VOL. XXII. NO. 51. KAPP WILL RESIGN, OFFICIAL STATEMENT SAYS DEMOCRATS BALK AT BAND-PICKING BYSUBCOMNIinEE State Senatob Claude C. Pittman Won't Vote in Primary if He Can't Vote for- Hoover BY ROGERS WINTER (Staff Correspondent of The Joui-nal) CARTERSVILLE, Ga., March 17, That the subcommittee on rules of the Democratic state executive com mittee, selected a dangerous time to hand-pick candidates in a Democratic primary becomes increasingly evi dent to one who has traveled the state from the mountains to the sea and made observations in a number of the leading Democratic communi ties. Many upheavals were caused by the war, and not the least extensive and significant among them is a breaking away of the old political crust. Georgia Democrats are say ing outright that they are going to vote an independent ticket this year if they are given a deal from the same old deck of cards manipu lated by the same old machine poli ticians who have always done the dealing. And this growing spirit of impatience with politics and poll-, ticians has not been assuaged by the subcommittee’s high-handed attempt to enforce upon Ge.orgia Democrats the proposition that they shall not be allowed to vote in their primary for their choice of a standard bearer. State Senator Claude C. Pittman, who is a prominent Cartersville law yer and whose district embraces the counties of Bartow, Chattooga and Floyd, said to The Journal corre spondent: “I consider myself as loyal to the Democratic party p.s any member of the subcommittee'. I consider my self capable of exercising a sound political judgment in a party pri mary. I would vote for Hoover in the presidential primary if the sub committee would let me vote as I want to vote.-But if they don’t con cede me that privilege, then I am not going to vote at all, and will re serve the right to vote as I please in the presidential election. I have heretofore belonged to that element o- faction of the party in Georgia whose leaders are supposed to be re sponsible for the subcommittee’s ac tion in shutting Hoover out of the primary, but I cannot travel with then* on this proposition.” Patience Exhausted Senator Pittman is neither a bolt er nor a Republican, nor a Socialist. He is simply a Democrat whose pa tience has been utterly exhausted by politics and politicians, and the action of the subcommittee in at tempting to hand-pick the candidates in Georgia’s preferential primary was the final straw. He is not alone in his feeling that party whose ot ficers would be guilty of such abuse of power cannot enforce upon him a claim for continued loyalty and sup port. There are many others like him all over Georgia. What the subcommittee undoubt edly intended was to eliminate Hoover from the presidential pri mary. That is to say, to put him out of reach of those untrustworthy Democrats who must not be allowed to get hold of him for fear, it must be supposed, that they would do. themselves or their party political harm -by voting for him. But if the subcommittee had been schem ing to pile up a big independent vote in Georgia—a thing that admittedly would be harmful to the whole Dem ocratic organization—they could not , Lave picked a better method. Demo crats in Georgia, good, loyal Demo crats, who have supported constitut ed party authority and stood by the Democratic administration and been loyal to their government during the war, are not in any favorable mood to be tampered with by such politi cal trickery. Oscar T. Peeples, one of the most prominent business men of Carters ville, expressed the feeding when he declared in an editorial in the Tri bune-News, of which he is president and associate editor ■with Milton Fleetwood, that ‘‘we respect our con stituted party authority as long as that authority is justly and properly exercised., but when it is not, then that authority becomes a thing de serving of our conter-pt.” s “Obey, Though Mistreated” Yet his sdnse of regularity, of loy alty to the organization, is still so strong in spite of his resentment, that he admits he will “bow his head in obedience” to the sub committee’s ruling. In other words, he will obey the subcommittee, al though he feels that they haye gross ly mistreated him. His feeling is that the Democrat c party ought to nominate a man who can be elected, and he does not ' Sieve either Palmer or McAdoo has a ghost of a showing. He does not believe even President Wilson could be elected to a third term. He says he"would not vote for him third term. His opinion is that Hoover’s ret vice to the Democratic adminis tration and to humanity, that his rec ord of achevement as an orphan boy who fought his way up to success and fame, that his public utterances cn the’ dominant questions of tr.e •day, constitute in the last analysis the very essence’ of democracy, spell cd with a small “d.” He feels that i,_ is an insult to- his intelligence to be told lZ- the subcommittee that Hoover "X: not a De—’O'-rat," and to have a lot of other meaningless for mulas bandied around among politic ians. He believes Hoover could win for the party, and that the best par f y service, the most disinterested serv ice, that can be rendered now, is to nominate a man who rises abov.- partisanship and meets, the great American demand for Americanism. Finally, he regards Hoover as one of the ablest business men in the world, and his opinion is that the United States government nee:ls a business man as it has never needed one before.

LIVE STOCK STATE ATHENS, Ga., March 17.—That Georgia is rapidly forging to the front as a live stock state is indi cated by the last monthly report of the American Jersey Cattle club ap pearing in the Jersey the official breed publication. Each month there appears a complete list es all cows on official test throughout the United States producing fifty pounds or more of butter fat per month. The animal husbandry division of the Georgia State College of Agriculture supervises these official tests in the state of Georgia. The accompanying table shows the number of cows, the number of. breeders and the average production for all of the southern states having cows qualifying for this select list: Aver. Fat State. Cows. Breeders. Produced. Georgia 9 4 60.31 Texas 8 2 57.42 ■Kentucky ... 2 1 52.23 Tennessee ... 2 2 51.91 Virginia .... 2 2 50.76 Louisiana ... 11 53.23 Florida 11 52.62 Arkansas ... 11 51.29 In all of the southern states Geor gia ranks first with 9 cows in the 50-pound list. Texas, her nearest competitor, has 8. The three next states had 2 cows each qualifying for the list, and the three remaining states in the list only had 1 cow each. It is also gratifying to know that four different breeders in the state own cows that made above 50 pounds of butter in the month, •whereas, not more than two breeders from any other state had cows yield ing such high production. It is also worthy of note that the nine high testing cows in Georgia averaged 60.31 pounds of butter fat per cow. This would be an equivalent of 70.95 pounds of butter per cow in thirty days. In this same list J. R. Hum phrey, of Acworth, Ga., had the dis tinction of owning the highest pro ducing cow in the United States on official test for the thirty-day period in the class of cows 3% to 4 years of age. It\ is well to remember in this connection that at the recent international live stock exhibits E. E. Mack & Sons, of Thomasville, Ga., had the grand champion Hereford bull and Peacock & Hodge, of Coch ran, Ga., had the grand champion Duroc-Jersey boar. These unprece dented triumphs of Georgia stock men indicate the possibilities within the state. With these marvelous accomplish ments, it is not surprising that the 400 owners of registered Jersey cat tle in Georgia have decided to hold a meeting in Atlanta March 22 for the purpose of organizing a state Jersey Cattle Breeders’ association. Are Clothiers Profiteering? “No,” says Mr. James D. Bell, head of one of the largest tailoring con cerns of America. “Most of the deal ers are sincerely anxious to reduce the present high costs and are sell ing as low as they can under exist ing conditions. The fault lies in the present system of distribution which requires many unnecessary expenses and unnecessary profits which in crease the cost but add nothing to the value of the clothes. By dealing di rect with the manufacturers a large saving can be made. For instance: the Bell Tailors, corner Adams at Green Streets, Chicago, Illinois, man ufacturers of made-to-measure cloth ing, offer a three-piece, guaranteed all wool suit for only $25.00, the equal of which cannot possibly be sold at retail, allowing even a small profit for less than $37.50 or $40.00.” This company offers proportionate savings on their complete line, including their fine Australian all wool F'renchback serge, the most serviceable and high grade fabric made. Readers of this paper interested in buying the high est grade clothing at the lowest pos sible price should write the Bell Tailors, Adams at Green Streets, Chi cago, Illinois, and ask for a'free copy of their big new Spring and Summer Fashion Book No. 760, containing sim ple charts for taking measurements, handsome illustrations of all the lat est New York and Chicago styles and a large assortment of cloth samples in many beautiful colors, patterns and weaves.

SIMS SAYS UNITY WITH ALLIES WAS SOUGHT IN 1917 WASHINGTON, March 17.—Unity j of command of the allied and Amer- ! lean naval forces overseas similar . to that which afterwards obtained on the western front was recom- , mended by him to tha navy depart- i ment as early as July, 1917, but'was not approved, Rear Admiral Sims to day told the senate committee in vestigating the navy’s conduct of the war. The admiral said that efforts to; direct a large force of American ships and men by cable and letter from a point 3,000 miles away, gave too many opportunities for misunder-; standings of messages and for their; interception by the. enemy. “The enemy secret- service proved; itself t obe xtraordinarily efficient,” ; he said. Staff Inadequate Nearing end of his long sttatement; Rear Admiral Sims elaborated his i charges that the inadequacy of his; staff abroad prevented for several months maximum efficiency in the United States naval participation in the war. He testified that he was. unable to bring the navy depart-: ment to a realization of the import ance of his. post and the necessity tor providing a large staff at the■ outset’ to compile and digest allied j naval information and direct the; early details of American co-opera tion on the seas. Admiral Sims said he arrived in London in April 1917 with but one aide, and immediately, realizing, the magnitude of. task confronting him. cabled the 'department requesting j that three additional assistants b-? , sent him at once. Before he received j ed any reply, he was placed also in i Command of the destroyer force > abroad, and thereupon asked so; j three more officers including a | chief of staff, expecting that the re quest would be granted without I question. Bequests Disregarded The last of April one officer ar rived and was assigned to the di stroyer base at Queenstown, Admiral Sims said, but no word came from the department regarding his reiter ated requests for at least six as sistants. Throughout June he re mained in ignorance of the depart ment's plans and received no further aid, the officer said. An American civilian who had resigned from the nfivy in 1914 to enter in business ia London volunteered to assist him, the Admiral said, and this man with his sue aide comprised his entire Lon don staff. “My staff then <was wholly in adequate even to code and decode messages to and from the depart ment,” he commented, “much fess attempt to compile vitally necessary information.” In June a medical officer was or dered to his staff, the admiral said, and about the same time Secretary Daniels cabled him authority to em ploy clerical assistance and spend any sums needed for the discharge of his duties, but nothing was done regarding the officers he had asked sent to assist him in his technical duties. fn repeated messages, Admiral | Sims said he urgently recommended that a special officer- be detailed to the British admiralty to co-ordinate convoy plans, but never received an answer. Finally he detached the. cap tain from a destroyer and assigned l-im to his duty. In Small Quarters “We had reached the limit of phy& ! ical endurance,” Admiral Sims' said. “We were established in two small rooms at the embassy and di* patches were pouring in on us ev ery day. I only wish that I were capable of describing the conditions in my office at this time. On July 7 Captain N. C. Twining was detailed to be his chief of staff, the admiral said, and another officer I was sent to assist him. At this period, he said, continued differences with the department were demonstrating the need of closer liai son between his office and Washing ton, the admiral said, due to his in z on Page 8, Column 5) ATLANTA, GA., THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 1920. GREATEST IN WORLD 0? 132115 MHBESS Committee Report Would Provide Building Campaign Which Would Give 11 S. 47 Capital Ships WASHINGTON,' March 17.—Tike' United States by 1924 will have U r-w equal of any in the world Jf ths program outlined in 'the appro priation bill, formally reported to the house today, is carried out. Chair man Butler of the naval affairs coip mittee said. This is in spite of the lag reductions made in Secretary Daniels’ recommendations. Reports to the committee are that Great Britain is planning very little naval construction during the next few years, because of the heavy aft er-the-war burdens. Under the present program the United States in 1924 will have 4i fighting ships of the first and sec ond line, as compared wiUi sixty of Great Britain, Mr. Butler said. The difference in numbers wil Ibe' offset by the fact that most of the Amexfl can warships will be of the latest die sign and armament. The vessels of Great Britain will be older types. In addition to the big ships, the navy will than have 340 destroyers aid many auxiliary craft. “As an all-round 'fleet the United States navy vzill then be the equal if not the superior of any in the world,” Mr. Butler said. The house committee in the ap propriation bill allowed $104,000,000 for construction during the next fiscal year. This is 'to continue the building program of 1916 which the committee plans to complete by 1924.' It calls for .10 more battleships at ah estimated cost of $12,750,000 each, ir addition to six battle cruisers of. the latest type. The latter will haW a speed of 33 1-2 knots, an armament of 16-inch guns, a horsepower of 180- 000 and a displacement of 40,00$ tdns. FAIWERSUNITE TO FIGHT GAINS sytownlaegr CHICAGO, 11l. —A million Ameri can farmers have banded together to fight short hours and high wages of city labor. These farmers are members of the American Farm Bu reau federation, the national organ ization of which was perfected here recently. “We desire to point out that a large factor in the high cost of liv ing is the curtailment of production through short hours, lessened ef ficiency of labor and strikes,” the federation formally declared. Delegates insisted the high cost of living is due to the high cost of labor, and to the fact that “city labor no longer produces as much per man as it did before the war.” Farmers Blaine City Labor y “And yet,” as one speaker pointed out, “these same short-hour workers in cities are complaining loudest be cause food products are higher in price. Os course food is higher. It costs more for the farmer to grow food. It costs more because city labor ' has forced up farm labor wages, and has increased prices of everything the farmer buys. The American Farm bureau move ment began about three years ago, in Missouri. The originator planned a first-aid-to-farmers organization. It spread rapidly into practically all agricultural states. Today there are a million members. It’s Conservative Group It is the most conservative of all farm groups, and is bitterly opposed to such radical farm organizations as the Nonpartisan league. The na tional convention opposed “govern mental interference with the economic law upon which great industries are founded.” This was interpreted to mean that the federation is against such gov ernment regulation systems as is pro posed to curb the Big Fjve packers. The packers were well represented at the convention. The keynote speaker was Thomas E. Wilson, one of the “big five.” eaiWLiFAT 15 CENTS AMLLON New Invention Makes Fords Run 34 Miles on Gallon of Gasoline Other Cars Show Proportionate Sav ings . A new’ carburetor which cuts down tlie gasoline consumption of any mo tor, including the Ford, and reduces gasoline bills from one-third to one half, is the proud achievement of the Air Friction Carburetor Co., 213 Mad ison street, Dayton, Ohio. This re markable invention not only increases the power of all motors from 30 to 50 per cent, but enables every one to run slow on high gear. With it you can use the very cheapest grade of gasoline or half gasoline and half kerosene and still get more power and more mileage than you now get from the highest test gasoline. Many Ford owners say they how get as high aS' 45 50 miles a gallon of gasoline. So sure are the tnanu facturers of the immense saving their new carburetor will make that they offer* to send it on 30 days’ trial to every car wner. As it can be put on or'taken off in a few minutes by any one, all readers who want to try it should send their name, address and make of car to the manufacturer at once.

Would Cut Freight Rates on Coal in The Summer Months WASHINGTON, March 17.—'Sena tor Frelinghuysen, New Jersey, to day introduced a bill requiring rail roads to reduce freight rates on coal 15 per cent during the summer, as a means of stimulating coal buying in that period.
