WANTS A PERMANENT DATE
FOR THE STATE PRIMARY
Col. Judson Strickland Has a Resolution to Go Be¬
fore the State Convention.
Hon. Judson M. Strickland yester¬
day sent out the following circular
letter to the press of the State;
Griffin, Ga., June 4, 1906.
Mr. Editor:
The State Democratic Executive
Committee now has the authority
to fix a date for the state primary.
The committee has made a date this
year that will make it impossible for
the Secretary of State to comply with
the law requiring him to ftumish to
the proper authorities election blanks
with names of candidates and instruc-
tins 30 days before the regular elec¬
tion in October. Heretofore candidates
have complained that the dates for
the primary have been fixed so as to
give advantages to those who had
friends on the committee.
As the cardinal principle of Democ¬
racy means equal rights to all and
special privileges to none, it is our
duty as Democrats to try to perfect
such a condition. I believe that the
next State Convention should fix a
permanent date for a primary just as
it is permanent in the regular elec¬
tion, and shall present to the conven¬
tion a resolution to that effect. .
As the primary is an improvement
over packed mass meetings, I believe
there can still be suggestions mrde
for the improvement of our election
SENATOR GORMAN
YIELDS TO DEATH
Was Improving When He Waa
Stricken by Heart Disease.
SERVED IN SENATE FOR 18 YEARS
---V-
Senator Gorman Had Long Baan a No¬
table Figure in the National Con¬
gress—Managed Campaign of Cleve¬
land In 1884.
Washington, June 4.—Arthur Pue
Gorman, United States senator from
Maryland, died suddenly at hi* resi¬
dence in thlsctty at 9:05 o’clock on
Monday morning. While Senator
Gorman had bean ill for many montbs,
he had shown some Improvement late¬
ly. Heart trouble waa the Immediate
cause ot death.
Senator Gorman long had been a no¬
table figure in the national congress.
He first toow his seat In 1881, and
served oontlnusously for 18 years, and
nearly all that time he was the lead¬
er of his party in the senate. Winning
early reputation for sagacity and the
SENATOR A. P. GORMAN.
keenest judgment in congressional af¬
fairs, he attained prominence, not only
as a leader In the senate, but in the
country at large and by many men was
considered the most available man in
Isis party for the presidency. He
was chairman of the executive com¬
mittee and managed the campaign
that resulted in the election of Cleve¬
land in 1884.
The most notable contest of his
congressional career and one which aL
traeted to him wider attention than
anything else, was when he led the
senate minority In 1890-91 dnd defeat¬
ed the federal elections bill. To bis
1 sagacious leadership' and adroit man¬
agement his party friends attributed
the defeat, of the measure which was
80 obuoxiovs to the south.
When the democrats had control of
the senate. (Viiraan was the recognized
leader of t at body. It waa at that
time that file tariff bill of 1894 was
passed, and although the Maryland
senator was not a member of the
finance committee, he had so much to
do with shaping that measure that bis
name Is often given to it and. In fact,
It is frequently called the Wllton-Gor-
m&n tarlffi. It was during Cleveland s
last administration that a break oc¬
curred between the Democratic presi¬
dent ami the leader of the party
senate. In a speech which
will be remembered by thoee
heard it. Senator Gorman severely
raigned the president. To this
site the rfe/e*l of.
laws, and recognising the potential
influence of the {ness in all reforms
for good, I would be glad to have
your personal views that I may pre¬
sent them with the resolutions.
Yours very truly,
J. M. Strickland.
We folly agree with the intent and
purpose of Mr. Strickland’s proponed
resolution, but it does not seem to
folly cover the case. The coming
convention can fix the date of the
primary to come off two years hence,
Just as it placed restrictions on the
time that this one is to be held; but
further than that it can not go, the
succeeding convention being an inde¬
pendent body In no wise bound by
any action of its predecessors.
Mr. Strickland’s resolution should
ask the legislature to amend the pri¬
mary election law so as to make the
date permanent, just as the dates of
the regulur elections are.
His statement that he will present
the resolution himself is an assump¬
tion that may not pass unnoticed.
We presume that he will be a mem¬
ber of the convention if Hoke Smith
carries this county, but that is by no
means a foregone conclusion. This
year’s primary has not yet been held.
Bu t, of course, if he is not a delegate
he can doubtless get one of his friends
to introduce his
a Tew years later' Is attributed, al¬
though his party lost Maryland In the
silver campaign. As soon as the dem.
ocrats regained control of the state he
was at once re-elected to the senate.
It was a tribute to his leadership
that as soon as he was again In the
senate he was made leader of the mi¬
nority and although the aentorlty rule
is strictly enforced, Gorman'waa giv¬
en committee places that were equal
to those he had held after long con¬
tinuous service.
Senator Gorman was vigorously op¬
posed to the acquisition of the Phil¬
ippines, and fought the ratification of
the Paris treaty with all the force he
possessed. Knowing that strong pres¬
sure was being brought to boar against
him. he urged aa early vote while
the friends of the tfeaty held hack
until the necessary two-thirds of the
senators were secured. Condemning
extravagance in public expenditures.
Senator Gorman’s pleas for economy
voiced the views ef his party that less
money should he spent for big ships
and more for river and harbor Im¬
provements.
