The executive and campaign
committees of the Young Men’s
Democratic league of Fulton
county. Friday evening adopted
resolutions calling upon F. H.
Saffold, of Emanuel county, to
resign as candidate for elector
from the state at large. These
resolutions were adopted because
of the fact that Mr. Saffold, who
was recently selected by the,
State Democratic executive com
mittee to be a candidate for elec
tor from the state at large on trie
Democratic electoral ticket, is
confessedly antagonistic toward
the Democratic presidential no
minnee and certain of the party’s
policies. It was Mr. Saffold, who
at the meeting of the state exe
cutive committee, sought to have
passed resolutions pledging the
state Democratic electoral vote to
Thomas E. Watson, the Populist
nominee for president.
