Something A bout Tabor. Judge Tabor i who made all the arrangements’for Clark Howell's Y ;■ y iedii defeating fpii the of .bom j regular 1 Democratic nominees for county | offices, is the leader of the iiide-| pendent forces. He is co pub 1 lsher of a newspaper, his partner being the Republican postmaster of Ellijay, and former chairman of the Republican executive com¬ mittee. He voted in the last state Democratic primary, and his vote was challenged, whereupon he pledged to support the nominees of the party. However, shortly afte r w a r d s when tho Democrats nominated a candidate for ordinary, Judge Tabor announced as an independ¬ ent candidate, and with the as -1 ! sistance of the Republicans was elected. in In the rue J.ice l-we ioi for congiessniai from the Ninth district between Bel!, the Democratic nominee there was stretched in front ‘ ' of " labor s newspaper office a ban ner, urging the people to vote for the Republican. The people of Gilmer county especially the Republicans who have followed him, are wondering ii it is tlie purpose of Judge Tabor to desert them in the coming election and return to the Demo¬ cratic party, swallowing the in¬ sulting pledge and all, just to imtw for Clark Jioweii. Tabor’s Committee, Tabor’s unusual move on Mon¬ day in organizing win.t ho de¬ clares is the regularly elected Democratic executive committee lends color to the_ belief that he proposes to desert the people elected him as ordinary, although there are those who say it is. the purpose of the new committee to hold a primary, allowing all Re publicans who will vote for How ^ ell vote, though to even the qual¬ ifications arc distasteful to them and they propose to vote for the Republican , nominees for dent two years hence. It has been reported among the organized Democrats that himself feared ho would not allowed to Vote in the prinury inasmuch as he ran as an •ndepeudent and defeated tho reginar nominee of the Democrats \ or ordinary, and this after he ’ ,a< votp “ in the stale primary ....a and pledged ,i-i i himself j • ,' to support “SUCK TAIL DEMO¬ CRATS DESCRIBED BY FARMER BY RALPH SMITH. | ELLIJAY, Ga., May 23.— J ; After the rump mass meeting ; ; here Monday, which was pre- ; • sided over by A.
