Georgia Democrats Endorse Wilson at State Convention
At Macon on May 3 the Georgia Democrats unanimously endorsed President Wilson for re nomination. They elected eight at large delegates with half a vote each and four delegates from every district to the St. Louis convention, re elected Clark Howell as national committeeman, and nominated state presidential electors. Joseph E. Pottle served as temporary chairman, John W. Bennett as permanent chairman, and E. J. Reagan led the executive committee in opening proceedings. Delegates at large included eight from the Atlanta Journal slate amid a hard bid by H. H. Dean. The platform committee listed members from each district, and St. Elmo Massengale was named permanent secretary. The convention decided to pass resolutions endorsing Wilson and his administration rather than a formal platform.
