6 Delegates Certified by Convention Are Invariably Seated, Says H. H. Perry Editor the Journal: While having the honor of only a slight acquaint ance with Mr. Fleming, I am not un familiar with his record at the bar and in public life and there is no man in Georgia for whom I have a higher esteem, and anything from him is entitled to the greatest re spect. But personal prestige cannot add to the cold processes of argu ment nor can the want of it detract from theip inherent force. The crux of Mr. Fleming’s posi tion is, that only the biennial con vention of the party for the purpose of nominating state officers is the depositary of the sovereign party power and that the convention called to select delegates to a national convention in no sense represents the sovereign Democratic power of the party. Indeed he is driven to this novel 1 assumption which seems to be orig inal with him and he virtually con cedes in resorting to this the incon clusiveness of the arguments of oth ers endeavoring to uphold the action of the executive committee in its at tempt to control the action of the convention. But this position I submit is a mere ipse dixit of the distinguished gentleman. He cites no authority oy precedent to support it and calls at tention to no place or occasion where the distinction was ever recognized. It may be said that the biennial gubernatorial convention being based on a white primary without regard to the national affiliations of the voters is not in a strict sense as much a Democratic convention as a convention to select delegates to a national Democratic convention and to appoint electors in an approaching presidential contest. It is his affiliation with the Dem ocratic party of the entire country which alone stamps a voter as a party Democrat. Very many who are Republicans in all national con tests, vote with us in the white pri maries for governor and state offi cers and earnestly support the local ticket. No one of them would think of taking part in a primary dealing with the nomination of the candidate of the Democratic party for presi dent. But be all that as it may, how much higher and more important are the functions of a convention of the party acting in unison with similar organizations throughout the union, and seeking in concert with them to insure the success of that great national party, the very ark of our political liberties, than those of a mere local state convention for the distribution of state officers and which plays no part in nominations for national elections! So I fail to see the force of a mere assertion that a state conven tion of the party dealing with great national questions does not represent the sovereign Democratic party of Georgia. Party traditions and usage, and the history of party government from Thomas Jefferson, who, as I remember from my reading, first in augurated conventions in the states of national Democrats to nominate candidates for the presidency, give the negative to Mr. Fleming’s po sition. It was the office and duty of the executive committee to provide rules for the conduct of the primary and to call the convention, but when and where by statute or by any resolu tion of the party convention, orlg inally appointing them, was the pow er ever delegated to this commit tee to lay down a rule of action for the convention when it should as semble? Rule X was a mere usurpation of an authority the committee did not possess and was simply void. It is safd no objection was made. I suppose no objection was made to I the Pope’s bull against the comet! rone was necessary. It was “brutem fulmen.” So was Rule X. No one agreed to it. No one had his day in court to agree or not to agree. It was not agreed to by any convention of the party when alone, it • could have been considered and accepted. Were we playing a mere “game’’ like poker or basebajl or were we dealing with the serioug Interests of the country? Code section 195 quoted by Mr. Fleming simply provides for “re turns” of the primary to the commit tee. Under the Neal act also quoted by him the committee simply "con solidates”, these returns and must publish the consolidation in a news paper at the capital within three : days under the hand and seal of the chairman and secretary. This is their only report provided. See section 1, act 1917, page 184. Then section 1 provides that the "convention” shall then declare those receiving a “ma jority" of the county unit votes upon the basis set forth above be the nominees of the party. The aot there after provides that a "plurality” shall be sufficient for certain Speci fied officers wh:-h are alone ex cepted from the i.. iority rule, but I am not dealing with that now ex cept to say that delegates to a na tional convention or nominees for president are not so specified and by the maxim, “expressio unius est ex cluslo allerlus," such delegates could pot be elected except by a majority vote and Rule X was therefore in direct contravention of the Neal act when it attempted to apply, the plurality rtile to them or to the nom inees for president. So that is where the Neal act leaves us, if we follow that. The committee, Mr. Fleming says, could have declared the result with out calling a convention. Taking that for granted, which I do not agree to, it is sufficient to say, It did call a convention and the Neal act, page 185, distinctly provides that only whan "no convention is called or held” shall the declaration of the "result” be made as prescribed AUTO TIRES Jgg 35% to 56% Saving jfej Eaeh tire carries a I guarantee.

So follow ing the Neal act the committee could not declare the result. In conclusion, nothing would have created more widespread dissatisfac tion or tended more to disrupt the party in Georgia than to have estab lished the precedent that a commit tee could lay down a rule to con trol the action of a socerelgn conven tion. To have acquiesced in Rule X would have been to nail to the door of the Democratic party in Georgia— “give up your liberties those who en ter here.” "Surrender the rights of your children and children's children to the control of committees and sub committees.” and no one could again exclaim with pride, as we have been wont to do and as we can still do with Rule X repudiated, "1 am a Democrat.” It is a rule without exception that the delegates certified to be such by the chairman and secretary of the convention are placed on the temporary roll of the national con vention and the delegates so certi fied will take their seats until the credential committee acts. The bur den of unseating them will be on the committee's delegates. H. H. FERRY. $59,610 SPENHhT PALMER’S CAMPAIGN; $5,000 IN GEORGIA (Continued from Sag# 1) “Aren’t you counsel for the Chicago packers?” "No, sir,’’ Mr. Carlin said. "Aren’t you counsel for the Cruci ble Steel company?” "I am not.” "You are counsel for Mr. DuPuy, president of the Crucible Steel com pany,” Chairman Kenyon demanded. "I am,” Mr. Carlin said. "And the Crucible Steel company defrauded the United States govern ment out of $10,000,000, didn’t it, in income taxes?” Chairman Kenyon “Something like that," Mr. Carlin said. "It was the attorney general s business to prosecute defrauders of the government?” Chairman Kenyon 3,sked. Answer was cut off by a disagree ment within the committee. Mr. Car lin demanded opportunity to answer in his way. Crucible Matter Taken XTp "You know the Crucible company paid the government back $10,009,- 000," the chairman began again. “It did not, it was $9,000,000,” Mr. Carlin answered. "Mr. DuPuy was chairman of the board of directors, not president of the Crucible,” Mr. Carlin continued. "Well, you are attorney for him in this matter?” Chairman Kenyon “I am not," Carlin said. "Im rep resenting Mr. DuPuy in the matter of his own and his wife’s Income tax. The other officers of the Cru cible company were responsible for the other.” Mr. Carlin said the government claimed a $36,000 under-payment in the DuPuy private Incomes. "I represent them on the civil side, not the criminal," Mr. Carlin said. “There has been no action taken, of any kind on the criminal side.” “Now the situation as to Crucible Steel is that $9,000,000 has been paid back,” Chairman Kenyon said. "Who is being prosecuted?" • “That matter is settled,” Mr. Car lin said. "Can men defraud the government of sums like this and get away without any punishment as crimi nals?” Chairman Kenyon said. "I take it you haven’t read the statute," Mr. Carlin replied. "It specifically provides for settlement in these matters by the payment of money.” .$66,332 SPENT N HOOVER CAMPAIGN, MANAGER SAYS WASHINGTON, May 25—Expendi tures of $66,332, exclusive of the California primary expense, have been made in the campaign of Her bert Hoover for the Republican pres idential nomination. John F. Lucey, manager for Mr. Hoover, testified to day in the senate investigation. To tal reports were placed at $62,185. Campaign expenditures of Governor Edwards, of New Jersey, and Sena tor Harding, of Ohio, also were to come under scrutiny of the senate investigating committee today. The committee also intends to go into the Georgia contest matter at some length. It developed yesterday that Henry Lincoln Johnson, a negro politician in Georgia, had rece ved $9,000 from the Lowden war chest. Johnson is a leader in the contest against the Wood delegates in Geor gia. The committee wants to know whether the $9,000 was given to fi nance the contest. Ab to Hoover’s Besidenc# Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri, questioned Mr. Lucey and before go ing into the matter of campaign ex pense he asked as to Mr. Hoover’s residence. Mr. Lucey refused to co incide with the senator’s sugges tion that Mr. Hover’s real residence was London, England,* but he was not positive on the point. "I want to know something about expenditures." Senator Edge, Repub lican, New Jersey, Interrupted. Chair man Kenyon ruled the question in order. “First, I can give you all the figures but those in th’e California campaign,” Mr. Lucey said. “They were handled there.” 'There have been many chrnges on both sides about that,” interjected Chairman Kenyon. “We have sum moned the men who know.” The witness said no individual had contributed more than SI,OOO and that no corporation had contributed anything. Expenditures for printing and pub licity were plated by the witness at $30,033; for salaries, $14,803; on the Chicago convention commmitee, $2.- 000, and to Hover clubs in Wash ington state, $2,000; while $14,900 had been borrowed to meet expenses, there was $9,852 cash on hand, but a deficit not covered by contribu tions was noted at $4,147. Contributors were not named m the statement filed. “Know anything about Mr. Hoov er’s publication, the Washington Her ald, or others?” asked Senator Reed. “Nothing but what I’ve read,” Mr. Lucey said, adding that he “had only read about" plans for a Hoover news paper to operate during the Chicago convention. Where Money Came From "About this $30,000 you note In i your report,” continued Senator Reed. ! “might this not cover the expense lof these articles I’ve asked about?” “I think not. I can show you all i the vouchers for that.” “Also about this $2,000 contribution l to the Washington State club?” j “That was advanced from San 1 Francisco and we haven’t had a re ■ port on it yet.” “There have been statements to the effect that very powerful financial Interests are back of the Hoover campaign," Chairman Kenyon said. “Can you tell us about that? "Sc far as I know, it isn’t true,” was the reply. “Have you any contributions from the international bankers in New York?” “We have had a due regard to the personal reputation of Mr. Hoover and ourselves,” the witness replied, ! “and have consequently refused to accept any contributions for more I than SI,OOO from corporations." Charles J. Hepburn, of Philadel phia, one of the Pensylvania Hoover club members, was called. “We have never taken a dollar from New York,” he said. “We col lected about $4,402 in Philadelphia and in Pennsylvania as a Whole about $20,000. It is our intention to file a full statement. There are several hundred thousand members of the clubs in the state. “We have a balance of around $2,- 500 on hand now.” The side saddle was invented in the fourteenth century that Anne of Bohemia, who was deformed, might ride in comfort. STATE RESTS CASE IN SECOND TRIAL OF MRS. STELLA-ABBOTT (Continued from Page 1) sarr time my husband was edging closer to me. All at once my hus band grabbed me by the throat with one hand and grabbed at the pistol with the other. I believe he intend ed to kill me. my father and my two children. I was quicker than he was, however, and I seized the pistol and shot him. Did Not Intend to Kill “I had no intention of killing him. but I wanted to protect myself 'and my children. As he fell, he said: T am shot, but 1 deserved it, for I have treated you like a cur.’ “When they took me to the in quest, I heard the voice of Mary Powers. I recognized it as the same voice 1 had heard on the telephone. . She was the last one to see my hus band’s body. She took him in her arms and kissed my husband’s lips, thereby showing by her conduct their relationship. “A few days after my husband’s death, still another woman, whom 1 did not know, killed herself on his grave. At that time. Mary Power.- remarked that she knew the woman was not intimate with Mr. Abbott because Johnny was true to her. My life has been wrecked. There Is nothing left for me to live for ex cept my dear boys, and I will be happy to train them to be good and useful men. “It is said I stepped over -the feet of my husband after he was dead. I did not do it, Gods knows I didn’t.” Mrs. Abbott Concludes This concluded Mrs. Abbott’s statement. ‘She explained the ab sence of her father, who has not been in the court room since the trial began, by saying he was sick in bed. A sister, who also was a close attendant at the first trial also was absent, and Mrs. Abbott said she was attending her father. At the conclusion of Mrs. Abbott’s statement, the court took a short recess. After reconvening, the state commenced its rebuttal. , What the state considers some of Its strongest evidence against Mrs. Abbott was introduced Wednesday forenoon. Mrs. C. M. Mclntyre told of the quarrel between Mrs. Abbott and her husband, following a series of tele phone calls, and the mannare In which Mrs. Abbott is said to have attempted to force her husband to give the name of the woman who had called him. When Abbott refused to tell the woman’s name, said the witness, Mrs. Abbott went into 'an adjoining room and returned with a revolver, using profane language. She threatened to kill her husband “before sunrise,” the witness testified, unless he gave the name of the woman who had called him on the telephone. Corroborates Husband “She cursed him because he was a Mason," said Mrs. Mclntyre, "and she cursed all Masons.” The witness corroborated her hus band, who testified on Tuesday, in the statement that they had left the Abbotts alone in the room and went to heir own apartment at this stage of the qaurrel. Mrs. Abbott’s remarks still were audible, however, as she continued to speak in a loud tone, the wit ness said. Mrs. Mclntyre declared that about an hour later she heard a shot fired, and a sound of some one falling to the floor. Then she heard Mrs. Abbott cursing her husband. “I heard Mrs. Abbott ask her father, who had arrived in response to a telephone call, whether Johnny had any money in his pockets,” said the witness. "Her father replied that he had $2.” Cross-Examined A few minutes later, said the wit ness, Mrs. Abbot came to the Mcln tyre apartment, admitted having shot her husband, expressed no regret, and stated that it “took him nine minutes to die.” She did not men tion any attack by him, according to the witness. Cross-examined by Attorney Reu ben' R. Arnold for the defense, Mrs. Mclntyre stated that just before the shot was fired she heard a slight noise, but was unable to identify its source. She also testified that when she visited Mrs. Abbott at the lail the defendan tasked her not to tes tify concerning her u?e of profane language.- - - Other witnesses examined at the morning session were Captain E. L. Jett, of the police department; J. A. Belflower, of the Atlanta Georgian reportorial staff and Angus Perker- s °n. newspaper reporters. Captain Jett told of a conversa tion with Mrs. Abbott on the night of her arrest. He said she expressed no regret for having killed her hus band and admitted the shooting Mr. Perkerson and Mr. Belflower who interviewed Mrs. Abbott at th police station, testified that she de clared she "shot Johnny because she >.v T 2l ey fur ther stated that Mrs. Abbott told them that her husband made an effort to get the revolver, whereupon she fired th fatal shot. womnJ can’t have him no other damn Ai°w?

The defense offered no test® Abbott eXCeßt the statement of Mrs. Afternoon Session In opening the state’s case Tues day afternoon Patrolmen Grover C. Fain and J. H. Davis, who answered the call to the Abbott home on Bass street on the night of the killing, testified as to the finding of Johnny Abbott’s body, declaring that Mrs. Ab bott admitted having shot her hus band. They swore that she appeared calm and in possession of her facul ties, stepping over the body as she crossed the room to get her wraps before going to police headquarters. The officers further declared that Mis. Abbott pamed Mary Powers as the woman who had caused the trou bie between her husband and herself. P?' Mclntyre, who had rooms at the Abbott home, testified as to the circumstances leading up to the killing. He declared that the Ab botts and the Mclntyres had been playing “flinch,” and had been dis turbed by two telephone calls, Ab bott answering the phone on both occasions and returning to the table • saying that no one answered. When the phone rang the third time, he (Mclntyre) answered it, a woman’s voice asking for Abbott. “I came back to the table and told Abbott that a woman wanted to speak with him.” said Mclntyre. Mrs. Abbott followed him out into the hal Ito the phone and when they came back she cursed him. saying that she would find out who that woman was before morning or blow nis brains out.” Mclntyre testified that Mrs. Ab bott secured a pistol at the outset of the quarrel and that her husband urged her to lay it aside, saying that he would talk to her after she put the weapon down. The Mclntyres went to their rooms when the quar rel started, the witness said, and in about an hour they heard the fatal shot fired. In the meantime Mrs. Ad bott had telephoned to her father, L. H. Finn, and fie came to the Abbott home.’ On cross-examination by Attorney • Reuben R. Arnold, for the defense, Mclntyre insisted that Mrs. Abbott was "mad” but her husband main tained a calm demesne- It was in dicated by Attorney Arnold’s ques tions that the defense may make the plea of emotional insanity one of the basic features of its case. ■Judge Humphries has announced that morning and afternoon sessions of the court will be held in an effort to conclude the trial by the end of the week More than a hundred wit nesses have been subper.aed on both sides.

COTTON NEW YORK, May 26.—Yesterday’s ad vances were followed by irregular fluctua tions in the cotton market during today’s early trading. Liverpool did not fully meet yesterday’s local gains, but the market here opened steady at a decline of 1 point on July and 5 to 20 points higher on other deliveries. There was some scattered south ern and New Orleans selling in expectation of a favorable weekly report from the weath er bureau and unfavorable go*ds trade ad vices. These offerings were absorbed by continued covering on bullish private crop reports and tlie steadier ruling of south western spot markets late yesterday, witli July selling up to 37.04 and October to 35.15 after the call, or about 13 to 20 points net higher. A private report placing the crop’s condi tion at 02.8, or much the lowest on record, and pointing to a decrease of 1.2 per cent in acreage, With an indicated yield of only 9,950,000 bales, excluding linters, led to more active covering both her and in Liver pool. This was reflected in higher late cables, while in the local market October sold up to 35.47 c, or 52 points net higher and 132 points above the recent low level. There was realizing on this bulge in antici pation of n bullish weekly report from the weather bureau, and right after its publica tion October sold down to 35.15 c, or about 32 points from the best. The details of the weekly weather re ports made a less afvorable impression than tlie summary and the market firmed up again during the afternoon on renewed covering. Reports that spots were being held for full prices in the south stimulated tlie buying, which carried October up to 35.46, or 51 points net higher.

We are inclined to think that expecta tions regarding the condition report are get ting down to too low levels. As long as sentiment remains so bullish lower prices hardly can be expected. COTTON MARKET OPINIONS J. W. Jay & Co.: The outside news con tinues of an unsettling character, but this is greatly offset by the unfavorable crop ac counts. Moss & Ferguson: Further covering, with good buying, should occasion no surprise. Moyse & Holmes: Our preference remains for the long side of the market during all periods of weakness. Munds, Rogers & Stackpole: We still ad vise purchases on weak spots. J. S. Baelie & Co.: We look for a very bullish bureau to be published on Wednes day, June 2d, and look for a further ad vance between now and that time. Hubbard Bros. & Co.: A steady market is anticipated the balance of the week in view of the coming holidays and the bureau report. S. M.

Victorian Wheat Yield Down MELBOURNE, Aust. —The Victor ian wheat yield for 1919-1920 shows a decrease of 10,000,00) bushela. THVHHUAI, MAI 4G 11F4V. For More Than Forty Years Cotton Growers have known that POTASH PAYS More than 11,651,200 Tons of Potash Salts had been imported and used in the United States in the 20 years previous to January, 1915, when shipments ceased. Os this 6,460,- 700 Tons consisted of KAINIT which the cotton grower knew was both a plant food and a preventive of blight and rust, —with it came also 1,312,400 Tons of 20 per cent MANURE SALT which has the same effects on Cotton, but which was used mainly in mixed fertilizers. Shipments of both Kainit and Manure Salt have been resumed but the shortage of coal and cars and high freight rates make it more desirable to ship Manure Salt, which CONTAINS 20 PER CENT OF ACTUAL POTASH, instead of Kainit, which con tains less than 13 per cent actual Potash. MANURE SALT can be used as a side dressing on Cotton in just the same way as Kainit and will give the same results. Where you used 100 pounds of Kainit, you need to use but 62 pounds of Manure Salt, or 100 pounds of Manure Salt go as far as 161 pounds of • MANURE SALT has been coming forward in considerable amounts and cotton growers, who can not secure Kainit, should make an effort to get Manure Salt for side dressing to aid in making a big Cotton Crop. Muriate of Potash 50 per cent actual Potash, has been coming forward also, —100 pounds of Muriate are equivalent to 400 pounds of Kainit or 250 pounds of Manure Salt. These are the three Standard GERMAN Potash Salts that were always used in making cotton fertilizers and have been used for all these years with great profit and WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE TO THE CROP. The supply is not at present as large as in former years, but there is enough to greatly increase the Cotton Crop if you insist on your dealer making the necessary effort to get it for you.
