Watch Out, Country Folk i Your County Unit Plan Is in lUrger 2
I—JOKE SMITH’S little henchman, William
J. Harris, after trying to kill the county
unit plan at the regular meeting of the
Executive Committee has been scheming
against it ever since.
Jack Slaton’s slippery secretary, Ulm, is
the son-in-law of Hoke Smith’s secretary,
Josiah Carter.
Ulm and Carter are both against the county
unit plan.
Slaton and Smith are ’both against the
county unit plan.
Baldy Harris and Absentee Hardwick are
both against the county unit plan.
All the tricky politicians who defied the
people in 1911, and cheated them at the
Macon Convention of 1912 are afraid of the
votes of the countrty counties.
By analogy to our Federal Senate and Con
stitution, the county unit plan is good law.
By the Georgia Constitution of 1877, and
by the practise of 30-odd years, the county
unit plan is good law.
Just as the Federal Constitution protects
the small States, like Georgia and Florida,
from the big States, like New York and Ohio,
Hoke Smith’s Parrot Says I Have Attacked President Wilson. Here Es
IF WILLIAM J. HARRIS’
* owner, Smith, wants to face
me, and repel what he calls
my “attacks” on President Wilson, I will
time with him anywhere in Georgia,
provided half the meetings are held outside
of the large cities, where Smith can hire
hoodlums to howl me down.
I want half the debates to be real discus
sions, and not such affairs as that in the
Atlanta Auditorium where the hired rowdies
of the Atlanta Journal, of Hoke Smith, and of
Hardwick—ZecZ by Hardwick in person^ —
invaded the auditorium to break up the meet
ing, in the hope of getting a chance to safely
assassinate me.
These are the points that I have made
against President Wilson, and which I am
ready to maintain, in fair debate:
(1.) He gave the Morgan-Guggenheim,
Rockefeller Money Trust substantially the
same Currency-law which Senator Aldrich
and Paul Warburg (of the Jake Schiff firm)
had drawn up; and the bankers of the Money
Trust, Steel Trust and Oil Trust have been
appointed to control the entire currency sys
tem of this Republic.
(2.) President Wilson was elected on a
platform which pledged him to a system of
Rural Credits, so that the farmers could get
the same benefits of cheap money that the cor
porations have so long enjoyed.
President Wilson was not only pledged to
this, in his platform, but he himself promised
Congress that, if it would enact the new Cur
rency law, last year, the farmers should have
the Rural Credit system, this year.
This year came, and when certain Demo
- cratic Congressmen reminded President Wil
son of his pledge and declared their purpose

so the county unit plan protects the small
country counties from the huge numerical
superiority of Atlanta and other large cities.
Hoke Smith, the perfidious, is again try
ing to rob the country people of their lawful
rights.
He wants the chance to buy votes and stuff
ballot boxes in the big cities, so that Fniton
county, for example, can count for as many
as 40 small counties.
In the Nineties, the infamous Boykin
Wright stuffed enough ballots in the Augusta
boxes to disfranchise nine country counties.
J. J. BROWN AT WATSON’S
SPRINGS, JULY 4th.
Our friend J. J. Brown, Candidate
for Commissioner of Agriculture, will
be one of the speakers at a great rally
at WATSON’S SPPiNGS on the 4th
of July.
to carry it out, he coldly set his face against
it, and said there should not be any “govern
mental aid. to the farmers.”
Therefore, the sovereign power of controll
ing the nation’s money has been surrendered
bv tbe President to a few monarchs of finance,
who are already richer than Roman Emperors
over were, while the real producers of wealth
are left out in the cold, to be robbed as here
tofore, by extortionate compound interest.
The money-system of all the people is given
to those who do not need it; and those who do
need it are abandoned to the wolves of Wall
Street.
(3.) President "Wilson has insulted every
Protestant in America bv choosing for his
most confidential employee, a Jesuit whose
oath of order makes him the subject of an
Italian potentate, and a traitor to this coun
try.
(4.) The President insulted every Protest
ant in the Union when, on Thanksgiving
Day, he turned his back on the services of
Protestant churches, and officiallv attended
the Roman Catholic celebration, accompanied
by his official family of Cabinet officers.
(5.) The President has insulted every true
American by allowing Tumulty, the Jesuit,
to destroy thousands of private letters writ
ten to the President by those who voted for
him.
Tumulty denied an audience with the Presi
dent to the Bishop of Alaska, who waited ten
days to get one; and he refused admission to
the Shriners of California, who wished to pay
their respects to the President.
Tumulty has boasted offensively that the
The perfidious Smith wants to do the same
thing.
Hence, he and all hi- gang—Harri-. Sla
ton, Hardwick, Ulm, Carter, &c. —have been
working on the sly against the county unit
plan.
Another meeting of the Executive Con aft
tee has been called by Harris—the dishonest
chairman of the Macon Convention.
Why this second meeting?
117 m it that iv going to change h 7
vote?
WHO IS IT THAT HOKE SMITH HAS
BRIBED?
Let every man in Georgia rouse himself io
this desperate game of the political gamblers
to rob the country counties of the legal rights
which they had enjoyed without any interrup
tion whatever, until the balefid appearance
of Hoke Smith in Georgia politics.
It is he who has been the persistent and
treacherous enemy of the country counties.
It is he who is now desperately and under
handedly trying to kill the county unit plan,
in a second meeting of the Harris Commit
tee.

Thanksgiving, “whether the
people, ’who elected him liked it, or not."
(6.) The President has been recreant to
his trust, in dickering with the Italian church
about the Immigration bill.
He is aiding the Italian hierarchy to flood
this country with cheap labor, with luivigners
who do not speak our language, and papists
who have been taught by popish priests to
hate the very principles upon which our Gov
ernment is founded.
These popish immigrants, drawn from the
dregs of popish populations in Italy, Bulga
ria, Hungary and Poland are today a menace
to our domestic peace.
They have been systematically herded
together by padrones and priests, who pre
vent their intermingling with non-Catholics
speaking the English language.
Thus the Italian pope is building up a
popish empire in tbe midst of our Republic;
and the inevitable result will be that we must
either permit a constantly increasing portion
of our country to be ruled by Italian priests
who get their orders from Italy, or we must
again wage a bloody war for American Inde
pendence.
(7.) The President gives preference to
Roman Catholics in his public appointments;
and thus more than half the office-holders in
the civil service are subjects of the Italian
pope.
Not only is the Public Printer a rank pap
ist, who rides in a $4,000 automobile paid for
by Protestant tax payers, but he has filled that
vitallv important branch of the service with
foot-kissers like himself.
