DEMOCRATS HAVE A
LIVELY MEETING
Democrats Hold Especially Warm Meet
ing at the Court House. Primary
TO Select Candidates

The Democratic Central Committee
met Tuesday afternoon subject to the
call Of the county chairman. This
meeting was called to find out the will
of the committee as to whether II de.
sired to hold county primary or the
old style county convention.
After several short speeches made to
bring more harmony into the party
ranks n motion was made and seconded
TO use the convention as the proper
method of selecting the candidates this
year as there will not be but two TO be
selected
Mr. White, one Of the wheel horses,
from the Rama district, opposed the
convention in no uncertain terms as
not the Democratic way Of choosing
its candidates. His plea was strong
and the bosses or those who WELD the
''big stick were taken through Sc
we're scoring. lie does not approve the
governors appointments IN many cases
as he says the appointments were made
to bring men into the Democrat party
and not to those who have fought long
for the cause and deserved the appoint
ments. lie says he is not going to be
candidate this year unless something
is brought to bear to cause him to
change his mind. He is tired of being
run and having the county run by n
few leaders. His district is slightly
was 80 TO |.
Judge Cutlip's argument in favor OF
the convention was good, strong, and
we think right. Only being two candi-
dates to he chosen IL stands 10 reason
that the cheapest way is the best for
all concerned. II is ne: plausible to
suppose that at the precinct meeting TO
select delegates to the county conven.
tion would he any more corrupt than
the primary election with the chance
to vote dead men and those not present
also add one or too for supposed new.
comers or for good measure. The pri.
mary is the proper way il protected by
law but Mr.. Cutlip's argument was TO
the point and his reason for taking the
stand he did only proves that the Dem.
ocrats have war horse willing 10 do
all in his power TO elect the party tick.
ct and at the same time make IL just
as cheap as possible for those who are
seeking the support of the Democrats
for the office of representative, as this
office is not so desirable from the fnan-
cial point Of view.
Judge Saxon made an excellent talk
in favor Cf the modified convention
and il IL had been chosen instead of
primary there would have been a big
saving in trouble and expense, but ii
seemed that those present did not ex.
actly grasp the full meaning of Mr..
Saxon's proposition and voted the pri.
mary instead of any kind Of conven.
tion. Where the precinct does not care
to put up the money for the primary
we suppose the candidates will have TO
"dig up"
After several other spirited talks for
and against the primary the motion
was put to see whether 1t was the will
of the majority of the committee TO
hold county convention or primary
IL was voted to hold precinct primaries
at some future time something like
month prior to the state convention.

ACCUSES NEW YORK
BANKS OF BOARDING
Attack Follows Refusal of
City Institutions to Refund
Short Term Notes of Ten

WASHINGTON, Sept. A.-Followng
UP his denunciation Of 10 Southern
banks, which he charged with boarding
and refusing to lend money only at alb
normally high rates of interest, Secre
tary of the Treasury McAd doc today
fired broadside at the New York
banks He called attention to the fact
that the New York institutions had re-
fused to refund certain short term notes
of the State of Tennessee.
Mr.. McAdoo in his statement asserted
that If further attempts to refund the
Tennessee notes failed. he personally
would find banks in other parts of the
country which will undertake the re-
funding. He sad:
Senator Lea, of Tennessee, informs
me that the State of Tennessee has ST.
100000 of short term notes maturing Oc-
tober l. that the State desires to renew
or extend s1,4OO,o0o of these notes; that
a commission representing the State has
been in New York for some time trying
to effect this loan, but without success.
ut is preposterous that one of the
impossible to procure from the banks
such comparatively small amount of
money.
Senator Lea informed me that he was
going to New York last night for the
purpose of Joining the commission in its
efforts to secure the needed loan If
Senator Lea and his associates are un-
able to procure from banks in the city
of New York, or elsewhere today, and
upon reasonable terms, the desired loan,

found to take up this loan for the State
