reaffirm the Endorsement of President
Mckinley contained in the platform Of

We invite the intelligent judgment,

The country has prospered and been

the years in which he had the coon.

legislation was framed and passed -

We appeal to the American electo.

Alaska.
We favor liberal policy toward
Alaska to promote the development of
the great resources of that district
with such safeguards as will prevent
waste and monopoly.
We favor the opening of the coal

will invite development and provide

We favor the speedy enactment OF

Republican Accomplishment.
The approaching completion of the
Panama canal, the establishment Of
bureau of mines. the institution of
postal savings banks, the increased
provision made in 1912 for the aged
and infirm soldiers and sailors of the
republic and for their widows, and
the vigorous administration OF the
law relating to pure food and drugs,
all mark the successful progress of
Republican administration and are
additional evidences of it's effective
ness.
Economy And Efficiency.
We commend the earnest efforts OF
the Republican administration to Sc
cure greater economy and increased
efficiency in the conduct of the gov
eminent business. Extravagant appro.
priations and the creation of unnec-
essary offices are an injustice to the
taxpayers and a bad example to the
citizens.
Civic Duty.
We call upon the people to quicken
their interest in public affairs TO con-
denim and punish lynchings and other
forms of lawlessness, and the strength
ening in all possible ways respect
for law and the observance of it. In.
different citizenship is an evil from
which the law affords no adequate pro-
lection and for which legislation can
provide no remedy.

mission of those states thus merging

form the last remaining portion OF our
continental territory.

We reaffirm our belief in protec-

to the country, developing our resourc.

tecting our workmen against competi'

establishing for our wage earners the
American standard OF living. The
protective tariff Is 80 woven into the

try tributary to Streeter is that of
gentle rolling prairie, and with a soil
texture of alluvial loan sub-laid with
clay and free from sand. gravel and
alkali. This forms a perfect seed bed
for all cereals capable of cultivation
in a northern latitude and has proven
exceptionally fertile and lasting.
The principal grain products of the
territory are wheat, oats, barley, rye
and flax. But right from the start
the settlers realized the value Of di-
versified farming and especially dairy
ing, also the cultivation of corn and
all vegetables for which the soil and
climate r especially adapted. Fruit
trees of the smaller varieties also
thrive here and yield abundantly.
Wild lands are selling in the vicini-
ty of Streeter for $40 per acre while
improved farms range from $40 to $40
per acre.

sidering the fertility Of the soil and
the excellent climatic conditions offer
advantages and possibilities that can

THE FATE OLA GREAT PRINCIPLE

OF all the irones that marked the state convention
which met last week in Atlanta was more amaz-
ing or, to the neutral onlooker more amusing than
the heartless indifference of the Underwood brethren
to their erstwhile love- the county unit" system
They had walled throughout the campaign that
the rights of the people were in the dust and the
liberties of the whole commonwealth imperiled be-
cause forsooh the county unit system had not been
applied to a presidential primary. To their manner
of thinking, or rather their manner of talking this
system was not merely practical device to be used
when occasion required but a fundamental principle
sacred at all times and in all circumstances.
Yet, when they came to their own convention to
carry out their purpose they ignored and indeed
repulsed the county unit PLAN as though it were
thing either foolish accursed. Their consort from
McDue and insisted that the vote for delegates
at large be taken by counties each county to cast its
allotted number of votes Whereupon the convention
repudated this proposal loudly its lungs would
permit and proceeded elect the delegates by accla-
nation, -rI 4
This is the first time such a thing ever done
in state convention in Georgia. Il has been an in
variable precedent that in naming delegates from
the state at large each county shall cast its indi
vidual vote There is nothing involate in this rule
so far as we see. but isn't it remarkable that
convention composed exclusively of those who had
proclaimed the county unit system to be sacred
thing should be the first to break it?
Such is the fate of a great principle Such is the
deal accorded the county unit Plan in the very tenn
pie of it's worshipers
