ALL STAND TOGETHER

The Democratic state executive
committee in Macon Wednesday did
not see fit to place any restrictions
around the participants in the state
primary other than those which have
heretofore been utilized, which are vir-
tually nothing. The democratic prim
airy is statewide election as far as
its accomplishments are concerned. 1t
is an election held under the name of a
primary by and for the Democratic
party with the privilege extended to
every white voter to participate if he
so desires.
Several reasons have been interpos-
ed as to why the executive committee
refused to tamper with the qualifica-
tions of the voters in this primary. 1t
is a personal political question as to
the preference of the average Georgia
voter.
A recent state election clearly de-
monstrated that a number of Georgians
refused to abide by the decision of the
primary in boiling its nominees and
supporting outlaws" at the polls on
the regular election day.
1t can be argued that any voter who
will bolt the primary would take part
in this proceeding and then violate an
oath when he voted in the general ell
ection. He is a bad citizen who will
enter a primary and not support the
nominee. He is a citizen in whom no
trust or confidence can be placed. He
is to the primary and its participants
What Benedict Arnold was to the
american forces in the Revolutionary
war. He is a bad character and his
place is not here.
1t may or may not have been wise
for the executive committee to have
passed this question up in the manner
which they did.
But one thing is certain. The good
citizens Of Georgia who are content
With the Democratic party must ex-
ercise more than ordinary precaution
IL the protection Of their rights and
their choices.
If the primary is to be free-for-all
with white skin the only qualification.
then let those good and substantial
Democrats who have their state and
i.s welfare at heart, protect theb-
selves and their party by their decis-
i've maiorities.

JUST A QUESTION.

On the eve of the announcement OF
Hugh NJ. Dorsey for governor which
was confidently expected when this
was written We wish to make few
Hugh Dorsey, that solicitor-general
with a dead mans blood as platform,
boiled over and charged Governor
slaton with being member of the
firm which defended Frank. Grant
that this was the truth.
Now Hugh Dorsey wants to be gov
ernor of Georgia and he is a member
of the main legal firm which repre-
sents the L. & y. Railroad in Georgia
Certainly, the L. & n. is an enemy Of
the state and no one doubts it.
Still Hugh Dorsey, the paid repre-,
sentative of that railroad company
wants to sit in the governors chail
and handle the affairs of the state a:
the agent of the people.
Scat, It's rotten.

IT'S ALL ONE WAY.

1t was an inspiring and pleasant
scene to witness the hearty approval
which was given the address of Col.
Joseph E. Pottle as temporary chair
man of the Macon convention Wednes-
day. Without mincing words and in
.lain, but eloquent speech, Col. Pottle
paid tribute to the wonderful and ex-
traordinary president, Woodrow Will
son, who sits in the White House as
the pilot OF this nation and the leader
of the Democratic party.
Every .alcontent was denounced
ia the words of Col. Pottle and his ex-
pressions were endorsed by frequent
applause.
Georgia will send ffty-six delegates
t. the st. Louis convention instructed
to vote for Woodrow Wilson, first,
last and all the time. This delegation
is honored by having the privilege of
ehorsidng a president who is consid-
cred the greatest since George Wash
ington.
Georgia is for Wilson despite and
notwithstanding every murmuring or
il timation of dissatisfaction. The
representatives of Georgia in congress
can take the action of the state con-
yention in Macon as expressing the
will of all Georgia in matters affecting
the administration. Georgia citizens
are not willing to have senator's and
congressman place themselves above
the president in their opinions of wis
dem, learning and government.

their just dues.
1t was murder to kill the passengers
on the Lusitania, and so it has been
rom that day through almost every day
that the submarine under the Kaiser's
Instructions has worked it's woe of
destruction.
But today-after a year has passed,
the situation stands the same as it did
then. We were mad and Mortified. We
possess less of both qualities now, and
the Germans have heaped incident af-
ter incident to add to the insult. The
American people have the word of
President Wilson as he spoke in his
last appearance before congress. One
year is too long to bubble and CAB
ger something which is being repeated
each day.
1t was Joseph E. Pottle, of Milledge-
vile, who at the Macon convention, ut
tered those striking words: He who
cries for war, except as last resort,
is traitor and alb raggart, and he who
demands peace at any price is traitor
and a coward"
The patience of the American people
has been outdone, that is, the patience
Of majority of the good American
people who would fight for their coun-
try for the sake of their own honor
and rights of humanity.
Good people have been heard to say
that the United States had no case
against Germany, because the Kaiser
vas backed into a corner and had to
resort to any means. The folly of the
assertion is evident Disrespect for
law in Georgia has brought us to an
ppalling situation. And the disrespect
OF Germany today for international law
has brought US to the breaking point,
which we hope will be fastened.
One year is too long for discussion.
Mob rule has been provoked by delay. |
We are either right or we are wrong.
We are either courageous or towards. |
i e are either money-mad or honorable.
We are either a race of strong people
CT weaklings. The Kaiser is an out
law among all people and all govern
nents. Villa would salute him as his
peer. And these are the mongrels
With which the United States would
carry on heightened discussion and
debate questions of international law.
Are we to dip our flag to Germany
Ill submission to their will, their
wishes, their desires?
On this, the anniversary of the
sinking Of the Lusitania, are we to ad-
NIT our cowardice?
Is President Wilson and the Ameri-
can congress to bargain away the Dec
Iaration of Independence and the
Constitution of the United States as a
pile of junk?
Is our flag proudly and honorably
waving or is it disgraced?

On This Anniversary Will We
Dip Our Flag To Germany?
By CRANSTON WILLIAMS

Today, May It'll, is the first anniyer-
sary of the sinking of the queen of the
seas, the Lusitania, off the coast of
ireland by German submarine, with
a loss of approximately $50 men,
women and children, among whom
there were about 113 Americans.
Singularly, today is potent because
it is expected that President Wilson
will announce his intentions in re-
gard to the latest German note. The
great president appeared before con-
.gress several days ago, which occasion
peculiarly happened to be the ami
versary of the Battle of Lexington. To-
day, the anniversary of the sinking of
the Lusitania, President Wilson will
make another decision.
1t remains to be seen whether the
last note from the Germans qualities,
that is, comes within the restrictions
as laid down in the last German note
Personally, we do not see how it does.
If there is the least intimation of indie
cision then our unalterable course is
tc sever relations with the Kaiser and
those of his kith and kin of the same
stripe. At the same time We would
sever relations with those thousands
and thousands of hyphens within our
borders, and the stiffening hand of
more dreaded law would coil about
them.
But one year ago this afternoon the
writer was so fortunate as to stand
before the bulletin board of the New
York Tribune on Park Row in New
York City when the first news was
flashed upon that announcer that the
Lusitania had been sunk. THE Lucy

which met the friend and acquaint-
ance.
Only six days before the Lusitania
Lad proudly made her way to sea car
rying large passenger list numbering
several notable of the country. On the
7 city Saturday morning, May list, 1915,
the writer had seen the Lusitania lying
al her pier in Hoboken, n. J. He had
seen the hundreds of passengers make
their way on the palatial boat after
their baggage had been carefully
searched, for it was on this morning
when the New York papers carried an
advertisement warning the passengers
against sailing. Alfred Gwynne Van
dcrbilt and Ebert Hubbard received
anonymous kilograms of warning.
But delayed only two hours she

A LAW FOR ALL.
Scat! It's rotten.

1t might be we'll to remind the people
of Americas, Sumter county and the
entire state for that matter, that the
new prohibition law which became eff
fective May 1st is for all people, white
ard black, rich and poor-all alike.
The poorest day laborer is no more
guilty of violating the law if he has
more than the lawful amount of liquor
on hand than the rich fnancier or sue
cessful politician who lives in his
mansion of luxury.
We have every confidence that the
law will be enforced, but it will be
veil for every official and citizen to
bear in mind that the law is for all, ana
not classes.
There is little enough respect for
state laws anyway, and if it is lessened
il the slightest degree a free reign OF
anarchy will lsurely give way to what
