POLITICAL LIBERTY is GROWING
IN GEORGIA.

In GEORGIA.
Dear Sir: Gwinnett County in the
last election went Progressive by a
majority vote of 1872, and notWith-
standing the fact that both Smith
and Hardwick-the latter by a small
lurality-carried the county in the
primary.
The indignation Of the people was
checked from further manifestation
only by the threats and menaces of
Judge Reagan and his committee.
Otherwise these clustering, ignoble
politicians would have received
much severer rebuke than they did.
The cracking of the party lash by
Judge Reagan was a tactic SO effete
as to render him ludicrous in the eX-
IRENE. While it did not prove wholly
impotent to produce results, it did
demonstrate that bluff and buster
are rapidly becoming obsolete and
ineffective.
The Judge, with the vain glory
of a protesting himself to be
the fountain head of all law and
equity and political ights-threat-
ened to disfranchise those rebellious
festos and make their Wills subser-
Went to his. Now, though he may
deem me impertinent, | wish to ask:
Who are the rulers Of this country
Judge Reagan or the people? If the
Judge, then why should the people
vote at all? If the people, then how
ridiculous Of the Judge to assume
the role of dictator
1t is the right of every freeman
to cast the ballot that expresses his
choice; and no man has a right to
restrict him in the free exercise Of
that choice.
Now as to whether he is bound by
his participation in the primary cleo
ton will depend upon whether or
not the primary was free from fraud
and deception, and upon whether or
not the nominee has conducted him
self in a way to entitle him to fur
Their support. Certainly if a primary
has been tainted with fraud or if a
nominee has become a renegade or
an outlaw, voter could not be
bound by the choice of the primary
election. There must be some line
of demarcation then between bind
Aho lIOA1AIA1CIOu Gnu OAS IuClC ID l1OC.
AS to where that line is, is ques-
ton for each man to decide for him
self, there being no tribunal to de-
eide it for him.
When Judge Reagan bolted the
nomination of Bryan in 1895, he
took it into his own hands to say
whether that nomination was bind
ing on him. When Robert F. Mad
dox ran as an independent for mayor
Of Atlanta and defeated James G.
Woodward, the regular democratic
nominee, the Atlanta Journal, the
mouth-piece of the Smith=Hardwick
combine, decided that the primary
nomination was not binding upon
them, and so stated in the following
language: "You will be told that
you should support the opposing can

the white primary. The reply to such
statement is: The nominee has bro
