In shifting for position in Georgia
political circles nowadays, the which
many ambitious ones are doing, Mt
tie account has been taken thus far
of the probable doings OF the state
Executive Committee TO meet soon.
And vet a very great deal depends
upon the sort of primary that com
mittee, in its wisdom, elects to call.
Suppose, for instance, the commit
tee should call a sort Of free for-all
primary that, is a primary In which
every fellow necessarily was for him
self the devil being more than well
come TO the hindmost?
Suppose that instead of ordering sep
arate primaries-that Is. separate
races-for the long and short term
Senatorships, the committee should
say: Here are two Scholarships,
Georgians-one for six years and one
for four and one-half years. Mix 1t
up just so far as you like, then when
the show down comes, the man who
gets the most votes gets the long
term nomination, and the man who
gets the next highest number of
votes gets the short term nominal
tion?"
Now. the committee COULD say
that, If 1t wished-and really!
Well, ii certainly would break into
fractional lines somewhat, and it GER
tainly would break into sectional
lines, too!
Those who liked Senator Smith
best would vote for Senator Smith,
and those who liked Governor Sla-
ton best would vote for Governor Sla-
ton, and so on down through Hard =
wick, Fielder ct al
Moreover, South GeoFgians could cut
such capers as they saw 1T. and
North Georgians could do the same
thing, and
1t wouldn't be the worst scheme in
the world, now would 1t?
OF course, there may be divers and
sundry objections to this plan. and
TINS writer merely outlines it because
well, because 1t is fashionable to
suggest peace plans in Georgia now
adays Of quality likely to bring on
fighti
Anyway, this is to be year of po-
litlcal activity with all sorts of side
shows going on, and the plan outlined
here would at least shut off a LOT of
partisan gable and sectional non
sense that hasn't any too much sin
cerity behind 1t, in large spots, any
howl
1t has been suggested that Muir
phey Gambler, chairman of the Rail-
road Commission, may be a candidate
for Governor.

What Has Gone Before.

When Stephen Lantier, his
friend, Maheu, and the other coal
miners Of Voreux go to the mine
offices to draw their for;nightly
wages they are astounded to find
notice posted announcing a re-
duction IN their scale of pay.
This is a crushing blow to the
miners, for by toiling long hours,
and taking their wives and chill
dron into the mines TO work with
them. they are able under the
present scale 10 earn barely
enough to keep body and sold to-
gether Before they have de-
cided what action to take, a
serious accident occurs In the
mine. Little Johnny Maheu Is in
jured so badly that he will be a
cripple for life.

ers' grievances to Hennibeau, di-
