THE Atlanta Constitution in a
I recent editorial : "As for the
southern farmers , it is absurd to
ask them to join a third party , and
thereby destroy a political and so
cial solidity which is essential to
the safety o their property and
their institutions. The farmers
here are satisfied with the demo
cratic party in every p < irticularfor ,
they constitute a majority of its
voters and have control of it organ
ization. A third party in the
south would be farcical in its con
ception and tragical in its results ,
for it would be in the nature of an
invitation to ignorance to step in
and take charge of affairs. "
