>
a Democratic Leaders Refusing
To Be Lined Up for His Pro
gram to Run Convention.
Disquieting rumors began reaching
Atlanta today to the effect that not a
t few county chairmen in the state are
difficulty framing up Under
wood delegations to the state conven
tion, for the reason that numerous lead
ing and influential Underwood men ate
refusing to serve as delegates
i The reasons for these refusals run as
Bit approximate whole in one direction
—the fear that the pugnacious and ag
gressive attitude of Thomas E Watson,
with respect to the organization and
proceedings of the convention, likely
will lead to many embarrassing and
harrassing complications.
Discussing this matter today, one
prospective delegate, who will not now
v agree to serve, said: "There has -arisen
a serious question in my mind as to
whether the state convention Is to meet
in the hall of the house of representa
tives at noon on May 29 or in the Kim
ball house ball room on the evening of
May 28, under the superintendence of
Thomas E. Watson."
Not Party to ''Swallowing.”
"I have no desire whatever to serve
* tn a Populist convention —nor yet a
Watson convention. If Mr. Watson is
going to gather his clans together on the
evening preceding the holding of the
convention, and then and there frame
up everything that is to happen next
day. and the convention next day is to
swallow it meekly and without protest,
whether it likes It or not, I am not
willing to be a party to the swallow
ing.
f "I admit the justice of Mr. Watsons
plea for a place on the delegation to
Baltimore. If he displttyed anything
like a. desire to serve a useful purpose
on the delegation, all right; but he is
frankly and avowedly out to ipakc mis
chief. He seems much more interested
in reading the riot act to .somebody in
side the Democratic party than he docs
I in overwhelming the Republican party
at the polls next November. H<- has
.announcer! his determination to tai.
hold of the entire show in Atlanta, and
to run it his way. or break it up.
"The very first thing he propose- in a
Democratic state convention in which
he asks membership, and from which he
expects to go to Baltimore as a na
tional Democratic delegate, is 'hat th-
Democratic convention abrogate s and
violate the results of a rule solemnly
set up by a state Democratic com
mittee, and under which the Democrats
of Georgia already have held an elec
tion.
"However 111 advised that rule may
have been, it already has been acted
under. How can the organization of
the convention in fairness m political
honesty now be changed to a plan ex- j
prcssly forbidden In th- state Dome,
cratic committee'.’
“To he perfectlv frank about it. it
looks to me like Mr. Watson is seeking
to fill the forthcoming i-wnvention with
as many Wilson ‘soreheads' as possible,
in order that he may have such allies a
he needs to work the party's embarrass
ment and chagrin eventually.*
4 Underwood Leadfits Vexed.
There is no longer any doilht what
evei that M.' Watson's altitude with
respect to the slate convention has
brought the t'nderwood leaders many
unhappy and anxious momunls within
the past few days.
When first he said h< wouldn't go to
j Baltimore, and Ih-tt said he would.
hasty and hearty protests were made |
that he should have what he wanted.
Erstwhile Underwood leaders "f state
wide reputation stood for the justice of
the Watson claims to recognition in th,'
state convention, and said he should go
as a delegate to Baltimore.
Now that it transpires, .however, that
Mr. Watson not only wants and fully
intends —to “head the delegation to
Baltimore,” hut that he likewise pro
poses to superintend the organization -if
the state convention, name its tempo
rary and permanent chairman, and so
forth, an ominous silence has fallen
upon the T'nderwood camp, and not a.
pro-Watson chirp was foithcoming
* from tit at quarter today.
MOONFLOWERS
Them aie thousands of porches in Atlanta exposed
to the full glare of the hoi afternoon summer sun.
The porches are unendurable themselves, and the
inside of the house gets unnecessarily hot also,
Why not trade off that condition sot solid summer
comfort?
We have a superb stock of plants of the mag
nificent White Moonflower at
10 CENTS, 3 FOR 25 CENTS
Hardly anything in the way of a vine will cover your
porch quicker and make a dense shade that will
protect you fullv from the summer sun than Moon
flowers planted'every two feet around your porch,
Shade by day and fairly covered with immense pure
white flowers, often five to six inches in diameter,
during the night.
Plant a few of them now,

made at a luncheon priven the kaiser by
Baron Zorn von Bulach. secrotur'- for Al

agitation in the province, the kaiset said:
“Look here, gentlemen, if this con-

other side before long. Things can
not continue as they are now !

; ’hat the Alsace parliament passed a vote
