Presidential EIectOr Question.

We do not believe that 1t Is right or
proper for any presidential elector on
the Republican ticket, II elected, to
vote for anyone for president but
William II. Taft A statement on his
part before hand that If elected he will
support some one else does not change
the situation.
Any man, who has been chosen a
presidential elector who is not willing
TO vote for President Taft, II elected,
II he wants to do the fair and just
thing should resign.
President Taft was chosen as the
Republican candidate for president.
1t does not matter what we may think
In regard to the methods used to So
cure that nomination, he is The nomi-
nee. Even II the majority OF the
members OF the Republican party were
opposed to Taftbeing nominated, even

even IL fraud and force we're used to
bring about his nomination, it does
not justify any Republican president
ial elector in voting against him.
One of the basic principles on which
the Progressive Republicans of the
country made their fight against
President Taft was, "Let the People
Rule" We b lieve in that principle
and think that a presidential elector
who would vote against President
Taft would be false to 1t. If the Pro-
gressives are fighting for principles
this Is certainly not the time TO be
false to them.
President Taft is the Republican
nominee. Gov. Wilson is the Demo-
cratic nominee. III the Progressives
form third party and select Col.
Roosevelt for their candidate let the
fight be made clean cut and clear be-
tween the three candidates. Let
each candidate have an equal chance
before the people.
1t is not fair that President Taft
should be placed in such position
that he can not by any possible means
regardless of the wish OF the majority
of the voters receive the entire elec.
toral vote Of state. And this will
be the situation II presidential elec
tors on the Republican ticket refuse
to support him,
For a presidential elector on th'
Republican ticket to refuse TO suppor
President Taft, II elected, can no
be justified upon any ground OF fair
ness or honesty. 1t is not "squar,
deal.p 1t is simply resorting to trick
cry and sharp practice to accomplish
an end, an illustration OF the old ma
chine, boss kind of politics.
President Taft's nomination may
have been secured through wrong
but this is also wrong and "tw
wrongs never made right.
Any presidential elector on the Re
publican ticket who will not supper
President Taft, II elected, must re

II he believes in the people ruling.

Baltimore Is Like
A Deserted Village
nv JOHN PAsCHALL.

BALTIMORE, July 3.-Baltimore
looks like a deserted village today. The
politicians have disappeared over night.
They began leaving yesterday afternoon
and have been going by the trainload
ever since.
With the exception of Randolph An
derson and Neyle Colquitt, OF Savannah,
and J. Lindsay Johnson, of Rome, all
of the Georgians have left for home.
They are coming back to enlist in the
fight for Wilson and Marshall Colonel
PendIeton, chairman of the delegation,
declared before leaving, that when he
cast Georgias twenty-eight votes to
make Wilson's nomination unanimous,
he expressed the sentiment of the del
egation. If Roosevelt dares to make a
third term third party fight in Georgia
a united Democracy will oppose him and
roll tremendous vote. for Wilson and
Marshall
The Georgians feel that they put up
a good fight for Underwood, and that
by their firm stand they proved that
they were not backing "a stalling
horse" They refused to go over to
Clark because they hoped to the last that
Underwood had chance, and if they
had made a break to the speaker 1T
would not have elected him. Had Geor-
gia broken to Clark it would have
been the signal for disintegration of the
Underwood forces, and Woodrow Wilson
would have received a majority of his
delegation in Mississippi and Alabama.

LANSING. Mich, July 4.-Anchi<

Governor Osborn, has ISSUED a state
ment expressing the belief that there
is no need Of a third party, and declar-
ing that Republican progressives can
consistently vote for Wilson.
Governor Osborne was an ardent
Roosevelt supporter during the Chica-
go fight and until Wilson was nominat-
ed. He now declares ne hopes Roose-
welt will not be a candidate.
The issue is clearly Joined for the
people" said the governor in his state
ment. 1T is Wall street VS.. Wilson.
Woodrow Wilson's character. tempera-
ment, preparation and fitness is above
the high average of American presi-
dents. He is Christian, scholar and a
fearless citizen.
Republicans can vote for Wilson
without leaving their party or boiling.
The real Republican party has no cam.
didate for president this year. There
has been no nomination. The action Of
the political free-booters at CHICAGO
is not binding upon the Republican par
ty even If for the moment they are
bearing aloft its stolen ensign"

ORGANIZE GEORGIA. FOR
WILSON, SAYS J. R. SMITH
Urges Georgia to Start Organ

Work in Doubtful Ones

From J. r. Smith, the Atlanta mer-
chant who was one Of the most indefati-
gable workers for the success Of Gov.
Woodrow Wilson in Georgia and at Bal
timore, comes this pertinent sugges-
ton:
Let all Democrats in the certain states,
says he, get together in the national
campaign organization and throw their
efforts into the states which may be
held as doubtful, and concentrate their
work along systematic lines for the COM
plete victory of Mr.. Wilson at the presi-
Dental polls in November.
Let Georgia take the lead in this
movement, urges Mr. Smith
Here is his suggestion as voiced in
his own words Thursday morning:
I'm view of the outlook for an over
wbelming Democratic victory in Novem-
Der, suggest that the Democrats in the
Democratic states perfect organizations
Immediately and tender to the national
campaign committee their services to
be used in the doubtful states in the
most beneficial way.
1T would doubtless be gratifying to
Governor Wilson and his friends through
out the country. to see the Empire State
of the South, the former home of Gov
ernor Wilson, the native home of Mrs.
Wilson and two Of their daughters, take
the initiative in this movement

The two men were surprised by Off

ANNOUNCEMENT
IS EXPECTED ON FRIDAY
Probability of His Entry Has
Injected New Life in
State Politics

Although Attorney General Thomas
S. Fielder has made no definite announce
ment as to whether he will enter the
gubernatorial race, the impression is
general that he will do So
Mr.. Fielder spent Thursday in Macon
in conference with his friends who have
appointed committees, secured pledges
of ample financial support and are de-
handing that he announce his candi-
dacy. He will return to Atlanta Fri
day morning and it is believed that
he will issue a statement of his in
tentions on Friday.
The prospect of Mr. Fielder getting
into the gubernatorial contest has al
ready injected real ginger into the
campaign. Politicians who throng the
Kimball house lobby and congregate in
groups at the state capitol are warmly
discussing the probable effects of Mr.
Felder's entry.
, 1t is generally admitted that he will
prove a most formidable opponent for
Messrs. Slaton and Hall, and the dope
sters are now figuring on the number of
counties he will carry and the vote he
will poll Men who a few days ago
were predicting a walk-over for Mr..
Slaton and those who were confident
concerning the chances of Mr.. Hall are
beginning to revise their prognostica-
tons
Friends and supporters of Messrs.
Slaton and Hall have ben urged to in
creased activity by the prospect of Mr..
Fielder becoming a candidate, and
whether he does or does not enter the
race the probability that he might do
so has certainly thrown more life into
state politics than has been manifest
since the state convention.
