wear his clothes? You see we
were sorely distressed, and our
thoughts ran trom the rivers to the
end of the earth, trying, as it were,
to comprehend the mysteries of
this great thing that has come
under the sun, and we found no
one, even among the sooth sayers
or astrologers, who could make
known to us or interpret the mean¬

Absolute Loyalty Mandatory,
Says Maddox Letter
Savannah, Ga., August 9 -(AP)
—It is within the power of a coun¬
ty democratic committee to declare
the nomination of a candidate for¬
feited “if any nominee takes a po¬
sition inconsistent with the require¬
ments to qualify himself as a can¬
didate in the party,” Ed Maddox,
state democratic executive commit¬
tee chairman, declared he believed,
in a letter to David S. Atkinson,
chairman of the Chatham county
democratic committee, made pub¬
lic by the latter today.
DJr. Maddox letter was in reply
to a,request from Mr. Atkinson for
an interpretation of Rules 1 and 5,
controlling candidates in demo¬
cratic primaries. Mr. Atkinson on
receipt of the letter declared the
Chatham committee would follow
“the literal rules of the party.”
Mr. Maddox in his letter said :
“As I construe the rules, espe
cia^y in the light of the custom for
many years, there is a wide differ¬
ence between Rule 2 as to qualifi
cuttbas ol the voters in tlie pri
raW|y, and Rule 5 as to the qualifi
cetpps of a candidate running in
the-primary. 1 agree very thorough¬
ly wi(h your committee in its posi¬
tion that no person is qualified to
become a candidate in the primary
election of September J2, unless he
bona fide declares that he is a valid
member and adherent to the demo¬
cratic party in both state and na¬
tional politics. The rule is plain.
The custom of the party in the past,
especially in state affairs, has been
that every candidate must be quali¬
fied in accordance with this rule.
“Whether or not a person nomi¬
nated at the former primary will be
entitled to be named as a democrat¬
ic candidate in the general election
and be listed on the democratic
ticket, if lie now repudiates the
national democratic ticket, raises a
situation which, so far as I tun in¬
formed, has never before arisen in
this state and which was not con¬
templated or covered by the rules
adopted by the state committee.
Rule 5 provides that no person
shall be deemed a candidate in the
primary unless he is a valid mem¬
ber and adherent of the democratic
party i« both state and national
politics. The primary at which
the nominees for county officers
were named is passed and the nom¬
inees no doubt declared.
“The question therefore resolves
itself into a question as to the right
of the committee to declure to that
nomination forfeited.
Power of Committee
“In view of the fact that a man
cannot participate in the primary
unless lie is an adherent of the
party of both state and national
politics, and is thus asking for the
honors of the party and a position
of leadership in the party, it is
contemplated that he should remain
a democrat ; and it seems to ine
that if any nominee takes a posi¬
tion inconsistent with the require¬
ments to qualify himself as a can¬
didate in the party, that it would
be within the power of the county
committee to declare this nomina¬
tion torfeited.
“I cannot see how any man can
conscientiously claim to be a nomi¬
nee of n party and ask for the sup¬
port of the party, when he himself
refuses to recognize and support
the nominees of the party on the
nationul ticket. Such a position is
so inconsistent and illogical that 1
cannot see how any man can con¬
scientiously place himself in such a
position and if he does so, it seems
to me that in justice to the party
he should resign his nomination, or
if he fails to do so thut the party
committee could exercise its power
a* above indicated,”

In replying to Mr. Maddox, Mr.
Atkinson said in part :
“Our local committee will follow
the literal rules of the party, but
some of the county committees,
while retaining the name democrat¬
ic, are republican in majority, and
carry republicans as nominees of
the democratic party, on the demo¬
cratic ticket. These conditions
should be called to account by the
state committee, and no person
should be carried as a candidate on
the democratic ticket who will not
support the democratic nominees.
One has no right to claim the sup¬
port and prestige of the party
when he repudiates the party him¬
self.”
