MAGNATE WILSON NOT
TO ATTEND meeting

Owner Ben Wilson said last night
that it would be impossible for him to
attend the meeting of the Virginia
league magnates in Petersburg next
Tuesday. He will be on the Richmond
Booster trip with the Rotarians at
that time.
Mr.. Wilson stated however, that
evensthough he were present he would
takeno part in the discussion of the
schedule, as he had been given every
thing he wanted in the tentative
schedule. and that Richmond could
expect no more, He is perfecyl
sa tisfied with a split of 65s1 games.
Already seats for the opening
games are in demand" said Mr.. Will
son. I'VE have placed a limited num-
Der of chairs on sale. and one man
yesterday ordered a set of twelve fo.
the opener. Looks like we are 60
ing to have the old-time enthusiasts
back again" Just two places are
needed now to fill the local roster. and
the management has its hooks on
good men for third base and short
stop.
I'VE are willing to meet Bakers
demand for salary" stated Mr.. Will
son, but we are not willing to split
the contract money according to his
views. We hope. however, that our
differences may roll by, and that
Baker may show up at the corner
sack"

SMITH IS WILLING
TO MEET PALMER
IN JOINT DEBATE

The following statement was given
out Thursday by Hoke Smith head
quarters in the Piedmont hotel:
"a very interesting situation has
developed in Waycross according to
report made by Hon. Volney Will
liams, OF that city, to the Hoke
Smith headquarters today. BY a pc
culiar coincidence the supporters of
Attorney General Palmer and the sup
porters of Senator Smith both an
nounced that their candidates would
speak in Waycross on Saturday
night, without either side knowing of
the others plan. When it developed
that both sides had scheduled their
candidates for speeches in Waycross
the same date, the leaders of the
Hol1e Smith committee suggested to
the Palmer leaders that the thing to
do was to arrange a joint meeting
and have the two candidates deba e
section Of southeast Georgia. Mr..
Williams says that the Smith faction,
are still waiting to hear what view
the others take of this suggestion.
His information is that while the
local Palmer men were willing to ar
range the debate they had been Who'll
ly unable to get any information
from Attorney General Palmer as to
whether they can expect him in Way
cross or not.
while the Smith supporters are
exceedingly anxious for the debate
to take place, they are inclined to
be pessimistic of the possibility Of
Attorney General Palmer's friends to
get him in Waycross in time for the
meeting scheduled.
when the Palmer leaders found
that they could not, or in all prob
ability could not persuade the at
torney general to come to Waycross,
these same Palmer leaders proposed
that they. the Palmer men, bring Mr..
Thomas E. Watson to Waycross to
debate with the senator. Mr.. Will
liams says that the Smith support
ers repudiated any such suggestion
as Mr.. Watson has not been a Sc
rious candidate in Ware county. Mr..
Williams believes that the Palmer
supporters, however, see their defeat
and may make a last-minute effort
to switch the Palmer faction to Wat
son in a desperate effort to capture
the county,"

W1hy Shouldn't The S0mh
Furnish Next President?
Asks MOulty1e Observer

ator denies that he ever uttered the
words thus imputed to him. surely
he would not be foolish enough 10
deny it if he really did give utter
ance to such a statement-h 1t is
matter of record. But whether he
said it or no throws no light on the
political situation in Georgia today
helps no voter to decide whether to
support the senator or one OF the
other of his opponents.
The issue in Georgia today is
whether or not this state Will COM
NIT itself as being in favor OF
League of Nations with American
interpretations or whether 1T is M
cIined to a league without American
interpretations or absolutely opposed
to the league as written at the Paris
conference. The people of Georgia
are not voting to sustain the record
of the Democratic party during the
war. That record speaks for itself.
Every loyal Democrat is proud Of
the record, Senator Smith included.
And why should he not be proud?
Didn't he help make the record? Was
he not part and parcel of the adj
ministration? If the Democratic ad-
ministration has been a glorious one,
then Senator Smith is entitled to his
share of the credit for even his en-
emies-personal enemies-admit that
he has been instrumental in securing
much of the legislation for which
the Democrats are being accredited.
Attorney General Palmer is MAX
ing the race on the record Of the
individual record. Senator Smith is
asking the people of Georgia to Ell
Their indorse or repudiate his own in
dividual record, not the record of
the Democratic party, not the record
of President Wilson, but Senator
Hoke Smiths record!
Going back to the Lusitania Incl
dent and Senator Smiths supposed
remark at the time:
The Lusitania was sunk May T.,
1915. At that time the war had been
in progress about ten months, and
there were thousands and thousands
of people in this country who had
not taken a stand against Germany
as they did later wnen America en-
tered the war.
AT that time the people of the
United States were almost one in ia
vor Of the United States remaining
out of the conflict. 1t is true when
the Lusitania was sunk the people
realized that Germany was our en-
envy, but even then millions of our
people who later were the bitterest
not think it advisable for the United
States to enter the war then-and
President Wilson was one of them.
Wasn't the Democratic slogan in
1916, HE Kept Us Out of WARP"
If Senator Smith made the state
ment which is charged against him
by certain ewspapers-most of
whom have always opposed him
whether right or wrong-he was
acting no more disloyal than Presi-
dent Wilson, who. had the power to
advise congress to declare war and
who did not exercise that function
because he. like Senator Smith and
millions of other loyal Americans,
