Warner Hill was Mat to Tbe Georlgan several days ago. but waa delayed In reach* lng tho editor's (leak: To tho Editor of The Georgian: The people of Georgia will bear wltneas that I have been exceedingly pntleut under tbe eont In nod malicious and vindictive at* tacka of Mr. Hoke ftiblth, candidate for governor, during tbe past few months. Pa tience haa censed to be a virtue. This mem ber of the Atlanta bar, who la a candidate for governor, and who cannot aecure a ina Jorlty of hla own profession to vote for him for governor, on account of his peculiar methods of practice, haa seen fit to continue his attacks upon me personally, and tbe railroad commlsatou of Georgia, of which K am a raemtor, lo order. If possible, to fur ther hie chances for governor. He la too unfair to make a specific charge, but !ntln nates that I am Influenced In some myste rious way by railroad Influences. In hie Atlanta harangue the other night, speaking of the recent meeting of tbe state Demo cratic executive committee, he said: "The three lending spirits of that caucus were Judge Hamilton McWhorter, political a—‘ of tho Hoot hern railroad: Judge Enoch laway, a corporation attorney, at times rep* resenting clients politically as well as In tbe court houses, and Hon. Warner Hill, your railroad coiumlaoloaer. There you eee the close identification of your railroad commlaalooer and the railroad politicians. There you ace tlie alliance Inside the Demo cratic organisation controlling It." Notwithstanding tbe fact that the execu tive committee was practically unanimous In Its decision, he ale - * * liera for attack. The am In close alliance with railroad offictali commissioner of atpl that as a railroad Georgia 1 am Influenced In favor roads na against the meat waa made by *y. when he uttered > It that i : tly or Infill ild have kt Smith dellber- * he knew He knew never represented J KUHR, «>r i-viiiu tin t c giiunu, mni iti«id . wa. appointed to tbe railroad commission that all my practice aa s lawyer In damage •alts was against the railroads—though 1 Merer hired Iwlllffa to secure cases for me. The last ease 1 tried before going on the commission was one In which I recovered a arge rrrdlet against s railroad. Kluce qual ifying ns s commissioner. I hare taken no csss or ca.es for or against the railroads, directly or ludlrectly, lo order that I might lie In u imsltton of perfect Impartiality lie- tween tbe people of the state and the rail road.. And I hare always been sad still perfrctly Impartial lietween them, and f try each case as I have dose, fairly Impartially, according to tbe law sad r. rogues ssd the pel and Impartially, according evidence. The threats of cowards on the one hand, or tL •Ions of friends on the other, shall sot swerve me one hair's breadth from this fixed purpose. And Mr. Smith knew, or could have ksows. when he ottered the shore false and slsadems statement by Innendo that It was false. He knew, fur ther, that the present railroad commission has bren Instrumental la redaclog freight rates In Georgia more than any on# com- K salon In perhaps twenty years, although says to tho contrary. Ue knew that the esses pending la the United States court *>1. Issued u dlspoaud ley general Georgia, ssd not to tbe committee of ths Atlanta Freight Bureau. The reduction, that wore made therefore were brought .hoot by the cptnmleohin. He knew also UM (hat g " ^ "- "jhsjit 1’was tagsenced births' railroad. In some way. This Intimation or charge Is In famously false, and ho know It when be uttered It. and ho mttervd It knowing,It to bo folao. Too unfair to make o direct charge, ho makoo K by Inalauatlon. Ho haa L roa criticising tho conmdoafcm aim-# ho -ao tho paid attorney of the Atlanta Freight Burton and tho eemtaalon turned dowa hla pot hobby, "tho port rate.** which Is bat another name for a rate to mrirh tho Atlanta Jobbers at the expense of tho root of the shippers and eoniumero of Gesrgta. Amt the people of Georgia will sen and kaow It sooner or later. Nobody known tkts better than Mr. Hoke Hadtk. ff he wei da/, as sontlng the entire state, be would not vote for tho port rate, aa asked by the cl tv of Atlanta, unlesa he la more regardless of bis oath than 1 want to believe him to be. Tbs port rate, aa asked, would be a good thing for certain Jobtiers of Atlanta at the ex- i>ense of tho shippers and the citizens of Georgia, If It conld be enforced Just as Mr. Hralth wants it, but In Justice to tbe other people of Georgia outside of Atlanta the commission could not conscientiously grant the port rate. But while criticising two members of the commission, Hou. Joseph M. Brown and myself, Mr. Smith takes oc casion to praise Hon. J’ope Brown for vot ing for It. This port rate was twice before Impeachable conduct It DOES NOT mean, us evidently Intended to be understood by Mr. Smith, that a commissioner may be suspended for exercising the DISCRETION rested In him by tho legislature. A gover nor might differ with a commissioner aa to whether "the port rate" was the proper —-» —- — Jg have governor wouk u till Jfl lilt the right to suspend sloner thought another rat.* was right—and any candidate for governor who doesn't know that this Is so, or who thinks lie can suspend Just because he differs with n com missioner as to the proper remedy, has hardly that knowledge of law which would qualify him for a safe governor. The con stitution of the state of Georgia says that the legislative. Judicial, and executive branches of the government shall forever remain separate. The railroad commission Is n part of the legislative branch. It was created by It ns a tribunal to ascertain cer tain facts for It as to what constitutes Just nnd reasonable rates, etc. It Is an.admin istrative iKNly created by the legislature, and Is a pnrt of It for n specific purpose, nnd Is rested with n certain illtcrctlua. Therefore, no governor would have any more right to suspend n railroad cnintnla- aloner who had exercised n discretion con* W, VL. XJKPtote 755 f«rwd upon him by the legislature than a — * private rltlien would. The executive would be Interfering with the legislative depart ment, nnd hence such n usurpation of power would lie Illegal, nnd any governor exercising It would lie subject to Impeach ment. Anil yet this c/«r of all the Geor gians would suspend it commissioner be cause. forsooth. In the sound exercise of didst* ho voted for I When Mr. lloko Hmitn waa not a cai date for governor 1 never heard of bis foresting himself much aa to port rates any other rates except when he waa paid to do ao.

He lias done convention ■ declared nnd I*- majority Georgia against the Democratic execu tive committee created by a or dominated by him.

Why he has chosen to attark me 1 know not* except thAt 1 prefer to vote for a bet ter man than he Is for governor. 1 have remained silent nnder the continued and malicious charge made by tnuendo by this designing and unscrupulous demagogue, but 1 shall remain silent uo longer. In his ef fort and great desire to become governor he has slandered ueartv. If not all. the state officials for the fast twenty years.
