ARE UNDERWOOD MEN BARRED

1t has always been the Democratic
privilege, without fear of punishment
or threat of Punishment from the par
ty. to choose freely between the can
didates for nomination in party prim-
aries and conventions. After the NOM
iinations are made Democrats have
been noted for their capacity to get to-
sether and support the nominee an
sustain their man in office when e.
ected.
Last year there was presented to the
Democrats of Georgia the free AMI
open opportunity to select between
several aspirants for the nomination
to the presidency of the United States
by the Democratic party. The race
family contention-narrOWed doWA
to Wilson and Underwood. The latte
won in Georgia by $4,000 majority,
and the former won in the Baltimore
convention. All Georgia democrats
then whirled in and gave Wilson the
largest majority ever cast for a Dem
ocratic candidate for President. The
editor Of The Telegraph, who support
ed Underwood, was asked by the Will
sen leaders to accept a position on a
committee to raise funds to finance
the campaign. He accepted, and for
warded nearly $1,000 raised by popular
subscription. This newspaper con-
tributed $110. More than two-thirds
of the fund forwarded came from I'm
derwood supporters in the primary.
That was all we'll and good, and the
same thing would be done again under
the same circumstances.
No one connected with The Tele-
graph has asked for or desired any
political office. That is the invariable
rule in this shop and would not have
been changed if Underwood had been
nominated and elected President. But
it is little disconcerting to be told
that no Underwood supporters need
apply. We do not believe that that
ultimatum is the ultimatum of the
President. His attitude towards ap-
plicants for office in other states de-
monstrates his liberal feeling. Surely
some one else is speaking for him.
Rev. L. J. Ballard of Albany, who,
as We understand it, was a supporter
of President Wilson in the primary il
this state, went to Washington recent,
ly in the interest of a personal friend
who happened to be an Underwoo1
supporter. In an interview given to {.
representative of The Telegraph, and
printed last Saturday, he said in part:
Il went to see Postmaster-Genera
Burleson to use what influence | had
for Mr. Stanley But it was of no
avail. Mr. Stanley will not be APP
pointed. Mr.. Davis will be the only
man in Georgia who was not an en-
thusiastic supporter of Woodrow Will
son who will be appointed to any
Federal office. l learned that much
while in Washington"
If Mr.. Billiards. information is cor
rect it means that most of Senator
Racons nominations will be turned
down, and that the nominations for
postmaster will be taken out of the
hands of Congressman unless they
square by the rule that Underwood
men need not apply"
So far as The Telegraph is concern
ed there is no personal equation IN
this situation, but it is an unfortunate
thing for the Democratic party in this
state.-Macon Telegraph.
