FRIDAY. MAY 1. 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.

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. Remedy Mathers Who Took i it] When Children Now Giving it to Their Children. 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. Thousands of families throughout 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.
