TRYING TO STEM THE CURRENT

Realizing that the current Of
Underwood sentiment in this state
is sweeping all before it the man
ayers of Governor Wilson'S cam
paign are restoring to all sorts of
means to check it, They have
arranged to bring Governor Wilson
into the state about the middle of
this month to make speeches in at
least three cities, and they are
appealing to the women to use their
influence to make Mrs. Wilson, who
is a native of Georgia, the first lady
Of the land.
These and all other efforts, how
ever, will be Of no avail. It is evil
dent from reports that are coming
from practically every county THAT
: the people favor Mr.. Underwood,
who is not only a Southerner, but
also made good as the leader of the
party in the national Congress. and
who is the chief exponent Of the
issue on which the presidential cam
paign will be conducted.
No doubt many Georgians would
like to see Georgia woman the
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-04-18

first lady of the land, but there is
grave doubt that her husband is the
most available candidate the Demo-
cratic parry could nominate. Besides.
there is a feeling abroad, a tremend-
ously strong feeling throughout the
South, that it is full time that the
South was recognized in the selec-
ton Of presidential candidate, par
ticularly as it is more than a half
century since she has received such
recognition.
Georgians will listen with pleas
ure to Governor Wilson when he
comes, and they have a high appre-
citation of the Georgia-born lady who
has been such powerful aid to
him in winning a high place in the
North where he makes his home, but
that doesn't mean that they are
going to overlook the claims Of the
South, SO long compelled to take a
back seat in the nations affairs, or
to turn down the superb Southern
leader who is in such close sympa-
thy with them for one who has as
yet never been tried in national
affairs and who is crying aloud doc
trines that have never appeared in
national Democratic platform and
which are advocated by Colonel
Roosevelt and Senator La Toilette,
big chiefs Of the Republican party

reaching mature manhood, on mat
tiers of public policy of the deepest
Importance, he is liable to change
again. Politics is practical game
We do not engage in it just to crafty
a momentary impulse Or to punish
somebody we do not like or to please
somebody we do like. The object is
to achieve results, to promote GER
tain principles and policies by the
election of the nominees of certain
parties. Before we put horse on
the track to represent our stables or
to make money for us, we examine
him very carefully We look out
especially for possible defects. We
do not pick out the first thing that
happens to attract our eye or catch
our fancy. Men who have money or
reputation or interest at stake do not
select horse, as the ladies do on
the grand stand, because he has a
pretty name or looks we'll in the track
parade. They look into his pedigree
and his record and at his conforma-
ton and judge as best they can. his
qualities of wind and limb and heart
and way of handling himself. That
is what we want to see done in select
ing nominee for the Democratic
party for the presidency. We do not
want to, put the party's bet and hope
on something that may develop fatal
defects at the half mile. Then we
want to know whether the proposed
candidate is willing and able to stand
on such platform as the assembled
4O%s = Z.
party may frame. That is why the
presidential preference primary
seems to us nonsensical. 1t means
one of two things. Either the man
selected by the majority of the vot-
ers of his party would have the MAX
ing of the platform, in which case
there would be no use for anyqcon
ventiOn, or the convention may make
platform which will fit the opin-
ions and declarations OF the chosen
candidate no better than the clothes
uated Fairbanks.
Our wise plan here in Virginia.
whatever anybody else may do. is to
select the most loyal and the wisest
Democrats we have: and send them
to Baltimore, practically uninstructed
to listen to all the argument for and
against each candidate suggested, to
confer with the practical men from
all the other States and sections and
then to decide on choice. All this
direct voting business means that the
people cannot trust anybody, and the
recall means that they cannot even
trust themselves and want a chance
for a second or third try at every
thing they do. All the people cannot

go to Baltimore and learn the insides
of things and get confidential reports
from the other States of the Union.
We never take a man until we have
heard not only what is to be said for
him, but what is to be said against
him. We had best select good dele
gates and trust to them to investigate
and think and act for us.-The Roa-
noke (Va.) Evening News.

them work and vote for him-who knows that
he is not violating the law in this respect?
The list of Taft delegates from the South
looks very much as though the Roosevelt
charges, that the President was using intimi-
dation, were true.
A week or SO ago when Governor Woodrow
Wilson returned to Trenton, New Jersey,
there were one hundred and twenty odd
measures passed by the New Jersey legisla-
ture, awaiting his signature or vetoe; results
of days of work done by the Legislature were
patiently awaiting the Governors return
from a speaking trip.
While the Legislature of State is in ses-.
sion the Governor of that State is supposed to
be at his post of duty-he is needed there
every day just as much as the legislature is
needed-in fact the legislature cannot know
what it is doing, with the Governor hum
dreds of miles away-in fact the people are
paying the Governor to be at the capitol and
work eoith the legislature
The Governor is part of the law making
machinery of State, and when the legisla-
I've machinery is in action it is the duty of
the executive machinery to be in action doing
its part of the work.
But not so with Governor Wilson.
Almost the entire time the New Jersey legis-

Watson ON Wilson

@OM WATSON, in his newspa-
per. The Jeffersonian, makes
very bitter attack on Cover
nor Woodrow Wilson. Wat
son is the old Populist leader and for
him and his work we have very little
use. Yet what he says is useful
warning to Democrats regarding the
style of attack likely to be made on
Governor Wilson if he should be
nominated for president. 1t is
charged by Mr.. Watson that Mr.. Will
son in his book shows himself to be
a Hamiltonian Federalist rather than
a Democrat. It is further alleged
that in the same book he expresses
bitter contempt for the farming
classes and the labor unions of the
country. Another accusation, of
which we had not before heard, is
that he employs Jesuit as his pri-
vate secretary. In our view this is
nothing against him. Many Jesuits
are very able, wise and patriotic
men. We must, however, recognize
facts. There does exist in the coun-
try, among certain elements of peo-
pie, a very strong political prejudice
against Catholics and fear of Catholic
influence. Just as DR.. Burchard in
his speech to Mr.. Blaine made ref
erence to Rum, Romanism, and
Rebellion" which within two days
turned thousands Of Catholic votes
against him, SO this circumstance,
trivial to most of us, of Mr.. Wilson
having Catholic private secretary
if it be true-may turn from him
thousands of extreme Pretestants;
and in practical politics there is no
sense in going out Of our way to seek
trouble Or to ALLEVIATE votes, each one
of which will count in the boxes. His
action in applying for pension
from the Carnegie Foundation also is
brought up along with his Jeline let
ter attacking Mr.. Bryan.
All these things give us reason to
pause before rushing headlong to Mr..
Wilson'S support. We want to NOM
mate a man who can win. We do
not want to see the Democrats nomi-
nate for president man whose rec
of weakness. 1t is said in Mr.. Will
sons defense that he has changed his
mind and opinion regarding many
things which he has written and said
which may be Objectionable to vot-
ers Of the present time. All of ug
change our mind about men and
things as we grow older and see
more. 1t could be argued easily,
against Governor Wilson, that if he
has changed his mind once after

lie has been out working for Wilson dele
gates, but that is just what he is drawing
pay not to do-he is drawing pay to per-
form the duties of Governor
Another thing, there is law in New Jer-
sey that provides that when the Governor of
the State is out of the State he shall not draw
his salary as Governor.
Has Woodrow Wilson refused to take his
salary all the time. he has been away from
New Jersey campaigning, or has he been
violating the New Jersey law?
If he had refused the Governors salary,
as the law provides he shall do, when out of
the State is out of the State he shall not draw
followers shouting it from the housetops long
