The Editor has not been able to give his usual time and at¬
tention to the arduous yet pleasant duties of The Courier
this week, due to the stork visiting our home Saturday morn¬
ing und leaving a very sweet and lovely little girl to kindle
the home ties more closely and engender a deeper feeling of
responsibility than those heretofore resting upon us.
This new comer into our home has been given the name of
Barbaru Anne.
Yes, we can now sympathize with ’‘Walt” as he waited all
but patiently for the outcome of that trying ordeal.
The editorship of The Courier now has a deeper responsi¬
bility and we assure you that we will do our utmost to give
you a better newspaper.

Maddox Interprets Rules
Governing Yoters and Candidates
Rome, Ga., August i8th, 1988.
Hon. J. YV. II, Underwood,
Cleveland, Ga.
My Dear Sir :
J beg to acknowiege receipt of
your letter of the 16th instant, I
noticed the statement of Mr. How¬
ard to which you refer. I am en¬
closing you herewith copy of the
rules ot the State Democratic Ex¬
ecutive Committee, and call your
attention to rule five which pro¬
sifies that no person shall be deem¬
ed a candidate in the primary un
lass he is a “valid member and ad¬
herent of tlie Democratic Party in
both State and National Politics.”
The concluding clause of rule
eleven confers upon the County,
Senatorial and Congressional Com.
mittees the power to levy assess¬
ments and fix closing dates. This,
latter clause, to my mind, illus¬
trates the policy of the Party
which has uniformly been followed
by the Slate Executive Committee,
so far as I know, to confer exclu¬
sive jurisdiction upon local com¬
mittees in local matters the State
Committee retaining jurisdiction
only in matters pertaining to Stale
affairs. The rules of the State
Committee set forth generally the
Party policy, and it is and has been
my opinion that the proper thing
is to leave with the local committees
the question of handling the situ¬
ation in their own respective com¬
munities.
My own interpretation of rule
two with reference to qualification
of voters is that a person voting in
the September primary merely
pledges himself to support the
nominees of that primary. I base
this interpretation on the long es¬
tablished custom pursued through
a period of years in permitting
every white elector to vote iu our
primaries regardless of his political
affiliations in National affairs. YVe
have expressly or impliedly invited
all white voters to participate iu
our primaries and they have done
so for many years past, and the
effect has been that we have settled
all of our State and local matters
in those primaries, and there has
been no organized opposition to
our nominees, except in a few iso¬
lated cases. Rule two itself ex¬
pressly says that the primary shall
be conducted in accordance with
the customs of the party. In my
opinion to take an arbitrary view
of the rights of the voter at the
present time would be disastrous
to the Democratic Party, It is just
what many of the opposition lead¬
ers would like best udder the pres¬
ent situation and I agree with you
that it would likely result iu iude*
dendent candidates in opposition
to otir nominees from Governor
down.
Personally 1 do not believe, how¬
ever, that any person should be
permitted to be a candidate in the
Primary who is not a Democrat.
There is a very wide difference be¬
tween the voter who merely seeks
to exercise the right ot franchise
and a candidate who is seeking the
honors of the Party and a position
of leadership in the party us a
party candidate.
\\ nii best wishes, I am,
Very truly yours,
G. E. Maddox
Chairman State Democratic Ex¬
ecutive Committee,
