COUNTRY WILL BE DIVIDED UP DY PWFMMOO And When They Get to 'Fris 'Frisco - co 'Frisco the Well-Known Chant "We Want Wilson" May Sweep Convention The Atlanta Journal News Bureau, 623 Riggs Building. BY THEODORE TILLER WASHINGTON, D. C., March 4. It is possible now to reveal how At Attorney - torney Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer entered the presidential race with the consent of Woodrow Wilson and how th president, waiving any third term ambitions he may have had, has let down the administration bars to the green fields of Democratic poli politics. - tics. politics. Attorney General Palmer did not get blindly into the presidential race Monday night. He did not act with without - out without knowing his entry was satisfac satisfactory - tory satisfactory to the president and that Mr. Wilson would not lift a hand to terfere with any member of his cab cabinet, - inet, cabinet, or any former member, or any one hundred per cent administration Democrat who wants to seek the Democratic nomination. Vance McCormick, former chair chairman - man chairman of the Democratic national com committee - mittee committee and campaign manager for President Wilson three years ago, was the principal intermediary between the attorney general and his chief. Mr. McCormick will probably be cam campaign - paign campaign manager for Mr. Palmer in seeking election if he is nominated,. Democratic politicians in Georgia played almost if not quite as import tant a role in bringing out Mr. Pal Palmer - mer Palmer and in getting the O. K. of the White House. Through an emissary in Washing Washington - ton Washington it was represented to the White House and to ' the attorney general that the factional situation in Geor Georgia - gia Georgia was such that It Has necessary to enter immediately there a one hundred per cent administration can candidate, - didate, candidate, otherwise, it was represented, the Georgia delegation might fall into hostile hands. It is authoritatively understood here that the desire of Mr. Palmer to get into the race ahd the joint representations of Mr. Mc- Cormick and Georgia political lead leaders - ers leaders finally moved the White House early this week to give the "Go, Go" signal to the attorney general. With Within - in Within a few hours Attorney General Palmer had wired the secretary of the Georgia executive committee that he was authorized to put Palmer's name on the presidential preference primary ballot. On the Wilson Record This anouncement from Attorney General Palmer was practically the same as a White House statement that Mr. Wilson had climlnSWriiim climlnSWriiimself - self climlnSWriiimself as a third term qaijjjidate. .Mr. Palmer would never have announced so long as there was any uncertainty about this. He is one of the most loyal n en in the cabine: and will run squarely on the Wilson record with without - out without getting the go-ahead sign from the president, Mr. Painter would no more enter the presidential :ace than would Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy, or Secretary of War Ba Ba>ker. - >ker. Ba>ker. , It has been known for some time that Mr. Palmer had further politi political - cal political ambitions. But, like Mr. Mc- Adoo, the president's son-in-law, and former cabinet officer, Mr. Palmer held back awaiting some indication of the president's attitude toward a third term. His sudden action Mon Mon.Y - .Y Mon.Y is fraught with significance and virtually tells the story, even if oth other - er other details were not known. The s tor Y> however, goes further than this. It is understood here that as matters now stand both Attorney General. Palmer and former Secre Secretaxy - taxy Secretaxy will be the "fair-haired boys" of the administration. The president apparently is willing that each should go out and corral as many delegates as possible. They have sort of "go to it boys" permis permission - sion permission and each has the blessing of the party chief. Another well authenticated angle of the situation is the shaping of a program whereunder Mr. Palmer will contest for delegates in some states and Mr. McAdoo in others. Probabilities are now that Mr. Mc- Adoo will not go into Georgia, al although - though although it is his native .state, because he took his name off the ballot there before Mr. Palmer's name went on. At that time, Mr. McAdoo was hold holding - ing holding back, evidently in view of the silence of the White House. Mr. McAdoo, it is said, will most likely get into the Texas contest, while Mr. Palmer will be an onlooker. Here and there Palmer and Mc'Adoo dele delegates - gates delegates will be gathered up, for such developments as may come at San Francisco. No cahdidates, according to pres present - ent present indications, wil go to San Francisco in command of the con-/ vention. Un'ristructed delegations doubtless will nold The balance of power. May Start to Chant But with the president out of con consideration - sideration consideration it will be a lively and fair fight. It is within possibility, of course, that somebody will start the chant - accompanied by the famil familiar - iar familiar stamping of feet and the me methodical - thodical methodical pounding of hands together - "We want Wilson; we w'ant Wilson; we want Wilson." If that should happen and the con convention - vention convention should go off its feet, it is easy to surmise to whom the Palmer and McAdoo delegates would be thrown.. Nevertheless, in view of developments within the past three days there is little belief here that the president is thinking of a third term. At last lie appears to have reached a self-eliminatieq decision, albeit his letter to the Jackson day diners, challenging the opposition to throw the peace treaty into the cam campaign. - paign. campaign. was construed as making him a potential candidate. It is known that some weeks ago Vance McCormick, who has just an announced - nounced announced in his newspaper his sup support - port support of .Palmer, endeavored to draw cut the White House regarding the Palmer candidacy. At the time, it is understood Mr. McCormick received the suggestion to wait awhile. This he did, meanwhile anxious no doubt to have Mr. Palmer get into the race at the earliest moment. Then along came the Georgia sit situation - uation situation helping out Mr. McCormick. Hoover sentiment was sweeping Georgia and there was another com complication - the - plication - the complication - the claim that the anti antiadministration - administration antiadministration element in the state, might mobolize all Democratic op-

MOVED SENTIMENT' STRONG IN ALBANY - AND DOUGHERTY Mayor Peacock, Chairman of Dougherty County Ex Executive - ecutive Executive Committee, As Assails - sails Assails Effort to Bar Hoover BY ROGERS WINTER (Staff Correspondent of The Journal.) ALBANY, March 4. - One doesn't have to seek far to find I Hoover sentiment in the city of Al Albany - bany Albany and the county of Dougherty, and by the same token one doesn't have to seek far to find men pro protesting - testing protesting vigorously against the action of the subcommittee of the Demo Democratic - cratic Democratic state executive committee in attempting to shut Hoover out of the primary. Mayor Herbert Peacock, for exam example, - ple, example, one of the leading young lawyers of this section, formerly a member of the house of representatives from Dougherty county, and mayor of the City of Albany, is a red-hot sup supporter - porter supporter of the former food admin admin' - ' admin' istrator. "I am going to vote for Hoover," ; said Mayor Peacock to The Journal correspondent, "and I am going to vote for him regardless of whether his name is placed on the ballot in the preferential rimary. If his name is placed on the ballot, then I will vote for him and thousands of oth others - ers others will, in my judgment. If his name is not placed on the ballot, then I am going to scratch all the names on it and write on the ballot myself with a pen and Ink the name of Herbert Hoover. Os course, they may not count my vote if I vote' 1 that way, but I am going to vote for Hoover A.ist the same. "If the subcommittee wanted to ' shut Hoover (Ait of the primary and ' eliminate him from the Georgia pref preferential - erential preferential primary - which undoubtedly must have been their object in chang changing - ing changing the rules of eligibility after the game started - they certainly have ' succeeded in accomplishing directly the reverse of what they intended. Their action was neithei* sportsman sportsman; - ; sportsman; like nor democratic. It ' has created a very bad impression. It looks like a piece of political chicanery, pure and simple, and is so regarded throughout the state, from what I see and hear. It has made Mr. Hoov Hoover - er Hoover the central figure of a raging con controversy - troversy controversy in the public prints, adver advertising - tising advertising him all over the state. In a sense the whole primary revolves around the questipn of .whether Hoov Hoover's - er's Hoover's name shall go on the ballot. O course, the effect of this agltitlori J is to help Hoover, and I have no ob- - jection to the subcommittee's action to 'hat extent. Why He Havers Hoover "The problems confronting our government for the next four years or more will not be political prob problems - lems problems but economic problems, and we need a man of great ability to han handle - dle handle those problems. That is why I favor Hoover as the Democratic can candidate - didate candidate and the next president. To my mind he is pre-eminently quali qualified - fied qualified to handle the vast problems of an economic character, not only na national - tional national but international in scope. The people know him, they admire his magnificent record of Service in the war, they are satisfied of his inde independence - pendence independence and character and fearless courage, and they will vote for him. "He is the only man, in my judg judgment, - ment, judgment, with whom the Democratic party can hope to win success In the next election. Everybody knows that we haven't got a chance if we count on'nothing but thp straight Democratic vote. We arc obliged to have the independent vote ,and It is not coming to us if we try to win with a candidate 'who makes no ap appeal - peal appeal but a partisan appeal. The west is going to cut a very great figure in the outcome and so are the newly enfranchised women voters. All ac accounts - counts accounts are that Hoover will sweep the west." Mayor Peacock is chairman of the Democratic executive committee of Dougherty county, and he and other members of the committee have been much interested in the action taken by the Democratic executive commit committee - tee committee of DeKalb county, where the de determination - termination determination was made a few days ago to place the name of Herbert Hoover on the ballot of the prefer preferential - ential preferential primary in spite of the action of the sub-committee declaring him ineligible to be placed upon *the bal balot - ot balot upon petition of 100 or more white Georgia Democrats. t "We are giving serious thought to the interesting suggestion contained in the action of the DeKalb county committee," said Mayor Peacock. "It certainly was an admirable stand for , that committee to take. It shows their independence and courage. I would like to ask the distinguished political experts of the sub-committee two questions, to-wit: "What Is a Democrat?" "What is a Democrat? "What is a Republican? "Do they know a test /by which to determine whether a man is a Democrat or a Republican? Do they think it is sufficient to say merely that so-and-so has always itoted the Democratic ticket, thereby making him a Democrat? Or would they be willing to go on record with the proposition that a man is not a Democrat because he has not always voted the Democratic ticket? I would like to know, honestly I would, as a matter of public information, what is a Democrat?

At Wednesday's meeting a protest was made against pride-fixing by W. W. Orr, of the George Muse Cloth Clothing - ing Clothing company, and by R. C. Alston, counsel for the retail clothiers. Mr. Orr declared that the merchants of Atlanta have not profiteered and will not do so. but he insisted that the greatly advanced wholesale prices now paid by the retailers make it necessary to charge correspondingly high retail prices. Greater capital now is needed to carry on a mer merchandizing - chandizing merchandizing business, said Mr. Orr, - and the retailer often is made to suffer for ills over which he has no control.

Discussion of the treaty ranged over a wide field yesterday and when the session ended no action had been taken.

"In making this reservation we not only do an idle thing, but re relinquish - linquish relinquish our hold on Japan as a result of its promises to return Shan Shantung - tung Shantung to China. If we hoped to bene benefit - fit benefit China, the proper course would be to declare that we propose to hold Japan to her promises, mate in Faris and elsewhere," he said.

"China is praying to her gods that she will not have many such friends," said Mr. Norris. "Had this new friendship and desire to aid China existed earlier it might have pro produced - duced produced some votes for the Shantung amendment, which would have done China some good." He declared Mr. Hitchcock and oth other - er other senators "tried to reach secret agreements on reservations," but that Mr.' Hitchcock "now has lost *-inter *-interest - est *-interest and is not willing to carry out some of these agreements."
