WASHINGTON CLUB HAS
125 WILSON MEMBERS
Two-ThirdS of Delegation for
Wilson and Not for
Champ Clark

statement that has the NlgoT OK
enthusiasm in IT. comes from Wood
row wilson's Georgia headquarters "A
Atlanta Tuesday, statement telling
OF encouraging news from every part
Of Georgia regarding Mr.. Wilson's
growing and irresistible strength
among the people.
The statement salts the hides Of
those who make the charge that Wood
row Wilson is not a Democrat. IL
flaws them with the finesse Of a past
master at surgery, and leaves them
stripped Of their pretense as Dema-
Gratis or as anything but men striving
solely for their own selfish ends al
ways.
The exuItance of a certain victory
for Mr.. Wilson rings throughout the
statement. There is in 1t the inspira-
ton Of a hearty response that is ar
irving at headquarters in every mail
and on every train from all parts OF
the state. Georgia has awakened 10
the responsibility Of her first presi-
Dental primary; and waking, she Is
rallying around woodrow Wilson. the
one national candidate of Democracy,
the one man with whom Democracy
can hope to win.
Here is the message from headquar-
tiers:
The news from every part of Geor-
gia is highly encouraging to the sup
porters of woodrow Wilson. On broad
and national lines ii is admitted every
where that Governor Wilson is far
and away. head and shoulders taller
than any other Democratic candidate
for president.
1--WE are informed by Col. George NJ
DuBose that they began getting up
Wilson club in Washington, Ga, last
Saturday afternoon. and on Monday
they had 125 members.
"All over Georgia the sentiment is
/ crystallyzing the same way around
Governor Wilson as the strongest. the
ablest, the most available and the most
unconquerable Democrat
The Republicans are scared Of him.
Col. Cecil Lyon, Republican committee
man from Texas. is quoted as saying:
/ II Mr. Roosevelt is not nominated
that is, If Mr.. Taft is nominated, we
might as well begin address Woodrow
I Wilson as Mr.. President" Repub-
lican leaders are freely quoted as de-
E claring that the only way to stop
woodrow Wilson is to nominate Theo-
dore Roosevelt
TWO PARTY OUTLAWS.
The underground politicians are IN
a panic. They don't know what to 40
+ or where to turn to check the onward
march of Woodrow Wilson to victory
But the funniest thing that they have
! done was 10 claim that Woodrow VIII
Z son ought not to be nominated because
j he is not a Democrat
"Of the few men who make this alb
surb claim. two are notorious outlaws
fran the Democratic party. One of
them has given the greater part of his
life TO desperate assaults upon the
Democratic party, both from without
and within its lines. The other can
hardly be said to have even masquer-
AIDED as a Democrat. He, too, has been
F in and out Of the camp while he sought
4 TO assassinate the party for his own
I selfish ends. Among all men, these two
are least qualified to say who is and
i who is not a Democrat, for neither owes
any fealty TO the party and neither has
, ever hesitated TO betray it.
ION the other hand, Senator Hoke
/ Smith, Senator John Sharp williams Of
Mississippi. Senator Ed Smith Of South
Carolina, Senator Gardner of Maine.
Senator Gore OF Oklahoma, Senator
/ O'Gorman of New York. Senator Cham
/ beriain OF Oregon, and hundreds of
other such good men. express them
selves in the highest terms of conf
dence and praise Of woodrow Wilson as
the country's foremost Democrat.
2 From Huntsville, Ala, we have re-
-GlNeQ lnE huuNSNAlAe LANueSs WHICH
& shows us very concisely what the real
situation is in Alabama: so determined
are the desperate would-be political
bosses in Alabama TO turn this state to
Harmon or some other candidate out OF
\ line with the people. they have attempt
ed every conceivable method of trickery,
high-handed tsealage and all else, then
with a climax come along with the
block system to appoint delegates
Alabama is going TO cast its favorite-
son vote for Oscar Underwood for pres
ident. but when he is out of the run
ming, the state delegation to the Balti-
more convention on June rs will cast its
ballot for the nomination of Woodrow
Wilson. the peerless leader of national
Democracy. the only living man who
an beat any candidate that the Repub-
leans or any other party may nomi-

Woodrow Wilson looms greater and
more potent than ever before. Ninety
Der cent of the Democratic newspapers

Every wise and well-informed Re-
: publican leader prays that the voice OF
he people may be stified and that
Ehe scheming may prevail in
