MONDAY, MAY 7, 1906.
(There' will be no tariff• reform^ as,
long as the Republican party remains'
ijt power.
■Evangelist Torrey and his great
sieger, Alexander, have opened a cam'
pdlgn In Atlanta.
*
H Is now evident that we will have
to puli through another summer with
mosquitoes In Albany.
“Prophet" Dowle has about run his
course. He Is financially a bankrupt,
and his sins have found him out.
All are now agreed that we have
had enough rain in thlB neck of the
woods to last for two or three weeks.
Atlanta Is bidding for the next meet
ing of the Grand Army of the Repub
lic. Atlanta will take anything she
can get. ,
Just now the people In this neck of
the woods are being reminded of the
old saying, "It never rains but It
pours.",
Many n woman has more sense than
the man she Is yoked to for life has,
and Is discreet enough not to let him
know It.
That hall storm of last Friday af
ternoon put something like COO acres
of cantaloupes and almost ns many of
watermelons In the Albany district
out of business.
"THE RING."
Wo have all been hearing a great
deal about "Tho Ring" since the open-
■ng of the present gubernatorial cam
paign In Georgia.
One of the gubernatorial candidates
and his Atlanta organ have been rav
ing at "The Ring” since early last
fall, and all sorts of high political
crimes and misdemeanors have been
charged against It by them.
Where 1b "The Ring!’’
What Is It?
And of whom Is It composed?
These are questions that have been
asked by those of an inquiring turn of
mind ever Blnce the campaign opened,
but the answers that have been given
havb not always been definite or satlB'
ractory.
But anybody who has eyes to see
end ears to hear ought to now be able
to locate “The Ring” In Georgia. The
action of the State Democratic Com
mittee last week In fixing the rules
and regulations for the Democratic
primary and the howl that has been
raised by the “anti-ring” candidate
und his Atlanta organ over the rule
that only Democrats and such others
ns are willing to declare a desire and
purpose to become Democrats and
vole tbe Democratic ticket will be ah
lowed to vote In the Democratic pri
mary for the nomination of the Demo
cratic candidates for the state ofilceB
—this rule and this howl and tbe re
spective sources of the rule and tbe
howl seem to point pretty clearly to
the Democratic party organization of
the state as "The Ring.”
We have had our own Ideas about
“The Ring" all the time, but the de-'
velopments of the past week'have so'
cleared the political waters of the'
state that anybody who Is lawfully en
titled to exercise the right of franchise'
In Georgia ought to now be able to
see that "The Ring" Is composed of
the same men and those of their de- :
BcendantB who have not been led away
from the true principles and unwaver
ing, unyielding Ideals of their fathers,
who rescued the state from the
clutches of carpetbaggers, scalawagB.
and negfoes In the memorable recon
struction period that followed the
Civil War.
The American lieu is the greatest
wenlth producer In the country. Her
Industry more than quadruples the
production of nil the gold mines In the
United States annually.
The Hofie Smlth-Atlanta' Journal
campaign has degenerated Into a fight
on the Democratic party of the state,
and everybody respectable enough to
have been elected to office In the state
seems to come la for a share of their
abuse.
A Philadelphia preacher told n New
Yprk audience the other day that In a
century there will be 100,000,000 ne
groes In this country. Referring to
this assertion, the Washington Post
says that lie must have been deter-
mlnhd to make the future look as
black as liosslble.
\
The Atlanta Journal doesn’t “take
notice” of the Macon Telegraph any
more. Fact of the business is, tho
Telegraph, in the discussion of the Is
sues that have been sprung by the
Journal and Its gubernatorial candi
date in this campaign, has literally
worn the Journal to a frazzle.
STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC DOC
TRINE.
In the Balnbrldge Search Light of
tho current week we find a timely and
sensible article from that old Demo
eratlc war-horse, Ben E. Russell, oft
the howl that la being raised In cer
tain quarters over the action of the
State Democratic Committee confining
the state Democratic primary to Dem.
ocrats and such other voters as may
declare their desire to become Demo
crats. In tho following extract Mr.
Russell states the caBe fairly and con
vincingly from a Democratic view
point: •
“If tho Bix candidates In tho race for
the governorship nre Democrats, and
they, all clnlm to be, they can have nu
possible objection or aversion to hav
ing their elalnis passed upon by their
party associates. They would all be
‘unmitigated humbugs It they did. They
are not running for governor—the pri
mary election will not elect cither one
of them governor. They are candi
dates for tho Democratic nomination
tor governor. Henco they must ap
peal to Democrats alone for votes—
not Populists, Republicans or Indepen
dents.
It the Populists want a primary elec
tion they can have It. So Can Repub
licans, for any other party, but they
would certainly not Invito or oxpcct
Democrats, ns such, to vote therein.
Such a course would be tho very'ex
treme of folly. Methodists do not In
vite Baptists or other religious de
nominations to come Into their confer
ences and participate In the direction
of their sectarian affairs. They can
manage their own matters of church
polity In their own way, just ns the
Baptists, Prebyterlans, Episcopalians
all do—Just ns the Democratic party
proposes to do, without Interference
from any other political party on
earth. 1
If tho Democratic party Is worth
preserving at all. It Is worth it In all
of Us honor. Integrity and traditions.
We believe that a first-class man will
be nominated" by the Democratic pri
mary on tilft 22nd day of August, next,
and he will be elected by the usual
popular majority.
The doors of the primary are left
open | to every white voter In the state
who Is, or who desires to become, an
organized Democrat. Nothing Is or
can be fairer than this.
What would become of the Baptist
church If the doctrine of Immersion
was to be upheld,‘or decided, by Mcth-
odlBts who believe In sprinkling?
What kind of a party would the Dem
ocratic parly lie with Democracy
stricken out? Every man tHio Is to
vote In the primary, life-long Demo
crat, or Populist, seeking to renew his
allegiance, must vote the same pledge.
There are six candidates who are
seeking the nomination of the Demo
cratic primary—five of them endorse
the action of the state committee.
They are willing to risk their chances
In a Democratic primary. Let the
dissatisfied one, and his dissatisfied
associates, appeal to some other party
—they have a right to do so. If How
ell connived at the action of the com
mittee, he did it as a Democrat, and
I thank God there are such leaders
left In the party, who had rather be
defeated as Democrats than elected as
Mongrels.”
The present house of representa
tives Is composed of 252 Republicans
and 138 Democrats, giving a Republi
can majority of 114. In order to cap
ture the next house, which will he the
Sixtieth congress, the Democrats will
he compelled to lasso fifty-eight seats
and not lose a single one they now
hold. Such a performance would be
little short of revolutionary, and yet it
Is not without precedent in American
politics.
A former servant of Dowle Is quoted
as saying: "I used to buy silk socks
for him at $3 a pair, and he never got
less than five dozen at a time. He
would buy many suits of silk under
wear at $15 a suit, and once he bought
thirty-six pairs of silk suspenders, In-
l(ild with blue butterfles. He never
paid less than $150 for a suit of
olothes, and all his furnishing goods
were proportionately extravagant."
As Viewed From Alabama.
From the Montgomery Advertiser.
It looks as if some sort of a game
between Tom Watson and one faction
of the Democratic party In Georgia
has been broken up by the action of
the State Democratic Committee in
presenting rules for voting. For a
Populist leader of an opposing party
Watson has been taking great Interest
In the contest between Hoke Smith
and Clark Howell. It has been openly
charged that he was seeking to have
all the Populists vote for governor
and thus decide as to who should be
the nominee. The committee require
ment is, that the man who votes In
the primary shall be pledged to sup
port utl Democratic nominees. The At
lanta Journal Is fairly beside Itself
with rage, because of this require
ment.
