TITi: ATLANTA GEOROT AX. 'ATI'HI'AY Jl \i: T! REJOINDER OF SMITH TO HOWELL’S SPEECH In hla rejoinder uf h i!f an hour In hi* debate with Clark Howell, Mr. Smith ,pnke a* follow*: ■ My fellow citizen*, I did not know how much afraid f wa* of Mr. Howell until 1 listened to him. Face to face a nri afraid of him! How rldiculoui! jr 0 r what? HI* Intellectual power? Ha* he shown to you that he ha* any? I want to tell you one thin*. I have never charted him with anythin* that l was not true. 1 hav# charged him to I his face with the record* of the aenate ' which ahow what he did when the franchise fa* daw wa* paaaed. ! rh.'irged that Hooper Alexander pre pared the law that William Schley Howard Introduced and that It went to the senate, having paaaed the houae; that he waa preaident and that he tilentlv let It die. 1 have charged that (t the next aeaalon Murphy Candler Introduced the bill and that he never opened hla lip* for It until* It had al ready received the Si vote* that made It safe. •Here I* a letter from Murphy Cand ler who Introduced the bill. He tella me tiiat If Clark Howell waa for this bill before he voted he never found It out I will glfe the paper to the preaa. He supported that franchise bill Juat Hite he worked foK Cieneral Gordon. Then he come* to you and talk* about mV frankneaa or my truth. I refer you to' his statement at Montlcello that he Winked for General Gordon. It waa published In hla paper that he aald at Montlcello that lie worked and voted for lieneral Gordon. If a man la to be criticized for whnt lie aaya, I will leave Hr. Howell to the crttlclam that followa what he sold. Beck to Freight Rates. •■Rut let ua get hack to freight rate* a moment. Let us go back to what he Is doing now. He aaya he won't be re sponsible for the editorial written In his pn|ier; somebody elee did It. But here ls an extract from the speech he made at Mableton only a few days ago. He says your railroad commission stands ready to rectify any dlacrlmlna- itnn In ralea In the state, and these are the only rates over which the commis sion has power. He aaya there are dis criminations In local rate* now com plained of. He prides himself upon the proposition that there waa nothing that the railroad commission could do that It did not wish to do. There la the story. Anybody can write a few nice lines about how he loves Atlanta. Any sophomore at college could have de claimed those few sentences with which he expressed hi* love. My fellow citizens, let me go one step further. Hla evident want of Information upon tho subject is pitiful. When he told you that lie had given to the railroad com mission of Georgia the credit of a re duction In freight rate*, that your body, vnur chamber of commerce, your freight rate bureau secured, and went on to state, 'Yea, I gave It to them: they got It from the railroad commis sion.' whv Ills Ignorance la pitiful. • If he will ahow the order, I will feel almost like doing what he keep* on saying he will do, withdraw from the race. I think, between me and you, he wants to withdraw. He la not In the race now. I waa glad to concede him this joint discussion. 1 want to boost him U|I and keep him In It. There are not five counties In Georgia that you can name that he will carry. Cooimisaion Had Nothing to Do With It "Now, I want to tell you about that reduction. The state railroad commis sion had nothing to do with It. They are Interstate rates. They were not local fates. It was obtained by nil agreement from the general freight scents of the big railroad eyalema com ing into Georgia from outside of Georgia, and the railroad commission had nothing to do with It. I won't accuse him of Intending to state what Is false. 1 don't thtnk lie knows, and the more I see of hltn and the more I hear of him, the less I aee he know*. When you put a little fellow In a big man’s shoes you ought to expect him 11 tattle around. I don't blame him for calling on the spirit of Henry Grady to save him. "Hut let nte come to hi* charges against me. Oh! I will make them hear,” replying to a remark from the audience. "1 want to come to 111* charge* against me. He aaya that 1 never usetl any of the money that came from that bar for charity. He made thp statement, but I am sorry for ■ man who will make statements he man* wa* Obe Steven*' aon-ln-law. I wanted th* boys to make a fight then ®bd wanted to put the old gang from th# Democratic executive committee, but they thought It be»t to hold them to keep the organlxatlon and Ju*t put out Jim Grlgg* and all the I leant men who were running from the *tat* at large, and I yielded to their view. Now. I* It fair, I* It candid, when he know* he wa* for Yeomans, when lie knows Yeoman* waa In hla gang, a man of the old gang, that I was forced to take, to make that sort of a speech before me? Is It fair? Is It candid? My dear boye, It la as candid as the statement that he worked for the election of Gen eral Gordon. Explains Request to Yeomans. "But let ua aee what else he Is do- Ing. Let ua aee what else he Is doing. He has utterly misconstrued what I said to Yeomans and he has mussed and mixed It so completely that you cannot tell what took place at all from hi* description of It. I did want Yeo man* to call the state committee to gether. I suggested It. 1 wanted them to get to work. I wanted them to do something besides being ornaments. But fhey belonged to the old machine nnd they were not much for Parker anyhow, and they would not offer to come. I suggested, then, the advisabil ity of their considering the question ns to what would be the future of the men voting for Watson who had voted formerly and during the years after ward* for the organization. After con ferring about It we both concluded It wa* not necessary to rail them to gether. We did not want them, but knew that nothing could tend to keep them away from the voting If they wanted to. Repudiates Committee's Action. "Now what has the committee done but Insult everybody who wont' prom lae what he will do years hence? utterly repudiate that conduct of the committee. If that Is Democracy, | re pudiate that with It. And he says attacked the organisation, the leaders. When Democracy Is composed of Hamp McWhorter, Enoch Callaway and Clark Howell I repudiate It all. Why, he knows as much about Democratic prin ciples a* he knowa about freight rates. Poor, pitiful party, If he Is to lead It! Poor, unfortunate merchants If he I* to run freight rate reduction for thrtfi! Let ua look at It a moment. Let ua turn te other states. Suppose there were Republican committees all over the United States who decided that every ntan who voted with them this year nnd changed hts vote for the Republican nominee two years hence, should be disqualified. What would we think of It? We would think that when we come to discuss the Issues that they ought to have the right to determine what they would do. What I condemned your committee for was undertaking to tie up every Georgian aa to what they were to do two years hence. I am not afraid to condemn that. The people all over Georgia con demn that. Over two-third* of the county committees had acted. They knew that they obeyed the wishes of a entail ring In opposition to the wUhea of the people. “Juat one thing more, and I am go ing to rinse, whether my half hour la out or not. “I ask that those going out will be a* nulet as they ran. because l am .not gdlng to atop speaking because they are going out. I Intend to make those who want to hear me hear me. Goat After The Savannah News. I call your nttentlon to the atti tude of The Savannah Morning New* toward Mr. Howell'a candidacy. The Savannah News la the paper which run* a 'rat' office and fight* union la bor In Savannah. Why, Mr. Howell used Ills own reporter, Mr. Lewis, to send a report of one of hla speeches to The Savannah News. “There Is nothing they can say about me personally that they are not willing to use. Day after day their editorial* attack me. There are only two plausi ble explanations. One would he that Clark Howell and Katlll are In com bination. Another would be that Ks- llll knowa that Clark la dead and out of the race, and don't want to kill him any deader. Why, If yqu should vote for Clark Howell you know you are not voting for a governor. You hove heard hint here tonight. Why, I knew from the drat If he would Juat go over Georgia and Itt the people lo>k at him andi listen to him hla name vita All the prestige he ha* over cause I will have a clean majority the whole convention over all four of you (pointing to Mr. Howell), and I simply Invito you,'my fellow clttsens, to Join the procession." Mr. Smith concluded with hla great story. In which the -little boy l*t hi* favorite goat go because of the crowd h* waa In, saying: "I love you, Billy, but I can't stand your company.” SMITH DISCUSSES - ' FREIGHT RATES Continued from Pago Two, lrraea!a ne ha P rdV.'.pA'.r?d-Mnre t lias not been tny purpose to. rarer h .v„ round him out.

No man should be nominated for the state senate who has nr.t been selected at the ballot box, all th* voters In hts entire senatorial district participating In the nomination. If the people of Georgia are to control their own af fair*. they must strike ,at the very root of those evils In our present sys tem that hinder popular government. They must not only have the authority theoretically, but they must have It practically, from the party machinery, which gives them an opportunity to exercise the authority. "1 cannot too strongly Impress upon the employees of tha railroad compa nies. the men engaged In handling the trains, and working In the shop* nnd working on the tracks, that their In terests are with the people In thla struggle. The same political power which prevents action In behalf of lower freight and passenger rates, prevents legislation to protect the em ployees of the railroad companies. Tha laws of Georgia do not today protect the employees of railroad companies aa do tha English laws and tha l*wa of many states of the Union. “Take as an Illustration the rule In Georgia thnt If a railroad employee Is In the slightest legree at fault, he cannot recover In case he la Injured. Thla Is the law In few state* Nearly everywhere except In Georgia, tha ex ercise of reasonable rare la all that Is required of the employee. During tho last session of the legislature, a bill was Introduced In the senate which put railroad employees In lhlairespect u|x>n the same footing that they occupy In other states. The bill rame from Sen ator Strange, of Bulloch. From him I have learned that the political attor ney* of th# railroad*, and their Influ ence In the aenate, made quick work of this hill, nnd It wna defeated. I could suggest a number of other bills, Important to the Interest of the em ployees of the railroads, hut the peo ple must be In control before any hope of tlialr passage would be Justified. To Imprest Employes* “An effort baa been made to Impress the employees of railroad companies with the Idea that a reduction of freight rates would mean a reduction of their wages. I cannot too emphatl rally tell them that I would never be a party to such action. "The shippers of Georgia do not de sire an advantage at the expense of that faithful body of men who make the operating force on the railroads. They Insist that the railroad compa nies should pay their employees good wages. It la not the money which la expended that we criticise. "IV* deny tho right of railroad com panles to pay dividends and Interest on watered stocks and bonds. AVe con cede them the right to pay good wages and to make a fair prolft on the money actually put Into the properties. 'The enforcement of th* principle . which we Insist, Instead of Inju tho employees, would make these fleer* who tlx their apiaries realise that the railroad companies could get no profit by grinding down their employ eea, us the Inw will atop the net earn logs dt the road at n fair profit upon the money actually Invested, and when the railroad companies undertook to cut wages they would be met with the proportion that another cut would be made by the railroad commlaslon In freight rate*, and that watered stock and watered bond* rnuld dot be an tis need In value by unfair pay to em ployees. "The nien who -do the actual work on railroads have been my clients In ruses against railroad companies for twenty-five years. I have sought to serve them both In and out of the court house, and they can trust me still to guard their Interest* In any position to which I may b* called. Disfranchise tha Ntgro. 1 advocate legislation which will dis franchise #r> per cent of the negroes of Oeorgta. I cannot too strongly state that 1 do not advocate legislation which will disfranchise any white man In the state. . Six Southern otale* hqve passed legislation disfranchising the negroes. The testimony which Comes over, whelmlngly from the**■ state* la that the legtalatlpn haa worked well and to the satisfaction of the people of the atatee, that the negroes ere'better la borer* and more contented than ever before, and that they have been entirely eliminated from politics. . In presalng the disfranchisement of the negro, 1 stand upon tha same principle enuncl ated by Abraham Lincoln— “‘I will say that I am not,and never have been In favor of bringing about In any way the social and political equality of the white and black races— that t am not, nor ever have been. In favor of making voter* or Juror* of na- groea, nor of qualifying them to. hbld office nor lo Intar-marry with white lieople; and I will say, In addition to thla, that there la a physical difference between the white and black races which, f believe, will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality.’ "Light la breaking upon the people of the entire country with reference lo the true character let lea of tha negro. H-m. I'harle* Francl* Adams, during th# month of May, on returning from a ■lay of several months In Africa, de clared the utter Inferiority of the negro rare when alway* free, fie ahowa the African negro, never a slave, to be In ferior to (ns Bout hern negro at the close of alavery. He declared that the difference between the African and An glo-Saxon waa too great to admit of measurement.’ ■ ~H* declared that, looking about him among African* In Africa, the scales fell from hi* eyre, and h* aald, T found myseir most Impressed by a realising sense of tho appalling amount of hrror end rant in which w* of the United mates have Indulged on this topic. We hav* actually wallowed In a bog of self, sufficient Ignorance, especially we phil anthropist* and theorists of New Eng land' Ho quoted with approval from Air Hamuel Baker, a* follow*: ‘Bo long aa It la generally considered that tha negro and while man are to b* gov erned by th* aama law* and guided by th* same managemrut, ao long will the former remain a thorn In.th* aide of every community In which h* may un happily belong.’ Then be declared upon hla own part The white man end black man cannot flourish together, the lat ter being considerable In number, under the earn* system or government.' Week Den* in Ignorance. SThen he says: The work done by those who were In political control it the close of our civil war was work done In uttar Ignorance of ethnological law and total disregard of unalterable feet. • • « Th* negro, after eman cipation, should have been dealt with not as n political equal. * • . • Prac tically Impossible a* a policy then thlr Is not less so now.* Seven or eight.ysanf ago, when the whites were divided, 1 disapproved an effort, at that time, to pass legislation disfranchising th* negroes. Today It la a simple task. There would have been no opposition to It but for political rea sons and for tha hope that political capital could be mad* out of It. The Atlanta Constitution editorially ap proved disfranchisement legislation In IMt. If It were not for the fif teenth amendment to the constitution of tha United States, I would favor leg- lalatlun which eliminated the right of suffrage to th* black man In Georgia. That amendment only prevents the atnte from controlling who ahnll vote to the extent of declaring that the right to vote ahall not be denied or abridged on account of race, color or prevlou* condition of servitude. Legislation can be paaaed which will accomplish the desired result, which will not In terfere with the right of any white man to vote, and yet rid the state of 05 per cent of the negro voters. Favors Alabama Plan. "I advocate legislation upon the line or the legislation adopted In Alabama It would be substantially thla: That In addition to ths present requirement* for registration In Georgia, such per son registering must bring himself within one of Ibe four provision* which I will now state: "First, Any men who served In (lie Union array or In the Confederate army can register and rote. “Second, The descendants of men who served In the Revolutionary or the war of ISIS, the Mexican war, In the war between th* atetea, either on the Union nr the Confederate aide, cab register and vote. "Third, For elx month* after the adoption of the Inw, any man who, In the opinion of the registrars, haa'a proper conception of hla duly a* a t III sen can register and vote. "Fourth, Any man who can read ami write correctly any paragraph ft tun th* constitution of the United States or from the ronatltullon of the state of Georgia, selected and propounded to him by the registrars, ran register and vote. Let the law further provide H.nt n man ones registering under these |tr<> visions Is only required aflvru art!* ti pay his taxes to register. 'These provision* make no dlscrlm Inatlon on account of race, color >r previous condition of servitude; but without that discrimination, they fur nish the opportunity for every white man to register, and they do not per mit th# opportunity for 5 per con*, of the negroes to register. "But my opponent Insists thnt no necessity exist* In Georgia fot such legislation, and he argues, therefore, thnt no neceaalty ever will exist. There are, In round number*. *25,00-) nv- groea In Georgia who, If they paid tlietr poll tax and were permitted to do ao, would be legally entitled to vote. There are alxty-dve counties In Geor gia In which lhare nra more negruea of voting age then white men. Aa to th# Whit* Primary, “We have many election* In Georgia In which the white primary cen not be used, such aa prohibition election*, location of county court house elec tion*, local school tax election*, anil fence elections: In these electlnia, the vote of the Ignorant purchasable ne gro Is Juat a* effsctlvo aa the vole of the white man; but I believe that this legislation Is Important with reference to all of our elections. "I favor th# whit* primary, but anv man jvho aaya white primaries will al ways bo sufficient l* mistaken. Take the recant action of the a tat* Demo cratic Executive coirfinllte*. It passed a rule which wo* calculated to drive every man out of the primary who ex pects to vote the Republican ticket, nr the Prohibition ticket, or the Pop ulist ticket, In the nptlonnl election. "1 do not think the resolution which they paaaed will bring about any se rious trouble, but another executive committee might make It *o broad a* to drive/ out of odr primaries eveiy innn who would not pledge hlmaclf permanently to vote for the national nominees of the Democratic party. "Ov«r 50,000 while men would tlure- by be excluded from our Democratic primaries. This would reduce the re maining white vote to about 220,no«. nnd leave outside the Deffrocfstlc party 276,000 men entitled to vote In tiro state. \ " ' Today, an effort <a being mad*, to form a coalition among' white men whom It I* claimed will be excluded from th* primary to run an Indeper.d- ent tloket end ua* th* negro vote. "I believe the wise course le lo plant oiiraelve* squarely upon the proposi tion in Georgia that the negro la In no respect the equal of the white man. amt that he can not In future In this state occupy a imaltlon of equality. Those negroes who aspire to equality can leave those who are contented to occupy th* natural statu* of their race, the position of Inferiority, all compe tition being eliminated between the white* and the blacks, will nnd them- eelves treated with greater klndnesa and will prove to be more contrnted and better worker* than they are to day.'
