The director of the Wall Street Journal is thus quoted: "There is a tremendous unanimity of sentiment on the street in favor of the United States lending all possi ble support to maintaining the world’s civilization. "There is not a word In financial circles in defense of Germany. Some very Intelligent people express their firm belief that the German Emperor has always been mentally affected. Unprintable expressions concerning the war lord and what should be done with him as a crazy person are heard In very intelligent and Intellectually informed financial quarters. "It is beginning to be apparent that It Is no more right for war lords to go tumbling around over the world with great armies and navies than it is for people to go through the main street of a city carrying pistols in their pockets and looking trouble." This exasperated cry from "big business" is responsively echoed among all classes of persons through out the world. Anti-war sentiment received a tremendous impetus during the past fortnight and before the marching millions In Europe have ceased their destruction of human life and of treasure there Is likely to be a world-wide popular Inclination toward enforcing universal peace and.

Applying the same test to Ida own candidacy he ahould be con vineed that the people certainly do not want Hardwick as he received only one-fourth of the popular vote.

COUNTY UNIT OR WHATf When the Democratic State Execu tive Committee met some time age and adopted the unit rule to protect the small counties of the 8tate against the large ones there was great row raised in Georgia by some of the rery candidates who are now looking to the unit rule to save them. Congressman Tom Hardwick wat loudest to make a protest, though It waa shown that hla political life was saved on one or two occasions by the unit rule—that rulo protecting the small counties of the Tenth district from the large vote of Richmond county. Most of the papers that sup ported Mr. Thomas Felder were up In arma against that rule. They thought waa simple "he-hlnnus." This shows where they would be If they hail ImiI lh*»lr nwn »■;» If these doctors want to take their own medicine—If they are willing tc be measured by their own yardstick It Is up to them now to leave the selection of the United States Senator to the popular vote, which they have contended was the only fair way to settle the matter. By the popular vote. Gov. Slaton would be the nominee, he having re ceived a plurality of about ten thou sand votes. He carries fifty-six coun ties and ran first or second In one hundred and thirty-one counties. Under the Georgia election law, drawn by *he late Senator Bacon. Gov. Slaton would now be elected If this were ran either flrat or second In one hun dred and thirty-one of the counties. Mr. Hardwick thinks the nomination should come to him because the pop ular vote received by him and Mr. Felder la greater than that received by Gov. Slaton, even If Mr. Hutchens' vote should ho added to that of tho Governor. He looks upon his and Felder’s vote as a protest of the ma jority of the voters against the effort of the Governor to abandon hla job as the state’s chief executive for a job in the United 8tatea Senate. And Mr Hardwick makes the extra ordinary claim that he la more pro- grealve than Gov. Slaton. In what re spect he la more progressive he doesn’t point out. Doubtless he Is wise In not doing ao.
