AY, MARCH SO, ISIS. Partisan Acts of State 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.

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.” 'fers throw awty mad flft KNOX SAIDS AWAY AGAIN.
