HAS HOPES FOR UNCLE SAM.
Dear Sir: Congratulations on your
Victory in the courts. Hew much
longer is Uncle Sam going to play
stalking-horse for the popes? I know
the old gentleman has been “dead
easy” for the traitorous gang of
crossbacks ever since the tempest
uous Teddy’s regime, owing to the
unreliable servants and hostile in
fluences with which he was sur
rounded. But these are encouraging
signs that he is beginning to sit up
and take notice. Keep on rubbing it
into the old fellow. A stiff, vigorous,
weekly message with the purifying,
invigorating oil of true Democracy
will start the true red biood of
American patriotism to coursing up
and down his back and put some
much needed stiffening into it. and
he will soon be in condition to back
us up in the national house cleaning
which we hope to start next fall.
I am pleased to note that you are
being mentioned for president in the
Patriotic Press. 1 was with you in
the Populist movement, and did the
best I could for that cause with our
paper, the Industrial Educator, at
j. t Worth, Tex., until that party was
“fused” to death, and I am with you
in tnis fight. 1 want to see a good
true man nominated on a platform
declaring unequivocally tor a free
press, free speech, free schools, re
ligious freedom and prohibition. I
want to see a platform pledging
those who stand for office upon it to
revise and strengthen those laws so
that they cannot be evaded, and then
to rigidly enforce those laws.
I want to see a plank in that plat
form that will make it mandatory for
judges to demand of Catholic candi
dates for naturalization, that they
publicly and unqualifiedly renounce
their allegiance to the Pope of Rome,
as well as to the ruler of their native
country, including in suth renuncia
tion all of those dogmas and doc
trines of the Romish church, to
gether with the bulls and encyclicals
of the popes which denounce and con
demn every principle of free demo
cratic government and arrogantly as
sert the Pope’s right to depose
kings, princes, potentates and presi
dents, and to absolve Catholics from
Obeying the laws or non-Catholic
countries.
Upon the refusal of the applicant
to make fully and unreservedly such
renunciation naturalization should be
refused and the candidate should be
told that he is not fit to become a
citizen, to vote or to hold office I
want to see a platform that proposes
to exclude Catholics from teaching in
public schools and that prohibits
secret societies from equipping their
members with arms and ammunition,
and that promise to seize and confis
cate the arms of such societies.
Os course, a great hue and cry of
discrimination on account of religion
would be raised. But the foregoing
planks should be proceeded by a
preamble setting forth what every
body knows, that the Catholic church
is in truth and reality a thoroughly
organized political machine with the
most successful grafting attachment
ever devised.
That is the kind of a platform I
V.’culd like to vote for.

EAGERLY READING GRAND
MOTHER STORIES.
Dear Sir:We have had the copy of
the book, “Grandmother Stories,”
for several days, but 1 have not had
an opportunity of reading it as the
children are all so eager for it.
Judging from the name I was not
afraid to put the book into their
hands and they are reading it so
eagerly that I am sure that good re
sults will come of it.
It was our seventy-fourth book in
the library and wo are very proud of
the same.
Thanking you in the name of the
school for the lovely gift, I am,
Very truly yours,

THE JEFFERSONIAN
POLK COUNTY FARMERS UNION
ASK FOR RURAL CREDITS.
Hon. Gordon Lee, M. C.,
Dear Sir: We the members of the
Farmers Union of Polk County, Geor
gia, in session this the 15th day of
January, 1916, ask you our Cong
ressman, to use your vote and influ
ence for Rural Credits as promised
in the Baltimore Platform. We do
not want any substitute. Two years
have passed and not a word of that
sacred promise is written into law.
The honor of the Democratic Party
is at stake. All the use we have for
a party and its representatives is to
redeem its pledges and help us get
a square deal. Fact, this is the only
use people have for any party. We
notice the great Propaganda of the
administraton for preparedness which
we consider contrary to Democracy
as taught by the great founder Thos.
Jefferson. We think all these,
visionary enemies are only creatures
of imagination, of steel magnates and
munition owners, and the great capi
talist class in general. Foreign toes
is not the nightmare, but protection
of the fabulous Wealth of millionaires
and holding in subjection rhe great
masses who are being ground into
dividends. Who knows but what
those same guns would be turned on
the duped laborer like those used by
oar army upon the poor miners of
Ludlow Colorado to beat them back
and rhus continue to satiate the -maw
and gaw of John D Rockefeller.
What we want is not millions spent
to murder men with, but an appro
priation to Rural Credits to help men
to live and to help them to get homes.
We think we have enough tax to
make out on.
Seventy five per cent, of our people
are homeless, with debt hanging like
millstones around their necks. And
high rates of interest eating the life
blood out of the nation Why net
the farmer get money from our Gov
ernment like the National Bankers,
who tai ten while we famish.
Yours lor industrial freedom,
E. L THACKER. Sect.

rected that J. P. Hughes forward the
same ot Hon. Thos. E Watson
I wish to say to you personally,

in your great battle, which you have
been fighting for the people for so
long, and do trust that you will be
spared to continue in the good work
many years, and that the spirit may
take hold of a number of other in
telligent and brave men to join you
in helping to teach the people and
warn them of the dangers ahead, and
to direct them in such a manner as
that they enmasse may be moved in
one grand phalanx and march might
ily against our foes and arch enemies.
With best wishes for you and yours,
and the hope that you can be with
us soon. I am. most truly yours,
J. P. HUGHES.

LAXNESS OF LAW, CAUSE OF
CRIME.
Dear Sir: I heartily endorse what
you said last week about our people
not considering the value of their
votes, that is why Rome is making
such rapid strides to dominate
America with the one law for re
ligion and politics, and that com
pound law be dealt out by the pope,
and redished by his Archbishops,
Bishops and Priests to our American
people, and say to them away with
your public schools, doff your hats
and enter your children into our
Catholic schools, or let them go un
learned and untaught, except they be
taught that the priest is as good and
infaliable as Jesus Christ, and that
the pope has equal power with the
Lord God of Heaven.
I also endorse with my whole
heart what you have said about par
doning unworthy criminals in your
last Jeffersonian.
The laxness of the law in our state
failing to punish criminals at the
bar and then granting pardons after
one has been convicted, is the main
cause of more crime, than any and
all other causes combined, why be
cause our people have but little fear
of punishment at the hands of our
courts called laws of justice.
Find enclosed circular showing
how Rome, under the guise of the
Democratic executive committee are
trying to pull the muzzle over the
good people in the state of Florida.
With best wishes for your success
and that of men like you.
