It seems that the majority of
the people are for Parker, so
why not let the delegates be in

The Augsta Chronicle is glad
over the discovery that the Re v.

good job out west. A good job
is no Small joke, however.
The suicide of Mr. R. H. Plant
of Macon, late president of the
banks which failed last week,
only emphasises the fact that
after all poverty has its blessings
as well as hardships.
Judging from the number of
free trips that have been given

over the country the St Louis

The war in the far east dra^s

Early visitors to the St Louis
exposition state that the sights
# are not so many from the fact
that things are not in complete
shape. A case of early bird too
early for the worm.
Before turning your Xray ap

Abolish The Two=Thirt’s Rule.
This rule in congressional and
conventions has long since
abolished in Georgia.
Why, then, should it continue
to prevail in national conven
tions? It is nothing more, and
has ever been the cause of strife
and discord in the party coun
cils. The Republican party—
the greatest and most success
ful political organization on
earth, always operates under the
majority rule. Their conven
tions are never blocked or ham
pered with this ancient and ob
solete handicap. The rule of
the majority is good enough for
them.
If the two-thirds rule prevails
at St. Louis, a majority may
prevent the nomination of the
party’s choice. Hearst with his
barrel and his heelers can pre
vent the nomination of any ma
jority candidate, and if we are
not woefully mistaken that is
his game.
The Georgia convention shoulc
suggest to the St. Louis conven
tion by an overwhelming vote
that the iron-clad hindrance of
the two-thirds rule be abolished.

While so much comment is
being made upon an article in a
recent issue of the Augusta
Chronicle concerning what the
people of the Second Congress
ional district owe Jim Griggs it
is a good time to speak out in
open admiration of the Chroni
cles editorial page. Tom Lo;
less always has, now has and al
ways will have courage to speak
out in meeting and when he
does there’s something said.
