It's none other than our good '
friend BerjJamln J. Davis, edlt9r of
the Atlanta Independent, and former
O. O. PrNatlonal Committeeman
pf Georgia. But this time Ben lias
brought the wrath of Negro editors
down upon his head, by saying right
out In company, that he would re- .
fuse re-nomlnatlon to the Committeeman's
position which he once. held,
and that he believes that any Negro
who accepts it will be framed and
thrown Into the penitentiary as was v .
Perry Howard.
Negro editors-regard the maneuver
as playing to the gallery of Georgia
