac-
tionaries" had lifted a hand to aid in
the adjustment of the system. He
paid an eloquent tribute Co the past
administration of Governor Smith
and promised Georgia an equally
good administration to come.
When the name Of Joseph A. Nor
ris was presented as a member Of
the platform committee for the Elev-
enth district. Robert Dickerson, OF
Dickerson, Of Clinch county, made a
strenuous effort to enter protest
and to place a Brown man in nominal
ton. The effort was without avail,
however, as the crowd would not let
him say word.
The Barlow county delegation of.
fered a resolution of regret at the
illness Of Senator A. S. Clay, which
was opened by rising vote.
