The Form of a Petition For Election
of Senator by the People
To Hon. ". G. Wright, Chairman State Ea
ecutiue COnana5ttee:

10 ION. ". L. W21ght, Chairman STATE ED-
ecuti0e C0nannittee:
We, the undersigned citizens, taxpayers
and qualified white voters of Georgia, re-
spectfully request you to call meeting of our
State Executive Committee, at the earliest
possible moment, for the purpose of fixing
date for a White Democratic Primary in
which the white voters of Georgia may de-
clare their preference for a successor to the
late Senator A. S. Clay, whose lamented
death left four-year term vacant.
Inasmuch as the popular election of Z. S.
Senators is one of the leading principles of
Progressive Democracy, we trust that your
Committee chosen last year by the ''Pro-
gressives," will prove true to the name.
(Let the voters sign, as promptly as pos
sible, and then mail to Chairman Wright,
Newman, Ga. The form can be copied on to
a sheet of paper, and the signatures put
underneath Or, the form can be clipped,
pasted on a sheet of paper, and the names
signed below.)
At each county meeting a committee of
representative citizens should be appointed, to
wait on the member of the State Executive
Committee Cf one resides in that county, for
the purpose of ascertaining whether he will
urge a primary election on his Committee.
If no member lives in the county, send the
committee from the mass meeting to see the
Chairman of the County Executive Commit
tee And let the report of this visiting COM
mittee be made, back to the mass meeting be-
fore it adjourns, In case the visiting COM
mittee gets no satisfaction from the official
visited, let the mass-meeting adopt and pub
lish resolutions of censure!
Local pressure, applied to these party bosses,
will cause them to reflect upon the con-
sequences to themselves, of their contempt of
the peoples wishes.

The knights of Columbus Capture
Alabama

Through the Society of Jesus, the italian
priesthood is endeavoring to secure control
Of the education of the young Through the
knights OF Columbus, the same tireEess
schemers are reaching out for political power.
In fifteen states, it is said, the birthday of \
the Genoese fraud and monster-C Columbus
has been made legal holiday. In practice,
this is nothing more than defeating one day
in each year to Catholic demonstrations.
Columbus was fraud, because on his re-
turn to Europe he vowed that he had dis
covered America. He was a fraud, because
he claimed as his own the ideas of Toscanelli,
and other geographers and navigators. He
never reached the mainland; and his voyages
were of no practical importance. They did
stimulate "discoveries," for that spirit had
already carried the vikings of the North to
Greenland, Iceland, Labrador and Vineland.
New England.) To Prince Henry Of Por-
tugal, far more than to Columbus, was due
the impetus which carried "discoyerers" to
so many distant lands beyond seas.
Why, then, was such prominence given to
Columbus? His patrons were ''thelr most
Catholic MAJ esties," the King and Queen of
Spain, who were favorites of the Popes.
When Columbus claimed to have discovered
a New World, the Pope divided it between
Spain and Portugal; and with this papal
sanction to his pretensions, Columbus was
secure. All Europe, at that time, was Cath
Ole; and the Pope was supreme. When
Christ's vice-gerent officially affirmed the
Columbus statement, no one dared murmur.
For many years, the New World was treated
as the property of Spain and Portugal
SPANS half being hers by virtue of Colum-
bus alleged discovery"
It was only when England broke away
from Popish CONTROL that English monarchs
secuted SPANS claim to America, and began
to plant colonies here.
Besides being monumental liar and fraud,
Columbus was monster, in greed and
cruelty. He was the first white man who in
PRODUCED peonage into this country; and he
was the very first of all the slave-traders
He originated the horrible practice of kid
mapping the natives and selling them into
European slavery. He was the author of the
system which swept millions of the weak,
amiable, unwarlike Indians off the face of
the earth.
Why should Alabama revere the memory
of this wicked, false-tongued man? Why
should the American people be asked to sus-
pend work and business, one day in each year,
in honor of the first American slaver-a man
whose eyes never rested on the shore-line of
this continent?
History tells us that he compelled his crew
to take an oath that they would corroborate
his statement that he had discovered the con-
tinent-each of the eighty men being threat
ened with having his tongue cut out, if he
exposed the fraud,
Does Governor O'Neal of Alabama realize
how he has been made tool of by the crafty
Italian priests?
Did the Alabama Legislature know WI 1T
1T was doing, when it was entrapped into
furtherlng the plans of Rome?

MoDEsTY OF PRlNeLE
Famous Botsnlst Carried shyness Az

The following article upon the late
Cyrus Guernsey Pringle of the Uni
versity Of Vermont, is contributed by
C. r. Orcutt TO the issue of Science
for August H.
"In 1882 had the pleasure Of accom-
panying DIR. c. c. Parry and c. G.
Pringle on a botanical expedition into
Lower California. At this time Mr.
Pringle was engaged in forming the
Jesup collection of American woods
for the American museum OF Natural
History, and this was his first trip
into Mexican territory, as it was my
first.
"The personal instruction given me
at this time, and many following IA
vors in after years. cemented our
friendship. Previous to this time Mr..
Pringle was principally known as the
originator Of the snowflake potato, and
Of new varieties Of wheat and oats
and his labors in this field have add
ed millions to the profits OF the Amer

owes the first training that he receiV-
ed in originating new varieties OF
plants. and many others could no
doubt testify to the helpfulness OF the
man ever above the petty leaousies
that beset some lives.
