But II one can say the hOnors were
even in the battle of wits on the stand,
the one side seeking to support the
charge of an immense campaign fund
and the other trying to prove that they

goal, so might it be said that dishonors
were even, too.

Palmer doubtless had his reasons
but, nevertheless, what advantage as
a regular party Democrat has he
over Mr. Hoover? But the point is:
this mere committee has no right
to argue this question with the Dem
ocratic voters at all. They will have
10 be depended on to carry the cleo
ton and they have the superior right
to decide whether Mr.. Hoover's char
acter, his splendid ability, his posi-
ton on public questions, his recent
support of the party do not make
MIN In their eyes an acceptable NOM
lnee and they resent as an insult
the dictation by a mere committee
who are the servants, not the mas
tiers, as to how they shall decide.
This is the case of the Hall county
Democrats against the action of the
committee. and this is the question
before the Democrats of Georgia, and
it will not down until some means
be found to retire these committee
men from their positions so grossly
abused.
I understand one of the commit
tee intimated that even if 100000
Democrats should insist upon it the
committee would still feel it their
duty as it is in their power to refuse
to put Mr.. Hoover's name on the tick
ct Could official insolence go fur
ther?' They plume themselves as be-
ing little political bosses" all right.
But we are certain the free people
of Georgia will not be so abject as
to grovel in the dust between their
feet. H. H. PERRY.

Audit Our Books" Is
Reply to Allegation
Made Against Wood

WASHINGTON, March 23.-"Audit
our books, they're open to inspec-
tion.",
This was the answer today Of Cen
eral Leonard Woods managers to
reports and charges being widely
circulated, that General Woods cam.
paign is being paid for out of huge
fund, $1,O00,0O0 % more subscribed
by ten millionaires.
Senator Moses, southern manager
for General Wood, said today that
the record of expenditures is open to
any one who thinks General Woods
campaign is being conducted inn
properly, as to the use Of money or
any other way.
But those calling attention to
General Woods campaign fund said
they are not so much interested in
how he spends it, assuming that 1t
will be spent legally, as they are in
where he gets it.
Senator Borah, a supporter Of Sem
ator Hiram Johnson, issued a state
ment suggesting :hat General Wood
tell the QuDllC Wnere MS CdLHpdlSu
funds are coming from.
If General Wood will not tell SEN
ator Borah may make a speech in the
senate, stating facts which have
come into his possession regarding
the donors of the fund, he said.
Senator Borah said that money is
being so freely used in an effort to
control the Republican convention at
GI,io hot ha
tional PERIL
General Woods managers not only
owe it to candidates but "still more
to the party and the country to clear
these charges in an unmistakable
way" Senator Borah declared in
statement.
"The use of money in elections has
reached a point where the people
will have to take hold of it," he
said. at is nothing less than ma
tional peril that two months before
the convention the use Of money! in
the attempt to control the conven-
lion has reached the point of scan
dal.
"That a vast sum of money is be-
ing spent is perfectly apparent. 1
have seen letters from South Da-
kcta, Virginia and Illinois showing
that the people generally are becom-
ing very restless in the face of the
apparent use of money for corrupt
purposes.
From what I have known Of Gen
eral Wood I would not suspect him
for a moment of doing the things
which are being charged against him
in this campaign. But it is not suf-
ficient that he does not himself &C.
tually participate. He cannot be
the recipient of favors of such
campaign without being himself re-.
sPpnsible.
Il hope General Wood or his man.
ayers will not permit this matter
to go until it will boone a subject
which others will have to take hold
Of"
