Declares Georgia's Political
Banditti Were Ready to
Throw Palmer Overheard
and Substitute Dorsey

Editor The Journal: The Atlanta
Constitution this morning printed q
part OF IN interview which I gave
i'll Washington on the 9Th of Febru-
ary touching the candidacy of Mr..
Palmer for president. With their
customary spirit of deception. they
did not print the whole interview.
Had they done so, it would have APP
reared. from the. interview itself that
/ spoke therein of the possibility or
supporting someone else when the
campaign developed. At that time it
was not known no Why wla 36e the nend idsqe
would be. Certainly did not then
dream that he would entrust his po-
litical fortunes to the banditti who
are now using his name. not because
they really favor him; but solely 70
enable them to control the delegates
to the San Francisco convention. in
order, to trade them, as they would
do if they could succeed, with as
much eagerness as a gypsy would
trade a sWinnied mule, and who
would betray Palmer as quickly as
president.
After that interview was printed
and on the 9th of February [ called
on Mr.. Palmer personally, i'll com,
pany with Mr.. John Barnett. national
Committeeman from Colorado. [ dis
cussed with him frankly the politi-
cal situa ton in Georgia, and when

managed in Georgia by these men
they would inevitably bring about
his undoing.

south, who furnish the votes for the
Democratic party, ought to furnish

That was my position in 1912. and
that is my position today. w hen

there was no course open to me but
to support him, and nothing In. my

fact. as indicating my prediction

they saw a chance to effectuate their
own purposes by so doing.
OF course, Mr.. Palmer does not
understand it, and the people out
side Of Georgia do not understand
it, but the people in Georgia under
who are pretending to support Mr..
Palmer would betray anybody on the
face of the earth for their own
political advantage. When Mr..
Palmer made his alliance with that
crowd my self-respect would not per-
nit me to become an ally of any
such treacherous self-seekers, even
If my devotion to my own state and
my own south did not compel me
to insist upon a southern man. Mr..
Palmer was fully aware of this sit

after that interview was published.

he would know that these, men who
are the dynamic force behind him are
the identical same men who in 1912

Woodrow Wilson to such an extent
as made the decent people who were
then opposed to Wilson'S nomination
ashamed of the assertions with
whom they were necessarily thrown.

against being entrapped by this
crowd that is headed by Clark
Howell. [ regret very much that it
was necessary for him to come to
Georgia in order to discover the
truth about his associate and [
am very sorry that since he got here
he has suffered from such terrible
attacks of nausea, which, though
seemingly physical, we all know is
really a moral and intellectual revolt
of his whole being against the asso-

.MILLERAND MAY NOT
ATTEND CONFERENCE

PARIS, April 12,-(By the Assoc
ciated Press -Nothing has as yet
been decided as to Premier Miller
ands attendance at the supreme
council meeting at San Reno, and
it was declared today in a reliable
source that If the conference there
was to discuss the misunderstanding
between France and Great Britain
he would not go at ell.
A personal talk on the subject with
Premier Lloyd George would be well
coined by the French premier if Mr..
Lloyd George could find it conven-
lent to come to Paris, but it is con-
sidered in official circles that as the
point at issue interests France and
Great Britain only it is needless to
discuss it before the personalities
of the other powers.
1t is held here that the British
government in perSisting in the dis
cussion has put the matter in a form
where it is difficult to see what sat
isfaction is possible to give. France
has not been asked to evacuate
Frankfort. and the impression is
gaining ground it was indicated,
that what is sought above all is to
discipline France.
The Earl Of Derby. Great Britain s
ambassador to France, attended the
council of ambassadors here today.
The Hungarian treaty was the sole
matter under discussion.
