Executive Committee
CONGRESSMAN' UNDERWOOD HAS
BEEN BEN BUTTED BY THOSE
WHO TRIED TO GIVE HIM A
Dirty dead.
Atlanta, Ga., March 28.—While
they pretend to "stick to their
guns" members ot the atate Execu
tive Committee, - some of them -at
least, realize that they made a mis
take tn abandoning the county nnlt
plan tn connection with the presi
dential primary of May I.
Even some of the most ardent
politics! menus ot the committee
and the taction It represents, are
criticising this action. In many cases
to tha extend ot refusing to support
the candidate It wait sought to 1>ene-
flt by this rule completely exclud
ing any minority from th* state con-,
ventlon.
A notable case In point Is' that ot
Commissioner of Agriculture Thom-
ar G. Hudson who, while he Is open

planks In his platform.
Smith Men fotj Underwood. _
Another Is that of Judge James K.
Hines, special attorney for the Rail,
road commission, ^for years a con*
* slstent advocate of Hoke Smith, who
now declares that th c state should
repudiate the committee, action in
abandoning the bounty unit plan,
and says the only way to do It is to
vote for Oscar Underwood as the
Democratic nominee for President.
Upon the same theory, In part, and
also because h e believes In Under
wood, James L. Anderson of Atlan
ta, well -known attorney who was
manager of two campaign* for Qov.
Hoke Smith, has joined the Under
wood forces and Is now president of j
the Fulto? County Underwood Club,
Many other Instances might be
mentioned along the same line, and
it Is not to be questioned that mem.
fcers of the state committee are feel
's ing It,
It Is generally charged that the
.plan was made in the hope that with
the Georgia vote, divided among Un
derwood, Harmon and Clark on the
cne hand, Wilson would secure the
plurality In enough counties to give
him the Georgia delegation,
w / Underwood Much Stronger.
But there Is no question that the
arrangement has redounded to the
advantage of Underwood. The
whole force of Thomas E. Watson’s
influence has turned In that direc
tion purely on account of the aban
donment of the county unit plan. Mr.
Watson and his friends hold that the
only possible method of rebuking th*
committee’s action hr to give Geor
gia’s vote to Mr. Underwood.
fhat Underwood’s strength in
Georgia has grown extensively since
the committee acted, is self-evident;
that the committee action had some
thing to do with ft, cannot be
questioned.
The Underwood leaders here are
jubilant over the Reports coming
from nil sections of the state, and
Manager G. R. Hutchens delights In
reiterating Ms statement:
a- “I do not concede a cringle Geor
gia county to Prof. Wilson of New
Jersey.”
