VllI preserve the Irtrgrl ty of our party nr. surrender It lock, stock and barrel to somebody else. If we go Into the Democratic primary, we ought to be sincere about It. and go In as organised Democrats. If we ilo that It means the everlasting death of the Populist party. As for myself. I am not concerned about how many votes we may poll.'but I want to stand by our principles." Peeling Against Watson. More than once Mr. Carter showed his feeling against Tom Watson by-re ferring to him as "your much-vaunted leader." O. W. Fleetwood, uf Iiome, advocated a full state ticket. J. H. Parrish, of Sylvester, commit teeman from the Second district, mado a red-hot speech for Populism. "Before I left home I talked with my people at length and all of them fa vored staying In the ml Idle of the road, and asked me to stick by tha< policy here. And I am gMng to do It. In my Judgment, we have never had a better clangs, to..elect our governor than now. - If yoU go into the Do-n.,- cratlc primary you are Democrats from mat time- . The only sate thing for the Populists to do'Jsf to slay organised." J. A. Bodenhamer. of Dalton, who setUha secretary of the meeting, said that he yielded to.no man In fealty t"> the principle* of'Populism, And was sorry to see some spirit of surrender among a few present. At thin some one Shouted: "Here's an old boy that has stuck by the party and will t'll hell freivcs over!" 1 Who Will Me Nomnialedf Chairman J. J. Holloway and A, .J. Burnett, both of Carroll county, were named na delegates to attend the na tional conference of the People'* Party In St. Louis on June 27. In Hie meeting Thursday only three men advocated not putting out a state ticket, and of these General Phillips was the only one to state that he would not be bound by the action of the com mittee. Since Judge Hines has placed himself heyond the pale of posslblltles as Pop ulist -gubernatorial timber, the ques tion arises upon whom will fall the task of leading the forlorn hope? Certain ly not Tom Watson, because he has come out In advocacy of Hoke Smith. Judge Hints' View. "Even If the Poputlsta succeed In getting a state convention In Atlanta on July 4, that convention will be'over- whelmlngly against putting out a state ticket." That Is Judge J. K. Hines' opinion of the action of the state ex ecutive commltee In Atlanta Thursday. Continuing, he said: "I have said and still say that If the regular Populist executive committee bed been here that no state ticket would have been decided on. But sev eral of the regular committeemen gave oxles to others, and these pulled the lance In favor of the action there yesterday. "But even minting that the conven tion should place a candidate for gov ernor and a full state house ticket In the Held, It will amount to little, be cause few Populists would vote the ticket. When Watson was a candidate for the presidency Georgia Populists polled 22,000 votes. A Populist ticket would now poll a very »mall percent age of that number." Yancey. Captor Talks, i, Yancey Carter,“of Hartwell, who led the fight In the executive committee meeting for. a straight Populist ticket, said Friday morning that the conven tion would'be. held and that a full ticket would be placed In the Held, "Who will be the nominee for gover nor?” was asked. “I haven't the slightest Idea. I favor some vigorous young man who will assert the principles of the party. And I say to you that be would get a vote that would surprise some of these folks now trying to discredit the Idea." "Would you stand for the nomln*. tlonr Under no circumstances,” was the emphatic reply. "Some Populist* In the state are pledged to Hoke Smith," he continued. "But there are thousands of the faith ful who will vote the ticket, and you need not doubt that. I believe In stand ing by principles rather than party. The Democrats have mode It Impossi ble for any real Populists to vote In their primary, b/ forcing upon him a pledge that he Is to be for all time a Democrat. I would vote for no party that would force that kind of a pro vision. Principles stand, but parties swerve from principles."
