THE AUGUSTA HERALD.
CLARK HOWELL PAID HIS RESPECTS TO
TOM WATSON AT EASTMAN YESTERDAY
“Personally I am But a Mere Incident of His
Assault. lam Not the Real Victim at
Whom He is Aiming/' Says Mr. Howell.
Again Takes Up the Matter of the Mc-
Gregor Letter.
KASTMAN, Oft., Jau. 18.—(Spe
cial.)—Hon Clark Howell yesterday
addressed an atidlenee hero.
After briefly referring to the In
troductory remarks concerning him
and to the cordiality of his reception,
Mr Howell proceeded at once to the
development of the propositions that a
deal had been hatched with Mr. I
Watson by which the democratic
party would In the end be the victim
if the democrata of the state permit
tee Mr. Wataon to dominate tbelr
counsels su<l dictate their pomlmv
tlon.
"By this," continued Mr. Howell,
”1 do not mean that I would exclude
from participation In our primary any
white man In Georgia who, regardless
of hlg past party affiliations, la now
a democrat and la willing to make
a pledge of hla loyalty ns such. The
door of the party primary should be
thrown wide open to every white
man who la honestly and sincerely a
democrat and who does not seek to
come back simply to wreak vengeance
upon the party. I would not exclude
even Mr. Watson If he should mako
open confession of democratic fiath.
make pledge of his loyalty for the
future and declare that from this day
henceforward he is a democrat ready
to work in democratic harness for
the upbuilding of our party and ready
to undo the work of destruction and
denunciation whirh has been the
chief aim of his life for the past sis-,
teen years. Unless he is prepared to!
niHke such confession and to guaran-:
tee hla future loyalty at least by his
pledge, he has no conceivable right
from any standpoint of politics or
morality to assume the role of party
dictator and to calmly arrogate to
himself the privilege of reading the
riot act to those democrats who pro-j
test against his interference, and
boldly challenge his effort at party
domination.
"Personally, 1 am ha* a mere inci
dent of his assault,” said Mr. Howell,
“1 am not, the real victim at. whom
he Is aiming. Ills scheme is far deep
er than that. He has openly declared
Ms purpose to overthrow the demo
cracy of the state and defiantly an
nounced that the surest wny for this
end to he accomplished is through
hL disfranchisement, scheme. He
has boldly confessed over his own
signature that he knew that Mr. Sib
ley was writing me after that tne
morahle eight day trip through the
mountains of Tennessee Hnd Virginia.
He confesses that he and Mr. Sib
ley had talked over the situation and
that he suggested that Mr. Sibley
write to me telling me how Hoke could
he -ofeated and how 1 could be nomi
nated. Mr. Sinitn was willing to take
his advice at the sacrifice of his con
victions and I was not, and that la
what is the matter with Mr. Watson
today. He has confessed over his own
signature that he has been in con
ference with Mr. Smith on the sub
ject of the latter s candidacy and ad
mits that he told Mr. Smith of' the
McGregor letter.
"You will recall, fellow citizens,
Mr. Smith's reference to that Mc-
Gregor letter in his Columbus ad
dress. Standing before that great au
dience he dramatically asked me If l
had not written a letter to Major Mc-
Gregor, declaring in favor of a prim
ary in which both democrats and anti
democrats might participate and chal
lenging me to produce the letter I
did so. and here is. word for word,
want I said In that letter, and it Is
just as good doctrine today ns It was
l.te day I wrote If. This’ Is what I
wrote:
1 do not believe that anybody would
seriously suggest the closing of the
ballot box against any white man on
account of PAST political affiliations.
The principal of the party has alwavs
been THK PLEDGE OK FUTURE
LOYALTY and an honest intention to
abide the result of the primaries,
'this has always been the position of
Ihe Constitution and ns a member of
the state committee ! have time and
again fought for that contention.. I
think there is absolutely xTt> difference’
between you and me ns regards that
matter.
Mr. Watson knew what that letter
was because he confesses that Major
McGregor hail shown it to him. And
yet he shrewdly sought to twist and
misinterpret It. No wonder that Ma
jor McGregor, than whom no more
honorable man lives in Georgia, very
promptly stood for the truth by auth-;
ortxiug the publication of the letter.
No Longer Any Doubt.
“And now since there can be no
longer any doubt as to where 1 stand
in the matt«A of admitting avowed en
emies of the party into Its counsels,
does it not strike you that It Is tint*
to have an expression from Mr. Smith
on the subject. There can be no doutb
as to what tnv position Is. but never
as yet has Mr. Smith declared his.
"No wonder The Macon Telegraph
whose democracy cannot be impeach
ed. Impatiently declares that It Is time
for Mr. Smith to make an expression
on the subject. Mr. Howell's position
on this question Is right.' says The
Telegraph, and the cry Is taken up by
nearly every democratic newspaper In
Georgia, regardless of their attitude
toward me personally, and naturally
The Telegraph and nnd all these other
democratic papers want to know if |n
criticising my letter to Major McGreg
or. Mr. Smith would ask the demo
cratic executive committee to adopt
k auy other couvs*.
"Why does he not speak out and tell
the people for what he stands? The
answer 1s simply enough. Ills hands
nnd hla tongue Is tied by the compact
he made with Watson, and he dares
not utter a sentiment that. Is not ap
proved by Watson! There Is no mat
ter more vital to the democratic party
than the qualification of those who
shall participate in party action. What.
Is the test Mr. Smith pro|M>ses to ap
ply?"
Mr. Howell took up the franchise
question and discussed it at. length on
the line of his Columbus address.
“1 am in favor of negro disfranchise
ment," said Mr. Howell, “but. I con
tend that tho negro is now disfran
chised by the only legal and effec
tive method by which he can be ell
mlnited as a facior in-our state elec
tions. The man who advocates
the Wat son-Smlth disfranchisement
scheme is In reality in favor disfran
chisement of thousands of whites and
the disfranchisement of thousands of
negroes.
“That is why I am opposed to any
such plan, endangering as it, will the
absolute white supremacy that now
prevails in the Stale of Georgia. The
proposition to disfranchise the
negro by adopting laws enact
ed by some of the other south
ern states is most dangerous, and wilt
result in the end in dividing the
white vote, breaking up the demo
cratic party and reenfranemsing the
negro on terms which will be de
bauching to party politics. No won
der the danger of democratic division
does not alarm Mr. Watson, for he
openly bases his support of the dis
franchisement scheme on the funda
mental proposition that it will over
throw the democracy and establish
his ascendency. He so stated in his
Atlanta address.
“The law proposed by them does
not on its face even contemplate the
exclusive disfranchisement of the ne
gro. and more than that, its advocates
confess that under the terms of the law
they propose the negro can he exclud
ed only by its fraudulent administra
tion. Have we come to the point in
Georgia where the state can commit
itself to the fradulent administration
of Its laws? Whenever that confession
Is made, neither life nor property is
safe.
Says It Would Create Ring.
“In this connection it is also worthy
of note that the first effect of this
very law will be to create an exclu
sive ring in every county In this state
in which three men will have the right
to pass upon the voting credentials
of the people. That Is to say, two
white men may come to those regis
trars and one may he registered be
cause he satisfactorily passes their
examination, being of the same poli
tical faith. The other white man may
be turned down because he does not
come up to their factional standard.
"Are yon ready to take such a step?
Already In the other states that have
adopted disfranchisement the total
vote has been steadily reduced, show
ing that the first effect Is to cut off
the franchise and thus endanger popu
lar white participation in elections.
The greater the vote the better it Is
for the public welfare. 1 would advo
cate no measure that would take away
the ballot from any white man.
"In specific terms this bill proposes
to disfranchise only the Ignorant
voter If the negro has the requisite
education and is not prevented from
so doing, he can vote, and no, legal
power can stop him. Pass this law
and the whites will be told that the
negro vote is eliminated and the white
vote can safely divide on economic
and other questions. The white pri
mary Is not enough, we are told; wc
must eliminate the negro and divide.
"A few elections between the par
ties representing the divisions of the
white vote obtained under these con
ditions and animosities will spring up
between them. Meanwhile the negro
is becoming niqre generally educated.
A heated contest arises between par
ties of nearly equal Btrengtn and Mt.
Smith openly claims that the white
vote of the state Is now so closely di
vided that the negro holds the bal
ance of power—aud each party will
turn to the negro vote. The whites
will registhr the negroes as voters in
order to beat each other and the re
sult will he the whites divided and
the negro vote, contended for by each
side, deciding our elections and de
bauching our politics. In other words
the very condition prophesied by Mr.
Watson and Mr. Smith can onlv he
brought alHuit by the disfranchisement
scheme they propose."
Negro Is Disfranchised Now.
"No one knows better than Mr. Wat
son that the negro Is absolutely dis
franchised in Georgia today, and that
the proposed new legislation Is in
tended not to disfranchise the negro,
i hut to defeat the democratic party.”
To substantiate this statement. Mr.
Howell quoted literally from Mr. Wat
son-* own words on page 263 of the
current Issue of hts magazine, as fol
lows:
"The ring rulers have aiready dis
i franchised the negro, in effect, by the
practice of the nominating primary,
called the white primary. In this
nominating primary no negro is al
lowed to vote: and whoever gets the
nomination in the white primary gets
what is equivalent to an election, for
the reason that the negroes are in a
minority In the state and could not
elect a ticket If they tried. The ne-,
gro is not allowed to help nominate.
H« ran cast hi* ballot In the general
election and ratify the uctlon of the
w’hlte primary. If he likes. Or he can
east a ballot of vain protest. Neither
his vote of ratification nor of protest
amount* to a row of pins. Everything
has been already decided In the white
primary, and the vote of the negro Is
reduced to waste paper. Is that plain?
At. the present time the qualified negro
voters of Georgia have a •legal right
which is of no value to them. They
have a franchise, but nowhere to put
it. They have a theoretical right to
swim, hut are practically denied ac
cess to the water. Burning with the
thirst, of Tantalus, the water surrounds
them, but mocks them, for they can
not drink. The white primary com
pletely deprives the negro of his op
portunity to make use of his vote.”
Mr. Howell said: "In a preceding
issue of his magazine Mr. Watson in
undertaking to explain why the demo
cratic party opposed negro disfran
chisement, made perfectly clear the
motive underlying his advocacy of
that measure in the following words:
’The populists of Georgia have a ma
jority of the while vote. They know
it. And the democrats know it.’
"And now. democrats, you are asked
to put your head into the yawning
lion’s mouth presented by Mr. Watson,
who assumes to dictate to Georgia
democracy what it shall do!”
Continuing. Mr. Howell said: "The
cumulative effect of our poll tax pro*
vision has effectually raised the bat
against thousands and thousands of
negroes who have not paid their taxes
since 1877. and whoie taxes cannot
he paid, covering a period of that
length of time, for the amount of ar
rearage taxes now due by them is
simply staggering in Its magnitude.
Kfcep in view the fact, however, that
over one hundred thousand negro chil
dren are now in our common schools,
educationally equipping themselves t
for the day when their vote might
kill yours and mine—the day when —
ns prophesied by Mr. Watson and'Mr.
Smith —‘organized democracy can no
longer be maintained in Georgia by the
white vote.' As these negroes reach
voting age. if educationally equipped,
they will be entitled hv law’ to vote
and with the white vote divided earn
side will go after them and the satur
nalia that wfll ensue will be enough to
make every white man in Georgia
curse the day that the white demo
cratic primary was abandoned and
such a plan substituted.
“If I favored the kind of disfran
chisement advocated by Mr. Smith l
would certainly favor a division of
the school funds among blacks and
whites in proportion to the ta*es
paid by each. I would not say that
I am in favor of giving the ballot
to every educated negro and then In
the same breath express a doubt as
to the feasibility and the legality of
making this division of the school
fund. I would not go Into my pock
ets and contribute funds from my
purse to educate the negro to equip
him to kill my ballot, as Mr. Smith I
has done. I would not go to the At
lanta negro university as Mr. Smtlh
did. and make a report to the gover
nor of the Rtate that this institution
is accomplishing w'onderful work iv>
the development, of the negro, when
hi the very time It was educating
white children along with negro chil
dren so openly and so flagrantly that
Ihe legislature took away the state
appropriation from that, negro in
stitution and put the
in another college in Savannah
which resorted to no such educational 1
frill;!. If we can legally disfran
chise the engroes we can legally sep
arate the school funds. If one will
stand the test of the courts the other
will and it seems to me to be most
Inconsistent that, the dhifranchisers
should smack at one proposition and
gag %t the other.’
Corporations Must Deal Fairly.
Mr. Howell reiterated much of
what he said in his Columbus ad
dress, demanding that the corpora
tions deal fairly with the people and
taking the position that the people
in turn would deal fairly by them.
"Mr. Smith." said he. “claims that
1 1 was against the Berner bill and
other sntilar measures when those
radical measures were under consid
eration of the general assembly of
which 1 was a member sixteen years
ago. Ido not hcsjtate to say that
I did oppose these bills hecause they
were radical, dangerous and unneces
sary.
“When your state constitution spe
cifically says that a thing can or can
not be done, all the laws you may
pass would not make the declaration
more positive, but on the other hand
would tend to throw doubt and uncer
tainty upon the very deciration of
the constitution. 1 opposed these
bills as being hurtful to the state
and as calculated to break down our
development. They were on a par
with Mr. Smith’s idea to forcibly take
the railroads in Georgia from their
owners where owned by persons liv
ing outside of the state, and trans
fer -them by violent process to Geor
gia ownership, which is confiscation,
pure and simple.
"The Berner bill would have plung
ed every railroad In Georgia, which
It w-as claimed fell under its terms,
into litigation which would have ter
minated in the forfeiture of their
charters. This means that they
would have been sold out through the
couryt and wound up. Fine fees,
no doubt, for Mr. Smith, hut where
would it have left the thousands of
Georgians who owned this stock,
many of them widows and orphans.
’ These bills were opposed bv such
men as Joseph Lamar, Thomas G.
Lawson. Roger Gamble, Dr W. H.
Felton. W. C. Glenn, the author of the
act for the county taxation of rail
roe dt, and others of the ablest and
rrost conservative members of the
legislature, and even though they
were defeated by the legislature, the
campaign of conteplated forfeiture
made financiers timid, the roads were
unable to negotiate their bonds to

tution's competlve clause was at stake
but we, are not reaping the benefit
of that very consolidation because in
stead of having the general operating
headquarters here, It was driven out
of Georgia to Washington, while the
ownership of all the consolidated
porpertles remains in New York.
Corporations To Defeat Competition.
’’When the corporations were doing
their greatest damage in defeating
the competition clause of the stats
constitution, they Instinctively turned
1 1 the man who had been leadln j tha
fight, against that very thing and *»
it was that his batteries wero silenced
along that line and that he appeared
as the champion of the consolidators.
And that’s why the Southern own*
the Central today, through a ‘holding
committee.’
Mr. Howell took up Smith’s ques
tion to him at Columbus about the ap
pointment of McWhorter by Gover
nor Terrell, Smith having asked him
what he had to say about It.
“I told him very plainly," said Mr
iU’well, ‘that if th» question had
come before me I won 1 no*, have
made the appointment. And yet I do
not question either Governor Ter
rell’s interest or his motives. More
than that. I will say that If I had to
choose between Smith and McWhor
ter, I would unhesitatingly choose
the latter, for he is at. least consistent.
But I would take neither. Whenever
the corporations have wanted Mr.
Smith, they have reached out. and got.
ten him without the slightest trouble.
McWhorter was Terrell's friend, just
as Smith was, the difference between
them being that Smith did not think
of denouncing the governor until he
l f cornc a candidate for office and th-*n
l e was ready to sacrifice his convic
tions about Terrell Just as be had
sacrificed his convictions on disfran
chisement to get Watson's support.
“And while on Governor Terrell, let
me say if he had done nothing else
as governor, his splendid work in
recommending and pushing through
through the franchise tax. and the
state corporation tax. should entitle
him. forever, to the good will and the
confidence of the people of
Georgia. From theße two sources
alone the state's taxable val
uations have been increased
to the equivalent of approxiy
mately one hundred million dollars a
year and in the case of the corpora*,
t'en tax such a measure was never
even suggested in the general assem
bly until prepared by Governor Ter
rell in his last annual message. It
ie only a coward or a poltroon who
is willing to deny to any honest man
his just desert, and if I were Gov
ernor Terrell’s enemy rather than his
fr'c-r.d, I could at least do him the
common Justice of giving; him the
cedit of having: advocated and ap
proved two of the most far-reaching
corporation tax laws ever enacted un
der any admla'at.-ction in ihis state."
Passion and Prejudice Deprecated.
Mr. Howell concluded by deprecat
ing the appeals to prejudice and pas
sion In the settlement of political con
troversies, emphasizing the fact that
in all the campaigns in the southern
dates over the f ,; rtranchlseme;it ques
tion this was the only Instance in
which the issue had ever bean used as
stepping stone for Individual prefer
ment. In North Carolina and South
Carolina. Alabama. Mississippi and
Louisiana, every one of these states
had been discreet enough to divorce
the issue from personal politics, each
state acting upon the measure inde
pendently of its state house officer*.
It was too big an Issue to become in
volved in the meshes of personal pol
itics and this campaign in Georgia Is
the only instance on record where
appeals to racial prejudice and pas
sion, arising out of the discussion of
this question, has been used for in
dividual preferment.
“Bo far as 1 am concerned,” said
Mr. Howell, "I would prefer to go
