FITZHUGH LEE WINS PRIZE.
Mr. Fitzhugh Lee, the son of Dr. and
Mrs. J. W. Lee, Covington, Ga„ has
been notified by his firm that he
has won a prize in the March selling
contest.
Mr. Lee’s employer is a large cor
poration at DesMoines, Iowa, and em¬
ploys some eighty salesmen who trav
el the entire United States.
Competing against this large num
her of high class men, Mr. Lee stood
third in the final count.
Only one more small order would
have placed him at the front in the
contest, so close were the three con¬
testants bunched.
When the fact is considered that Mr.
Lee was competing with salesmen who
travel the thickly populated sttaes of
New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, etc
and his landing third prize, most cer¬
tainly proves him a worthy son of his
native state, Georgia, and hfs home
county, Newton.
The editor of this paper and the
many friends of Mr. Leeare glad to
congratulate him on thus showing his
energy and ability as a hustler and
a good salesman.

DEMOCRACY OR WILSONISM—WHICH ?
On Tuesday, April 20th, the voters of Georgia
will he afforded an opportunity of deciding oe
tween Democracy and Wilsonism; between Geor¬
gia and Pennsylvania; between a Georgia Demo¬
crat and a Pennsylvania bolter; between achieve¬
ment and deception; between truth and fiction;
between conservatism and autocracy; between in¬
dependence and servility; between a man and a
messenger; between America and England; be
tween a man who insists upon exercising his con¬
stitutional privilege of self-determination and a
man who obeys his master’s yoice; between a
faithful servant, who as Secretary of the Interior,
Governor of Georgia and member of the United
Sia*tes Senate, won fame and distinction and a
man who is without honor in his own state; be¬
tween a Democratic Georgia and Republican Penn¬
sylvania; between an American League of Nations
approved by the. United States Senate and an
English League of Nations forwarded to this coun¬
try by Premier Lloyd-George of England with in¬
structions that it be signed on the dotted lines;
between ratification of a dangerous legal obliga¬
tion without reservations and its Americanization;
between the United States and other countries
whose designing intentions are obviously appar¬
ent; between the homeland and foreign eounthies,
and—
On Tuesday, April 20, 1920, the voters of Geor¬
gia will be called upon to either endorse or affix
the stamp of their disapproval upon a campaign
of lying, slander and hypocrisy that has been
waged by the irreconcilable enemies of United
States Senator Hoke Smith, whom they hate with
a deadly and unreasonable haired because of his
success in the destruction of the old political ring
that was a disgrace to the State for generations,
and because of numerous subsequent victories.
The News does not plead perfection of judg¬
ment and purity of heart tor Senator Smith, but
he is an angel of light, in comparison with a great
majority of his rabid critics, who. unlike Pilot of
old, have failed to makp out a case against the
man whom they would so joyfully crucify if it -
were in their puny power.
Senator Smith’s record as citizen, lawyer, Sec¬
retary of the Interior, Governor of Georgia and
member of the United States Senate proclaim him
one of America’s foremost citizens and ablest
statesmen, while the unfair attack?! of his un¬
scrupulous enemies reveal the cloven foot of the
traducer. The Senator has achieved well as citi¬
zen, lawyer and statesman, being found wanting
in no instance except in expressing his preference
for Democracy instead of Wilsonism. It that be
unpatriotic, 1 the Senator i8 guilty on several
counts, but many there be who are not qualified
to-“cast the first stone.”
During the war, everything—freedom of speech
and thought, self-determination—liberty of action
—constitutional privileges—were unselfishly sac¬
rificed upon the altar of patriotism, but the time
arrived for the re-establishment of the pre-war
basis of Americanism; of American ideals and
American Democracy; of moderation, sanity and
justice.
In their desperation, the anti-Smith politicians,
failing to induce Governor Hugh Dorsey ro enter
the race for President, concentrated upon Attor¬
ney-General A. Mitchell Palmer, a near-Demoerat
from the Republican State of Pennsylvania, who
only two years ago, according to report, bolted the
Democratic nominee for Governor and supported
the Republican candidate. He has a reasonably
creditable record as Attorney-General, but his
Democracy is extremely doubtful, as that of any
other man who repudiates the primary pledge.
Attorney-General Palmer, once opposed to many
administration measures, now insists that the en¬
tire catalogue has his unqualified endorsement.
President Wilson has issued orders that the
League of Nations as drafted by an English gen¬
eral and sent to America for “absolute ratifica¬
tion,” be ratified without the dotting of an “i” or
crossing of a “t,” but the United States Senate
made the discovery that several articles were ob¬
noxious to a large majority of free-born Amer¬
icans and it is proposed to add a few dots and
crosses despite the instructions of the President.
In his Macon address the Attorney-General de¬
clared that the State of Maine had instructed its
Democratic delegates to vote for Palmer, when, as
a matter of fact, no such action has been taken in
the history of politics of that state. Unwilling to
impugn dishonesty to the administration candi¬
date, the people pause to cast the mantle of ignor
ance over the statement so boldly made and so ob¬
viously inaccurate.
Newspapers unfriendly to Senator Smith for
reasons with which rhe people of Georgia have
long been familiar are waiting to strain the limit
in misrepresentation and abuse, and The News
urges the voters to conduct an intelligent and im¬
partial survey of the situation and cast an honest
ballot for Georgia and a Georgian.
Note the difference between the treatment ac¬
corded the Attorney-General by the Atlanta Jour¬
nal and the senseless harangues directed against
Senator Smith by the Atlanta Constitution, to say
nothing of smaller publications of like class 'ami
character, and heed not the protestations of the
raving demagogues. The News earnestly hopes
and steadfastly believes that Newton county will
condemn by its vote the tactics to which various
political crooks are willing to resort by way of
distorting the record of Senator Smith and dis¬
credit him in the estimation of the people, while
endeavoring to magnify the candidacy of the At¬
torney-General. who is merely a stalking horse for
President Wilson, who refused to state that be
would not accept a third term, or some other dark
horse. Senator Smith is the real candidate in this
State and will be the leading candidate of the
Democratic party at the San Francisco conven-
CHURCH CONFERENCE
TO BE HELD IN MAY
Interchurch Speaker* to Present the
World Conditions as Relating
to Georgia
Throughout North Georgia during
the month of May there will be a se¬
ries of conferences to bring down to
the people of this section the message
of the Intercfaurch World Movement.
These conferences will begin on or
about May 10 and continue between
two and three weeks.. Meetings will
be held in ten or more centrally locat¬
ed places. Two days will be given to
each meeting. A team ot able speak¬
ers will travel from place to place to
present the anus and purposes of this
Movement as it applies directly to
Georgia.
The ten towns and cities at iVhich it
has been definitely decided to hold
these conferences are Rome, Carters
ville, Cedartown, Newnan, LaGrange,
Griffin, Covington, Washington, Win¬
der and Gainesville. The dates for
each town are to be announced later.
This series of conferences was au¬
thorized by the Advisory committee of
Georgia of the Interchurch World
Movement, at the April meeting of
that committee held the past week.
Theh preparations for the conferences
are directly in the hands ot the execu¬
tive committee of ihe advisory com
miltee composed of Dr. E. E. Demp¬
sey of Athens, chairman, representing
the M. E. Church, South; Dr. L.
O. Brtcker, of Atlanta, chairman ol
the advisory committee, and repre¬
senting the Christian Church; Dr. D.
W. Brannen ot Milledgeville, state
secretary of the interchurch World
Movement; Mrs. Archibald Davis, of
Atlanta, a leader of Southern Preby
terian women. Dr. M. Ashby Jones, of
the Pone de Leon Ave. Baptist
a member of the advisory committee;
C. A. Titus of Atlanta, a
Episcopal layman and Dr. R. H. Single¬
ton of Atlanta, representing the Afri¬
can Meuioaisi Episcopal and the oth¬
er colored denominations.
The conferences will bring together
from two to three hundred ministers,
laymen and women from the territory
of which each meeting place is the
center, embracnig from one to half a
dozen counties in each instance. The
speakers, all of whom will be well
known leaders in tbeir respective de
nominations, will present world condi¬
tions as faced by the churches in
Georgia and the South, touching most
every phase of religious activity from
the foreign mission field down to the
rural community right here at home.
These conferences will be just as
complete m the detailed presentation
of startling religions, social, educa¬
tional and other facts and figures as
were presented last month at the
state pastors’ conference held in At¬
lanta.
There will be five or more speak
ei-s on the team. Some of the speak¬
ers will appear at every conference
while some, who will not be able to
give time to the entire series, will be
relieved here and there by others just
as capable. One speaker o ntacli pro
grain will be a woman to discuss the
interchurch Movement from the wo¬
man’s viewpoint. There probably will
be a representative of the United
States Public Health Service to dis
cuss social hygiene and public health,
and of the State Board of Charities.
tion.
The League of Natioos is a Wilson and not an
issue of either the Democratic or Republican
parties. No party convention has been held for
the purpose of committing either party for or
against ratification wdth or without reservations
or absolute rejection. A majority of Democratic
and Republican Senators have gone on record as
being opposed to its ratification without reserva¬
tions, but the necessary constitutional majority of
two-thirds was lacking.
Good people, are you for Hoke Smith and De¬
mocracy or A. Mitchell Palmer and Wilsonism?
Are you for American ideals or British suprem¬
acy?
Are you for or against America’s present exalt¬
ed position among the nations of the world?
Are you for or against the blood bought privil¬
eges that you have been enjoying for a life-time?
If you are for the blessings enumerated, vote
for Hoke Smith.
If you are against the form of government
established by George Washington. TVhomas Jef¬
ferson and a thousand other famous statesmen
whose names illuminate the pages of history, vote
for A. Mitchell Palmer. Unto the voters is the
privilege of chosing whom shall be their servant
and may they evercise the same judgment in ar¬
riving at a decision that they do in adjusting mat¬
ter of commercial importance.
