j. Louis Phillips, state chairman
Of the Republican central committee
for Georgia, was given a vote of con-
fidence by the committee at the close
of a stormy secret session in the Re
publican headquarters in the Gambler
building shortly before o'clock
Tuesday. Mr.. Phillips did not tender
viously announced he would do.
| In addition to the resolution in
dorsing he state chairman in flatter-
ing terms and commencing his ad-
ministration, the committee also
passed a resolution sending greetings
to President Harding, expressing
confidence in his administration and
congratulating the people of the
United States upon having such an
able, conscientious and fearless man
who is so patiently and unselfishly
| working out these great problems in
the interests Of our common people"
Following the meeting, Mr.. Phil
lips received the congratulations of
his supporters and issued the follow
| ing statement to the newspapers:
II am of course greatly pleased
at the beautiful tribute of esteem and
! confidence that has been accorded
| me by the committee today. 1t is
| really touching, and 1 am deeply
| grateful I could not, of course, con-
slider rendering my resignation when
| I had been requested not to do SO
in such flattering terms. 9
1.-The meeting was harmonious in
| cuorJy The 0p1U HiSoor6ant
! note was the presence of few in
surgents who tried to have things
| their own way to the detriment of
| the party lin Georgia.
II regret that Mr.. Mcclure could
not be admitted to the meeting. He
was not a member CT the committee,
| and did not hold a proxy; consequent
| ly he could not be admitted"
The insurgents held a meeting
Tuesday afternoon in the Piedmont
hotel, at which they discussed plans
| for further procedure. 1t was| in
Dictated that further action would be
taken within a short time in an eff
fort to GUST Phillips, and that anoth-
er meeting of the committee might
be called for this purpose.
Charges were freely made at this
meeting that Mr.. Phillips had en-
gineSred a "steam-roller" at the cen
t1al committee meeting, and that
everything had been mapped out be-
fore hand. 1t was charged that Mr..
Phillips never, at any time, recog-
| nized a speaker who was known to
be an opponent of him.
The vote of confidence, signed by
nineteen loyal Phillips supporters,
was strenuously opposed by the IN
surgents. The insurgents cast six
votes against the resolution, it was
stated. At the opening of the meet
ing at noon Tuesday three commit
teemep who were known to be strong
opponents of Mr.. Philips were GUST
ed and three of Mr.. Phillips sup
porters elected in their stead.
The committeeman who were GUST
ed were A. L. Leonard, of Columbus
Harry Fowler, of Macon, and w. c.
Thomas, a negro, Of Atlanta. The
names of the, men who were elected
to succeed these committeeman were

Macon, to succeed Fowler, and

gain admittance to the meeting.
When he presented himself at the
door, the ergeant-at-arms declined
to admit him, stating that the COM
mittee had received Mr.. Leonard's
resignation. Mr.. Leonard vigorously
protested, declaring that he had not
resigned, although he said he had
been asked to do so. and demanded
ito see that forged resignation"
Mcclure Elected
At the same time Mr.. Leonard
was denied admittance, c.. w. Nc
Clure, well-knoWn Atlanta business
man and a leader of the insurgent
faction in the Republican party OF
the state, was also excluded. Mr..
Mcclure presented a proxy said to
have been made out by Clark
Grier, a well-known Republican, and
demanded that he be admitted.
When the sergeant at arms re-
fused a sharp tilt ensued, which
finally eliminated in the election
of Mr.. Mcclure from the door of
the committee room by two city
detectives.
These two officers had appeared
on the scene at IL o'clock, declar-
ing that they were sent at the re-
quest of L. H. Crawford, vice
chairman, to preserve absolute
order. At that time sharp vocal
clashes were occurring almost every
minute in the hallway between in
surgents and the so-called "loyaP'
faction.
For some unexplained raeson the
meeting was delayed almost an
Fhour in starting. During that time,
the insurgents loudly demanded
that the meeting begin, and Wig
orously protested the delay.
Meeting Mr.. Phillips in the hall,
Mr.. Mcclure asked:
whats the delay?"
Its none Of your business" Mr..
Phillips replied, flushing. II am
running this thing. Not you"
you're afraid to start said
Clark Grier, standing nearby.
Similar tits. frequently occurred
prior to the meeting.
Phillips In Chair
The meeting opened with Mr.! Phil
lips in the chair, with all newspaper
men excluded by decision reached
earlier in the day.
The first business to come UP was
the examining of proxies by the Gre
dentials committee, of which Mr..
Phillips was chairman. Several in
surgents were excluded from the
meeting after this examination.
The committee then took up the
three designations alleged to have
been submitted by Mr.. Leonard, Mr..
Fowler, and Thomas. An attempt
was made to. steam roll the resigna-
tons through, but the insurgents
| protested.
Mr.. Phillips was asked where he
! got the designations, and he replied
| that they were sent him by the men.
He was then asked who accepted
| them, but failed to answer when
| questioned as to when they had
| been accepted and at what meeting
| of the committee.
Mr.. Grier charged freely that the
designations had not been submit
ted by the men and demanded that
they be produced for examination.
This was refused, a vote was taken,
the men were ousted, and their sue
cessors elected.
"I have rot resigned from the cen

greatly inflamed over tine destruction

Two Veterans.

Il is seldom state loses SO heavily
at one time in the services Of distin
suished sons as Illinois has done In
the retirement of Mr.. Cannon and the
death Of Mr.. Mann. Mr.. Cannon's re-
tirernent is SO near it may be referred
to as almost an accomplished fact.
Mr.. Cannon dates hack SO far. he Is
associable with the fathers Of the re-
publican party, and as Il national
legislator has had to do With much Of
the party's congressional history. He
is u mine of political information
ice of his party and the country. His
counsel has always been priced, and
always available. He is leaving the
field with unique record for y1gor.
Gus and effective partisanship, and a
personal popularity knowing no party
lines.
Mr.. Mann also was veteran on
Capitol Hill, a most useful legislator
and personally exceedingly popular.
For mastery Of congressional detail,
and the ability to apply the treasure
at any time and in every emergency,
he has probably not left his equal on
either side of the chamber.
Mr.. Cannon's successor has been
chosen. and is Of the same political
faith. Mr.. Mann's will be chosen in
the spring. and will probably be re.
publican. Both men will. of course,
have to make their way as beginners.
