In their effort to fool the people and thus prevent
the nomination of Woodrow Wilson, the Special In
terests employing of the oldest tricks known
to political craft.
They have divided the country into three parts
into each of which they have introduced local candi
dates-Clark in the west Harmon in the east and
Underwood in the south BY this Device they hope
to divert split the strength of the truly ma
tonal and truly popular leader. They know that not
any one of their special candidates could command
a following the country over. They recognize the
folly of opposing Woodrow Wilson in the national
field. And they endeavorng to catch scattered
delegations here and there trusting that thus they
may deprive him of the necessary twothirds vote in
the convention.
This scheme has been called by various names.
The Wall Street Journal delicatey describes it as
understanding" Others have referred to it, with
unconscious humor "a courteous agreement" In
quarters it is known as the presidential trust"
And again, it has been termed "the Clark-Harmon-
Underwood alliance"
Getting down to plain speech, however we
find no truername for this trick deceive the voters
of the party with empty campaigns and meaningless
candidates than to call it reesheH political game
just such takers at county fairs have played so
often to wheede money out of unsuspecting onlookers
selves may be of the design for which they be-
ing used, the fact remains that each of them is
really serving but one purpose, and that is not his
own nomination, but the defeat of Woodrow Wilson.
In Georgia, as elsewhere the Special Interests
have opened their threeshell game and are baly-
hooing for the people to bite.
vote for Mr.. Underwood, admirable man though
he is so far his own personality is concerned,
would amount simply to wild bet a matter of
pure chance
If the Democrats of this state want their votes
to count, if they want to choose candidate who
really has a chance of being nominated and of being
elected it behooves them to hold aoof from game
in which they bound to loose and which, at best
offers them merely a guess and hazard
Surely, the people of this state are not going to
bite at trick as old almost as trickery itself They
will not sacrifice their influence in the national
vention to candidate who has nothing to hope for
himself and who offers no promise of to the
electorate
Woodrow Wilson is the only real candidate in the
field. the only who presents certainty of the
nomination and of leading the party to victory
Wish we had straw hat in the ring.
The outlook is for good crop of canning factO-
ries, too
Ten to one Wilson will win. Ten to one liter
ally, too.
No need to put spring under bond She'll have
to return soon anyhow.
Give a clear Sunday, Mr. Weather Man, and
won't kick a rainy Saturday.
And Georgia is to be congratulated doing the
really progressive thing-ordering that presidential
primary.

type of intellect can continue sincerely to think that
the state committee has abolished in any wise
disturbed the county unit system. That system is
not even remotely involved in presidential primary,
where the state acts in entirety and not many
separate counties, any than many sep

as state shall be cast in the Baltimore convention
1t is primary to deal with national candidates and
national issues and one in which Georgia bears to
the country at large precisely the relation which the
individual counties bear to the state in guberna-
torial primary.
Such considerations aside, however, the all mpor-
ant fact is that the rules prescribed by the state
mittee are as fair to one candidate another and
that they give every Democratic citizen of Georgia
a full opportunity to vote directly for the candidate
of his choice. The candidate who receives the
largest number of ballots, whether he be Mr.. Under

Speaker Clark, will be declared the nominee, far
Georgia is concerned

driver exceeded this limit.
Recently the question of limiting

discussed at a meeting Of the village
council. AS a result sign boards, ten
feet in diameter, We're erected at eth
er end Of the main road which passes
through Dilworth from east to west.
TIL signs warned automobile owners
against driving faster than Is miles an

The Dilworth village marshal was
empowered to arrest violators of the
village ordinance. Recently the mar
shall resigned. being called to other
fields of endeavor by more Urgent du-
ties. There was no one to enforce the
ordinance restricting speed through
the village to Is miles an hour.
One night early this week. some de-
signing autoist, village officials do not
know who, passed through Dilworth.
He had a can of paint and a brush
with him: Apparently, he stopped at
both Of the warning sign boards.
Next morning motorists on their
way through the village, laughed. The
phrase mot more than Is miles an

Its new a Of paint made it read
