6 Full Details of Methods Georgia Palmer Men hFill Use In Effort to Be Seated From Washington have come the full details of the method by which the rump delegation repre senting A. Mitchell Palmer have undertaken to establish their cre dentials of admission to the Demo cratic national convention to be held in San Francisco, June 28. The story is one of the most interesting in the annals of Georgia politics. The issue involved in the effort by the Palmer delegates to gain admis sion to the national convention will be fought out before the Democratic national committee at San "Francisco and also before the credentials com mittee. Whichever way the contest is decided by the national commit tee, there will be an appeal to the credentials committee. The Repub lican contest being staged in Chi cago by the rival Georgia delega tions representing Wood and Palmer is something of a whisper compared with the noise that will be made at Frisco by the rival delegations of Georgia Democrats. As previously stated in The Jour nal, there are two forms of creden tials prescribed by the Democratic na tional committee. One is the form for delegates elected by a Demo cratic state convention. The other is the form for delegates elcted by the people in a Democratic state primary. As also previously' stated, the Palmer delegates used the lat ter form, and their credentials were certified by Hiram L. Gardner, sec retary of the Democratic state ex ecutive committee. They could not obtain the certificate of the chair man of the committee. Judge James J. Flynt, for the reason that he refused to recognize the Palmer dele gates. The peculiarity of the credentials to be presented by the Palmer dele gates is at once apparent to the Democrats of Georgia, who are aware of the fact that delegate® to the na tional convention were not elected in the primary. This peculiarity will also be brought to the attention of the Democratic national committee and of the credentials committee. The regular delegation elected by the Democratic state convention will see that the peculiarity of the Palmer credentials is thoroughly un derstood at San Francisco. No Delegates in Primary In the Georgia primary, held April 20. the Democrats did not vote for delegates to the national convention. They voted directly for or against the candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination. Those can didates were A. Mitchell Palmer, Senator Hoke Smith and Thomas E. ■Watson. Neither candidate received a majority of the county unit votes. Palmer led the ticket with a slight margin over Watson, and Watson was second with a slight margin over Smith. It was about as near an even split of the popular vote and the county unit vote as ever hap pened in a Georgia election. Following the primary, there was held in Atlanta, on May 18, a state convention. The purpose of the con vention was to name Georgia's dele gates to the. Democratic national convention. This was in accordance with the rules of the primary laid down by the Democratic state com mittee, as well as in accordance with Democratic precedent and usage in Georgia. The convention offered to name a delegation divided equally among the three candidates in the primary. This was refused by the Palmer people, who claimed the right (by virtue of rule 10 of the state committee) to name all the delegates. Thereupon the conven tion elected a delegation divided equally between Senator Smith and Thomas E. Watson. A list of dele gates put in nomination by the Pal mer people was voted down, and the Smith-Watson list was elected by a large majority of the votes in the convention. Following the conven tion, the delegates nominated by the Palmer people, and voted down by the convention, announced their in tention of going to San Francisco and contesting the admission of the reg ular delegates. There being two forms, and only two, and one being a form for dele gates elected by a state convention, and the other being a form for dele gates elected in a primary, it was necessary for the Palmer delegates to choose between them. Not being elected by the state convention, they were forced to use the other form. Language of Primary Form And this other form, for delegates elected in a primary, reads as fol lows: “This is to certify that, at a pri mary election, held, in all the voting districts and precincts of the state of , and participated in by qualified electors of the said state affiliated with the Democratic party, in pursuance of action taken by the Democratic state central committee of the said state providing for such primary election, fixing the date and prescribing the rules and regulations thereof, on the day of , 1920, the following named persons were duly elected delegates and alter nates to represent the said state in the Democratic national convention, to be held in the city of San Fran cisco, state of California, on the 28th day of June, 1920, to wit:” Then follow blank lines for the names of the delegates. On these lines were written the names of the Palmer delegates nominated by the Palmer people in the state conven tion and voted down by the state convention. After the names comes the certificate to be signed by the chairman of the Democratic state executive committee. In this partic ular case, for the reason explained above, the certificate was signed- by the secretary, Mr. Gardner, instead of by the chairman. Judge Flynt. The certificate reads as follows: “In witness whereof, I, the under signed, chairman of the Democratic state ,central committee of the state of , by virtue of authority vested in me by the said committee, having fully canvassed the returns from the primary election held in accordance with an order of the said state central committee, as afore said, have hereunto set my hand to the foregoing certificate of election, in the city of , on this day of , 1920.” Could Hot Give Vote In signing the above certificate, Mr. Gardner struck out the word “chairman” and wrote in its place the word "secretary.” Just below the certificate ap pears the following: “NOTE —In the case of primary elections, it is advisable for rhe chairman of the state central com mittee to attach to this certificate a copy of the call or order for such Ugly, Unsightly Fsmples Are Signals of Bad Blood Give Heed to the Warning.

But he did put in a copy of the rules of the state committee for the conduct of the primary, as well as a copy of the order for the holding of the primary promulgated by the committee. Around Rule X, on which the Palmer delegates base their claim for ad mission to the national convention, he drew a ring to call special atten tion to it. And he put in also a copy of the resolution adopted by the subcommittee on rules of the state committee, declaring Mr. Raimer the winner -of the primary and declaring him entitled, by virtue of rule X, to name the delegates to the national convention. And he put in also a copy of the resolution adopted oy tiie whole state committee, ratifying this action by the subcommittee. On its face, the credentials issued to the Palmer delegates by Secre tary Gardner constitute a certificate that Pleasant A. Stovall and the other Palmer delegates wer e “duly elected in a primary to represent the state in the Democratic national convention,” when as a matter of fact there were no delegates elected in the primary. This Form, or Nothing But in view of the fact that the national committee provides but two forms, and in view of the impossi bility of using the form provided for delegates elected by a state conven tion. it -was absolutely necessary to certify that the Palmer delegates were “duly elected In a primary.” It .was either that or nothing, and they had to have something. So they got from Secretary Gardner a certificate saying they were elected in a primary, and their evident intention is to twist Rule 10 to fit these credentials. No such embarrassing difficulties beset the regular delegates elected by the state convention. The form of credentials provided for delegates elected by a state convention fits their status like a glove. They do not have to twist these credentials or amend them or explain them or attach a brief to them. Neither do they require from any state chair man a certificate of something that did not exist and does not' exist, as the Palmer delegates were forced to require from Secretary Gardner in getting his certificate that they were “duly elected in a primary.” The form of credentials for dele gates elected by a state convention is as follows: “Tills is to certify that at a state convention of the Democratic party of the state of duly and regularly called, convened and organ ized, by authority of the Democratic state central committee, in accord ance with party rules and customs and the laws of the state, in the city of on the •• day of named persons were duly elected delegates and alternates to represent the said state in the Democratic na tional convention to be held in the city of San Francisco, state of Cali fornia, cei the 28th day of June, 1920, to wit:” Then follow the blank lines for the names of the delegates. And after the names the following certi ficate by the chairman and secretary of the state convention: State Chairman’s Certificate “In witness where, we, the under signed, respectively chairman and secretary of the said convention, have hereunto set our hands this day of 1920.” And below this certificate is the following to be signed by the chair man of the Democratic state central committee: “I hereby certify that chairman and secretary, were duly constituted officers of a state convention regularly called and ccavcned for the purpose of electing delgates and alternates to the Dem ocratic national convention from the state of as aforesaid, and that they are the persons who ex ecuted the foregoing certificate. Given under my hand this day of 1920, in the city of state of • • ” As will be observed from reading the form of credentials provided for deelgates elected by a state conven tion, it fits the regular delegates like a glove. Samuel L. Olive, chair man, and E. B. Moore, secretary, of the state convention held in Atlanta May 18, will sign these credentials, and Chairman Flynt, of the state committee will sign the certificate. In affixing their names to the cer tificates above reproduced, it will not be necessary for these gentlemen to amend, qualify, explain, change, ex tenuate or modify what they sign in a single particular. , The primary credentials for the Palmer delegates were signed by Secretary Gardner on May 21, on the day following the state convention, and were turned over to Clark Howell, Democratic national com mitteeman from Georgia, afid by him forwarded to the secretary of the national committee in Washington. The convention credentials for the regular delegates will be signed by Chairman Olive and Secretary Moore of the state convention, and certified by Chairman Flynt of the state com mittee, and will be forwarded to the secretary of the national committee in the next few days.

Columbus, Ohio u COTTON NEW YORK, June 4. —Reports of con tinued rains in central and western sections of the belt, were accompanied by some very unfavorable crop advices from the southwest and the cotton market opened firm at an advance of 25 to 32 points. July sold up to 38.87 and October to 36.70 on the call, making advances of about a cent to a cent and a quarter from the low levels touched yesterday. There was a good deal of southern buying and further covering by local or Wall street shorts. The latter demand was less active after the heavy cov ering movement of yesterday, however, and the market was irregular after the opening advance, with prices easing off a few points under realizing. Houses with foreign trade connections were credited witli buying futures here against tiie forward requirements of spinners, but no domestic trade demand was reported and trading was comparatively quiet late in the morning. Except for realizing selling was limited but prices gradually eased off from the best witli July selling around 38.65 and October 36.43 shortly after mid day or about 25 points below the high level of the morning. After selling off to 38.95 for July and 36.24 for October, or 6 to 15 points net lower, tiie market steadied during the early afternoon on renewed covering. Trading remained quiet witli prices ruling about 5 to 10 points net higher. NEW YORK COTTON The following were the ruling prices i> fl” exchange today: Tone, steady; middling, 40c, quiet. Last Prev.

July went to 38.90 and October to 36.46. Buying was general and for both accounts and offerings were far from being liberal. Some of the worst crop complaints were from the central di vision of the belt, where rainfall is de scribed as excessive. Additional buying came into the mar ket following the posting of the forecast of showery weather for the eastern half of the belt and some sections of the western belt and the advance was widened to 82 to 123 points, October touching 36.50. Late in the morning considerable realizing from the long side was felt and prices reacted, stand ing at net gains of 59 to 98 points. Profit-taking from the iong side became heavier toward the end and with it was mixed considerable selling for short account on the belief that a prolonged reaction from the advance was due. The market contin ued to ease off and in the last few monutes of the session stood at net advance of 49 to 80 points.

COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, June 4.—As frequently pointed out, with this contract and deliv ery conditions control of the market, as long as there is no actual new supply under consideration, rests with the bull side and will assert itself whenever short interest has accumuated. Such accumulation had taken place during the recent price reduction campaign and yesterday's holiday he»e seemed to be selected in other quarters to start a concerted action to force short cov ering. The bullish advantage supplied by the sensational bureau report, in combination with more general showers in the belt, helped in the execution of the move. While Liverpool yesterday closed about 16 down, New York scored an 80 point rise. Owing to holiday interruption, the limit of fluctuations here today was fixed at 280 up to 120 down from Wednesday’s closing quotations. First trade here were 70 to 100 up, to conform to the change in tiie other markets. Demand was not as strong as expected, showing that short in terest was not as extensive, bullish bureau views having held speculation rather to the buying side in the last reaction in the mar ket. A buying wave on the eastern fore cast being for showers carried October to 36.50, but the market quieted on the western forecast being for fair, showing that clearing weather is coming on the belt from the west. Heavy mins occurred Wednesday in parts of Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas, but there was little precipitation over the eastern district. The map today shows cloudy for most of the belt with general precipitation, ligter over the western district but more general over the eastern district, heavy In" ti’e Birmingham district and east Tennes see. MISSISSIPPI AND SOUTH CAROLINA IN LOWDEN COLUMN (Continued from Page 1) to take on a real convention at mosphere. By the time the crowds of delegates begin pouring in and with the coming of political leaders from Washington, things are expected to be going full blast. The first cheers and the first songs of the boosters are beginning to be heard in the hotel lobbies and on the streets. Pianos are tinkling in many of the campaign headquarters and the song leaders and cheer leaders are on the job beginning to drill the chor uses of willing workers that always gather to participate jn the noisy demonstrations which accompany a convention. Publicity plans have had an im petus, too, and beginning today Wood, Lowden and Johnson will be gin giving two daily interviews to newspaper men. Other candidates will join the plan as they arrive. Senator Poindexter arrived today and on Sat urday his special trains of boosters and delegates are due in from the west. From today on, carloads of delegates will be arriving from all parts of the country to go through the quadrennial preliminaries of cau cusing, electing their delegation offi cers, members of the various con vention committees and choosing the state representatives on the Repub lican national committee. There are also many little booms not so well defined or being supported with such enthusiasm as the princi pal ones. There are candidates fov president and vice president who have arrived with nominating speeches already prepared, and now they are busy canvassing the various delegations trying to induce some one to deliver them. Vice President Marshall is going to have a look at the Republican con test and possibly some of the conven tion on his way west. He is due here today. Georgia Case Up Again By comparison with previous con ventions. all the scenery and props are on hand for this yeaUs big show. There are miles of bunting flapping and fluttering in the late spring breezes of Lake Michigan; there are buttons, badges and souvenirs by the hogsheads; there are bands by the score, all ready to begin blaring the campaign anthems; there are rooters and boosters preparing their voices for the uproar; there are enthusiasts ready to parade at a moment’s no tice, and to cheer with the winners and mourn with the losers. While all these preparations are going on, the Republican national committee, in its meeting room at the Coliseum, continues to gind away, deciding contests among state dele gations. The Georgia case, which contains delegates for Wood or for Lowden, is on the calendar for dis posal today, and there are sugges tions that yesterday’s decision in the Florida case—with somewhat similar aspects—might furnish the solution. There are some indica tions, however, that when the case is called, it may be passed down the list to the bottom of the calen dar, and wait there until all the re maining contests are disposed of. At the present rate of progress there is hope among the national committeemen that they may finish their work Saturday. Johnson’s Arrival "Senator Hiram W. Johnson, ot California, arrived in Chicago Thurs day and made a brief speech against the League of Nations. During his trip from the railway station to his hotel he was loudly cheered. Thousands of persons gathered In front of the Auditorium hotel, where Senator Johnson’s political headquar ters are, and demanded a speech. He was greeted with a three-minute demonstration when he appeared on a balcony of the hotel. “We will continue to live our lives in our way way without dictation from Europe,” the senator said. “When this campaign is over we will ocne more be just Americans.” “I am here to see that there is no pussyfooting, no hiding upon the question of the League of Nations,” Senator Johnson said. “We are going to have, if It is pos sible to have it, a declaration in this convention that will reaffirm the right of America to govern its own affairs.” Senator Johnson was met at the station by a reception committee of several hundred, headed by a band and a delegation of soldiers and sail ors in uniform. The soldiers were members of the Siberian expedition ary force, whose withdrawal from Russia had bee nurged in the senate by the senator. The Streets about the station and the half mile route to the senator’s hotel were crowded, thousands of the onlookers wearing Johnson buttons and waving American flags. The Republican national committee voted Thursday to serve notice on southern Republicans that they must not hold district or state conventions in buildings where negroes are barred. Thought He Owed sl2; Sees the Mayor; Hospital Gets Money S. J. Bradford, lately of Atlanta, retains his peace of mind; Mayor James L. Key’s faith in human na ture has received a decided boost; and Grady hospital is richer by sl2, as the result of a conference the mayor held Mr. Bradford at the ex ecutive offices Tuesday morning. Mr. Bradford might be called “The man with a conscience.” Recently he hcecked over his outstanding ac counts, and found on his debit side, an obligation of sl2 due, he thought, to a Philadelphia concern. Promptly he mailed a check, closing out the account. He forgot the matter, until some days ago he received a letter from the Philadelphia house, stating that he had no such account with them, and returning the check. “That’s very nice,” thought Mr. Bradford, “but that money belongs to somebody besides m», and have it they shall.” Whereupon he visited the mayor, explained his troubles, and showed the mayor the corespondence. He said he couldn’t enjoy spending the money, and it would do no good to keep it, sc what must he do with ft? A thought struck the mayor, and he suggested that the check be made payable to the Grady hospital. No s ooner said than done. Alabama Industries In Need of Coal MONTGOMERY, Ala., June 4.—Re ports received by the public service commission today indicate that pub lic utilites and ndustres are unable to obtain coal from the mines and that unless relief is obtained at once many will be forced to close. Even the state government has faced difficulties in obtaining fuel for the cotton mill at Speigner and Governor Kilby and the commission succeeded during the day after great effort to obtain a temporary sup ply which will keep the mill in opera tion for a few days.

Refusal to Put Names Os Lee and Jackson on Memorial Ril es U.C.V. MONTGOMERY, Ala., June 4. T Members of the Alabama division, U. C. V., expressed indignation Wen nesday over a reply received from a letter to President Wilson request ing the names of Lee and Jackson, Confederate generals, be placed on the Arlington memorial. The reply to the letter to Presi dent Wilson came from Newton D.

June 4. — Two measures affecting the office and compensation of the president of the United States were introduced In the senate Thursday by Senator Hoke Smith. The first provides a consti tutional amendment for a single term of four years for the president. The second reduces the salary of the president from $75,000 to $50,000 per year, but stipulates that after re tirement from office the president shall draw an annuity from the government of SIO,OOO for each year that he lives. The single term resolution is in keeping with the party declarations of the Democratic party and early in ’the Wilson administration there was a movement in both houses to pass a constitutional amendment for ratification. This was held up on - suggestion from the White House and the issue has not since been revived. John Bassett Moore, the international lawyer,* recently an nounced that the single presidential term should be made effective. Senator Smith believes that a year ly salary of $50,000 while in office and a certainty of SIO,OOO per year after he leaves office Is the better method of compensation for the pres ident. It would solve, perhaps, the old question. "What shall we do with our ex-presidents?” and retiring executives, with a livelihood as sured. would not be compelled to en ter business or return to some em ployment possibly not as dignified as should go with the name of an ex-president of the United States. United States to Be Represented at Trade Conference in London WASHINGTON. June 4.

South Georgia Expects Fine Tobacco Crop TIFTON, Ga., June 4.—A. W. Bovrt, sales supervisor of the Imperial To bacco Co., Ltd., of Great Britain and Ireland, accompanied by S. B. Lassiter, manager of the Tifton branch of this company, has returned from a trip over the entire tobacco section of south Georgia. This trip was made with a view to obtaining first hand information ns to the acreage, the condition of the crops at this time, and to get in closer touch with both the growers and warehousemene of this section. They report the crop in fine condi tion, regardless of the rainy season, and the farmers are more than pleased with their prospect for a ; good tobacco crop. Additional barns have been erected and rooms to prop ; erly handle and care for tobacco as it is taken from the barns. At this time it looks as if the tobacco crop will be the farmers’ salvation this year, as the rainy weather kept them ; from succeeding with their other crops as they do in ordinary years. Slayer of Girl to Be Tried in October * WASHINGTON.
