I ' At the Democratic County Con vention held here today George tt. Walker was endorsed for the j nam' ,J!tata yict tate from the Thirty-Ninth Dis- by the Cherokee, Clay, Gra- gwam and Macon executive committees. The following were nominated: D.

Longlngood, County Commis sioners. leave Republicans to Fight tt Out Republican Independents are out for clerk of Superior Court, sheriff and register of deeds against the Republican nominees, so the Dem ocrats nominated no one for these offices. Grover C. Davis candidate for solicitor for this district, delivered an interesting address before the convention which brought forth much applause. During th course of his address Coaareasman Weaver was inter rupted many times by loud ap- nt.nM .nil tifiM the strictest at- ! tendon of his leader even though tpr wp crowded. Jtr Weaver, among other things ,Vt In speaking ot the present ad Shatratioa, that about . the - i,wltable thing that eauld be said Ikiteat It was that it waa ineapauie; riail the Republican party had often r toasted of Its constructive aDinty, but tnat wnen in? tei iam i of leadership was developed, not only in the chlef executive, bat in .both branches, of congress. ' He pofcited out what great Republican dallies said of this administration and especially the Boston Transcript, which had openly stated fn ita editorials that the present congressvhad been so incom petent that it dldvnot deserve a new lease of rower. In fact, Mr. Weaver' said that the country had outgrowtk the Republi can party; that It waaxnow a party of outgrown creeds and platforms; that while it had been buHded upon a protective tariff and the grant of apeclal privileges. It naa reached the Solnt that even the business men of the East now recognize that thsxac tlvltles of American trade were work I wide and they are now resentful thai shackles are attempted to be placed Dy this outgrown party, upon meri can commerce and industry. - He discussed the tariff and again pointed out what great Republican papers, such as the New York Trlb line, the New Tork Herald, and other leretoioro , hide-bound Kepumicaii papers, have to say. This or an times was not opportune for a high protective tariff; that with Europe Indebted to the United States to the extent of more than 112,000,000.000 to shut off trade was to shut off pay ment. He stated that men, such as Fordney, evidently believe that It is -a crime to Import an article Into this country, and that this policy meant 'lie distraction of America Interna tional trade. He stated that the Re publican party forgets' that the American farmer especially the wheat farmer, the producer of corn and cotton are merchants In a sense and must find a market for their great surplus In foreign countries; that we export one-third of the wheat we raise and nearly two-thirds of the cotton which we produce and that the Production of our mills and factories depend uoon the American market 'SSould mean that wheat goea to E0 fen's per bushel and cotton to six .Cents. MP-tvound.- and- that in fact there would be no market for a great ortion of our agricultural articles Ind that this would mean that the Armers could not by the 'manufac red products and that our mills would be Idle and that stagnation would result. 'He pointed out that the Republican policy of shutting out foreign Imports not only means the destruction of trade, but 'that- the American manufacturer Is 'given an absolute monopoly, of the home mar kets and that the tariff bill recently enacted, upon all estimates, will cost the American people from three to four billion dollars each year, while It "will produce revenue for the treas ury of less than four hundred mil lion. He said the Republican party had never before had a real task set for It and that when the test came It failed all along the line. In contrast with this record of the Republican party he. called attention to the record of the Democratic party both in peace and war. "No party ever achieved so much In so short a time as dkt the Democratic party under Wood row Wilson after the time r hi. inauvuratlon in 1913 nntil America's entrance Into the war," he 1 aald. "It was this leglalation that enabled ua to- carry on successfully .me greatest m u.w., la thla leglalation that naa saved the nation during these dsys of reaction after the war."

The railroads, however, secured a 45-day stay of certification, riv ing them time to perfect their au- real from the ruling to the United States Supreme Court. That stay ft.rbids the certificating of any amount of the appraisement. The st:iiggle, therefore, result ed in a sort of dogfall, the stato winning on one count, losing in the matter of a stav.
