in the event a statewide primary
is not held because there is only
one candidate « for the Georgia
delegates. President Roosevelt
may be the only candidate, since
it appears doubtful whether Gov

view of the fact that sentiment in
Georgla is overwhelmingly for
Roosevelt, ‘
Mass Meeting 1
At today’s meeting Mr. Wright |
called attention to a ecall for a‘
countywide meeting of Roosevelt}
supporters, issued by State Sena
tor Lamar C. Rucker and Repre
sentatives Carlisle Cobb and Jake
B. Joel, 'Mr. Wright urged mem
bers of the “executive committee
to attend theé meeting, as well as
all other Roosevelt supporters in
the county. In their call for the
mass meeting ' tomorrow at the
court house' ‘at 11 o'clock, the
Clarke legislators urged a full at
tendance for :the purpose of set
ting up a Roosevelt organization
in this county. It is expected that
a. large number of Roosevelt sup
porters will. attend the -meeting.
As spokesman for the Roosevelt
committee at today's meeting of
the executive committee, Chair
man Shackelford said that “this
committee does not feel that it is
fair and just for Governor Tal
madge, who is a bitter personal
and political © epponent of Presi
dent Roosevelt,” to have the State
Executive committee, practically |
selected and controlled by him, to
select delegates to the national
convention, when it is known of
all men that the Democrats of the
state of Georgia are overwhelm
ingly in favor of President Roose
velt.” Lo e
iMr. Shackelford's complete
statement follows:
“Gentlemcnflcffftfi} Clarke County
Democratic = Executive Commit
tee: ;
“A committee of citizens and
supporters of President Roosevelt
met Monday " aftéernoon and by
resolution requested Mr., H. J.
Rowe, chairman of your commit
tee, to c%:.fl:fis committee to
gether for e puarpose of passing
such resolution as they saw
proper in reference to preferential
primary for .the nomination of
delegates from the state of Geor
gia to the Democratic convention
to be held in Philadelphia.
“We were appeinted to appear
hefore: your. ‘committee and re
spectfully ask that you pass res-l
olution requesting the State _Dem-'
ocratic Exeeutive Committee to
call a preferential primary, and in|
the event that no candidate, ex- |
cept Fresident Rooscvelt ontersi
his name in the Democratic pri
mary that the State Executive
Committee _either call a primary,
or allow President Roosevelt to
name his delegates to this con
vention to be held in Philadelphia.
“This committée does not feel
that it is fair and just for Gover
nor Talmadge,. who is the bitter
personal and political opponent of
President Roosevelt, to have the |
State Executive Committee, prac-l
tically selected and controlled by
hirm, to select delegates to the na.'-,
tione!l convention, when it is
known of all men that the Demo-[
crats of the state of Georgia are |
overwhelmingly in favor of Pres
ident Roosevelt. l
Support Principles
“This committee thinks that
these delegates to the Philadelphia
convention should not only be
supporters of President Roose+
velt, but that they should be sup
‘portres of the New Deal and the
principles which he advocates. It
would be a tragedy, indeed, to
send a delegation to the Philadel
phia convention®merely supporting
President Roosevelt personally
and fighting in the convention andl
attempting to destroy the veryl
principles upon which he is seek
ing his re-election.
“Such a delegation would not
only create confusion and disorder
in the convention, but would have
the tendency to aid the Republican
party in their fight against Pres-l
ident Roosevelt.
*Thigwge ittee feeling that you{
‘?l'ihe mm%, of the Demo- |
‘ratic party in Clars county, and
believing that the fMmocrats ot‘l
this county are overvshelmingly
for the things above asked for, re
spectfully ask that you pdss reso
lution setting forth thel wishes
and will of the Demotrats ofl
Clarke county, and that you for
ward a copy of these I'esolutions‘
to Mr. Hugh Howell; chairman of
the State .Democratic Executivel
Committee. "
Was Forecast
Adoption of the resolutions,
which follow, has been expected
since Chairman Rowe issued the
call for the meeting. The resolu
tions met the tapproval of the
Roosevelt o()tee, At the l‘e-!
quest of the Rébsevelt committee,
the executive. committee unani-‘
cously voted not to hold an execu- |
' \ gession to consider the I'e-|
queckt of the Roosevelt group, and
the Wpsolutions were adopted ir an
open ¥neeting.

All Candidates for County Offices Must
Qualify by Noon on Saturday, March 21
'Attention Called by Car
| lisle Cobb to State Law
! Coverning Date
Candidates for office in Clarke
county in the primary to be held
on April 21, must pay entrance
fees and qualify by noon Satur
day, March 21, in order to be with
lin the law it was announced to-
Iday.
l The date originally fixed by the
.C_larke County Democratic Execu
[tive Committee at its meeting on
iJanuary 10, was Avril 10, which
{is only eleven days before the
primary. ¢
The attention of H. J. Rowe,
chairman of the committee, was
called t, the fact that the com
mittee had erred in setting the
‘Drimary date as. April 10, in a
{ communication form Carlisle Cobb,
who pointed out that the state
law requires ecandidateg for state
and county offices qualify not
later than 30 days provious to the
holding of the primary.
Mr. Cobb’s letter follows:
Hon, H. J. Rowe,
Chairman of Clarke Co. Executive
Committee,
Athens, Ga. ‘
Dear Sir: - |
In looking up a point of law the
other day I came uvpon a sectlon‘
in regard to fixing of closing
dates for primaries. I was not
look‘ng for this and came on it
purely by accident. It is contain
;ed in Section 34-1903 of the 1933
Code (the new Code),
| Buried way down at the tail end
iof a very long section is the ex
press provision that local execu
tive committees should NOT fix
a closing date less than thirty
days before the primary. This pro
vision is not indexed and I doubt
if anyone knew of it.
However, I thought it best to
call your attention to it sé that
candidates or vprospective candi
dates may be informed of this in
time to qualify. Otherwise a mis
understanding may arise about it
later on.
Yourg very truly,
CARLISLE COBB.
The section of the state law re
ferred to by Mr. iCobb and bearing
divectly on qualification of candi
dates reads as follows:
“All candidates for mnomination
for State and County offices in
cluding members of the General
Assembly,. shall qualify as such
candidates in accordance with the
lrulex ‘of the party calling the pri
mary, not ltaer than 30 days pres
|voius to the holding of such pri
| mary, and the Committee or othet
| party authority of such party shall
| not fix any other or different time
[limit for qualification.” |
On receipt of the foregoing let
;ter from Judge Carlisle Cobb,
Chairman Rowe after a conference
|with Secretary John T. Gireen,
made the following announce
ment: ‘
“To the publie, candidates and
prospective candidates for county
offices; My attention has been
calle to Section 34—1903 of the
| Code of Georgia, - which requires
ltlm closing of entrances for can
didates for county offices thirty
'da‘,’.‘f prior to the date of the pri
' mary. At a meeting of the mem
lhers of Clarke County = Demo
| cratic Executive Committee, held
,on Jgnoary 10, 1936, the commit
tee erred in fixing the closing date
for entries of candidates for April
I¢, at 12 o’clock noon, which is
only 11 days before the primary.
“Therefore, in order to avoid
':my illegal complications and pos
sible confusions after the primary,
p
tary;” George A. Crane, L. L.
Lester, K. A. Hill, J.. P. Nunnal
-Iy, T. W. Morrison, A. O. Flan
agan, H. R. Waters, Harris
Thurmond, Dean Amis and Lon
Crawford.
The resolutions adopted calling
for a preferential primary followzl
The Resolutions
“Whereas we, the Democratic
Esecutive Committee of Clarke
County, Georgia, are the duly
elected representatives of the Dem
ocratic party in said county, and
‘ ‘Whereas, the Democrats of this
state are vitally interested in the
nomination of the candidate of
their pariy fcr the office of Pres
ident ‘of the United States, and
“Whereas, it is contrary to the
principles of our party and in
imical to the best interests of our
great organization for any small
group to select our candidate for
Presides: and
“Whereas, the Democrats of this
the standard bearer of the Dem
ocratic party should be selected
by the voice of all the members
of the party and that therefore a
primary should not be refused on
the ground that there is only one
candidate;
“Be it resolved, therefore, that
this body go on record as favoring
a preferential primary for the
election of delegates to the nat
jonal convention .of the Demo
cratic party to be held in Phila
ide]phia and that the State Dem
ocratic BExecutive Committee be
- most strongly urged to call a pri
\}mary for this purpose.
i “Be it resolved further that we
earnestly desire a primary even if
there is only one candidate en
tered but that if no primary should
be called on the ground that there
|is no opposition then such un
,opposed candidate should be au
thorized by the State Committee
to name the delegates from the
lstate of Georgia to the national
‘convention so that there will be
no doubt of their loyalty to him,
lns was done in the case of Sena
itor W. F. George in the campaign
of 1928.
‘ “Be it further resolved that the
‘reprpsenmtlves of Clarke county
on the State Committee be urged
to do their utmost to further the
holding of a preferential primary.
| “Be it further resolved, that
_copies of this resolution be fur
‘nished to the State Democratic
representatives of county,

% As too heavy a burden wears out a rope, strand by sirand, so can poor lighting cause a '
premature breaking down of human eyesight. The tiny muscles, the delicate nerves so ;
finely attuned and se constantly used in all visual tasks may be strained to the breaking
point by inadequate or improper light.
Too often, poor lighting alone is responsible for the tragedy of defective eyesight
in one of every five grade school children, of eye trouble in four of every ten students ’
in college. More than half of all people in this country have sight defects by the time they
reach 40, and in those of greater age, this proportion is even higher.
Electric light. of course, brought a great improvement in indoor seeing conditions,
L= 9 ? $ s 2
but even electric light does not in itself mean proper light. Each seeing job requires a
different amount of light; more, for instance, is needed for reading than for washing
dishes, more for fine sewing than for card playing.
Proper light is relaxing. It helps eyes to do their work comfortably, safely, easily.
Softly diffused, glareless, yet of sufficient intensity, good lighting conserves energy and
prevents much of the eyestrain that results in fatigue, headaches and sometimes even
permanent eye injury.
Our Home Ligliting Advisors cannot cure injured eyes—only the eyesight specialist
can do that—but they will, skillfully, accurately, check the lighting in your home and
give you any suggestions needed for bringing it to a safe standard for reading, sewing,
studying. Possibly a simple shade to eliminate glare from a bare bulb is all that is nec
essary. Or an increase in wattage. Or moving a portabie lamp from one place to another
in the room. There is no cost or obligation in connection with this service; it’s free to
. any of our electric customers. Just telephone for an appointment.
