UNWORTHY USE OF PATRONAGE.
It is said that the removal of the
liostmistresses at Toccoa and Con
ors in this state to make way for
male appointees was a part of the
plans of George B. Cortelvou to se
cure the presidential nomination on
the republican ticket. These two
good women could be of no use in
rgantzing republican county conven
tions and securing delegates for a
presidential candidate and for that
reason were turned out of position to
ake way fc-r men who could do the
work.
If tliis is true, and there is every
indication to |ioint to its being true
then Mr. Corelyoti is no lit to btconie
president of the United States and
public sentiment all over the countr,
will condemn him so strongly and on
phatically that he will never have
banco to lit- nominated for the presi
dency.
It matters little to us who the re
publican party names as its standard
hearer. The democrats will do their
host to defeat the man, whoever he
c he. At the same time it if
known that Mr. Koosevelt is favorable
n tin- candidacy of Mr. Taft, and ii
Ining all lie can in a honorable waj
n have him nominated. It is im-x
