WAYCKOSS. OA.. JULY 4, 1902. ,
MR HOWELL EASED DOWfJ
In hit* fight for a local option
plank in thf*Htat« platfoytn’the
Hon. Clark Ilowoil discovered
some time prior to the convention
that he would fail in hifc efforts.
It wan hia purpoHH'to force the
party ton -trnight. opt declaration
against state prohibition and to
incorporate in the platform
plank unqualifiedly declaring for
local option.
He claimed through bis paper
that this was what the primary
meant in its defeat of Mr. Guerry
aud that a majority of the white
people of Georgia were of hie way
of thinking and therefore, state
prohibition should he renounced
once for all.
It in gratfying that the dele
gates assembled to mark out a pol-
-U icy for the parly did not, agree
with Mr. Howell.
However, Mr. IL>w«ll did not
propose* to allow bis defeat to ap
pear too decided and, seeing it
staring him in the face, be con
cluded to modify bis demands.
At the suggestion of bis erst
while enemy,the Macon Telegraph,
lie compromised on the following
mild declaration which the con
vention adopted and which means
as nearly nothing as anv statement
■*——^tlmtcould have been incorporated:
I ‘‘We do not believe tin* cause of

The mantle/of Judge He.met
could have fallen on no one, per
haps, whom/it will better fit and
who will \/o more acceptable to
the people nf the Hrunswick cir
cuit than Judge Willis Dart
Jud<(» Dart »* essentially a ju
rist whd nature is far better
fittfwl for that roll than than as a
pidfit.iean.
/In the first place, bis character
: is pure and spotless: he is a clean
man of the finest sensibility, and
dirt of any sort is abborivnt to
bis nature.
Then, lie is a careful, painstak
ing lawyer who is accurate in de
tail and comprehensive in judge
ment, aud withal, lie is endowed
with good, practical sense.
His home life and experience
have been that of the masses and
he knows things not found in
books. Judge Dart is a treasure,
and bis record on the circuit will
be one of the best.
Today is the 12fit.h anniversary
of American freedom.
Hot? No. Think of Green
land's icy mountains and her gla

Tim convention developed ID I
votes for Terrell, so for Kstill and
70 for Guerry. It will be seen
that Mr. Terrell bud only IK votes
to spare.
It is just as easy »t.o think of
cold as it is to think of beat, yet
we have no word of censure for
those who desire to become famil
iar wit h conditions they, perchance
may inherit.
We extern! a cordial invitation
to both Judge Willis Dart and
Judge Parker to make Wayeross
their home during their terms of
ollice and as long thereafter as
they desire. Wayeross is the log
ical home of the judge of the
Hrunswick circuit.

q^s meaningless as this r*»golu-
„.o u»ay be however, Mr. Howell,
with the liquor sympathizers, will
take comfort iu it, and in future
campaigns involving the prohibi

quote this assinine declaration as
the party’s unqualified endorse
ment of local option ns opposed to
