house here next Monday to call
a primary for governor and Stale
house oflicers. on August 21. At
this meeting it will also be de
termined whether or not Chattoo

derstand that most of the candi

In file discussion of the bill
now pending in Congress lor re
quiring that all contributions to
political committees shall be re
ported to the Clerk of the House
of Representatives, some very
interesting statistical matter was
recently brought out. It was
shown that from the very begin
ning of its career the Republican
party has relied largely on the
Use of money in elections, and
that in 1896 its national eampa.gn
fund amounted to sixteen million
five hundred thousand dollars,
while that of the Denwr.- ’s
reached only $675,000. bn 19 ’■

The trouble with the state
Democratic executive committee
is they have seen the handwrit
ing on the wall, and tried to stern
the tide to save their candidate.
They have made a tremenduous
failure. Milledgeville Recorder.

The consensus of opinion seems
to be that the object of the state
•xecutive committee in placing
the “gag” on the ticket to bi
voted in the state primary was
to shut out former Populists.
Suppose that opinion is well
founded, are our friends who
formerly belonged to the Popu
ist party going to ’‘tumble to
the racket,” and play to their
hand?
In the first place that commit
tee of “fixers” had no right to
make such a rule- they knew
that. Hut while they were well
iware of that fact, they believed
that their unheard of and unfair
action would have the effect of
tngering the former Populists
and keeping them from the polls.
Now, the question is will our
good friends pursue the very
course that they believed and
Imped they would pursue?
If they get mad and absent
themselves from the polls and de
cline to vote, the committee us
urpers will chuckle and give each
other the knowing wink, and con
gratulate themselves on the fact
that their dirty little scheme
worked.
Then, the way to turn the thing
and make the committee fixers
mad, is to go to the pollsand vote
and vote for the man of your
choice.
Keep in mind the fact that a
pledge to that little clique of
thimble-riggers does not amount
>to a “bill of beans.”
They have no right to demand
of any voter, whether he be a life
long Democrat, Populist or what
not, any .pledge at all other than
that he will abide the result of
that primary election.
Many of the Courier’s friends
and readers are men who former
ly affiliated with the Populist/par
ty, and they are good men and
patriotic citizens better Demo
crats, many of them, than the
committee majority which under
takes to disfranchise them.
Knowing this, we call upon them
to ignore the contemptible littte
heading to the ticket it don’t
mean anything it is a miserable
trick go right m, strike out
the names of those for whom you
do not wish to vote, and then put
the ticket in head and all—for
the men of your choice.
This isthe only way to defeat
the tricksters they hope you
won't vote because they believe
that you are against them, but
vote with a clear conscience, re
membering that no matter what
may be printed on the ticket you
are only bound to abide the re
sult of that primary.
Friends, fellow citizens and
countrymen, let's all vote and
snow them forever under. We
cando it. and we will. Rockmart
Courier.
Bills have been introduced in
Congress suspending for one
y< ar the duties on structural
steel and other necessary mate
rials for use in the constuction
of buildings in San Francisco
and other Pacific Coast cities af
fected by the recent disasters.
This is the first political move
ment due to the earthquake. If
the stand patters have their way
these bills will be defeated, on
the principle that there must
no crack in the Dingley tariff
wall, lest people should descover
that it was not of divine origin.
It is all right to give money after
it has been collected from the
people by taxation, but it would
be sacrilege to allow anybody to
buy steel and lumber not pro
tected by a tariff tax
