We are reproducing below Mi
Howell’s letter which was orderei
placed in the record, together with
i brief synopsis of a sitniliar con¬
test before the state committee las:
week.
It seems from arguments by Mr.
Barrett's attorney's that no county
committee lias jurisdiction to r<
quire ruti-over primaries in officer
from Representative to U. S. Sen
ate.
Thecominitsee’s decision on the
run-over primary was disallowed
because they thought it should b
referred to a higher authority, tlit

mittee.

A copy of the minutes of the
Contest Committee of the tit a e
Democratic Executive Committee
was read and placed in record,
which we are informed was a simi¬
lar contest heard here yesterday be¬
tween Mr. Barrett and Mr, White
and was briefly as follows:
VV, V. Parrymore against L. D
Rhodes forRepresentative ofBleck
iey County. The above conte-t
was heard fully and upon due con¬
sideration by the committee, the
committee declared the content in
favor of L. 1 ). Rhodes and declar¬
ed him the nominee for Represen¬
tative from the County ofBleckley
The above decision was rendered
in favor of Dr. Rhodes upon the
legal ground that the StatePrimary
law was in conflict with the rules
laid down by the County Execu¬

Committee had no authority to cull
j a second primary.

Workers Push Drive For
Needed in Doubtful Sta es.
Atlanta, Ga., (LKS) With
Governor Roosevelt’s visit toGeor
gia stimulating democratic enthnsi
asm to the highest pitch workers
in the campaigns, to raise this
state’s campaign quota to back the
Roosev’-t fight in doubtful states,
redoubled their efforts in ail parts
of the state uccordingto reports re
ceived at headquarters.
Charles B. Shelton,Georgia state
chairman of the Roosevelt Business
and Professional League, after a
conference with judicial circuit
chuirmeu held during the demo¬
cratic rally at Atlanta, announced
that no effort would be spared to
set a new record in memberships
during the lemaining days of the
campaign.
Ryburn G. Clay, president of
the Fulton National Bank, state
director of finance, lias received
word from his associate directors
of finance that they will not cease
their efforts but will work with re
nevved energy during the rest of
the campaign to get as many con¬
tributions as possible.
Mr. iSheltoti said every dollar
will be. needed as the battles in
some of the doubtful stales art
growing hotter as the republicans
are making desperate efforts to line
up tlie rank and file^of republican
voters.
“We do not want to relax one
minute” Mr. Snclion said. “If
Georgia and other southern states
fail the national committee there is
grave danger that they will lo-e
some of tlie states now considered
safe for Roosevelt. Tin's is a situa¬
tion that we do not want to arise
and with victory virtually won we
want to Irfid it. The best way to
hold this victory is for all of those
who have failed thus far to join
the Roosevelt Business and Pro¬
fessional League to take out mem
bership immediately ”
Mr, Clay had a good word to
say about the loyal work done by
the associate directors of finance
and said he particularly nppreciul
ed the fact that they are continu¬
ing right along in the campaign
and will not stop until election day
“These men are working with
out any pay or reward arid their
services have been invaluab e” Mi
Clay said. ‘ 1 am glad that we
have so many fine men in Georgia
who are willing to take time off
from the personal busines- and t
make many sacrifices so that tli -y
can help the party in its national
fight.”
Mr. Shelton and Mr. Clay also
expressed appreciation of the work
the newspapers of Georgia have
done in forwarding their cam¬
paigns. They said the newspaper-,
have not only devoted much spice
to the cause but that editors had
taken tlie field in person to help
obtain subscriptions to tlie national
campaign fund.
Among the couutirs that report
ed complete subscriptions of their
quotas during the week were Meri¬
wether, Peach and Floyd,
