nm lmllarity In the two contest*. Mr.
llrarst waa and Is a real reformer, but
n I *o with Mr. Hoke Smith. Mr. Wat-
rmi recently arrote: "No mailer whkl
Hoke haa done or said In the past, he Is

Mi Watson la ready to admit that Mr.
Smith's record ta bad. "No matter

d, . - matter. If It does not matter,
thru why consider a man’s record at
all when he aspire* for oftlce. Why
eoi take the first nmn that happens
in ■ tig with a loud proclamation of re

Sir. Wataon aaye: "Having been

understand It. the three

. Pope Brown wa* opposed to
m tro disfranchisement. Mr. Watson
virtually admit* that when he says:
"Pup# Hxown shied at the disfranchise-
Ilea are bred faster than stagnant water
breeds mosquitos.” And yet that Is tb*
way Mr. Watsan speaks of Mr. Howell.
Mr. Wataon Intimate* that tha Popu
lists have a right to vote In the Deny
ucrattc primary, regardless of the
pledge printed on the ticket. Now, are
w* loft to Infer from this that If Mr.
Howell were only telling lie* for Mr.

Hut let us consider that platform.
First, I will constdtr the plank No. 1,

If the de

the new party that Mr. Wataon Is to
form utter he smashes the Democratic
K rty In Oeorgla. Or perhaps It would
mure correct to say the party that
Is to be formed by Messrs. Hoke Smith
and Watson.
As to Mr. Clark Howell'* being In the
ring (so-called) that rules Oeorgla po
litically, It strikes me that If there Is
any such ring In Usorgla Mr. Howsll
csrtatnly has a right to be In It. The

have never heard of Mr. Howell ob

president of the Southern railroad a
furly or fifty thousand dollar loan from
J. lMerpont Morgan. And yet Mr.
Hinlth admit* that he did receive such
a loan and gave ns collateral the stock
of his |iuper, when at the time he
swore the tax value of hla paper to be

he thinks he deserves such credit
now? If Mr. Watson con And ‘one
white man In Oeorgla ‘besides himself
who Is afraid of negro domination un
der the present primary plan I would
like to know who he is.
Mr. Watson says: “If the principle
af the whit* primary be right, why
would a law to that affect be wrong7"
Simply because It would be against the
constitution ot the United States. If
the national ronalltutlon could bi
changed to admit of It, 1 suppose ev
ery white man In Georgia would be In
favor ut negro disfranchisement. Kvcn
It a law could be passed that would
stand the taat of a decision of the su
preme court. It would be folly to cause
any suspicion where ther* Is no neces
sity for lb The case la different In
Mississippi and South Carolina. In
those etatee the negroes ore In tb*
majority and there Is a real necessity
tor eom* auch device, but In Georgia
the whites are In the majority and no
auch necessity exists. A bill hoe been
pending for yearn to reduce Southern
representation In congress on the
ground that the negro has
prlved of his vote. For some cause or
other that bill ha* failed to become a
law. Who knows but that Ha aifthor
ply waiting for Georgia and oth-
nthem states to pose such laws
as would make them subject to such
reduction?
In Watson*
Wataon eald: "It did not make a par
ticle ot difference whether our repre
sentation In congress were less than
It la now or not." Thla being Mr. Wat-
eon's notion It ta not strange that he
favors negro disfranchisement In Geor
gia *o that the Crumpacker bill will
apply to our state as well aa other
Southern states.
Mr. Watson says:
“Clark Howell ami hla L-rthren of
Ihe committee sacrificed Bryan In
1998." I suppose he means by this

support by falling to put Mr. Watson
on their ticket with Uryan. It waa
not that they failed to adopt the right
kind of platform. It waa not that they
felted to nominate the right kind of

speaks of principle*, blows about the
Wall street ring* and leaves ua to In

real ado about Clark Huwwell'a sl

to be printed In The Constitution a*
advertisements. And yet In Walunit's
agaalne for March he nays: "Hoke
Smith's position as a candidate for

thinks It was nil right for Hoke Smith
