\ fore Christmas. I as much believe
■he is the murderer of poor Mary
Phagan as I believe in an eternal
i God, and the only one that killed
i her. I felt so relieved when the
' murderers of Mrs. Irby paid the pen
alty, now Leo Frank ought. This is
a hard saying for a woman, but when
I consider their victims I think I’m
fair. I never read such thrilling let
ters as yours on the Frank case.
No wonder your paper sold so well,
and I believe it will again, on the
same case, if you write any more on
it. If not this case, it will on other
live issues. I trust God will protect
you and yours with your great pub
lishing concern and allow our good
friend and great captain to continue
to teach and lead us these evil days
and through perilous days in the
near future. I would be willing to
join a white apron brigade to pro
tect you.

A NORTHERN PREACHER EN
DORSES “THE JEFFERSO
NIAN.”
My Dear Brother Watson: Two
copies of your heroic paper have
come out of the Southland to this
dark benighted State of New Jersey,
and I have not read anything so re
freshing for twenty years as “The
Jeffersonian.”
I was for 16 years pastor of the
Eastern Presbyterian church in
Washington, D. C., and there fired
just the same kind of shot and shell
in the days when the A. P. A. was
in its glory. The bold, unblushing
attacks of Rome, and the craven
heartedness of so called Protestants,
was never more in eviednce than
now.
My reply to Cardinal Gibbons
aroused great hostility to me: but
my last lecture on “Romanism and
the Republic,” silenced them for a
few months, then came out twelve
other lectures, viz. “Rome’s False
Foundations,” “Purgatory a Lie,”
“Rome’s Prisons, the Monasteries
and Nunneries,” etc., with facts re
ferring to what I knew about Brook
land institutions.
I used to write for the “American
Citizen,” and lectured in Boston
also and was the friend of Justin D.
Fulton for over 25 years.
This being a part of my record,
you cannot be at all astonished at
my joy over your solid shot at that
political machine the Papal church.
God bless and keep you under His,
wings. They would gladly assassi
nate you if they dared. . I know too
well their damnable tricks.
Keep hammering on, we will yet
get them on the run and preserve
our free institutions for the genera
tions to follow us.
Faithfully thine,
N. J. THOMAS C. EASTON.

ANOTHER HOG-EYE TRICK.
I
Dear Sir: I have not seen very
much about the election but of course
it went the Hog-eye route. I want
to let you know how a trick was
worked at Meansville, Pike County,
Georgia. A Mr. Nelson mailed to
Mr. J. C. Davis a lot of Progressive
tickets by Parcels Post on Monday
before the election Tuesday, and Mr.
Davis went to the post office in per
son the same day they were mailed
and called for his mail and did not
receive the package with the tickets
in it and did not receive it until the
election was over, then it was
marked missent, but had no other
post mark but Meansville, and there
were only two Progressive tickets at
the Piedmont precinct. The voters
were told to write their choice of
candidates on Democratic tickets, so
don’t you see there is something
wrong somewhere. This mail only
had to go about three miles and this
man had been receiving his mail by
this route at least two years, but the
carrier is a Hoke man. You can
learn more about this by writing to
Mr. J. C. Davis, Meansville, Ga.
PROGRESSIVE.
THE JEFFERSONIAN
The Democratic Party
of Today vs. Forty
Years Ago
Hon. G. R. Hutchens.
HE election of November 3rd
has brought forth some com
ment from the press of the-
State, and, in fact, has had
E
some considerable notice out
side the State of Georgia. It may
be said then to be of more than or
dinary interest. This election in
Georgia has a meaning. What is it?
There perhaps might be a differ
ence of opinion as to what it means,
as all of us would not observe from
the same view point; and the mean
ing attributed be varied, according
ly. The votes received by Mr. Mc-
Clure and myself in our respective
races against Mr. Smith and Mr.
Hardwick was not due to our per
sonal popularity or activity. We
both have personal friends and ac
quaintances over the State, but it
cannot be attributed to this, except
to a minor degree.
We had to fight all the power and
personality of the present Wilson
administration, with the personalty,
power and relationship of every
Federal office-holder in the State,
including post masters in every city,
town and village—every newspaper
in the State ,to a greater or less de
gree, except occasionally a negative
utterance by some conscious editor,
who boiled over with indignation
about the state of affairs in general.
We had to fight the bluff, bluster
and intimidation of the State Demo
cratic Committee, with all the per
sonal and political influence of its
members. We had to face the
charge of being bolters of the pri
mary, and our would be supporters
were threatened with disfranchise
ment if they voted for us. In spite
of all this, our race shocked the
whole State, and commanded great
attention from the whole country.
What does it mean?
The only thing that saved Smith
and Hardwick from defeat was their
so-called Democratic nomination,
protected by a mistaken sentimen
tality. An open race tvould have
swamped them, in my judgment.
No party has a personality, per.
se. No party has any standing, ex
cept as it is made up of individual
members. A political party cannot
be pure and clean when its mem
bers are corrupt. This statement I
risk for challenge by any one.
The corrupt politician of today,
who affiliates -with the Democratic
party, and, perchance, might control
its present policies, who, in order to
maintain that control, reminds our
people that the “Grand Old Demo
cratic Party saved our State in for
mer times, and preserved our inter
ests and institutions,” prostitutes
the fair name the party bore fifty
years ago, and this is where the
mistaken sentiment is used to pro
mote a corrupt enterprise, and one
in failing circumstances.
If we had the men of fifty years
ago at the head of the party in Geor
gia, there would be no need for oppo
sition—Judge Nat Harris had no op
position. None bad opposition save,
the two who pulled through on the
sainted record of men who did save
our State, and who did not sneak
into office on the record of another.
The one thing further I desire to
say is that the Democratic party of
today is not the Democratic party of
forty years ago, nor of thirty, or
even twenty years. So do not con
fuse the two for they are very dis
similar.
The Democratic party in 1916 will
lose out, and the country will settle
upon a policy more business like and
wholesome, avoiding the fatal errors
made by those now conducting our
affairs of State.
The party now in power has not
kept its pledges to the people, and
Georgia, in particular, has had little
consideration. Hence the vote on
November 3rd.
Our people, in 1916, will not con
fuse the party dominant in Georgia
forty years ago, with the present
kaleidoscopic organization. . The
broken pledges of the Baltimore
Convention; the broken pledges and
rascality of the Macon Convention
will not be forgotten in two years.
What I may do two years from
now, if I live, depends upon what I
believe to be for the best interest of
my State. Certain it is that I shall
not subscribe to the narrow, un-
American policy of the present day
democracy.
THE JEFF’S JACKSONVILLE
AGENT IS ENCOURAGED.
Dear Sir: The Jeffersonians or
dered were received yesterday after
noon and I got busy this morning
and put the papers out on the
streets. They sold like wild fire. I
could have sold several hundred
more I believe if I' had had them.
We are hoping to see the street sales
of your paper go up each week, but
might suggest it would not be a bad
policy to have some local news in it.
This is only a suggestion.
I am informed that the paper
created some little stir among some
of the Irishmen this morning, but
what of it? lam able to stand my
ground and do what an American is
given under the Constitution, “free
dom of speech” and to do as he
please, so long as he does not in
fringe upon the rights of another.
God speed your cause for right,
and here is trusting that soon you
may be sending Jacksonville 1,000
papers per week instead of 200.
Once upon a time there was a
Catholic in the city of Jacksonville
who was so well thought of that a
beautiful park in one of the subrubs
was named after him which was
called “Dignan Park.”
Some time ago a street preacher
was in Jacksonville who created
quite a little stir among the Catholic
laity. This mater has not' been for
gotten and one of the councilmen
decided it was a good time to change
the name of this park and he pro
ceeded to introduce an ordinance
changing its name to “Confederate
Park.” This idea seemed to meet
the approval of the public and the
matter was so agitated that the or
dinance was passed by the council
and promptly approved by the
mayor. Therefore we have no more
Dignan Park.
Yours truly,
A SUBSCRIBER.
