The Price of Intolerance.

The nomination Of Tom Watson,
equivalent to an election, is no surprise
TO anyone familiar with Georgia poll
tics. OF the three candidates. Hoke
Smith, who ran last, Is the abIest, Gov
Dorsey, who ran second Is perhaps next
to Senator Smith, and Tom Watson,
who ran first. is the least suited OF all
TO represent the great state in the
United States senate.
The campaign, however. was not one
in which personal fitness OF the can
didates was paramount In no state
has there been a stronger effort made
by outside influences to coerce the
Democrats than in Georgia
Watson can attribute his success to
the fact that he was denied credentials
as delegate TO the national conven-
ton after having carried a plurality OF
the counties in the state and receiving
a plurality Of all the votes cast in the
preferential primary.
The desire for a square deal Is as
strong with the people OF Georgia as it
is with the people anywhere else. Wat
son was shrewd enough TO convince
the voters that outside influences were
endeayoring to coerco them. and the
result was a natural consequence or
their resentment II there had not been
an attempt made to penaltze Hoke
Smith for voting for reservations to
the league Of nations there would have
been no sentiment for Watson.
Too much stress is being placed upon
absolute loyalty and subservience TO
the administration, which has seven
years behind II and less than seven
months ahead Of It.

Don't marry Maud unless you want

Tor Maud has been brought up to be
lazy, shiftless and untiuy, and she

Is Maud's mother wasteful and ex-

her daughter that clothes are the most

how she gets them. In her very cradle

The ears of corn, wrapped in the
