BY THEODOBE TILLER WASHINGTON, April 6. —Deflec- tion of Senator Morris Sheppard, 'of Texas, and possibly one or more other “drys,” wjll in all probability cost Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, the minority leadership in the sen ate. It became known today that Senator Sheppard has finally made up his mind that he cannot support Senator Hitchcok because of the lat ter’s advocacy of amendments to the prohibition law permitting the manu facture and use of light wines ano beer. Senator Sheppard voted for Sena tor Hitchcock in tfte Democratic caucus which resulted in a tie be twen Senator Underwood and Sena tor Hitchcock. However, it is un derstood that Senator Sheppard while deserting Hitchcock is unwilling to transfer his allegiance to Senator Underwood, because he regard? the Alabama senator as also having “wet” leanings. The Texts senator is looking about for a compromise candidate for whom he and possibly other radical drys in the senate may vote. Because of the Hitchcock-Underwood tie. Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, has teen suggested as a compromise, but Mr. Simmons says his health will not permit his accepting of the Demo cratic leadership if offered to him. Senator Trammell, of Florida, is reported to be another Democrat about to leave Senator Hitchcock be cause cf his light wine and beer platform. Indications altogether are that Mr. Hitchcock will lose out at the next caucus, whether a com promise candidate is put forward or whether Senator Underwood and him self run the contest through. Senator Hitchcock will leave next -week for Nebraska and will spend several days there in the Interest of his candidacy as a delegate to the San Francisco convention. On his return to Washington he expects to call a second Democratic caucus to settle the minority leadership. The Nebraska senator is aware that- he MOTHERS One Teaspoonful From a Free Trial Bottle Convinces You Give this fine laxative |j j!

BRAND SHOES POLITICIANS ARE WONDERING WHAT SUFFRAGE MEANS WASHINGTON. April 6.—Bal lots cast by women in the coming presidential election will fall short of the potential men’s ote by over 2,500,000, provided the suffrage amendment is ratified and state reg istration laws enacted in time to per mit all women all over the country to participate, accot*ding to estimates by the National Woman’s party. With the 1910 census as a basis, the woman's party estimates ■ the number of men eligible to vote at 29,577,690, and the possible woman voters at 26,883,566. In 1916, how ever, the actual vote cast for all va rious presidential candidates was 18.- 528,743, omitting ballots thrown out for cause, which leaves over 11,000.- 000 possible otes unregistered. If as large a proportion of the men voters remain indifferent ino the coming election, women political leaders here say that the eagerness of wom en to exercise their newly acquired privilege may more than offset the disparity in numbers between the sexes. In five of the states, rnoreover, womenof voting age .outnumber the men. Massachusetts has the great est preponderance of women “vot ers” more women than wen, NzTrth Carolina is next with a women’s majority of 15,288 and South Carolina with 10,307 is third. In Rhode Island women of voting age outnumber the men by 3,186 and in Maryland by 1,292. stands to lose one or more votes be cause of his attitude on the prohibi tion question, but he had frankly an nounced his views in telegrams to Nebraska Democrats. Senator Hitchcock said recently that he approves of prohibition and the abolition of the saloon, but he also believed the people had a right, and should exercise it, to amend the prohibition law so that light wines and beer may be manufactured in the United States. well’s Syrup Pepsin is a combi nation of simple laxative herbs with pepsin. Among its impor tant ingredients is true Egyptian Senna, which every physician knows is especially suited to con stipation in women, children and old folks because of its sure yet mild action on the stomach and bowels and its freedom from griping and pain. I originally prescribed Syrup Pepsin in 1875. It has been regularly sold by druggists stnee 1892, and last year the American people bought over 7 million bottles at drug stores. That should be proof enough of its wonderful merit in constipa tion and similar ills. Buy a bottle of your druggist, as millions do who .already convinced, but if you would rather try it first fill out tho coupon below and send it to me. I will see that a free trial bottle comes to you all charges prepaid. Abuse of Senator Smith H 7 ill Not Help Palmer, Declare Georgia Editors ABUSE WILL NEVER HELP AM ER ICU S TIM ES- RECO RDER - It is deplorable that the Georgia campaign, as respects the presiden tial preference primary of April 20, has degenerated in some quar ters to a campaign of mud-slinging, villification and abuse of a personal nature. Which is about as certain to result in good for the people of Georgia as is an appeal to a Chi nese idol to swat the, boll weevil. So much of heated passion is be ing dragged into the campaign that the people are becoming bewildered and befuddled, and are having less and less chance to understand the real issues involved. Passion and prejudice never aided in clear, level headed thinking, and this is a time when the problems of ot\r country demand clear thinking to the limit of the ability of every voter. This being the case, Senator Hoke Smith should be given not only a courteous hearing, but as /general a hearing as possible. when he • speaks in Americus on Wednesday of this week, and, likewise. Attor ney General Palmer, if arrange ments are completed for his ex pected visit here, should be given a respectful and conscientious hear ing. These leaders in the contest for the Democratic presidential preference in Georgia hold views somewhat divergent, and unless the voters know in what respects they differ, unless they analyze the po sitions of each thoroughly and hon estly with themselves, they will be dependent for their views in a large measure upon the prejudiced utterances of partisan commentators which are found in one or the oth er camps in many parts of the state. WATSON—PALMER—HOKE SMITH AUGUSTA HERALD: With the withdrawal of the name of Presi dent Wilson from the presidential primary, the race in Georgia lies be tween Watson, Palmer and Hoke Smith. It is conceded that the is ues involved are principles rather than any serious effort on the part of any of the candidates for election to the office of president of the Unit ed States. In fact it is immaterial which of these candidates carries the Georgia primary so far as it will have any effect upon their chances either to secure the Democratic nomination or to be elected by the people of this country in the national election. Georgia being a solidly Democrat ic state on one hand and Pennsylva nia, the home of Attorney General Palmer, being equally solidly Repub lican, none of these candidates offer any hope to carry doubtful and needed states in the national elec tion. This fact is so well recognized in national party politics that it is useless to argue it from a practical standpoint. On the other hand, the principles involved in the candidacies of Thom as E. Watson, A- Mitchell Palmer and Hoke Smith are nation-wide—they are the same principles that will be fought out and decided in every state of the union by the various elements that compose the Demo cratic party. These principles must eventually be decided upon in tne national Democratic convention when it assembles at San Francisco. The Herald believes that a ma jority of the American people, as well as a majority of the voters of Georgia are in favor of reservations for the League of Nations that will bring out strongly the American view and preserve American traditions. We believe that this sentiment will prevail in the Georgia primary, just as it will prevail in the Democratic national convention when it declares the will of the party on this subject in San Francisco. And the way for Georgia to make its voice heard and effective in the councils of the national -convention is to send to the convention dele gates who will represent a majority of the voters of the state. It is to be hoped that Senator Hpke .Smith will speak in. Augusta before the date of the primary and that .Jhe-» voters of this section of the may have an opportunity to hear nis views on the peace treaty and League of Nations. Smith In the Lead DUBLIN COURIER - HERALD: Senator Hoke Smith has quite a fol lowing hereabouts: Watson has nu merous friends here and probably some could be found that see the salvation of the country in Mr. Palmer, but of the three it is like ly, in fact very likely, that Mr. Smith would emerge with a consid erable leaji. Os the three candidates, Hoke Smith and Palmer are unde niably presidential timber, for what ever there may be said against them, they are big- men in the political arena, with quite a political record, of which the Georgia senator’s is probably the longest and most ac tive. Then, whatever other argu ment may be brought to bear, we are undeniably confronted with the fact that of the three two represent the extreme ground of being absolutely for and against the League of Na tions, while the third represents what is held to be a middle course,* The Only Issue SYLVANIA TELEPHONE: The newspapers that are supporting At- Wirney General Mitchell Palmer for president should not hope to obscure the issue that is before the people of Georgia by attacks upon Senator Hoke Smith. This tljey-are doing, most of them, seeming to think that if they can find flaws in the senator’s record, then they have made out a good case for Mr. Palmer, and the League of Nations. Hut the people will not be fooled by this. There is one issue ip this campaign, and only one—the presi dent himself hath said it. and upon this it must be fought—the League of Nations as Mr. Wilson drafted it, without the change of a single word or punctuation, or the League of Na tions with the reservations that a large majority of th& senate wanted to pass. Senator Smith’s candidacy is a secondary matter, and if he had not gone on the ticket in this state thou sands of Georgians could not .have voted at all in the primary on ’April 20. So let us not lose sight of the main issue—it rises higher than the personality of any candidate, it is a fight for a principle, for the preser vation of the principles that were handed down to us by the founders of our government. Can’t Carry Own State MACON NEWS: Mitchell Palmer is bitterly opposed by the Democrats of his own state, which he cannot re motely hope to carry, and .yeQ he is making motions as if he expected to carry Georgia. Criticism vs. Censure THE ATHENS HERALD —Casting) a vote for Senator Smith in the presidential preferential primary, April 20, can no more be construed as a repudiation of the Wilson ad ministration than were the recent editorial criticisms of the president’s abrupt dismissal of Secretary Lan sing by some of the very newspapers who are now berating the senior senator for taking the stand that the administration has done some things which would be for the Democrats to indorse. There is a vast difference between censure and criticism. To censure means the finding of some faults, real or supposed; it refers mostly to the conduct of individuals. Criti cism is altogether argumentative; it takes nothing for granted, it ana lyzes and decomposes, it compares and combines, it asserts and sup ports the assertions. Certain politi cal opponents of Senator Hoke Smith who are now casting slurs upon him for criticizing the League of Nations in an argumentative man ner because they claim he is embar rassing President Wilson and Democratic party are guilty of cen suring the president for having dis missed the recent secretary of sta f e —apd the office of the critic is ac knowledgedly more honorable than that of the censurer. Senator Smith declares that he fa vors indorsing most of the accom plishments of the Democratic admin istration, but that some acts have been committed which in his opin- Plffl KKES OPENING SPEECH . IN JAMESVILLE BY ED H. ERADLEY (Staff Correspondent of The Journal) GAINESVILLE, Ga„ April Speaking to aii audience of Hall county citizens, Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer today opened his campaign in Georgia for the Demo cratic presidential nomination. De spite the weather, which was not par ticularly! conducive to outdoor ora tory, Mr. Palmer elected to make his address in the plaza in front of the courthouse frdm a gaily decorated platform erected for the purpose by the Hall county committee in charge of the Palmer campaign. The attorney general devoted most of his speech to an attack on the mo tives impelling Senator Hoke Smith to enter the preferential primary April 20. He attacked him on the ground that the senior senator from Georgia is and has been moved by a desire to embarrass the Wilson ad ministration and that he is now play ing hand in glove with those who would discredit the administration in the eyes of the American people. Mr. Palmer let it be plainly under stood that 114 puts Senator Smith in the category of me “bitter enders” who are against the League of Na tions. He characterized him as a member of a “two-faced” faction in the United States senate, who, he, said, claimed to be in favor of the. league, but at the same time aid their best to slab it in the back with nul lifying reservations. He questioned Senator Smith’s sincerity in becoming a candidate for the presidency in the Georgia primary and charged that the senator’s campaign was a part of a general program put on in all sec tions of the country by the enemies of the administration to control tlie San Francisco convention and re verse the policies inaugurated by the Democratic party during the past seven years. Later on in his speech, the attor ney general turned his attention to the constructive legislation enacted during the Wilson administration and gave a comprehensive description Os the various phases of activity car ried on undir the direction and sup ervision of the Democratic party. The Crowd Mr. Palmer had a good crowd. Not all of them were his supporters and, in fact, a good percentage of his au ditors were dyed-in-the-wool Hoke Smith men. There was a sprinkling of Watson adherents in the crowd, too. The meeting had been well ad vertised by the Palmer campaign committee, headed by H. H. Dean and Edgar B. Dunlap. The wet weather that has prevailed for the past sev eral days made it impossible for the farmers to work in the fields, and many of them made it a sort of holi day to spend the day in town and satisfy their appetite for political oratory. In the course of his remarks, Mr. Dunlap emphasized the fact that Mr. Palmer stands for the indorsement of “every phase” of the Wilson ad ministration and that he “indorses the League of Nations without res ervations of any kind.” Mr. Dunlap impressed this upon his audience with much fervor. It developed this morning that •Messrs. Dean and Dtinlap on Monday circulated a petition among the pro prietors of business establishments asking them to close up shop during Mr. Palmer's speech. Some of the business men agreed, but more than thirty of them declined to sign the petition. :’ The presidents of Brenau college and Riverside academy were also urged to dismiss their students so that they might attend the meeting and, in accordance with the wishes of Mr. Dean, this was done, so that the audience which greeted Mr. Pal mer contained'many young men and women from these institutions. The school teachers of Hall county gath ered here today for their regular conference, consequently the schools enjoyed a holiday. Georgia Fruit Crop Is Apparently Safe as Cold Wave Vanishes It apepars that the Georgia peach crop is safe again. The report from the weather bu reau Tuesday morning was encour aging. “The temperature reached only down to 32 degrees,” said C. F. von Herrmann. “It was about the same aS Monday morning at 10 o’clock. Os course this temperature is a bit warmer than it was right at the I ground level, where there was ice in Atlanta and plenty of frost. Reports of frost were turned in by Jackson ville. -Savannah, Macon and Augusta, the last two reporting heavy frost. But it did not get as cold as we feared, and I am inclined to believe the peach crop is not damaged to any extent.” At the offices of the Georgia Fruit Exchange, this view was shared by E. W. Williams, chief clerk, based on scattering returns just beginning to trickle in from the peach belt. “Nothing like complete reports yet,” he said, “but I think the tem peratures were not severe enough to do any great amount of harm.” The weather man said prospects were now for fair and warmer weather; about 40, degrees Wednes day morning, and continuing to mod erate during the day. Gasoline as Necessary As Horse Food, Ruling HUNTINGTON, W. Va., April 6. Gasoline is as necessary for an au tomobile as feed for a horse, ruled Magistrate Samuel Wright in dis charging two Huntington garage owners who were charged with hav ing violated the “Sunday closing law. 1 ’ TJie defendants were arrested Sun day on orders of Mayor C. W. Camp bell, who charged that they had sold gasoline to autoists in violation of the “bl|»e law.” i ion do inot deserve the sanction of the party, and for that certain news papers in the state who occupied the office of censurer when the president dismissed Lansing, an act of the ad ministration, are now villifying the senior senator. The dismissal of Lansing was an act of the administration. Certain newspapers jumped on the president with both feet and scored him heav ily because he committed the act. Can those newspapers face about now and eclare that every act of the administration should be indorsed? If they can consistently do so, then they can consistently and conscien tiously chide / Senator Smith because he refuses to indorse every act of the administration. If they cannot, if they do not feel that they can condone that and oth er acts of the president which have elicited no inconsiderable amount of scolding at the hands of these same organs, perhaps they will be more generous concerning the senior sena tor’s position, and if they will not grant him permission to censure the president (as they did) they will at least allow him the privilege of crit icizing the League of Nations docu ment (an office which is constitu tionally senatorial), without charg ing him with party treachery. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children in Use For Over 30 Years Always bears tne Signature of DEPLORES ABUSE IN THE PRESENT STATE PRIMARY Editor Journal: What a pity it is that in the midst of political cam paigns we cannot discuss the issues dispassionately and unprejudiced. The coming elections this year are for the purpose of. conserving the public welfare and not for the selfish aggrandizement of any one. or the appeasing .of malignant spleen and myopic vengeance. 'Personally • almost any man who announces for the presidency of the United States is invariably good enough to fill that office, but we should not be influenced mainly by our personal admiration for a candi date but mostly, for the things the candidate stands for. In all political contests the voter should think more of the country than of the candidate. There are five distinct reasons why I am going to vote for Hoke Smith in our preferential primary. First, he is a Georgian; second, he is a southern statesman; third, the Dem ocratic parts’ of the south plays the leading part in the election of a Democratic president; fourth, it is getting high time that the south was enjoying this imperative and right ful recognition; fifth, Hoke Smith is as great and as capable Democrat as is seeking that distinguished honor. I have no personal objections to A; Mitchell Palmer. I concede his good citizenship, his substantiability of character. I am opposed to him because of some of the things that he stands for, and because he cannot carry the section of country in which he resides and -because he c&nnot be elected president of the United States without the Democratic vote of the south, and If in the election of a Democratic president the south must furnish the votes, she ought not to be denied the privilege of furnishing the president. It seems to be the mission of cer tain so-called leaders to arouse the malice rather than the reason of the masses, because they know that malice blinds our mental visions and loses the voter while reason turns on the light, clarifies the situation and enables the voter to see clearly how to discharge his political duties. He who subordinates the welfare of the state to the interest of the candidate commits a political crime. There must be a stop to mud-sling ing, to aspersions, to billingsgate and calumniations. Candidates and their friends who indulge in such are unworthy of public support or public trust, for they will betray and misrepresent the people or the cause'they profess to serve. 1/p.m especially proud of the op portunity of voting for a fellow- Georgian, pre-eminently fitted to fill the high office of president. I hope no Georgian will permit the oppor tunity to pass by without helping to remove the foul blotch from the es cutcheon of this republic which has kept our southland from her legiti mate place and proud privilege in furnishing the country her quota of splendid presidential timber. Shamr on thp policy and belittling spirit, “all things being equal,” that would not. support her southern Democrat with the possibility of election, in stead of a northern Democrat with no hope of the nomination. We want to see national cam paigns removed from the quagmires of vilification and lifted above the dust of petty personalities and ne farious vituperations/ I believe Georgia will prove herself worthy of the opportunity that the 20th of May will bring to the voters.

COTTON INDUSTRY THREATENED BY PINK BOLL WORM WASHINGTON, April 6. —Reap- pearance of the pink boll worm in Texas and discovery of the insect in Louisiana present the most serious situation which has ever confronted the cotton industry of the United States, according to ex!pei-ts of the department of agriculture. Unless preventfcre measures be immediately taken, a review of the situation is sued today said, the boll worm will become a permanent and serious limiting factor in the production of cotton. The drastic quarantine now being enforced in Louisiana gives hope of an eradication of the pest in that section, the review said, but the “unfortunate result” of the resump tion of cotton growing in Texas dis tricts where the boll worm has be come entrenched threatens to undo the work of stamping out the de stroyer. “As a result of the failure of the state of Texas to carry out the pro gram of control which had been promised, if the insect ,should re appear,” the review stated, “a new and very serious the situa tion developed early in 1920. The one drawback to success now is the delay in Texas in establishing non cotton zones for the infected areas, a delay which already has resulted in the planting of considerable areas in cotton. Destruction of this cot ton later on, if authorized by the state, will simply mean that much greater cost.” The added the depart ment Mas urged from the beginning that in view of the sacrifies made by the planters of the invaded dis trict, in the Interests Os the state as a whole, steps shpuld be taken by the state to reimburse them for their net losses. “The strongest emphasis,” it said, “has been placed upon the fact that the extermination of the insect in Texas and Louisiana is absolutely Contingent on the prohibition of the growth of cotton in infected areas. The growth of cotton under restric tion or other methods of control will simply mean the perhaps slower, but no less certain, ultimate spread of the pest.~ Something home than a century ago paper was so dear in England that butchers used to give their cus tomers the meat wrapped up in a large vegetable leaf.
