Fulton County Progressives Thurs
cay began preparations for submit
ting to the voters at the coming cleo
ton full State ticket following a
meeting of the Fulton County organ
izatior at the Kimball House at
which plans were made for the State
convention in May.
President Wilson and his Mexican
policy were severely criticised by
Bernard Suttler, who said that status
of the nation depends upon the dispo-
Sition of the troubles.
What this country needs is about
80 days of Teddy Roosevelt. He
would soon settle this difficulty" said
Mr.. Suttler. ia;1%s
Third Party Needed.
There is need of a third party in
the South more than in any other
section of the country, although the
whole United States Is now in crying
need of a change in the political con-
ditions. Many evils in the South are
traceable to the fact that there is
practically only one political party
here. The whole nation has suffered
also from this respect. The break in
the ranks of the Republicans has
created a turmoil everywhere.
president Wilson has failed in his
foreign policy. His do nothing at
titude is responsible for the upheaval
in the entire country. The present
administration does not know which
way to turn, and consequently Is ly-
ing low waiting for the matter TO
adjust itself. Meanwhile the whole
nation suffers"
Other speakers declared themselves
as opposed to the Wilson administra-
ton because of the Mexican policy.

The resolution was adopted il
three parts, as follows:
That it is incompatible with
the principles and purposes Of
this church for it's. members to be
identified with organizations
which derive revenue for their
maintenance from the sale of al
coholic beverages.
That, recognizing the place and
value of social and commercial
clubs in the life of the city. this
church urges upon those of Its
members who are connected with
such clubs the duty and opportu-
nifty of using their influence to-
ward eliminating from the same
any unlawful features that may
obtain.
That in event of the failure Of
such efforts TO bring about these
needed reforms in the club life of
the city, the members of this
church should promptly sever all
connections with such clubs.

by DR.. C. w. Daniel, pastor of the
church, who asserted that not only
church members IN Atlanta, but also
the churches out of town and their
members, We're handicapped in their
fight on the liquor traffic by the toll
erance by the Atlanta churches OF, the
locker clubs.
"Of. the 81 clubs in Atlanta" said
DIR. Daniel, twenty could not exist
without tne revenues derived from the
sale of alcoholic beverages The very
prominence of the connection of our
members with any such organization
lends influence to the violation of law.
1t is utterly incompatible for a church
member to be associated with an un-
lawful organization.
Two Society Clubs Named.
This resolution simply advises our
church members who are also mem
beers of locker clubs to assist in re
storing tho law. If the Capita! City
Club and the Piedmont Driving Club
and all the other clubs complied with
the law, there would be no liquor sold
by them.

the burden of the responsibility from

church and places it on the shoulders
of the members as individuals"

start. this matter raised resentment

There is something back Of this
resolution which the people advocat-
ing it do not understand. None of
its supporters are members Of locker
clubs. 1t is a grave mistake for the
church to try to dictate the private
life of it's members, r for one part
of its membership to undertake to di-
rect the consciences of the other part.
