Franklin X. Lanes words on this
question: The test of our democracy
is in our ability to absorb the
foreigner and incorporate him into
the body OF our life as an American.
First of all the hand of friendship,
the voice of a friend, who shall be a
guide and adviser. Our strange and
successful experiment in the art of
making new people is the result OF
contact, of living together, of work
ing together for living, each one
interpreting for himself and for his
neighbors his conception of what
kind of social being man should be,
what his sympathies, standards and
ambitions should be-
"To meet this need the school
house has been turned into a COM
munity center. Our school system is
the most serviceable instrumentality
we possess for the development of a
better America. A more thorough
education and each mans rights are
to be measured not by what he has,
but what he does with what he has.
AL must work and this duty to work
and respect for work should be the
earliest lesson learned. To be useful
lis the essence of Americanism."

The Elks have been unable to see
all of the prospects, and for that
reason the campaign was continued

A Solid Front To
The Common Enemy
Walker or Holder to Retire. Prop
osition Made by Cliff Walker.

ATLANTA-May 25,--CMfford Wal
ker, candidate for governor, is, quoted
as saying that he will leave to any
fair committee of three Georgians
the question whether he or John N.
Holder is the stronger candidate, and
will be willing to withdraw from the
race for governor if the committee
decide that he is the weaker candid
ate. F
He believes the loyal democrats Of
Georgia should be given an opportun-
ity of centering on single candid
ate to beat Thomas w. iiardwick,
whose platform was published yes
terday. He naturally believes that
he is stronger than Mr.. Holder, and
the latter probably believes that he
is stronger than Mr.. Walker.
But whether he or Mr.. Holder re-
tires for the purpose of consolidat-
ing the oppositions to Mr. Hardwick,
the opinion. is expressed by Mr.. WAL
ker that there will be a consolidation
in most of the counties over the
state on the strongest candidate.
Georgia's primary laws are so con-
structed, as the politicians are point
ing out, that a candidate does not
need majority of the votes to win
a nomipation. Neither does he need
a plurality of votes. All he needs
is plurality of votes in sufficient
number of counties to constitute a
majority of the county unit votes
in the convention.

ried out the Lords wish, was ready
to die himself. The child was stran-
