THE PRIMARY NEXT TUESDAY. Th presidential primary will be held in Georgia next Tuesday, April UOth. There arc three candidates in thc- field between whom the voters of the state are to choose. Attorney General Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania, is the administra tion candidate. He gives his unquali fied endorsement to the Wilson ad ministration, and favors the league of nations us advocated by the pres ident. He is an able and fearless democrat, and made a most pleasing impression upon those who hoard him speak during his recent visit to Georgia. Senator Hoke Smith ask- the peo ple of Georgia to endorse him their choice for the democratic nomi nation for president. He endorses the Wilson administration in part, but is opposed to the league of nations without reservations. He thinks the democrats would make a mistake if they went before the country endors ing the league of nations as it was sent to the senate by the president. He is making a tour of Georgia pre .senting his position to the voters, and the reports are that he is speaking to large crowds. Hon. Thosmas E. Watson is a can didate as the opponent of the Wilson administration in tolo, and is unal terably opposed to the league of na tions. These are the three candidates be tween whom the voters of Georgia are to decide Tuesday. The voters of Baldwin county have shown very little interest in the elec tion up to day. From what the Union Recorder can learn all three of the candidates have followers in this county. Senator Smith has always carried Baldwin county in his guber natorial and senatorial races, but many of those who have hitherto been his suporters are not with him in this race, a;; they think he has made a mistake in the position he has taken againat the administration. But he has numbers of friends who are true and loyal to him, and on the other hand there are those who have never voted for him before but Mill do so this year. The supporters of the administra tion are strong in Baldwin county, THE SLIPPERY BOCHF.S. A ter the armistice many Ajjeri-i :ans felt that justice had been de-> t\ ated by the failure to carry the i war into Germany itself. They! bought that in wholly escaping the miseries brought upon innocent Bel • gium and France the Germans had got off too easily. This feeling has since been modified by Germany’s in ternal troubles—-riots, attempted revolutions, scarcity of food, depre ciation of currency, and fear of the spreading leprosy of bolshevism. But there is still the apprehension, well grounded and growing, that Ger many wilt take advantage of the lack of unity and consequent let-bi* poli cy of the allies to slip out of her treaty obligations one after another, a process already boldly begun with every evidence of success. The refusal to surrender the war criminals; for trial is only one in- stance. According to the watchful French, •w'ho with good reason are nervously apprehensive, Germany has taken no steps toward the execu tion of thirty-six clauses of the trea ty on which the time limit has expir 'd. The surface fleet was surrender 'd as demanded, there being no way ‘o dodge that necessity at the time, mt the delivery of submarines has :dy been partly executed, while nothing at all has been done in the matter of delivery of arms and mu- mtions. It seems that the Germans voided the delivery of arms at the et time by pleading that they pre- "erred to destroy them. Whether the allies blindly con- onted or left the matter undeter mined is not stated, but, instead of lestroying, the Germans proceeded -I hide their war material. And now he news comes that •‘1,500 three-inch h hi gun.-; have just been found by he Interallied Commission, hidden in 'u vicinity of Berlin alone and that o far 12,000. of these guns have ! covered throughout Germany ; well as 0,000 airplanes intact, al- hough under the terms of the .treaty he German army should now have v 2o 1 three-inch guns and no air planes ! The determination to slip out of accepted treaty obligations is shown n numerous other instances, inclini ng failure to reduce the armed force to 200,000 men. It begins to look as •f the allies must either apply the •trong hand or permit the treaty re quirements to become a farce.—Val dosta Times. SWITCHMEN’S STRIKE CONTINUES TO SPREAD Condition* Somewhat Improved in Chicago District, New York Ha* Received Food Shipments and Milk Trains Manage to Keep Moving “GREED AND POWER. - ’ The Campaign Executive Commit- :co of the American Federation of Labor announces in a circular that it s the duty of the Federation’s mem ber; Lip to nominate and elect trade union candidates this year because •‘the rights of labor have been seri ously menaced by many present hold ers of political place," and “greed Hiil power have sought to distort ev ery process to the end that human ispirations may be suppressed and human welfare made secondary to profits and plunder." No d6ubt organized labor will re- ;pond in the spirit that is urged, but ,t will hardly require any back break ing in the process In fact, organized labor has good reason to believe not only that it is pretty comfortably .veil off but that the country is at its mercy. From 1917 to 1920 the wages of •abroad employes were increased a billion dollars, and yet they have the assurance to demand still another billion of increase. This is but one instance of “the suppression of hu man aspiration” by the soulless agents of “profits and plunder." The shoe of “menace” is on the other foot. While so-called workingmen are wearing silk undershirts at $17 each paid for out of excessive wages and the “new poor” (salaried middle class workers) are hurrying to the pawnshops to bridge over their crowding difficulties, the latter may well be pardoned if they entertain some slight suspicion that “greed and power" have passed from the capitalists and taken up their abode within the ranks of organized labor. There is a noticeably hollow ring to this announcement of the cam paign committee of the American Federation of Labor.—The Valdosta WASHINGTON, April 1.7.
