URGES CHANGE
PRIMARY RULES
Chairman Harris Sends Letter
Asking a Second Meeting in
Interest of Party.
Washington. D. C.—Wiliam J. Harris,
says a special to the Constitution, chair
man of the state democratic executive
committee mailed out today a letter to
each member of the committee in refer
ence to another meeting- to change the
rules of the state primary.
Harris believes that it s of great
importance to amend the rule 9 to insure
a majojrity of the voters choosing the
two United States senators and a gover
nor rather than that they should be
chosen by the state convention.
Since the publication of his original
Interview, Mr. Harris has received sev
eral letters endorsing his stand.
His letter follows:
Letter Chairman Harris.
“Washington, D. C., April 29.—We
have never before had such an import
ant primary in Georgia. We are to
nominate a governor and two United
States senators. There are already sev
eral candidates for governor and several
candidates tor the unexpired term of
Senator Bacon and it is probable that
no candidates will receive a majority of
the votes of the delegates on the first
ballot at the state convention.
“The state convention which elected
the present executive committee de
clared in favor of the county unit rule,
and I do not believe the committee has
the authority to change this, even if
they so desire.
“The rules adopted t the recent
meeting of the state democratic execu
tive committee would probably have been
satisfactory in the p.ist few years, as
heretofore there have been only two or
three candidates for governor and United
States senator and one candidate has al
ways received a majority of the total
votes cast, or a majority of the dele
gates selected under the county unit sys
tem. Under the present rule the con
vention could nominate the candidate re
civlng the smallest number of votes for
governor.
Might Lead to Combination.
“It might lead to combinations which
would nominate candidates who could
not carry a dozen counties in the state
if left to a vote of the people. An
other serious objections to the present
rule is that it would give the successful
candidate for governor too much author
ity in naming the senators in the event
of a deadlock as the delegates would be
chosen from among his friends.
“It has been suggested that if a can
didate lacks only a few' votes of be ! ng
nominated over all the candidates in the
convent on and received a majojrity of
the total votes of the state, that he be
declared the nominee.
“The fact that he received a majority
of votes over all the candidates in the
primary would indicate that he would be
nominated over any one candidate In the
second primary.
“Thus rule, if adopted, would save the
expense second primary, this is
merely a suggestion. The lease of West
ern and Atlantic railroad to be made
during next four years will be the most
important work coming before any gov
ernor-in Georgia in the next half cen

“If the convention should make an
unfortunate nomination, it would give

Majority of Delegates.
“It seems to me that the committee
should be called together and the rules
changed so as to require a candidate to
have a majority of delegates In order to;
be nominated.
"In Alabama. South Carolina, Plor da. |
and many other states if no candidate
receives a majority of the votes in the i
first primary, the two candidates receiv- j
ing the highest number of votes ,must
enter the second primary, and the one,
then receiving a majority of votes is the
nominee.
“The state convention is held just
after the second primary* I have dis- j
cussed this matter with some members
of the committee, and they have similar
view's.
“Please let me know your view s. If j
you think the committee should be call
ed together to consider this matter. |
please write me what you think would
be satisfactory for the meeting.
“Of course in the event I dec’de to be I
a candidate for governor. I shall take
no part in the meeting, and shall resign
from the committee.
“With assurances of high regards, I
am, Yours very sincerely,
“WM. J. HARRIS. Chairman.

There must be genuine merit to an
article that has stood the test o£ two
generations of users.
In the field of medicine none has
had greater success, nor retained that
success to a greater degree, than Dr.
Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, which is now
being used by three generations of peo
ple. Its use in families is constantly
becoming more general. The reason,
primarily, is that it has merit. It is
what it represents itself to be, a lax
ative-tonic; it does not make exag
gerated claims nor use coarse lan
guage to set forth its virtues.
It is a medicine, but so mild and
gentle a medicine that thousands of
mothers give it to tiny infants, and
yet, in a slightly larger dose, it is
equally effective ifor grown-ups. It is
for any disorder of the stomach, liver
pr bowels, for constipation no matter
how chronic, for dyspepsia no matter
how severe, for biliousness, sour
stomach, gas on the stomach, head
aches, drowsiness after eating and
similar complaints arising from a
clogged-up condition of the bowels.
It is pleasant to the taste and does
not gripe. It can be used with safety
and good results by anyone at any age
or in any condition of health, and that
person’s health will improve. Every
druggist sells it and the price is only
fifty cents and one dollar a bottle.

THE BIJOU
The Bijou’s variation from vaudeville
to musical comedy offered patrons
change which was all to the good. Hal
Johnson in “O Hook Who’s Here,” was
a scream. The play deals with a ma
trimonial mixup in which Johnson keeps
things stirring. As a female imperso
nator he ranks with Eltinge and he
knows when to quit. Suppprting him is
an exceptionally competent company In
which Alice Hamilton and Arthur Row
land star. Miss Hamilton takes the
role of an old maid and she is perfec
tion in it. The chorus while not large
is pretty and well gowned and received
a generous hand from the capacity
houses.
