IN1s Jeffs pay that dividend I am
81 enclosing postoffice order for
$500 and request that you
send your magazine for twelve
months to John Wheeler, care r. G.
Wheeler, brownsville, Georgia, and
that you send the Weekly Jefer-
sonian for enc year to R. c. Wheeler,
Ihomasville, Georgia.
These go to an old Confederate
veteran who is my friend and your
friend and to his son, a lad Of about
fourteen years.
Let me again express the hope
tnat you will study we'll the sugges-
tion in my communication on the
county unit principle. Suppose in
the late primary you and Smith had
been candidates for the United
States Senate and you had carried
the As counties by $500 majority,
and he had carried Fulton County
by 1854 majority. Under the county
unit rule you would have gotten in
the Legislature 67 votes, and he
would have gotten votes. Under
Ike plan af his Committee wiping
out he county unit rule he would
have received none. Now, project
)
and see how he intended to put it to
his own use when it shall become
necessary fer him to stand up again
before the people.
My plan is, as all our legislation
is now enacted on the county unit
plan, the election of Senator should
lie brought about in the same way,
and that this plan should be put into
effect by writing it in the Constitu-
ton as l have suggested. Each State
has it within it's power to bring
about direct election of Senators
without any amendment to the Con-
Stitution of the United States. | be-
lieye in the direct election of Sena-
tors by the people, but I do not be-
Geye in any amendment to the Con-
stitution OF the United States proyid-
ing fer such direct election. | am
sat sized that if those who really
favor the direct election of Senators
on the plan | suggest could be given
the dynamic energy Of your support
III the Weekly Jeffcrsonian and The
Progressive Democrat the Legisla-
tue which meets next month could
he compelled to submit at the Oc-
tOhcr election, proper cOnstitu-
ticnGl amendment
/ hope yea will be elected one of
the Ga'o&otes at large for the Balti-
more Convention, but I am inclined
to believe that if ] we're in your
place ] would be willing to accept
the place of District 'delegate from
the Tenth Congressional district A
delegate at large only has one vote,
and q District delegate only has one
vote, end therefore, they are equal
III everything except the mere name
Of it. l wO0id like to see the Tenth
District propose You both as District
delegate and as delegate at large.
For you to go to Baltimore as di-
rect representative Of HardWiclz's

FIGHTS LICENSE TRANSFER.
Anti-Sa|oon League Attorney
Acts Against Riggs Build
ing Establishment.

Opposition to the transfer Of the IL
cense for the operation of the Riggs
building saloon, 18th and G streets north
west. from the name of John NJ. Biddle,
secretary of the Metropolitan Company,
Inc. to John NJ. Kirby. manager of the
establishment, was expressed before the
excise board today by A. E Shoemaker,
attorney for the Anti-Saloon League.
The claim was made by Attorney Shoe
maker that the Metropolitan Company is
a foreign corporation. having been incor-
porated in Wilmington. Del, and that the
names of the incorporatOrs are not
known. The board decided to postpone
the hearing until Saturday, on which date,
it was promised by Mr.. Biddle, the names

The Riggs building saloon case has
been before the excise board before. OPP
position on the part of the Anti-Saloon
League to the establishment of saloon
in the building led to the erection of
temporary shack on the site of the struc-
ture, where drinks were sold at the time
the building was being constructed. 1t
was contended that the transfer of the
license from Adolph Loehl. proprietor of
the old Riggs House. to the Metropolitan
Company was not legal unless the saloon
was in operation November l last, at
the beginning of the license year.
