Speelul to The Georgian.
Monroe, Go., Oct. 31.—President R.
F. Duckworth, of tho Georgia division
of tho Farmers’ Union, addressed a
large crowd at this place yesterday.
His speech waa received with great
enthusiasm.
Ho said In part:
"There has never been a time, and
there never will bo a time, when we nre
more In need of men. who, without
selfish purposes, nre willing to give their
time and energy in the revolutionising
of the agricultural Interests of our
country. Tee, when I say revolutionis
ing. I mean revolutionizing. I mean
that the change should lie so complete
thal the man who tills tho soil would
renp the boneflts therefrom ami not
simply be a tool tor the use of the limn
who does not labor.
For 8quare Deal.
'It Is tho purpose of the Farmers’
Union to bring about this change. Wo
have nobody to fight except tho ronn
who refuses to allow us nn equitable
portion of the good things of life. Can
Tou blame us for fighting him? The
honest merchant has nothing to fear at
our hands. If he will recognize our
rights. Tho honest banker has nothing
to fear at our hands, If he will allow
us an equitable showing. The lawyer
has nothing to fear at our hands. If he
will assist us to etiforco the low. Tbe
railroads and any other great Interests
have nothing to fear at our hands. If
they will but iiermlt us an equitable
share of tho standing room on the globe.
Then eon you say that wo nre unrea
sonable? Then can you say that we are
exacting? 1 do not think you could.
What about the politician? Did. you

fipeclsl to The Geot.lso,
Chattanooga, Tenn., Oct. 31.—News
of the tragic death of Carl Bundschu
at Knoxville has been received In Chat,
tanoogn. where he formerly resided.
Bundschu was manager of the Elks’
Club and was shot by a negro porter.
Union alone and do wluit we tell him.
We do not care for his holding an of
fice: we nre not Interested In the little
pile that he gets, for hut few of them
ever get rleh off of the salary. Are we
going Into polttks? Why. most as
suredly we are not. I will admit that
there are numhern and numbers of poll
tletans that do not want to see the
Farmers’ Union succeed. They are
afraid of tho mighty power that tt
wields. They fear that If they should
sell their vole or their Influence-lor
money that the Farmers’ Union might
advertise the matter, end playing poli
tics Is one kind of business that is
afraid of tho advertiser.
Steer Clear of Polities.
"You atk me 'can the politician hurt
tho Fanners’ Unl&n?’ I want to say
to the members of tho unlqn: It i/.—
pends altogether upon you. I do not
know the politicians of your county,
hut I darn say that they are Just about
as lindly mixed with good and bad on
the politicians of any other county, and
1 do not doubt but that there arc poli
ticians In this comity today that will
watch even - possible chanee to try anil
lead the Farmers’ Union Into politics.
Can they do Wt I know the rules of
this organisation too well to think tor
one minute that It Is possible, but '
can not help but feel that It Is neces
sary for me to’ warn you against the
next step of tho politician, snd hear
me. auil do not misunderstand what 1
say. There are politicians scattered
throughout the slate of Georgia III the
different respective eouiilles that, when
they find they can not lead the Farm
ers’ Union Into politics, they will make
another attempt. This attempt will
first be made by attacking the officers
of (ho organisation, the county so,S’,
tary, or county president, or district
secretary, or district president—any
body, anywhere, Just to attack some
body within the ranks of the organi
sation—by which they will hope te
destroy the usefulnets of the organi
sation. Shall they succeed In tills?
Shell they, by this moans, deatroy the
uaetulness of the organisation: destroy
Its power nnd Influence, until they (tf$
politicians) will not tear to oppose Its
moatures and lusuos?
Investigate Reports.
"My brethren, It rests with you. I
warn you thut If tho politicians bealu
to peddle In this county dlsreputlng
news, concerning nny member. Indi
vidual or officer, pay no attention to
them, so far as the public Is concerned,
but go quietly behind closed doors,
lulte the member or members about
which the bad news bus been circu
lated, make a thorough Investigation,
cither tn an open body, wblch, as 1
said, Is behind cloned doors, or by n
special committee, appointed by-the or.
ganlzution, nml. regardless „» tvnat you
find, keep It behind closed doors, and
do not. under any rlreuinstances, allow
It to get into the public presa. If you
find the brother guilty of a crime ot
sufficient importance to make It neceig.
sary for tho membership throughout
the state to be notified, do It by prl*
vate malL and from hand to Imnd un
der the seal of the grip and pass word,
nnd allow mo to say to you. If the
Farmers' Union pursues this courao ns
to going into politics, and then will
pursue the reurse aa outlined when II
gets to dealing with brethren about
whom the reports have been circulated
you will block the efforts of the old
politicians to destroy the power and In.
fluence of our organisation.
yi would have you to understand that
the politicians are not alone guilty (n
this, but the monied Interests of the

Join the union and find out We havo
already eared our people by co-opera

co-operation In tho handling of cotton,
hundreds of thousands of dollars, and
we will rontlnue lo save them more,

the farmer who has been watching tho
movements of the Farmers’ Union for
three years nnd Is not yet convinced
thnt he should Join the organisation.
The time for argument with men on the
outside of the organisation ho* about

"My answer to you Is, remain on the
outside of the organisation and wnke
