Holds Palmer to
Blame for High
Price of Sugar

WASHINGTON. April lin fix
ing 1918 cents as the maximum at
which Louisiana sugar could be sold
without prosecutions for pro1iteerin,
Attorney General Palmer caused an
elevation in the ideas of Cuban sugar
producers" George A. Zabriskie,
president of the United States Equal
tzation Board, testified before tbs
house sugar Investigating CONT
mittee. Mr.. Palmer's action, he said,
was responsible, at least in part, for
the general price increase in the
sugar market.
Mr.. ZabrisIlie said the board had
the whole Louisiana crop practically
offered us at Is cents" and he agreed
with Representative Hustled, Repub-.
lican, Massachusetts, chairman of
the committee, that the attorney gen.
eral was without legal power Ito fix
prices"
1.-The market is now in panic con-
dition," Mr.. Zabriskie said, and you
can't tell what it would do. The run
away could have been prevented, he
said, by the government continuing
the boards authority to buy the Gu
ban crop and equalize prices.
The committee decided to call the
attorney general as the next witness.

ment was accepted by the Constitu-

night the Massengale Advertising
Agency was te1ephoned that the Con-
stitution could not publish this ad-
vertisement on account of the Short

Every daily newspaper in Geor-

LETTERS SENT TO
PALMER SUPPORT
SENATOR SMITH

The following letters were given
out at Hoke Smith headquarters in
the Piedmont hotel Wednesday as
evidence of the claim that the Pal
nner campaign in Georgia has broken
down and that Democrats, whose
votes are solicited by the Palmer
campaign committee, are replying
with strong letters of Endorsement
for Senator Smith:
Carrollton, Ga, April II, 1920.
Palmer Campaign Committee.
Rooms 108-110, Kimbali House,
Atlanta, Ga.
Gentlemen:
I beg to acknowledge receipt OF
your letter OF 9Th, requesting my
support and influence in favor of the
Hon. A. Mitchell Palmer. in the
presidential primary Of the goth. and
replying thereto, I wish to say that
I have given the contents of your
letter very careful thought and con-
sideration, and have decided that /
cannot consistently give my support
to Mr.. Palmer, a Yankee, from the
rock-ribbed Republican state Of
Pennsylvania, as against a true. Geor-
gia Democrat.
And my further reasons Tor not
supporting Mr. Palmer Is because Of
the crowd that is backing him in
Georgia, for I do not believe they
are sincere. It's anybody with them
to beat Senator Smith that causes
them to line up behind Mr.. Palmer.
Did they not try to substitute Cover
nor Dorsey in place OF Palmer in
the primary in this state? Did you
some Of your same crowd make the
boast in a meeting at the Kimbali
house recently that they would sup
port Tom Watson before they would
Hoke Smith? thought it we'll to
call your attention to- these things,
and my reasons for no going with
you in the coming primary.
I yield to no man in my steadrast
allegiance to President Wilson, for
I stood behind him in the primary IN
this state in 1912, while your same
crowd was belittling, bemeaning and
naligning woodrow Wilson in that
race just like you are doing Senator
Smith in his race in this primary.
You may be able to fool some few
people, but + am very much Of the
opinion that you will fall far short
of fooling about one hundred and
fifty thousand stalwart, progressive,
red-blooded Democrats in Georgia
on the Goth of April.
You people need regular old
time revival Of Democratic religion,
and then maybe you would have
self-respect enough not to try to de-
stroy one OF your own Fellow Geoc"
gians Just because he merely differed
with President Wilson on few fun
damenta1 principles and policies, and
yet he is the same woodrow Wilson
that you fellows beneaned, malign &c
Moses, deliver us.
l am one that believes in stand
ing by the south this time, and
Georgia has the honor this time OF
furnishing one of her true and tried
Democrats in the person Of Senator
out the confines OF this union from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. and from
the Lakes to the Gulf. A distin-
guished American through. and
present to the San Francisco con.
Venticn and invite the north, the east
and the great west to join hands
with the south and then march &c
victory in November. These are nay
reasons for supporting Senator Smit-
on the Goth of April.
Yours very truly,

DEMOCRATIC LOYALTY
Presenting the Record of Party 10y
atty on the Part Of Attorney
General Palmer and SEN
ator Roke Smith.

The Palmer Campaign Com
mittee has issued a letter in
which they suggest that any
man who disagreed with the Pres
tdent on any subject is disloyal
to the party.
The suggestion is, of course,
absurd. But what is the record
of Attorney General Palmer as
to Democratic loyalty?
Judge Eugene C. Bonniwell, Of
Philadelphia, Pa, was the nomi-
nee of the Democratic Party for
Governor in 1918. It is true that
Attorney General Palmer tried
to keep him from getting the
nomination. The Democrats of
Pennsylvania nominated him in
their primary and he is certain
ly entitled to be considered as
leading democrat of that state.
In letter to our headquarters
with reference to Mr.. Palmer,
Judge Bonniwel1 says:
This man has destroyed the
Democratic Party almost beyond
recall in Pennsylvania. When he
obtained control in 1911, the
Democratic party was repre-
scented by ten democratic con-
gressmen, eighteen state "ena-
tors and seventy representatives
AS the result of his deliberate
treachery in 1918, an act de-
signed deliberately to insure the
most bitter partisan and VEN
omous critic of the Democratic
party, and of the administration,
he pulled down to defeat scores
of Democratic party officers,
with a result that only five
Democratic congressman were
elected in that contest, six state
senators and twenty-three repre-
sentatives, and this in face of
the fact that despite of all his
treachery, I received. myself,
three hundred and seven thou
SdIIu NOISS, 4OI Iy-1OuI IIlOu-
sand more than Palmer received
for United States Senator in
3 1914"
In a telegram to our Headquar-
ters, Judge Bonniwell gives the
details as to the occasions on
which Palmer has bolted the par
ty in Pennsylvania as follows:
"He is not a Democrat: he
bolted Democrat for governor in
1918. In past four years has OPP
posed and sought defeat of Con-
gresham Arthur G. Dewalt,
