fjpo 1 My hay* Fallow authorised Democrat* ot Georgia:
the use of my name in the preferential primary for president April 80. Tht*
aetiun wm taken in response to the uigeu request of Democrats in e,ery part of Georgia and after
•arefui consideration on my part.
Th* most vital question before the Democratic party today and om that will affect Its fortune* for
Mty years I* what attitude shall the national convention take with r< gard to tile League of Nation*.
Unless I enter the Georgia primary, 1 am assured that the voters of this state will be limited in
their choice on this great question to two candidates. One of the*-) represent* the extreme view
th*t the league should have been ratified without any reservations and should have been rejected If sub¬
stantial reservations were insisted upon. The other candidate represenis the equaly extreme view that
th* snUr* treaty should have been rejected with or without reservation*.
I do not believe either view represents the public sentiment of our state. I am convinced either
Would be Injurious to our country. 1 do not believe the Democratic party, if committed at San Fran¬
cisco to either view, could hope to return to power at this election, or at any time within a genera¬
tion.
Tbc great question to come before the San Francisco convention is, shall the Democratic psrty
commit itself to a national campaign on the proposition that the League of Nations should have been
ratujod without the dotting on an "i" or the crossing of a “t.” I am unalterably opposed to its taking
such a position. For reasons that I will discuss fully before the people of the state, the treaty, with
out substantial reservations, was so inconsistent with American interests, Ainercian Institutions and
American ideals that it could not and should not be forced upon an unwilling country. With proper res
srvaUons, substantially those that the senate adopted on vital poiuts, the league could hav* been a
great instrument for good and should have been accepted.
Th* wise course for the Democratic party is to base its campaign on th* great achievements of
the Democratic administration and the Democratic congress, and not to blindly intfcrs* “svsry phase”
*# the administration’s record.
On this principle 1 announce my candidacy. Georgia is the first state to act in primary
s on
this subject. Its action will largely influence the action of other slates. Indeed, its position Is such
that it may be the controlling factor. Regardless of any question of my personal politics and regard¬
less of any effect it may have on my personal fortunes, 1 would he derelict in my duty if I failed to
make a fight for these principles in the coming primary.
I would infinitely prefer to make the fight without myself becoming a candidate, and it only
when was
It became apparent Uiat the issue would not be presented in any other way that 1 consented to
Mtsr my name.
Democrats from ah over Georgia tell me that the present situation prevents s real expression of
public opinion and practcally disfranchises thousands of vote
Th# issue is one of principle and of principle alone, if the position 1 support meets with the
giwval of the April sp¬
voters on 20—and I am convinced that it does represent the views of the over*
whelming majority of Democrats—the delegation to San Francieco, from this state, will be one com
mitted to this view.
I would greatly appreciate the indorsement of my state and would not seek toehold the delegation
pledged to me should a situation develop which, in their opinion, made it advisable for them to vote
tor someone else. I would, in that event, release them from any obligation to me and enable them
to freely choose in connection with other delegates that candidate who was considered most available
on the principles announced and who most truly represented the fundamental doctrines on which the
Democratic party has rested since its foundation.
Iwouid, in no sense, seek or wish to control their choice.
It is my purpose to spend as much time as possible in the state and to discuss the issues in nil
parts of Georgia, so far as time permits. I regard the matter that I hawe presented as of such over
Shadowing importance that I deem it unnecessary at present to discus* any other questions. Should
•noh other question* arise from time to time, they can then he considered.

Perhaps you’ve been ’ll this win¬

and you’ve worn yourself out with
extra burdens. And now your
strength is slow to return.
Week after week you’ve felt too
tired for anything, and have looked'

enthusiasm.
When you don’t feel well you are I
not well. Probably what you need
right now is the good blood tonic,
Pepto-Mangan, Physicians every¬
where recommend Pepto-Mangan
for run-down, anendc people. Ask
your doctor about it. Pepto-mangan
supplies the things that blood-starved
people lack. It puts iron and vigor
in the blood. It paints cne cheeks in
Nature’s way, and restores the hearty
appetite. sluggish in j
The blood i* naturally j
the Spring and the whole family
would profit by taking Pepto-Mangan
which tones up and builds up. It is
pleasant-tasting and soon makes you
feel better. Your own druggist has
it ready for your call, and in both
liquid and tablet form, just as you
prefer.
But to be certain that you get the
genuine Pepto-Mangan, ask for it by
the full name, “Gude’s Pepto-Man
gan." Look for the name “Glide’s”
on the package.—Advertisement,
