THURSDAY. MAY 27. 1920.
Stealing in Georgia.
Not content with stealing from Mr.
Palmer the delegates he had won in the
preferential primary a few weeks ago,
when he defeated Hoke Smith and Tom
Watson fttr an instructed delegation to
San Francisco, the Georgia Democratic
convention went a stepfuther last week
by passing a resolution expressing opposition
to the League of Nations and
electing Thomas W. Hardw>ck one of
the "big four" to the national convention,
thus giving aid and encouragement
to the Republicans one would not have
expected from any body of men calling
themselves Democrats. Surprise would
have been universal had these things
happened in South Carolina. Combining
their forces, Smith and Watson,
who are most of the time about as far
apart politically as the poles are geopraphically,
were able to dominate the
convention and deprive Mr. Palmer of
the delegates he was entitled to. At the
polls more than a third of the voters who
took part in the primary supported the
attorney general. In all fairness he
was therefore entitled to at least onethird
of the delegates to the national
convention u' d it is nothing short of an
outrage that he is thus deprived of the
fruits of the victory he had fairly won.
For reasons of expediency Mr. Palmer
may not be the most available candidate
for the party nomination, but that is a
matter for the national convention to
decide and it furnishes the Georgia
convention no excuse for turning thief.
Mr. Palmer is an honest, able Democrat,
who has fought for the party in
his native State, Pennsylvania, without
further hope of reward there than a
seat in the national house of representatives,
which he filled for several years
with credit to himself and in a way
that commended to the country the
good sense of the constituency that
elected him. He is entitled to and
worthy of fair treatment at the hands
of every fellow Democrat in the coun
iry. it is a reflection on the entire
South that he should have been the victim
of the machinations of crooked politicians
in a Southern State.
Almost of a piece with the treatment
of Mr. Palmer, however, was the action
of the Georgia convention in following
the leadership of Thomas W. Hardwick
an I sending to San Francisco a
delegation, with Haidwick at its h?ad,
bearing a resolution expressing unalterable
opposition to the League of Nations,
submitted to the senate by President
Wilson as ,a part of the Ver
sailles iieaoe treaty. This is the same
Thomasv W. Hardwick who in the last
election of a United States senator in
Georgia was ingloriously beaten for reelection
by Senator Ha ris, largely b? cause
of his alleged disloyal utterances
and his alliliation with the Republics s
in opposition to war measures advocat...i
i... .i- ; -
ni I >_V Hie lirMUlflU,
Since the foregoing was written the
secretary <>f the Georgia Democratic
executive committee ha forwarded to
tiie national executive committee in
Washington the official certificate of the
State committee issuing credentials to
the full I'almer delegation from Georgia
to the San Francisco convention ?
which means that the Smith-WatsonHard
wick delegates will go to the
convention as contestants. They are
not apt to lie given seats in the convention.
Republicans at Sea.
W Ph the Republican national convention
less than a fortnight away, the
leaders of the "grand old party" are
floundering around hopelessly for issues
on which to go before the country in
the presidential election next fall.
Having frittered away the last fourteen
montiis as the majority party in both
houses of Congress, without having enacted
one piece of constructive legislation.
hut having devoted the major part
of the time smelling around in vain
search for wrongdoing on the part of
the Democrats in the conduct of the
^ war, Isslge, Penrose. Borah, Johnson,
? I.a Follette et al. now tind the time
almost at hand when they must give
A. t
I ' ' '
' substantial reasons in the platform to
be adopted at Chicago why the confidence
of the country in taking their
promises of 1918 at face value was not
misplaced. The Republicans are on the
defensive and so far as is known the
party is nut committed to even a single
proposition, except the rejection of the
peace treaty, which they lack the courage
to undertake to make an issue.
Perhaps the platform will reiterate the
party's belief in the protective tariff,
but as an issue the tariff is dead; the
country has no stomach for the subject.
Of course there will be the usual pointing
with pride to the party's achievements,
which in this case means nothing.
So the platform will necessarily
contain much about "Democratic inefficiency,"
charging the administration
with the high cost of living. Right
there, however, appears the death's
head at the banquet, for the country is
certain to want to know what laws have
been passed by Congress during the last
year to protect the people from the
profiteers and grafters. The Republicans
must present a progressive platform,
based upon party accomplishments
during the last year, otherwise
the country will be slow to indorse its
candidates.
