If we go Into the Democratic primary, we ought to be sincere about It. and go In as organised Democrats. If we do 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." Feeling Against Watson. More than once Mr. Carter showed his feeling against Tom Watson by re ferring to him as “your much-vaunted leader." G. W. Fleetwood, ..f Itome, 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 ail of them fa vored staying In the ml Idle of the road, and asked me to stint by t Im policy here. And 1 am going to do It. In my judgment, we have never had a better chance to elect our governor than now. If you go Into the Demo cratic primary, you are Democrats from that time.. ThwiraU’ safe thing for the Populists to do Is to stay organised." J. A. Bodenhamer. of Dalton, who acted as secretary of the meeting, said that he yielded to no man In fealty to the principles of Populism, and was rorty to see some spirit of surrender among a few present. At thl.i some one shouted: "Here's an' old boy that has stuck by the party and will in hell freives over!” Who Will Ms Nomnistsd? Chairman J. J. Holloway and A. J. Burnett, both of Carroll county, were named as delegates to attsnd the na tional conference of the People's Party In SL Louis on June 27. In the 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 beyond the pale of posslblltles aa 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 Populists succeed In getting a state convention In Atlanta on July 4, that convention will be over whelmingly against putting out a state ticket.” That Is Judge J. K. Hines' opinion of the action of the state ex ecutive commltee ln Atlanta Thursday. Continuing, he said: “I have said and still say that If the regular Populist executive committee had been here that no state ticket would have been decided on. But sev eral of the regular committeemen gave proxies to others, and these pulled the balance in favor of the action there yesterday. "But even granting that the conven tion should place a candidate for gov ernor and a full state house ticket In the field, 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 small percent age of that number.” Ysnesy Carter Talks. Tancey Carter, of Hartwell, who led thq 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 field. "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 he would get a vote that would surprise some of these folks now trying to discredit the Idea.” "Would you stand for the nomina tion?" '•Under no circumstances," was the efnphatlc reply. "Some Populists 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 made It Impossi ble for any real Populists to vote In their. primary, by 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." BAPTIST MINISTERS GOING JflJHE FARM HON.' WALTER R.
