COMMITTEE FIXING
TO ‘‘RAISE H—L” IN
STATE, SAYS FLYNT
(Continued from Paye 1)
Hoke Smith carried the number of
counties herein below set forth, with
the number of convention votes set
opposite said counties, making a
total of 43 counties carried by Mr.
Smith, entitling him to 104 delegates
in the convention to be held May 18.
“It therefore appearing that Hon-
A. Mitchell Palmer, having a plurali
ty of the delegates to the presiden
tial convention, to-wit: 148 delegates,
he is, therefore, according to the
rules of the state Democratic
executive committee under which
said primary was held, entitled to
have the delegates to the national
Democratic convention to be held in
San Francisco, named by the said
presidential convention from among
his friends and supporters.
“Be it, therefore, resolved, That
the report be transmitted to the
presidential convention to be held
in Atlanta, May 18, 1920, as the re
sult of such presidential primary in
each county as the same appears

To Resist Injunction
Preparing to resist the permanent
injunction sought by Mr. Watson,
the subcommittee appointed three of
its members, Fermor Barrett, H. H.
Dean and J. H. Milner, to file an
answer before Judge Walker cover
ing the subcommittee’s position,
which is that its action on Tuesday
did not include the making of any
rule which altered the status of the
situation resulting from the primary
of April 20. They construed the In
junction to prohibit the making of
any new rule, whereas Mr. Black
burn, representing Mr. Watson, con
tended that any ruling made by the
subcommittee would constitute a vio
lation of the restraining order.
Both Mr. Watson and Senator
Hoke Smith, through their represen
tatives, refused to submit their con
tests to the subcommittee, after that
body refused to state whether it
would seek to make up the permanent
roll of the convention. These con
tests, which involve about a dozen
counties and about twenty-six unit
votes, will be presented to the con
vention itself for final settlement.
May Meet at Atlanta Theater
It developed during the meeting
that it will be impossible to hold the
convention in the auditorium for the
reason that the building has been
leased for Mav 18 for another pur
pose. It, therefore, becomes neces
sary to secure other quarters, as the
hall of the house of representatives
at the state capitol is too small to
accommodate the gathering. A com
mittee composed of J. R. Smith, Al
bert Howell and B. M. Blackburn
was appointed to secure a suitable
place for the convention and it was
indicated that the Atlanta theater
mav be selected.
The Democratic state executive
committee will meet in Atlanta on
May 17, the day before the conven
tion. according to announcement by
Chairman Flynt.
Albert Howell and Hollins Ran
dolph. Atlanta attorneys, were pres
ent at the meeting of the subcom
mittee to represent Attorney Gen
eral A. Mitchell Palmer in any con
tests affecting his interests.
SMITH AND WATSON CARRY
CONTESTS TO CONVENTION
Whether Thomas E. Watson’s in
junction did or did not prevent them
from hearing and deciding contests
growing out of the recent presiden
tial primary, and whether they had
authority to make a byiding decision
of these contests so as to control the
action of the state convention to be
held May 18, were the two main ques
tions that confronted the sub-commit
tee on rules of the Democratic state
executive committee when they met
Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock in the
ballroom of the Kimball House in this
city.
On the first question, they decided
that the language of Mr. Watson’s in-

junction was such as to allow them
to hear and decide contests without
violating the order of Judge B. F.
Walker, of Warrenton, who issued the
injunction. They were persuaded to
this view by Colonel H. H. Dean, of
Gainesville, who argued that the in
junction merely prevented them from
“making any rule which would con
trol the convention,” whereas they
did not propose to make any rule but
simply to apply the rules previously
made by the state executive commit
tee.
On the second question, although
they took no vote on a clear-cut ques
tion as to the extent of their author
ity, it was plain that they considered
themselves authorized to hear and de
cide contests. They based their stand
upon a section of the state commit
tee’s rules for the presidential pri
mary which provides that the sub
committee shall consolidate the re
turns and declare the result. They
argued that it was necessary to hear
and decide the contests, if any, be
fore they could declare the result.
When they made plain their attitude
on this point, the contests of Senator
Smith and Thomas E. Watson were
withdrawn from their consideration,
with notice that the same would be
taken to the convention.
Court Hearing May 14
Senator Smith arrived in Atlanta
Monday afternoon from Washington
and will stay here until after the
convention to be held May 18. He will
confer at once with his friends and
decide on a course of action to be
followed in the convention. He is
expected to issue a statement in the
next day or two. It is understood he
will oppose Rule 10 as being beyond
the authority of the state committee,
since'it attempts to control the ac
tion of a convention by a minority of
the delegates composing the conven
tion. Under this rule the Palmer
leaders claim the right to send Pal
mer delegates to San Francisco. He
has a plurality of the state conven
tion delegates but not a majority.
Under the terms of Judge Wal
ker’s injunction issued Monday on
petition of Mr. Watson, the sub-com
mittee are required to show cause be
fore him in Warrenton on May 14
why the injunction should not be
made permanent. Now that the sub
committee have voted to proceed with
the hearing and decision of contests,
and have declared Mr. Palmer the
winner of the primary, it is consider
ed likely that Mr. Watson will ask
that they be held in contempt. The
entire sub-committee are summoned
to appear before Judge Walker on
Friday, the date for the hearing.
In the course of the discussion,
which lasted three hours, the sub
committee adopted a motion by Col
onel Dean directing the chairman,
Judge Flynt, to summon a meeting of
the full state executive committee
to be held in Atlanta on the morn
ing of May 17. Judge Flynt asked
the colonel to state the purpose of
the meeting. “To consider any mat
ters that may come up,” he replied,
some of the political speculation was
that the purpose might be to attempt
to call off the state convention and
have the executive committee elect
Palmer delegates and send them to
San Francisco with credentials issued
by the committee.
What Petition Alleges
The petition was presented to
Judge Walker by B. J. Stephens, at
torney for Mr. Watson. Its princi
pal recitations, together with the
order of the court, are as follows:
“That J. C. Evans is a member of
the Democratic executive commit
tee of the state of Georgia, and is a
resident of Warren county, and peti
tioner brings this, his petition,
against said J. C. Evans and against
all other members of the state Dem
ocratic executive committee, and the
petition shows that, on faith of the
law and of the nrincipl®; of law and
equity, he in good faith became a
candidate in the recent presidential
preferential primary, held April 2).
1920, and that he qualified himself
in the way prescribed by the com
mittee by filing with said commit
tee the requiste number of names
and by depositing in the Atlanta
National bank the sum of $5,000 to
the credit of the Hon. James J.
Flynt, chairman of said executive
committee, and in addition to this
sum deposited with the secretary of
the said committee S2OO.
“Petitioner further shows that
without the deposit of this money,
which caused the other candidates
to make similar deposits, said pri
mary could not have been held, for
the. reason that the committee had
no funds with which to hold it. con
sequently he alleges that he has a
financial interest in the result, as
well as a civil interest as a citizen
and as a candidate.
“Petitioner further sets out, by
allegation, that said committee has
stated in the daily press, in articles
signed by members of said commit
tee, that they do not intend to abide
by the law of the lg.nd, nor be guided
by principles of equity, but their
intentinon is, when they meet on
Tuesday, May 11, to usurp the func
tions of the’ Democratic state con
vention, which has been called to
meet by said committee on May 18.
“Petitioner further says said
committee has declared its intention
of passing on all contested counties,
so the convention on the 18th will
have no real functions to perform.
Further, that the state Democratic
executive committee made a rule
now known as ‘Rule No. 10,’ which
seeks to deprive .the sovereign con
vention of the people of Georgia of
its constitutional and historic
rights; this rule 10 not only violat
ing the general principles of Demo
cratic and Republican institutions,
to wit: that a majority of
legally qualified voters should gov
ern, but it seeks to establish usurpa
tory domination of an autocratic mi
nority.
Bule Ten
“Petitioner alleges that Rule 10
violates the very terms of the coun
ty unit law of 1917 in that the com
mittee is seeking to apply that law
to the highest office in the land, al
though the statute itself says the
county unit plurality shall not apply
to elections in offices so high as
that of governor nor as high as that
of senator. By every known rule of
construction the said executive com
mittee did an unlawful thing when
it declared that the said county unit
plurality should apply to the su
preme office of president.
“Petitioner presents to tha jourt
the legal view that the state com
mittee should have been guided n.y
the constitution of the United States
which declares that a president shall
be elected by a majority and not by
a minority. He submits further
that it would be possible under Rule
10 for designing politicians who bate
our system of government to elect
themselves by a minority vote jn
each state; that, under Rule 10, as
laid down by the committee, one
third of the registered voters could
establish a preferential rule in our
republic, thus absolutely revolution
izing our system and nullifying that
clause of the United States constitu
tion to every state in the union,
which clause guarantees to every
state a republican form of govern
ment.
“He respectfully submits that he
knew nothing of Rule 10 until after
said primary was over, and ho was
in no degree consenting to the same,
and he cannot be legally charged
with same, because it was never pub
lished in such away as to become
legal notice to any one. He alleges
said committee failed and refused to
publish such a notice in away that
would bring it home to a knowledge
of the people; and that it never be
came public until after the commit
tee had decided and declared that
the presidential nomination vote
should, be given to one Mitchell Pal
riier, a resident of Pennsylvania, and
a candidate in the aforesaid primary.
“He further alleges that if si id
committee on the 11th of May or
at any subsequent time shoull do
what it threatens to do, it will have
have committed irreparable injury on
your petitioner, who received nt said
primary a majority of the county
votes, and a majority of popular
votes, and who therefore under well
established democratic principles and
statutory enactment is more entitl’d
to the nomination than the said non
resident, A. Mitchell Pilnier.
“Petitioner shows that there is no
law by which he can prevent the
damage threatening by the defendant
committee in the case, and no law
by which he could recover damages
from the individuals composing the
said committee. He further shows
that he will be financally damaged to
the extent of at least $5,000 if said
committee is allowed to enforce Rule
10, which they call a law binding
upon the convention, and awarding
by committee action the presidential
nomination in advance of the conven
tion, something never before heard
of in the laws and history of the
' United States.

COTTON
NEW YORK, May 12.—There was some
selling on relatively easy cables and un
favorable reports fro mthe goods trade at
the opening of the cotton market today.
First prices were 15 points higher on May,
but generally 1 to 20 points lower, with
July selling off to 37.87 c and October to
35.38 c after the call. Four May notices
were reported in circulation, and after
opening at 40.25 c May reacted to 40.15 c, but
later months firmed up before the end of
the first hour on reports of rains in the
central belt. July advanced to 38.03 c and
October to 35.60 c, or about 5 points above
last night’s closing. Some sections of Texas
are complaining of excessive rainfall, but
the early weather news ftom the Carolinas
was favorable.
The market turned firmer late in the morn
ing on covering by May shorts and if any
thing the weekly report of the weather
bureau published at midday, placed more
emphasis on unfavorable features than ex
pected. The failure of May notices issued
so far this month to bring out more liqui
dation was evidently a disappointment to
some of the remaining shorts and that posi
tion led the advance, selling up to 40.65
or 55 points net higher, while later deliv
eries showed net advances of 25 t 035 points
early in the noon hour with July selling at
38.22 and October at 35.92.
There was scattered realizing at 40.70 for
May and 35.95 for October and prices
showed reactions of several points after 2
o’clock with trading comparatively quiet.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, May 12.—Poor cables
caused moderate selling on the opening of
the cotton market today, but after declines
of 10 to 12 points new buying came in,
based on reports of continued heavy rains
in portions of the northwestern section of
the belt and on anticipation of unfavorable
items in the weekly crop reports from the
government. At the end of the first hour of
business prices were 10 to 21 points oyer
yesterday’s close. July fell off to 3<.<4c
and reacted to 37.95.
The weekly crop and weather reports at
10 o’clock were more unfavorable than ex
pected and they increased the demand to
a considerable extent, although trading did
not become very active, many would-be buy
ers being rendered cautious by continued re
ports of a slackening in the demand for
finished goods. Late in the morning July
traded at 38.05 and the list stood 20 to 35
points higher than the closing quotations
of yesterday. - ,
The cottan market became more active in
the lat trading and it firmed up on a good
demand so that toward the close the trading
months were 20 to 43 points over yester
day’s finals, the new crops being stronger
than the old.

His Theory That Exist

Stomach lnterest
Shown All Over South.
Interest continues all over the
south in the remarkable new theory
advanced by John Pomeroy that
stomach trouble is responsible for
the vast majority of cases of ill
health.
In an interview Mr. Pomeroy said:
“Stomach trouble I consider the ■
curse of the century. Thousands who
do not know what is the matter with
them are suffering from it. They
take socalled ‘treatments’ for nerv
ousness, kidney trouble, liver com
plaints. constipation or heart trou
ble. And in vain, for they do not
get at the real cause. The stomach
in many cases has become slowly
poisoned by dropping of acid and
nauseating mucus, usually from ca
tarrh, into the throat during slumber,
or careless swallowing of it through
the day. An inflamed condition re
sults, digestion is arrested, dyspepsia
is established, nutrition is denied, the

TO POINT OF PANIC,

plan that promised to stop the egress
j of German submarines, his mind was
closed to the above and, as many
other extracts show, to every plan
' looking to the great offensive which
in the fall of 1918 was the most ef
fective foe of the submarine.”
Admiral Sims’ cable to the presi
dent suggested that the proper policy
to pursue was to adopt the recom
mendations he had made to the navy
department, “most of which had been
decided upon and put in operation
before Admiral Sims suggested
them,” Secretary Daniels declared.
Favored British Organization
“He added,” the secretary contin
ued, “that we sohuld adopt an organ
ization similar in all respects to the
British squadron, and virtually trans
fer all naval authority to his head
quarters in London. He was careful
, not to say, though he regarded the
Queenstown base and surroundings
as the ‘critical area,’ that as rapidly
■ as American destroyers arrived the
, British destroyers were removed to
another area, although he now makes
the preposterous statement that the
, failure to have more destroyers in
that critical area (we had thirty
; four at that time out of our total of
i fifty) occasioned the loss of 500,000
lives and fifteen billion dollars of
money.”
Two “remarkable and significant
statements” in Admiral Sims’ reply
to President Wilson were cited by
Mr. Daniels as evidence that the ad
miral was “sk> hypnotized by British
influences that he was willing to try
to lure the president of the United
States into the feeling that regard
less of future developments, we can
always count upon the support of the
British navy.”
The first was that the views he
had expressed were in all cases an
“independent opinion, based upon spe
cific facts collected in the admiralty
and other government departments.”
The second was as follows:
“Depend upon the fact, which I
believe to be true, that regardless of
any future developments we can al
ways count upon the support of the
British navy. I have been assured
of this by important government of
ficials.”
“Sops for Simple”
“It would be interesting to know
what British government officials as
sured him that regardless of future
developments the United States can
always count upon the supoprt of
the British navy,” said Mr. Daniels.
“It seems inconceivable that any
admiral could have regarded such as
surances as worth paying tolls to
transmit. Every school boy should
know that in a democratic govern
ment no government official could
pledge his country’s navy to support
another government ‘regardless of
future developments.’ It is to be
hoped that if Admiral Sims has such
assurances he will send a copy of
the pledge In writing with the names
of the ‘important government offi
cials’ to be filed in
the archives of ‘sops for the simple.’ ”
Admiral Sims was “under the spell
of influences that made him. believe
the British government coula be de
pended upon more to take care of
America than that America should
depend upon her own strong right
arm.” said Mr. Daniels.
“This attitude of acceptance of ev
erything British,” he added, “un
doubtedly accounts for his opposition
to the creation of an independent
American army and his idea that
American troops sent abroad should
be used as an annex to the British
army, quoting General Bliss as rec
ommending that policy. When Gen
eral Bliss read that Admiral Sims
had quoted him as advocating such
a policy he wrote at once to the sec
retary of war declaring the truth to
be exactly the reverse.”
Mr. Daniels also asserted that Ad
miral Sims told C. C. Carlin, then
congressman from Virginia, visiting
London during the war, that “as
compared to the British navy our
achievements had amounted to little,
that England had protected us upon
the seas and we could always rely
upon her to do so, and that in view
of this friendship there was no ne
cessity for us to desire a navy which
would in any way equal that of Great
Britain,” Mr. Carlin, Mr. Daniels
said, declared Admiral Sims should
have been on the British payroll, not
America’s.
act, constipation follows, pimples ap
pear, aches pains utter their
warning, and»?& general debility is
the result, followed by suffering and
death.
“I can not begin to number the
people who have come to me with
pitiful stories of how they had dizzy
spells, were weak all the time, could
not sleep at night, got up in the
mornings, more tired than when they
went to bed, and the very sight of
food nauseated them. Or sometimes
they had unnaturally ravenous appe
tites, felt stuffed up after eating,
their minds wandered, violent head
aches attacked them, often accom
panied by a sudden nausea, vomiting
or fainting spells. Many had been
forced to go without solid food for
several weeks at a time, had always
a sour stomach, were troubled with
formation or gas on that organ, led
the gloomy life of dyspeptics, the
eyesight was affected, they were
dull, tired, nervous and; gloomy all
the time.
“Thousands of such sufferers have
poured out their thanks to my med
icine, Puratone, for restoring them
to g;ood health. lam absolutely posi
tive that Puratone will rel’eve any
such case of stbmach trouble in from
four to six weeks.”
The leading druggist in nearly ev
ery town sells Puratone, or Pomeroy
& Company, Atlanta, Ga., will fill or
ders at $1.04 per bottle, oostpaid.

The liver is the largest and most
important organ in the body, and
when the liver refuses to act, it
causes constipation, biliousness,
headaches, indigestion, gas, sour
stomach, bad breath, dysentery,
diarrhoea, pains in back and under
shoulder blades and under ribs on
right side. These symptoms lead to
colds, influenza or other serious
troubles unless corrected immedi
ately.
An inactive liver places an extra
burden on the kidneys, which over
taxes them and causes the blood
to absorb and carry into the sys
tem the impurities that the liver
and kidneys have failed to elimin
ate.
When you treat the liver alone,
you treat only a third of your
trouble, and that is why you have
to take purgatives every few
nights. Calomel or other ordinary
laxatives do not go far enough. If
yon would treat your kidneys and
blood while treating the liver, you
would put your entire system in
order and frequent purgatives would
then be unnecessary.
Dr. W. L. Hitchcock many years
ago recognized these important
facts, and after much study and
research, compounded what is now
known as Dr. Hitchcock’s Liver,
Kidney and Blood Powders, three
medicines combined in one. This
was the Doctor’s favorite prescrip
tion for many years, being used by
his patients with marked success.
It is a harmless vegetable remedy
that will not make you sick, and
you may eat anything you like
while taking it.
Get a large tin box from your
druggist or dealer for 25c, under his
personal guarantee that it will give
relief, tone up the liver, stimulate
the kidneys to healthy action and
thereby purify the blood. Keep it
in the home for ready use whenever
any member of the family begins
to feel “out of sorts.” It will
prove a household friend and a val
uable remedy.— (Advt.)

of the uncertainty nere as to what
might happen to a soldier candidate
and the opposition to universal mili
tary training, which killed that meas
ure in the *house of representatives,
is another sign of the unexpected
weakness of the soldier element in
our politics at the close of a big
war.
Today—the situation Is, of course,
full of uncertainties—but today it
looks like McAdoo for the Demo
cratic nomination, Oovernor Lowden
for the Republican, and Senator
Johnson for the third party with the
chances of Herbert Hoover being the
Republican candidate still not an im
possible contingency. His chances
for the Democratic nomination are
gone. He has read himself out of
that party by his attitude toward
the California primaries. And he
has failed to rouse Republican
strength by his hesitancy to declare
himself a Republican. His advisers
have hurt Herbert Hoover’s chances
but he is probably at fault for lis
tening to them.
Lowden, McAdoo and Johnson are
in the front rank today.
