ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 9.-Correspond-
ence between Rufe Hutchens and
Chairman j. J. Flynt, of the state
democratic executive committee has
given to the press, is clearly designed
to have a material effect upon the
pending selection of federal Judge in
Georgia.
MIR. Hutchens pointedly criticises the
two "Would-be political cars" in
Washington, whom he says have tried
to cruelty every man in Georgia who
would not humble to them and charg-
es that political dictatorship has
swerved democracy in this state from
the Jeffersonian type.
Chairman Flynt agrees with him on
the wrongs of the time and that CO.
operation is needed now to re-unite the
party and put an end to the use of the
federal patronage for personal gain.
In his letter, Hutchens says: What
ever trouble has come upon us or will
come upon us is bound to be due to a
departure from this doctrine" refer
ring to 'Jeffersonian democracy.
"WOuld- Be Political Cars"
Referring to political conditions Of
the past several years, he says: 1.-THE
protest on the part of those who did
not agree with the expedients on the
part of some of the leaders of the
Democratic party, met with the severe
rebuke, and it seems determined eff
fort was in progress to ostracize from
party affiliations all those who dared
protest. These would-be political czars
have tried to annihiliate every man
who did not humble himself and wor-
ship at their shrine. The federal adj
ministration is someway, SO far as
Georgia is concerned, permitted this
autocratic control"
Declaring this is no democracy "but
is a proposition of its principles"
Hutchens asks: How long will the
democrats in this part of the state
submit to this domination of the party
By one or two men who, for their own
selfish interests, create offices to be
filled by federal appointments in sat
isfaction of political friendship" He
strikes out stingingly at the bill to
create, as he says, "a second federal
judgeship in the northern district of
Georgia which is not needed"
Flynts Letter.
Answering the letter from the gen.
tleman of Tallapoosa, Chairman ]. J.
Flynt writes in full, as follows:
Dear Mr.. Hutchens; am in receipt
of your favor of the Goth ult.. to which
earlier reply has been prevented by my
absence from the city.
in my opinion, the criticism con-
tanned in your letter are well founded,
so far as they relate to past conditions

We do not have this port hlockad- ed only because the British fleet keeps the enemy at home.

 If we go to war, Tor heavens sake let us make it a real war We are bound when we fight to strike hard and effectively. We want to prepare at once a great army; l should hope for a couple of million men so that if the war lasts for a year, we will be able to be the decisive and controlling element in it.
 But do not wait for the great army. We can send an eXpeditionary force abroad now to fight in the trenches or fight in the Balkan peninsula, where ever il is desired We can get that ex- peditionary force. if we choose to, within four or five months into the trenches

 PRESIDENT WILSON
SENATOR STONE ON THE OTHER HAND IS HELD UP AS 4 HIGH
 MINDED MAN.

Berlin. March 20, via London Commenting on delayed wireless dis patch sent by the Wolff bureaus cor respondent from New York, which said President Wilson was trying to maintain peace, the Cologne Gaozette says
 The people must not forget that this is the personal opinion of the correspondent. But the facts paint a different picture of President Will sons policy. What was President Wilson's abrupt break in relations with Germany but 6 challenge to Ger many? And is not the arming ot American merchant ships, which even
 includes ships carrying ammunition and unconditional cOntraband, even a stronger challenge to Germany?
 The cores pondent also overlooked the recent exciting congress debate, otherwise he could not send the un- contradcted claim that the American government will do nothing to arouse the feelings of America against Ger many. What was the betrayal of our proposal of an alliance with Mexico but a means to arouse sentiment hos tile to Germany, Why did Senator Stone, who uprightly seeks peace, throw himself with all his influence against the most recent act of Presi- dent Wilson, unless because, in his conviction and that of almost the en- tire congress, 1t meant war?
 And does the writer think that peace is promoted by the utterance of President, Wilson awarding Alsace- Lorraine to France?
 Certainly President Wilson does not want war if he can secure our de feat without it. But he win do all to secure this defeat ana if it is impos- sible otherwise, he will not hesitate to make war"

Leagle Club, headed by Robert Bacon, l former ambassador to France, and in cludine manN men oi prominence presented at 0 special meeting tonight a report calling upon the country to get ready for action. Charles E. Hughes presided.
 "il' we go to war with Germany" said the report, "our only real pro tection will be the ships Of the French and British nayies and our own navy, which is undermanned.
 We have no coast defenses which would prevent the complete and i'm mediate capture of our coast cities and ammunition factories in the coast states Of New Jersey and Connecti. cut, as well as everyone of our navy yards. The facility with which d hostile power could land troops on our shores has been repeatedly and au thoritatively stated.
 ~Our regular organizations lack many things which are vitally essen tlal in modern war. We lack machine guns of all types We lack grenades and bombs We are without trench mortars Of the type in use in Europe We are short of modern field wire less. We are without any of the mod ern types of heavy mobile artillery such as in general use in Europe. I've are short Of reserve rifles and oil field artillery.

 Technically there may not be war" h. said, because it may be that it takes two to produce that, but Germany is making war upon us and We are all waiting to see whether we are to take it lying down It is either war or it is submission to op- pression
 My diagnosis of the situation is that the president wants 10 hear from the people. He has said so many times. He wants to hear whether the people of the United States want him to go on and act.
