THE ATJjANTA HBHMHMl (Communicated). CHIEF JOYNER BRANDS AS FALSE ™ CHARGES OF THOMASH. GOODWlM EACH OTHER'S ROLE Replies to Insinuations innuendos of His Opponent. THEBE IS NO FOUNDATION FOB SHAMEFUL CHARGES Card of Edgar Anderson Exposes a a Charge Exploited by Goodwin In His Speeches^Chlef Joyner's Record In Atlanta. To tlje People of.Atlanta: I had hoped that the bitterness of the gubernatorial campaign would give sensation enough to lovers of that sort' of thing without an Injection of it into the race for mayor. But my opponent seems to have caught the infection, and has tilled the public ear with so many misrepresentations of me—so many charges utterly without foundation, and so many petty insinuations, which he knows are based only on his own vi cious Imagination and desire to get into an Important public office, not on his own merit, but on the passion and prejudices he hopes to inspire against me, that I feel it Is due myself, my friends and the whole city of Atlanta, to make vigorous and emphatic denial of his charges, and so I can do, for they are utterly untrue and without founda tion. I had hoped that my long life here as a citizen and an officer would save me from the foul mouth of slander. I had hoped that my continual Indorsement and re-flection as head of one of your most Important departments through more than a quarter of a century would be a guaranty against malicious charges of graff. I had hoped that my dealing with hundreds of honorable and faithful men In the fire department would be proof against false attacks charging me with favoritism and almost despotism; I had hoped that a long life in the public gaze, coming into contact with every business Interest in Atlanta, would pro tect a man from Insinuations that he peeks an honorable posltlofi to sell out the interests of his people to a “soul- GOODWIN CAMPAIGN FAKE EXPOSED BY ED. ANDERSON | They Deny Operating a “Matrimonial Bureau,” However. August IS, 1906. To the Voters of Atlanta: I have just returned home from my vacation, and learn that Tom Goodwin, candi date for mayor, has made the follow ing statement In several of his speeches: “You remember when the Georgia Railway and Electric Company went to Marietta, Ed Anderson was foreman at No. 7 engine house, he filed an Injunction against them to keep them from going through his place, without paying him $750. That Is a court record. Now, gentlemen, Ed Anderson received a letter. The letter came out one Sunday to the West End engine house, saying that his services as foreman would not be needed any longer. What happened? There was correspondence. Ed Ander son went up to headquarters and said, T will withdraw the injunction.* What I resulted? He was put back on at $76, and is still a foreman. I will give you tbht for what it Is worth.” There la not a word of truth in the By Private Leased Wire. New York, Aug. 20.—Evidence tend- less corporation.” But vile and base less attacks have been made, and I here and now denounce them. It has been said that if there was to come another flood und another Noah was to build another ark, there are some people who would refuse to get on board unless they could get upper berths. And It has been said that there arc many people who will beiieve any thing about anybody. Even without proof, even without reasonable suspi cion, there arc some ready always to condemn and ready to applaud misrep resentation and slander. I know that nearly all the people In Atlanta are fair-minded, nearly all are generous, nearly all patriotic, nearly ail despise misrepresentation, nearly all abhor demagogues, and all are tired of the mud-slinging in politics my oppo nent has Injected into this campaign. Makes Firm, Absolute Denial. But I want to deal briefly with the charges made against me. T make my denial as Arm, as absolute and as un qualified as 1 can find language to ex press It. Mr. Goodwin goes on to describe the Georgia Railway and Electric Company as a monopoly, as an oppressor of the people, as a grafter, and as everything else he can conceive of worthy of ab horrence and attack. He then goes on to describe himself within the lines of purity and perfection, and then pro reeds to insinuate that somehow or other I would be In favor of the mo nopoly and of all the things he charges it with. I am not In any way Interested, di rectly or Indirectly, in the company re ferred to. I have no stock In it, no in terest In it. I am not bound to it in nny way. I am ns Independent of It as any man In Atlanta. I believe I am more independent of it than Mr. Good win. If I am elected mayor all the Inter ests of Aliantn, whether they are cor porate nr individual, shall have a fair showing amt fair treatment. No corporation In Atlanta and no In- dlvldual shall receive at my hands any favor or privilege that they are not fairly entitled to. Every corporation In Atlanta, so far as i ran control It, will be forced to treat the people fairly, and shall be pre vented from discriminating betweep nny sections of the city or between any classes of people. To claim that he can do more than this |s as fibsurd as Mr. Qoodwin’s Haim of superior excellence over ordi nary people. Untrsmmslsd and Unbiased. If elected I go Into the office of may or utterly untrammeled of any bias, or prejudice or obligation to any corpora tion or business Interest 7 in the city. I do not know that the Georgia Rail way and Electric Company desire to buy the waterworks; but I do know that I am, and will be, opposed to the sale of them, Mr. Goodwin’s Insinuation* to the contrary notwithstanding. Nor'am I committed In any way on the subject of a gas franchise, and shall stand ready, if elected, to deal fairly as between all those who have rights and those who wish to *secure them. The insinuation of Mr. Goodwin that he was a saint and that J was a sinner, with respect to the holding of the last fair, is In keeping with his other accu sations. His insinuation that 1 am in favor of gambling is utterly without foundation, and is made with the idea of impressing people unfavorably against me. It Is known to the people that at the time of the last state fair various con tracts had been let and premiums of fered, based upon an estimate of re ceipts from horse racing, and at the time this question came up it looked as though the adoption of an ordinance by the city would break up the fair, and such was the opinion of as good men as there are in the city of Atlanta. I gave my honest opinion on the sub ject, and to say that by the giving of it the young men of the city pie of the city of A large amount of money is not only untrue, but utterly unworthy of a man who desires to pre sent the truth of an Issue for public consideration. Ths Cobb County parm. My wife and I are natives of Cobb county, Georgia, and I own a little farm there. It has been more of a recreation than a profit, and among the people who have enjoyed it are sick firemen. No fireman ever went there who did not want to go. No fireman ever struck a lick of work there at the city's ex pense. No fireman ever did anything there except of his own free will. ■'When the men got sick and needed a rest out of town I let them have the use of my place, and they stayed there generally at my expense, never at the expense of the city. ' No man who ever worked any on the farm can truthfully say that he was working at my dictation or command. To twist this, situation into one of com pulsion and of graft on the city, with the knowledge that Mr. Goodwin must have of It, can be little short of mali cious. As against his version of It, there are scores of men who know to the contrary. That the firemen of Atlanta have been made to do menial service for me, that tney have been treated as serv ants or anything approaching or ap proximating It, are slanders utterly without foundation, and my record for over a quarter of a century in the fire department, the love and good will of the men who compose It, and the at titude of those -who are now in it and out of it, give the lie to all such’ accu sations. Of course, I have had to be strict in discipline and exacting in the lines of duty, and I have made some enemies of men who have been connected with the fire department. My present oppo nent is one of them. There are some things In the line of progress that ought to be done. Atlanta ought to have a baseball team, at least a ma jority of our people have appeared to think so. Atlanta ought to have a drum corps-'the «clty government has appeared to think so—and to aid these things I have taken a part in the one and organized the other, and the first words of condemnation I have heard on account of either come from the man who desires to beat me for the of fice of mayor and to use these things as instrumentalities. I do not believe that our people have nnv censure for me for using some spare time in furthering the city’s de sire to have a baseball club. I do not believe there are any people in Atlanta who desire to abolish the drum corps Goodwin's Politiosl Trick.
