REPUBLICAN PARTY
To HAVE PERMANENT
HEADQUARTERS HERE
]. L, Phillips, ThomasviIIe,
Chairman of Central Conn.,
mittee, Gives Out Informal
ton Saturday

Permanent state headquarters fol
the Republican party in Georgia will
be established in Atlanta within the
next two weeks, according to ]. L.
Phillips, of brownsville, chairman of
the reorganized state central Repub-
lican committee, who arrived in At
lanta on Saturday. This is in line
with the program adopted few
weeks ago when the Committee of
100" leading Republicans from all
over the state met at the auditorium
under the auspices of the national
Republican committee and reorgan-
ICED the state central committee, es-
rablishing the principle of white con-
troll.
1t had been understood chat the Of
ficers of the new committee would
hold meeting in Atlapta on Satur-
day, but this date was later said to
have been changed to Monday. Mr..
Phillips, however, declared Saturday
that no officers meeting had been
called and no conference of the Of
f1cers would be held for the pres
emit, at least
"1 have just got back from Wash
ington," said Mr.. Phillips, land have
not had time to do much Of anything.
am here to establish permanent
state headquarters for the Republic
an party in Georgia, in accordance
with the instructions of the com
mittee of 1907 1t is probable that
viii remain here about two weeks"
Asked whether the leaders Of the
party in Georgia would gather here
foi conferences on the situation, Mr..
Phillips declared that there would
probably be a number Of patronage
seekers drifting IN, but that no for
mai conferences were contemplated.
"Pie Hunters" Coming
'There will undoubtedly be a lot
Of pie hunters hanging around" said
Mr.; Phillips. land if you want to
call them leaders suppose you
might say there will be Republican
leaders gathering in Atlanta"
IL IS understood that Charles
Adamson, of Cedartown, treasurer of
the new state central committee, and
walter Johnson, of Columbus, vice
chairman, will be in Atlanta on Mon
day. Their presence aroused specula-
ton among Republicans as to. what
developments might be expected in
the way of statewide organization
and patronage distribution
Another feature of the situation is
the participation for the first time
Of women in Republican affairs in
Georgia. The officers of the new
state central committee include two
women, Mrs. w. J. Tilson, of Atlanta,
second vice chairman, and Mrs. D. C.
Cole, of Marietta, assistant secre-
tary. The five officers constitute the
executive committee, which is clothed
with ample authority to perfect the
state organization of the Republican
party.
Under the policies outlined by the
members of the national Republican
committee when they came to Geor-
100," the distribution of federal pat
ronage in Georgia would not be be-
gun until the state organization has
been completed.

Alabama Congressman
Believes Ford Offer
Will Be Accepted

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. 81
Will B. Bankhead, Alabama congress-
man, who is in Birmingham, express
ed himself as being confident that
Henry Ford would win out in his
fight for the Muscle Shoals project.
UNLESS some one submits to con-
gress a better offer than the Ford
offer, and I do not think this pos
sible, Ford will be the winner" he
said.
Congressman Bankhead said that
behind Ford. 1.-THE reason the coun-
try has so taken to the Ford pro-
posal is because he promises to sell
fertilizers at not more than 8 per
cent above cost Of manufacture. That
has given him the support Of the
farmers Of the country, and that of
the hackers Of the Muscle Shoals
Development.
IT have confidence in Secretary
Weeks. I believe he meant what he
said when he declared to me that so
far as any feeling hostile to the
south is concerned, he is devoid of
that; but on the other hand he leans
the other way.
''The southerners and Democrats
at large tried to have the govern
ment appropriate money to complete
the work and operate the plant in
production of fertilizer. We were
met by the objection Of the Repub-
licans to operation Of works Of that
character by the government.
"The administration on the other
bopd o1arnd re- wi 11inOnnSS TO turn
over the properties to private inter-
ests strong enough and willing TO
operate them on basis satisfactory
to the government and accomplish the
results aimed at
"The definite statement Of Secre-
tary Weeks to this effect was fol-
lowed by a bid from Henry Ford.
The governments proposal has been
accepted by party capable Of put
ting into effect what he proposes
1--WE have wanted the production
Of fertilizers for the farmers at low w
cost and are willing for Mr.. Ford to
have the shoals. I cannot see how
congress can fail to accept his offer,
unless a better one Is made, and l
do not believe a better one will be
made. -,-.

confident we will nave IT, salo SoiA~
