Press is not vainly imagining unto
itself that it's word will have weight
with those ''city politicians who are
hogging the credit Of the Underwood
victory" We are but bystander at
this chicken fight and our opinion
will not be of weight with either
side.
But, nevertheless, just among our
selves let us say that Tom is bound
to win if there is any truth in the
old adage that he is twice armed
whose cause is just.
Tom Watson deserves the greatest
part Of the credit for switching Geor-
gia on the Underwood siding, and
the thought Of these "city politi-
cians' trying to crowd him out of it
hits us on our funny bone. Why,
Tom Watson was the head and front
OF the Underwood boom before there
was any Underwood boom. He all
but invented Underwood in Georgia.
We are even inclined to think that
he discovered Underwood before
Underwood discovered himself.
Those city politicians"\ who
couldn't do thing for their candi-
date in their own counties show
some" nerve when they let Tom
crack his jokes about not going to
the convention without doubling
themselves over at the droll idea and
bursting into peals of merry laugh
ter
Tom is not often SO delicate and
subtle in his irony as to be mystify-
ing, but this time he seems to have
been hugely successful in getting
people to take him seriously.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-05-23
WATSON WOULD HEAD DELEGA-
TION.

We must confess that when we
came to the conclusion that Tom
Watson was prepared to obscure
himself and waive aside the honor of
going to Baltimore, we were con-
scious Of q vague alarm.
We did not know what to fear,
but we have the normal mans hor-
ror of the unnatural When things
come out wrong side OutWards and
upside down it worries us. We
don't like to see nature defied and
contradicted; it always looks like q
sign to us and we begin to prepare
for almost anything.
But now Thomas is himself again
and it seems he was only joking-or
thought he was joking-when he
took on the ways Of the modest vio-
let. Perhaps he found his allies in
the Underwood fight were somewhat
lacking in a sense of the ridiculous,
somewhat tardy in recognizing a
good joke when they saw it. At any
rate he has taken back his joke and
come out in his artIess little Watso-
nese way to mention that his fixed
intention is to head the delegation

OF course this Underwood victory
IN Georgia is essentially a victory of
the country over the cities. The city
politicians had their fingers in thes
pie, but they took precious care that
their fingers showed no symptoms of
the manicure or other citifed signs,
and without Tom Watson they could
have done little or nothing.
The Savannah Press has under
stood from the first-and we think
every one else in Georgia who fol-
lowed the game understood the same
thing-that Tom Watson would rep
resent Georgia at Baltimore in the
event that Underwood would win in
the Georgia primaries. 1t is too late
now, when the cities went for VIII
son and the country went for Under
wood, to attempt to change all this.
TO the victor belongs the-spoiling.

The condition of T. II. Farnum of
the north side, who is suffering with
some sort of skin disease, remains
about as hopeless as 1t was when re-
ference was made to the case in
these columns last week. The fact
that the family is in Strengthened
circumstances was also referred to
in this paper and we learn that aside
from the neighbors in town who
have rendered aid to the needy ones
some OF the good people In the coun-
try have been helping them. Mrs.

sire to contribute for this purpose.

A Dozen New Members Taken Into
the Order-Affair is Big
Success.

About a dozen new members were
initiated into the Elks' order last
evening at their club rooms amid a
scene of much festivity. The affair
is reported as being one Of the most
enjoyable successes the Webster City
"Bills" have ever INDUCED in.
The initiatory exercises occupied
the early evening and this was fol-
lowed by the big feast and toast
program. The feature at the ban
quet was elk meat and everything in
the side dishes was delicious. When
the feast had ended the toast pro-
gram was opened with E.. P. Prince
as master of ceremonies in the alb
sence of B. F. Keltz, who had been
scheduled to act as toastmaster but
could not reach the city in time for
the big doings. Mr.. Prince proved a
number one substitute, however,
and with the assistance of several
old members of the order and two
of the new ones who responded to
toasts, succeeded in making this part
of the entertainment notable sue
cess. r.
A fine musical program of several
vocal and instrumental numbers
closed the evenings festivities.

NO OCCASION FOR
UNDUE EXCITEMENT
Hamilton County's Loss in Republic
can Conventions More Imagin-
airy Than Real

Some of the republican politicians
Of the county are unduly excited ov-
err the representation the county
will have in state and district con-
ventions two years hence, avering
that the small vote for Taft will ma
terially reduce the influence of the
county. This fear is only ina gin
airy. True, Hamilton county will
lose heavily, but SO will every other
county in the state, Four years ago
Taft received 275,00O votes in Iowa.
This year he received about two
fifths of that number, hence the rep
resentation of Hamilton county will
be approximately as strong as it ev-
er was, as there will not be more
than half as many delegates in flu
ture state and district conventions
as in the past, unless the basis OF
representation Is changed, in which
event Hamilton county will not suf-
fer. If this county has five or six
delegates in a state convention COM
posed Of 500 members it has the
same influence it would have if en-
titled to ten or twelve. delegates in
a state convention having 1000
members. Besides, it should not be
forgotten that Hamilton county will
be "some pumpkins" in progressive
state and district conventions, ow-
ing to the phenomenal vote accorded
