Democratic candidates for president.
The war is over, the censorship is re-
moved, and the freest and fullest ex-
preston of all the people is most de-
sirable.
SIN view of the fact that President
Wilson has not yet announced wheth-
er he will be candidate for a thir
term, there is hesitancy on the parsN
of candidates and their friends to
formally announce themselves. There
are but two announced candidates at
the present writing. These are james
W. Girard, former Ambassador to
Germany, and Governor Edwards OF
New Jersey. There are numbers whe
think that if the Presidents health In
restored he will be a candidate. and
if his name is presented by the re-
quisite number of voters it must be
voted upon. Others mentioned in
connection with the Democratic nom
lnation are William Jennings Bryan,
Attorney General Palmer. who has a
large backing among federal office
holders; ex-Secretary William G. Nc
Adoo, who is believed to have the
backing to a very large extent of the
railroad and labor organizations:
Governor Cox, of Ohio, who has twas
carried Republican state, and Her
bert Hoover, who has been brought
forward by the New York World and
other newspapers, and whose name
will go on the ballot in the Democrat
ic primaries in New Hampshire and
Massachusetts.
In many respects the coming pres
idential election will be the most i'm
portant in the history of the United
States. Issues and problems of ire
mendous magnitude will confront our
President in the next four years.
The choice of candidate to carry
the standard of the Democratic party
is too important to be decided by n
caucus. The Democrats of Georgia
are entirely capable of making their
own choice among the candidates for
the nomination, and they have not
authorized anybody else to make it
for them. Georgia's delegates ought
to go to San Francisco with definita
instructions from the Democrats OF
Georgia concerning their candidate
for the Democratic nomination and
concerning their spokesman on the
Democratic National Committee
Georgia's representative on the Ma
tlonal Committee speaks for tina
Democrats of his state on issues of
national Importance, and his COM
mission ought to come direct froa
those he represents.

lEIGHT years ago the Democratic
- National Committee, responding
to public sentiment throughout the
country, passed formal resolutions
making it illegal and improper TO
Isend delegates to Democratic Natlon-
al Conventions, or to choose national
committeeman without preferential
/ primaries throughout the several
states. At that time there were ac-
tive candidates for the Democratic
nomination in the persons OF WOOD
row Wilson, Oscar Underwood
Champ Clark and others.
Four years later the National
Committee, in view of the fact that
| President Wilson was seeking re-
nomination without opposition, per
mitted its own rule to lapse without
formal action, and preferential pri-
maries were not held.
Nevertheless, it is the established
rule of the Democratic party, and
the correct rule, that National Com
mitteemen, who voice the sentiment
of their respective states for four
years, should be selected by popular
vote of their constituents, and that
the expression of the party choice
for presidential nomination should be
obtained through preferential prl-
maries. The rule in most Democrat
tic states is about as follows: Men
Iseeking the position of National Com
mitteeman announce themselves, or
their friends announce them, as can
didates. Their names are placed
upon the ballot, the voter indicates
his preference by striking out those
for whom he does not wish to vote.
Democratic delegates to the Nation
al Convention are selected about as
follows: Wherever from one to five
hundred registered voters present the
name of a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination, and pay the en-
trance fee required by the State Elk
! ecutive Committee, the name thus
presented is placed on the ballot.
Early primaries are being held in
1 New Hampshire and Michigan. In
4 those states the method of choosing
i the delegates is this. In each city
county or unit in which the state may
4 divide delegates are selected from
Hamong the friends of the candidate
acarrying the nolitical division or unit
| these in turn go to the state conven
ltion and vote for delegates favorine
the candidate who carried their re
dspective units.
/ 1t is undeniably the right of every
Democratic voter in Georgia to par
lticipate in the selection of the mex

many newspapers, lauded her for

who were somewhat moro sober

and no opportunity was given for
much consideration. The remarks
should consequently be considered
as a spontaneous expression Of the
immediate attitude Of the students,
This is further proved by the fact
that only about one-third of the
students deemed it necessary OF
wise to make any personal state
ments.
There were about 181 men and
Is women who answered the ques-
tions in such a way that they were
taken into consideration.
Wealth was chosen by IL women
and 26 men; beauty by Is women
and 76 men; health by 48 women
and 79 men. This means that more
than one-half of the women recog-
nized the Importance Of health,

parents objected because "you see,
no parts his hair so nicely. in the

In all Of these cases and similar
ones there was plainly no choice
exercised by the young women. They
were rather under the domination
OF an impulse which controlled them.
because in all probability they lacked
a sufflciency Of mentality for SELF
control. It certainly was not love,
because an infatuation and an aban-
donment Of ones self should not be
designated by the term love. It
is this typo Of woman which sooner
or later wakes from her dream and
seeks redress in divorce.
Loves Higher Motive

some motive Of a higher nature
than choice. No rational human
being can for a moment contemplate

Not only is this true, however. but

It seems that the main stress was
laid on health. The writer may
perhaps be to some extent respon-
sible for this, because he has for
years been emphasizing tho impor-
tance Of this factor, not only in in
dividual development but for all So
ciety. And it is true that health
must eventually be looked upon as

partner. This may be true, but
tho writer Is inclined to think that
American youth actually cares less
for wealth than for other qualitieA
The means for making a fair living
and the transitions from poverty to
wealth are quite frequent in our
country. Thus, the American girl
and boy ara likely to be moro in-
duenced by other motives Of choice.
It is, Of course, characteristic
that beauty should be chosen by 76
men as compared to Is women. The
male has been for ages cultivating
certain qualities in the female;
namely, those Of attractiveness and
charm based on good looks. Beauty
has had very large survival value
In sexual selection, and it Is conse-
quently not at all surprising that
such a large number Of the men
chose beauty.
Manly Men Wanted
On the other hand, a number Of
tho remarks made by tho girls who
chose beauty show that it is not 50
much good looks as manliness and
virility which they had in mind when
they made their choice.
Finally, health was chosen by Q
proportionately smaller number Of
men than girls, but still by the
largest number Of men. AS one boy
remarked:
"1f q woman Is not strong she
can neither be good looking, COM
panionable nor hsve q good dispo-
sition, and she certainly cannot
work; so what use is she?"
Girls Appreciate Eugenics
A few Of the students remarks
may be appropriate here. The first
two show that tho modern woman
has a realization Of the danger of
social diseases and likewise of the
importance Of eugenicA
"Clean life," and perfect health
in the man, personally, and in his
family in order to produce healthy
offspring" one girl wrote.
A married man asked whether he
should give his present or his pro
choice. l answered,
"Give us the benefit Of your ex-
perience."
Here 1t is:
"Got money; married for looks;
wish it had been for health"
"Beauty and wealth are relative,
