Charming Dancing Frocks.

A number of charming dancing
dresses nave the entire skirt made Of
petG.s of roses, dark brown or black,
on self-tone tulle foundations. The
result is dress made of petals, but
in no way looking like flower dress.
II gives more the effect of rufIled
skirt than of anything else and is won
derfully attractive. Similar effects are
worked out In dresses of pink metal
gauze. The bodlces topping these pet
aled skirts are extremely plain, some
times entirely devoid of trimming. The
fluffy appearance of such costumes IS
made even more pronounced by volu-
minous scarfs of tulle. These scarfs
are also worn with the more sedate
type Of evening dress, and frequently
the colors are In striking contrast to
the dress. For instance. scarf Of
brilliant blue may accompany dress
OF rose color.

THE PEOPLES INTEREST

Albany Herald: The presidential
campaign of 1920 is new in the skir
mish stage. 1t is not yet clear what
candidates in the two big parties will
later be referred to as the leading
aspirants for the worlds highest Of
flee, though it is clear the public will
have a large field from which to make
it's selections.
1t is too much to hope that the
politicians will concede the right of
the people to do their own selecting.
The politicians can always re trusted
to take it for granted that the peo.
pie need to be guided by experienced
hands through the shoaly waters Of
candidate picking. The fact that the
politicians have steered the people
into some sad and bitter experiences
in the past is conveniently forgotten
that is, the politicians have forgot
ten, and it remains to be seen wheth-
,er the people have any better memor?
les.
Just now the Democratic voters Of
Georgia and some of the Democratic
political leaders of the state are
clashing over the right of the people
to select their own candidates What
the Ohio State Journal says in the
following is not inspired by anything
that is happening in Georgia, but it
is highly interesting as bearing on
a condition with which the people
Of this state are familiar:
Most of the ,fayofite sons make a
great point of their courtesy in not
entering the primary against him in
a state which has a favorite son Of
its own, 1t shows. if the real motive
is courtesy and not fear how thorough
ly imbued the normal candidate is
with the idea that this 'yeaEs affair
is being conducted solely in the in
terest of himself and his rivals. 1t
does not seem to occur to him that
the voters may desire to paI ticipate
ferences among the men who aspire
to the presidency, regardless of
whose feelings are hurt When "a man
goes so far as to become an active
candidate he ought to give his fell
low partisans every possible oppor-
tunity to make known their wishes
his preferment
The object ought to be to utilize
the primary machinery to ascertain
as nearly as possible whom the mem
bers of a party, in the nation as
whole, really wish to nominate. On
The Cordele dispatch., 1920-03-11


the contrary, the politicians seek
with some prospect Of success to uti
lie this machinery to keep the party
rank and file from recording its ma
jority opinion and to tie UP enough
delegations with pledges to different
tual chance of nomination, to pre-.
favorite sons, having little OF no ac-
vent popular choice if they see fit
and to afford the rs or 80 men
around the table an opportunity TO
manipulate the convention as they
may desire.
