Fitzgerald leader enterprise and press., 1924-05-01

I was delighted at the election of
Mr.. Griner as delegate to New
York from our district as he was
among our earliest McAdoo workers,
and it was largely due to his efforts
on election day that our county went
overwhelmingly for Mr.. McAdoo.
I love excitement but was not
looking for it in the resolution our
committee passed SO readily, endors-
ing Major Cohen and Mrs. Edgar Al
exander as National Committeeman
and Committeewoman. When read,
however, with the result as announced
in all state papers, I am sure more
than one lady thought of seeking COW
er in the storm pit. And it was al
together due, I think, to the wisdom
and tact of Judge Newton Morris,
chairman, that the matter was held
down as commercially as it was.
AS for my own position as presiden-
tial elector for the Third District
while I appreciate the honor, l cannot
fail to see the humor of the situation
Fitzgerald leader enterprise and press., 1924-05-01

in the summing up of recent politi
cal article by Senator Albert Bever-
idge as follows:
$50 it has come about that these
presidential electors are no more than
party registering devices without judg-
ment, will or power, instead of being,
as the Constitution intended, the
picked elders of the land endowed with
the noble authority to use their ma
turest thought, in council and after
consideration, in finding and naming
a president of the United States"
However, l fail to see the wisdom
of letting our Northern and Western
sisters, nor even Our North Georgia
sisters, advancing in the political
world while we slumber over our
opportunities. Therefore, | take pleas
ure in trying to increase my bit, of
wisdom by doing to the very best of
my ability what has been given me to
do.
