THE CONGRESSIONAL RAGE
(From the Gainesville Herald)
Hon. Howard Thompson, bril¬
liant orator and a man who loves
his State and her people devotedly,
and who is as true a democrat as
ever defended the principles upon
which the party was founded by
uur fathers, has retired from the
congressional race that the demo¬
cratic vote may not be divided be¬
tween two loyal Democrats during
the present contest when there is so
much unrest in the country and
fierce local opposition to party suc¬
cess.
Congressman This leaves the Ihos, contest M. Bel! between and j
Hon. John I Kelley. j
As between the two none can
question which is the ttuer Demo¬
crat. measured by all the standards
of progressive Democracy.
For the Democrats of tho Ninth
Congressional district there is but
one choice, there can be but one
choice, and that choice is Hon.
Thomas M. Bell, faithful present
congreesiuui),who has never desert¬
ed a friend nor turned away a foe
in time of need.
The Herald has not always sup¬
ported Mr. Bell, but at no time in
his long public career has it failed
to feel that it could call upon him
for a public service with the assur¬
ance that the service would be
cheerfully rendered. Probably
ninety-nine men out of a hundred
who have opposed him in any or all
of bis races have ever felt the same
way.
He has always represented all
the people of the Ninth district and
has been untiring in his efforts to
them. We say this of him
to trust
and in acknowledgement of a most
generous nature that knows no
form of resentment in renderin offi¬
cial service, or (lie dispensing of re¬
quested favors.
Congressman Bell deserves to be
known as the Golden Hearted Con¬
gressman of Georgia, and those
words should be carved upon the
slab that marks his‘grave—his last
resting place. -
Yet however admirable a ganer
ous nature is, and however prone
we are to reward generosity, which
is one of the finest of the Christian
graces, generosity of itself is not
sufficient ground upon which to
base one’s support of a candidate
for Congress. Other qualifications
are necessary. The finer qualities
of one’s nature must be sustained
by mental force capable of analyz¬
ing issues, making safe decisions,
accomplishing constructive legisla¬
tion and securing the passage of
such measures as will redound to

ell of the Atlanta Constitution, replying

Mr. Holdert’’ Speaker John IT. Holder
of the House ef Representatives says the
. one condition upon which he will with¬
draw is that Mr. Howell will at once
withdraw from the race his candidate for
the United States Senate. Otherwiie Mr.
Holder declares he is in the race for gov
ernor to the finish and proposes to prose- j
cute his campaign more vigorously than i
ever. I
Declaring that he was first in the race !
for governor, having come in as a loyal J
Democrat to save the situation in Georgia
following a conference of his friends from j
all parts of the state, Mr. Holder says he j
does not propose to be eliminated now, j
when the reports which he quotes from
all sections of the state Bhow that he is
the strongest candidate, and that there is
every indication that he will win.
Mr. Holder asserts that there is no
gronnd or right upon which Mr. Howell
and Mr. Anderson, of the Macon Tele¬
graph can assume to “handpick’’ the

the benefit of constituents and
equalizing the distribution of fed¬
eral patronage, both constructive
and appointive. Congressman Bell
is endowed with shese qualifica¬
tions to a marked degree.
Mr. Bell’s long experience in
Congress, his knowledge of the
needs of the country and his famil¬
iarity with legislative procedure,
render him an exceptionally valu¬
able representative at this time,and
as the purity of his democracy can¬
not be questioned, his defeat, were
such n thing possible, would be a
public misfortune.
His opponent is seeking to capit¬
alize all elements of discontent and
i 8 j„ no sense in | laimony w j th
present day progressive democracy
and his election would be a victory
for the malcontents of all political
parties and of those who hold dear
the principles of no party, and who
seek to disrupt the democratic party
through the open door of a while
primary.
No simon-pure Democrat can af¬
ford to withhold his support from
Congressman Bell in this contest,
when the issue of the Democratic
party, the progressive party of the
nation, and the party that has ever
stood for white supremacy in the
South, is at the bar to be sustained
or repudiated at the polls three
weeks hence.
Every Democrat is expected to
do his duty in this contest to the
extent of hjs influence and vote to
bring to pass the defeat of thos,'
who would wreck the party and de
ssroy its influence as a state and
national organization.
Jasper Jayson Wed ol Heart Failure,
_
The heart s of the friends of Mr.
Jasper Jackson, who had been at
the home of his brother Jim, on
Shoal Creek for several months,
were saddened Tuesday when the
news of his death reached their
ears. Mr. Jackson died in bed be¬
tween the hours of 3 a. in. and
breakfast, when his brother Jim
found him dead in bed. An in¬
quest was held and it was found
that he came to his death by heart
failure. Some time before lie died
he told his brother that he was not
to live long, whereupon he knelt
down and prayed to his Creator to
care for his soul, and after which
he lived a total abstainer and de¬
voted his days to righteousness.
The many friends of the family
deeply sympathize with them in the
death of their loved one. His re¬
mains were laid to rest in Shoal
Creek cemetery Wednesday in the
presence of a large concourse of
friends and relatives.
candidates for governor and U. 8. Senat¬
or. Asserting that they forced the pres¬
ent situation by attempting to “hand¬
pick” a senator, and are now seeking to
deal similarly with the governor's office,
Mr. Hosier concludes as follows:
“Now, Mr. Howell, I am ready, willing
and anxious to do anything in my power
for my party, and 1 stand ready to re¬
lieve the embaraseing situation in Geor¬
gia; but ray withdrawal would accom¬
plish nothing unless the situation in the
senatorial race was also relieved at the
same time.
-‘Since you, my political enemy, have
seen fit to advise me what to do, now you
ad vise your friend and candidate to with
draw from the race for the senate, leav
ing only two in that race, and I stand
ready to meet your demand and wilh
draw instanter from the governor’s race.
"Unless, however, this is done, ami
done promptly, I am unable to see why 1
should be sacrificed for no purpose ex¬
cept to help your candidate for governor,
and not the Democracy of Georgia, and 1
shall be in the race to the finish, con¬
fidently believing that I shall be elected.”

CHECK UP MERCHANTS
(Front Baskin. Ky., Independent)
Local merchants in localities
where the rnasl order houses'are
pulling strongly may well be re¬
minded that these great trading me¬
diums obtain most of their results
from effective adertising ; therefore,
home merchants must advertise ad¬
equately if they are to successfully
meet this keen competition.
Sears-Roebuck Co have aoo girls
employed checking newspapers to
ascertain the volume find kinds of
advertising cifrried. In towns
where the local store advertising in
small, or otherwise unimportant
special campaigns are instituted
and bundles of literature are dis¬
tributed.
It is an actual fact that the chec
up system of Sears-Roebuck Co. re¬
veals that the business returns to
the company from towns where the
loci advertising in the home papers
is light are very high when compar¬
ed with recipls from localities
where the home merchants used
large amounts of space.
The lesson is plain. The local
merchants must fight fire with fire.
They must fight mail order propo
ganda with home town advertising
We all know that newspaper ad¬
vertising is the best form of adver¬
tising in a merchandise campaign.
'Various self-styled “merchandising
counsellors” assert that the mail

C«l. Kelley Given Respectful Hearing
V\ ednesday morning at the court
house in Cleveland, Col. John I.
Eel ley delivered an address to his
hearers, along the line of his former
addresses, in the interest of his can¬
didacy for congress.
llis attacks on the record of the
present incumbent, Mr. Bell, were
really ot email importance, but he
did encouch them in some well di¬
rected jokes.
He attacked most zealously the
freedom ol religious privileges in
the United States by severely at¬
tacking the Roman Catholic church
as though had he the power he
would put a ban on the Catholic
church, and in a lengthy discourse
gave a brief history of the Catholic
church in Europe during the past
2,520 years.
He told his heurers how the ad¬
ministration, during the past four
years had wasted money in every¬
thing ir did : how the boys were
sent across the sea in cattle boats
to Europe; how the espionage law
closed the mouths of men to the
expression of their minds on the
stump, in the pulpit and in the
newspapers, and thaf Mr, Bell hud
said in a recent speech that Con¬
go ss had repealed that law, but
that as the President had vetoed it,
it was still in effect, and hence it is
presumed that he is openly violat¬
ing that law in scoring the admin¬
istration and denouncing its war
policies.
Ilis audience numbered about
one hundred and twenty-five per¬
sons, including women and child¬
ren, who gave the speaker a most
respectful hearing. *

Hugh M. Dorsey
is going to lead the ticket in this light,
is going to be Georgia’s next United States
Senator. ■
There is no longer any question about it.
He is going to carry more than iox counties which elected
him to the governor’s chair.
Reports reaching Hugh M. Dorsey headquarters in the
Kimball House, every day of the campaign, forecast his
certain election.
Already strong Dorsey clubs have been organized in more
than eighty counties, and news of new Dorsey organiza¬
tions is coming daily.
In some of these counties more than half the regis¬
tered voters have signed up in the Dorsey Clubs.
In all of them the Dorsey Club membership indicates a
strength that will sweep the county for Hugh M. Dorsey
on September 8.
Hugh Dorsey is going to win for two reasons:
Because ot his splendid record of service to the people
Georgia in the governor’s office, and
Because he is the one true, tried and always loyal Demo¬
crat in the race.
He is standing squarely behind the national Democratic
platform and nominees, while Watson is opposing and
knifing the platform, and Hoke Smith is wobbling and
straddling at every turn of the wheel.
Hugh M. Dorsey is the man of “straight thinking” and
“straight acting”—the kind of man Governor Cox de¬
clared is needed in public office today.
