'ALL GEORGIA IN
GREAT CANT A|GN
FOOD CONSERVATION WEEK WILL
BE EXPLOITED IN EVERY COM
MUNTTY-ENTIRE STATE Is OR.
CANNED.


ATLANTA, Ga, Oct 3O.-Every
thing is cooked and primed for the
great food conservation drive in pro-
gress this week throughout the state
Of Georgia and throughout all the
state ;.Dd territories of the Union.
The Kaiser can take no comfort
from the manner in which American
peoplt have rallied to the second
Liberty Loan, and now it is up to the
men md women and childrel of the
free country to show the "impudent
despot" that he cannot lay his plans
on the expectation of food famine
among the European allies cause
| by Americas extravaganza and re-
fusal to conserve.
America has plenty of food for her
civil population and her armies, enough
to supply the deficiency facing the al
lies, but she hasn't enough unless she
conserves. That is the situation In
a nutshell, and the object of the food
conservation campaign Is to secure the
signatures of American housewives on
the food pledge card which is a prom
Use to use practical means at their
disposal to aid in conserving the ma
tons food supply.
To get these signtures, volunteer
workers have been organized in every
state and county and city and town
throughout the country, and bright
and early this morning the workers
launched a whirlwind canvass of
their respective communities, calling
on the housewives at their homes and
inviting them to help win the war by
giving their government their promise
to do this simple and easy thing which
the overwhelming majority are doing
already because of the high cost Of
food.
From every county in the state come
reports to Georgia campaign head
quarters in Atlanta that workers are
constantly increasing in numbers. that
enthusiasm is growing every day, that
everywhere the people understand
what the government asks of them
and are ready to do it. especially this
being true of Georgia housewives, to
WHOM the appeal is directed first of
all because they handle the food sup
plies of the state.
Congressional district chairmen re-
port their districts in fine shape.
County chairmen are calling for more
buttons for workers, and already the
supply of button is exhausted. Mem
bership cards, or window cards, as
| they are also called, have given out
| and more are coming from Washing
ton OF pledge cards, however there
| is an abundance, every county chair
man having one for each housewife in
the count.
Ministers of Atlanta and other cities
and tcwn preached en- food copserva-
ton yesterday and read to their con-
gregations the proclamation of Gov
ernor Dorsey appealing to the people
to support the food conservation cam
paign, to sign the food pledge card.
to aid in every possible and feasible
way in conserving the nations food.
| State headquarters in Atlanta will
receive reports from all county chair
men as the pledge card canvass pro-
crosses, and every county will strive
to secure the highest percentage of
pledge signers, in proportion to its
population, of any in the state.

Only legislative. county and muni-
cipal officers would be nominated at
direct primaries. IL a bill which soon
will be introduced by Senator l.. l..
Evans should become q law. Unit
ed States senators, congressman and
state officers would be nominated by
convention as under the old conven-
tion system but the method Of select
ing delegates would be radically diff
ferent.
The bill provides that on the last
Tuesday in June there shall be held
n primary election for candidates to
both houses of the Legislature and all
county offices, together with dele
gates to a county convention, whose
duty 1t viii be to elect delegates to
the state convention.
County committees and state com
mittees would be organized much as
at present and safe guards would be
represented in the county convention
and every county would have It's Just
proportion OF delegates In the state
convention. The county convention
would be permitted. in addition to
nominating state delegates and per-
fecting it's county organization. to
adopt a platform OF principles.
The state convention of each polit-
teal party would be held at some
place selected by the state committee
OF the party, on the fourth Tuesday
OF July. following the primary cleo
tion. As soon an organized. the con
vention would nominate candidates
for congress and for such state Of
fices as were to be filled at the next
general election and, when such Of.
fices we're to be filled. for presiden-
tial electors and United States sen.
ators.
Those who are promoting the pas
sage Of the bill claim for II that II
retains all that is best IN both the old
convention system and the direct pri
mary plan.
