DOWN WITH THE PRIMARY.

It is beginning to look as if the state
Democratic executive committee made
a mistake in calling for primary in
Georgia in which to express a prefer
Ience as to a Democatic leader for the
approaching campaign. If present de-
velopments continue, there will not be
a good man standing before the voters
in this primary when the ballots are
cast. That is certain to be the out
come.
McAdoo has refused to permit his
name to be used. Hoover has done
the same thing IN the fact of the com
mittee's refusal to allow him to run.
lie is doubly out in spite of the fght
| that is being made for him all over
the state Democrats are going to
ignore the primary largely if they are
| forced to take the man that some one
or two persons may finally select and
put to them. If they cannot express
their choice, why go into the primary
at all?
As for us, we don't want a primary
of that kind 1t would be far better
to let the delegates go to San Fran
cisco uninishucted than to tie up the
mot to permit them to make their own
not to permit themt make their own
Ichoice. Talk about getting after
strange gods, how does it become
necessary for Georgians or the voters
of any state, as to that matter, to ex.
press themselves ahead of time? The
election is officially provided for that
business. Nobody need fear that :he
people will not express themselves
when the election comes
Georgians do not even now have the
slightest idea as to what leader, good,
bad or Indifferent, will put up in the
Presidential primary, and that prfma-
ry is less than two months off. Un.
less the good men stand for it, how
shall we do ourselves credit in this
primary?
The people of Georgia are begin
ming to express themselves as opposed
to this primary. One county Demo
cratic executive committee has al
ready given notice that it does not in
tend to hold the primary at all
Others will follow suit as sure as the
time approaches. They do not under
stand why it is at all necessary.
We sincerely believe there is an
! effort in it to use the state as q yard
stick for measuring explorations in
upturning old Democratic methods of
selecting leaders. We believe II is a
fight to pack" the delegation repre-
senting this state at San Francisco
Heretofore we have known in a fair
manner how to select leaders accord
ing to the wishes of the Democratic
party. in Georgia Why let this pri
mary interfere with that method.

THEY MAY BE WISE.

Democrats who have faithfully and
Loyalty stuck by the President and the
administration on the peace treaty
had news today which will tend to dis
concert them and throw them out of
humor. This comes from the appar-
ent change in the action of the Sen
sa ate yesterday in adopting the Repub
lcan reservation regarding mandate
les. 1t appears on the surface that
k the Democrats have surrendered the
p" whole treaty to the Republican enc
mics
But it is not necessary to take that
view of it, or course, no one can
know at this stage what is coming

What we want to do is to accept
