ficiently, when the least relaxation
or delay would have at once ended
the war in favor of the Germans
all carried out as perhaps no other
man could have carried it out by the
management of Hoover, whom the
far-sightedness of President Wilson
called to the work.
Can Mr.. Palmer in face of that, say
that the name of this ablest0 of Will
sons lieutenant is not good enough
to 60 on the ticket? When he un-
derstands the situation in Georgia,
will. he not, in justice to his own
self-respect, refuse to enter the prt-
mary, unless those who wish to do
so be allowed to vote for Hoover?
notice a meeting in Atlanta on
Saturday Of many, many good men
and true to organize campaign FOR
Palmer. Doubtless the Shyster and
the Devil were also present as they
were of old, when the sons of God
met together. consider Mr.. Stovall,
who was made permanent chairman,
as. fine, as able, as patriotic, as e1-
cellent a man in every way as there
is in the state. Georgia is justly
proud of<him. 'tf
But appeal to him as well as the
other good men Of that committee:
Can you gracefully advocate the
nomination of Palmer with Hoover S
name unfairly Eept off the ticket?
Can you, to advance Palmer's inter-
est, take advantage of this unfair
deal? Will not this sticking in your
conscience cripple your every effort
and invite disaster?
The name Of Senator Reed, will, I
suppose, go on the ticket. He is
considered good enough Democrat:
God save the mark! and I syinpathize
heartily with the desire of the
Palmer men to defeat him.
But you will, perhaps, need the
Hoover vote to keep Reed from get
ting a majority. To say the least,
the resentment and dissatisfaction
and apathy accrued by the action Of
the subcc unite. will not help the
Palmer movement. It always pays
to be fair-though some men think
chicanery is necessary. The stars in
their courses fight against unfair
ness. ..-t
A few days ago a gang Of men. en-
tered a jewelry store on Broadway
and first barring the door with a
heavy iron rod, captured the contents
of the cases. The executive commit
tee happening to be inside, have bar
red the door to rob US OF gu. most
precious jewel-our birth-right of
freedom! Will the Palmer men con-
sent to be benedciaries OF the rob-
berry?
Men OF Georgia, we boast of our
great state, its wonderful resources
and it's natural progress, but-:what
is all this worth unless we are "a
free people! If a few temporary of
ficials can dictate our policies and
deprive US of our free suf-.ages,
what are we but political slaves?
Two hundred and thirty-two white
Democrats of Hall county, duly re-
quested the committee to PIT Hoo
ver's name on the ticket as we had a
right to do. The committee have
persistently declined us the right to
vote for him at the primary. Out of
and he was the most enthusiastic,
perhaps, who has dropped off, but
that is his privilege
Georgia said in revolutionary days,
when the soil of Massachusetts was
invaded: "The cause Of Massachu-
sets is the cause OF US ALL" So the
patriotic men in all the counties are
saying in their manhood: The denial
of the right of the people to do their
own thinking and make their own
selection, now at issue, is the cause
of us all!'' Gentlemen Of the Execu-
tive Committee! Gentlemen c. the
