DALTON, Ga, March 13.-Hoovel
sentiment is stronger here than in
the neighboring city of Gainesville
and in that city it seemed to The
Journal correspondent that the
| Hoover sentiment was almost unant-
nous.
Finding Hoover supporters in Dial
ton is as easy as finding home rule
advocates in Ireland, and their rea-
sons for supporting him as the Dem
ocratic nominee are similar to the
reasons stated by other Democrats
| all over Georgia, from the noun
tains to the sea.
1t VIC be difficult to find any
thing else but Hoover men in this
city If the action of the subcoAn-
mittee shutting Hoover out of the
| primary could be submitted to a Dali
ton referendum it would be over,
| whelmingly repudiated.
r. S. Shope, editor Of the NORTH
! Georgia Citizen, one of the strongest
| Democratic newspapers in Georgia
| and a whole-hearted supporter OF
| President Wilson, made the state
| ment to The Journal correspondent
| that there is no enthusiasm here fol-
| Palmer, and that the Dalton Demo
| Gratis are a mind to write the name
| of Hoover on their ballots in the
| presidential primary and insist or
| having them counted.
Doesn't Like the Umpire
T. S. Pruden, a prominent 1nsur'
| ance man, was one of a number OF
! citizens who stated his views with
hncitafinn He said.
81 don't believe in letting one lit,
| tie committee run the politics Of
| the state. They remind me of ar
| umpire who orders a ball player of
| the field because he doesn't like the
| player. But some time that sort OF
| umpire comes in very unpleasant
! contact with a shower of pop bottles
| and that is what L would like to see
1 happen to our esteemed subcom
mittee."

and one of the most popular men III
Dalton: Herbert Hoover is neither
! a Democrat nor a Republican, SO far
as party labels go. He is an Ameri-
can, first, last and all the time. He
thinks great deal more of the
7 country than of either or both Of the
political parties. That is the KIND
of man we need in public office AND
especially in the office of president
Said S. A. Hall, member of the
Smith-Hall Grocery company, large
wholesale firm:
Tired of Politics
"T am sick and tired of partisan
politics. The treaty of peace has been
held up a year by partisan politics
The senate wrangles and argues over
fine distinctions of language while
Europe is in chaos, foreign exchange
rates are shot to pieces, and Ameri-
cas- export trade is stopped in many
lines. We have government that
cannot function because of partisan
politics. My opinion is that the coun-
try is tired Of politics and poll
ticians, and that is the reason for
the growing Hoover sentiment every
where"
Said J. J. Copeland, cashier of the
Bank of Dalton: "My choice for the
presidential nomination of the Dem
ocratic party is Herbert Hoover.
feel as capable of making a choice in
the primary as Chairman Flynt or any
other member of the subcommittee.
Hoover, in my opinion, is a far bet
ter Democrat than some of the poll
ticians who are fighting him in this
and other states"
Said Dennis Barrett, prominent
cotton merchant and formerly a
member Of the Georgia house of rep
resentatives from Whitfield county:
