LOSES FIGHT TO
■ WATSON
Slade Wanted the House to
Recall Invitation, But His
Move Is Defeated.
T(inl Watson, the sage of McDuffie,
--held his reputation as a source of
worr? to certain persons today in the
legislature and. as is not unusual, came
cut unscathed.
■,|r Watson had been invited, at his
pun suggestion, to speak in the house
tomorrow on "issues of the day.” Rep
reeeniative Slade, of Muscogee, at the
opening of the session today, launched
mto ' igorous objection, declaring that
he understood Watson was going to
take advantage of the opportunity to
pt tack a great church, and he resented
it bitterly.
Representative Massengale, of War
ren. who introduced the original reso
extending the invitation, assert
ed that it was only a courtesy to the
McDuffie man. extended at his own
suggestion, and. as far as he knew, Mr.
Watson «as going to talk on the Bris
tow amendment.
In spite of this plea. Mr. Slade moved
f , ir a reconsideration, but Mr. Murphy,
~t Bulloch, objected and the invitation
stands.
Mi Massengale took a dig at the
politicians in the course of his talk,
declaring that when they needed Wat
son they took good care to be awfully
nice, but when Mr. Watson wanted a
pule something it was otherwise. He
declared- that Mr. Watson was a well
known personage and that the legisla
ture might well give consideration to
anything he might say.

CITY LITERATURE
LIBRARY URGED
Taylor Would Collect Informa
tion on Municipal Works in
Other Towns.
A library of municipal literature, a
collection of the official publications of
the larger cities of America, is pro
posed by Walter Taylor, city clerk, who
offered today to get and maintain such
a library if the city council would au
thorize it and provide space for It in
the city hall.
“We need such a library.” said Mr.
Taylor. "We are constantly writing to
various cities for information on this
subject and that. Almost every day we
receive an inquiry from some other
city in regard to some detail of Atlanta
work already printed in a report of
some board, committee or department.
’if' Atlanta nad a new piece of con
struction work under consideration, the
experts could go through tlie reports
from other cities, see what they have
done, how they were satisfied, and get
valuable information, perhaps saving
the city a great deal of money.
"New York has a splendid municipal
library, covering every important city
in the country. We could build up one,
not so large, which would answer our
purposes. It need not cost the city
anything, as other municipalities. are
glad to send us their reports as they
are issued.”

Come Quick---They Are Going Fast
KING HARDWARFcOMFaNY
53 Peachtree Street
H. H. PERRY, CANDIDATE FOR
UNITED STATES SENATOR
Discusses the County Unit Plan in State Pri
maries, and Points Out the Mistakes of the
Executive Committee in Not
It as to the Senatorial Primary.
The county unit plan is the only
just, the only wise method of deciding
on any candidate or on any measure.
It gives a better balance expression
of public! sentirhent.
The plurality plan is not only unjust
to the country counties, but is more
apt to result in a one-sided expression.
It is not a wise policy to cause the
people of any county to feel that their
votes will be reduced to insignificance
by the immense plurality vote of the
large cities. It would discourage
their Interest in public affairs and
their contribution, often much needed,
to the proper solution of public ques
tions.
It is better for the maintenance of
free institutions that there should be
many centers of political thought and
activity than that political power
should be concentrated at a few points.
This principle lies at the foundation
of our Federal system, which seeks to
avoid too great concentration of pow
er, always fatal to liberty, and to guar
antee to each local state, however
small, its part in the government. It is
this feature which has won the admira
tion of all students of our government.
The same principle should be applied to
county units. It is so preserved by our
constitution in our legislative sys
tem and should be in our primary elec
tion.
It is all tlie more important when
we consider that the agricultural inter
est is our main interest and, there
fore, should be fairly represented in the
administration of the government and
that this interest finds its only voice
through the votes of the country coun
ties.
1 can not understand why this should
be recognized by the executive com
mittee in the selection of the governor
and state house officers, and ignored
in the selection of a United States sen
ator, an office of such vital signifi
cance. Why should not the country
counties be entitled to their proper
voice in one as in the other? Besides.

as. to the candidates, it is an unfair
discrimination.
The bill introduced by Mr. Adams,
of Hall, seeks to remedy this anomaly
and this injustice apd to fix the county
unit plan in our primary system.
Whatever may be the. fate of the
Bristow amendment, thia bill gives us
the election of the United States sen
ator by the people. Anything short of
it leaves us with the name and not the
substance.
The manipulation of the methods of
nomination by party committees and
caucuses In the interest of some can
didate has been the source of great
dissatisfaction among the people with
both the present political parties, and
it Is this dissatisfaction so created
which is the hope of Roosevelt today.
It is better to regulate all this by law
and leave no room for complaint or
suspicion.
If the people have a right to elect
their officers, they have the right to
regulate the manner of their nomina
tion. They have asserted this right
all over the country by laws regulating
the time and manner of holding pri
maries and of selecting candidates, and
such laws have been readily sustained
by the courts. They are perfectly con
sistent with ,pur constitution and sys
tem of government.
As to the recent action of the exec
utive committee, it was without doubt
honestly intended. 1 mean no reflec
tion upon them. Some are my personal
friends, and. I am proud to say. my
supporters. It was simply unwise, and
done, perhaps, without much reflection
amid many other matters absorbing at
tention.
I, have never thought it proper as a
candidate, either personally or through
others, to appear before any execu
tive committee to urge any particular
action.
I have a right to expect fair play
without asking it.
