HOW TO GET KISSED

John Shelton Williams, comptroller
OF the currency, hates dull time. He
was the only person in Washington
who seemed To take pride in taking a
hot shot at the delegates TO the Amer
lean Bankers Association convention.
He waited till the day they opened
their conve alton 10 give out red hot
story. accusing "coterie of bankers
in New York of fixing interest rates
and thereby influencing the price OF
bonds and securities.
The bankers then "resolate<l'
against John and he took another shot
at them b. saying those same bank
|ers were charging 30 per cent inter-
est and had collected SI0o. GOO .oGs in
a very few months at that rate
When the eomptroller's name was
mentioned in the convention, many Of
the dignified financiers Missed. here
ard there one applauded.
One banker characterized Williams
as the most courageous comptroller
America ever had and got himself
Kissed.

army Of house hunters.

DOWN WITH THE PRIMARY.

1t is beginning to look as if the
State Democratic Executive commit
tee made mistake in calling for a
primary IN Georgia in which to ex-
press preference as to Democratic
leader for the approaching campaign.
II present developments continue,
there will not be good man stand
ing before the voters in this primary
when the ballots are cast. That is
certain to be the outcome.
McAdoo has refused to permit his
name to be used. Hoover has done
the same thing in the fact of the COM
mlttee's refusal to allow him to run.
He is doubly out in spite of the fight
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 primary
OF that kind. 1t would be far better
to let the delegates go to San Fran
cisco uninstructed than to tie up the
members of the delegation so as
not to permit them to make their own
/ choice. Talk about getting after
strange gods, how does it become
necessary for Georgians, or the voters
Of any state, as 70 that matter, to ex-
press themselves ahead of time? The
election is officially provided for that
business. Nobody need fear that the
people will not express themselves
when the election comes.
Georglans do not even now have the
slightest idea as to what leader. good.
bad or Indifferent, will be put up in
the presidential primary and that pri-
mary is less than two months off. Tn
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. 9th
ers 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 ef-
fort in it to use the state as a yard
stick for measuring exoloi.ations in
uuturning old Democratic methods of
selecting leaders. We believe it is a
fight to "pack" the delegation repre-
senting this state at San Francisco.
Heretofore we have known in fair
manner how to select leaders accord
ing to the ~ishes~ of the Democratic
party in Georgia. Why let this rri-
mary interfere with that method?-
