Vol. 13, No. 44
/1 \ THAT 165 of the Electoral votes, out
V * / of the 266 necessary to elect a Presi
dent. come from the Solid" South, where the
Democratic party lashes white men into a
blind political obedience more abject than the
wage-slavery of Northern corporations over
ignorant immigrants?
The stagnant South furnishes almost two
thirds of the electoral votes which elect a
Democratic President, but the Democratic
President shows greater consideration to the
one State of Ohio, or the one State of New’
York, than he pays to all of the Southern
States.
Why is this?
It is because Ohio is not the helpless slave
of either political party. It is doubtful, and
may be carried by either; hence both compete
for its vote.
The State of New York does not wear the
badge of servitude of either party. It is not
the property of the Democrats, nor of the Re
publicans. Either party may lose it, which
means that either may win it: hence, both
strive to carry off the prize, and New York
reaps east financial and political benefits from
THE COMPETITIVE STRUGGLE FOR
ITS SUPPORT.
But the fourteen States that are usually
counted as belonging to the Solid South com
mand no consideration whatever, from either
of the two great parties, except in the ap
pointment of a few men to office.
In legislation, in governmental policies, and
in.the Presidential attitude toward public
sentiment, the South counts for nothing.
A Democratic administration makes no
WOODROW WILSON’S NEGLECT OF HIS FIRST WIFE’S GRAVE.
IN our “Notes on Georgia Affairs,” The Jef
* fersonian published last week the following
letter from a gentleman at Rome, Georgia:
Rome, Ga., October
Dear Sir: lam writing you for a little infor
mation in regard to letting the people of Georgia
know that the grave of the late Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson lias never had a marker or anything, to
show where she was buried. Tne Woman’s Club
of Rome and the Eastern Star have kept it cared
for this year. Seems to me that the qnly first
lady of the land, from Georgia, the garden spot
of the South, should have a market or something
to show that it was proud of having one lady that
could grace the White House.
Trusting that you will give this notice to the
State so that they will take immediate steps to
have a marker of some kind placed at this grave,
I am, Yours very truly,
, . F. H.
I was particularly impressed by the facts
above stated, because the Northern news
papers were being filled, then, with the de
tailed account of how President Wilson had
gone shopping at an expensive Jewelry
establishment —not his wife’s, however —and
had purchased a magnificent diamond brooch,

effort to conserve its interests, and a Republi
can administration makes none to protect
them.
Why is this?
Because the Democratic President knows
that he cannot lose the Southern States,
and the Republican President knows that he
cannot win them.
. Neither side considers the South, for the
simple reason that neither has any motive to
do so.
Why should a Democratic President do any
thing for Southern interests, when the votes
are irrevocably his?
And why should a Republican President do
anything for our welfare, when he knows that
lie will gain nothing by it ?
So there you are—a wiggle-tail in a stag
nant well: a tadpole in a motionless pool: a
moss-bearing carp in an artificial slime
covered pond.
Had it been otherwise. Woodrow Wilson
and his son-in-law, McAdoo, would not have
“held up” the Democrats in Congress, forced
them to change the Aldrich.-Vreeland law as
demanded by Wall Street, issued $±00,000,060
of new paper money at 3 per cent interest,
loaned that enormous sum to the gamblers,
refused loans to Southern farmers, and thus
applied thevpressure to sell cotton at 6 cents
a pound, supplied the gamblers the ready and
cheap cash to buy the cotton, and then im
mediately insured the S3O bale with a govern
ment policy of $70 — thus robbing Democratic
farmers of at least four hundred million dol
lars on one crop.
To that colossal and most cruel crime
the diamonds being set m which is
at present, vastly more valuable than gold.
Let me lay one of the newspaper clippings
before you: it is a special to the New York
Tribune, of Monday, Oct. 16, 1916:
PRESIDENT GIVES WIFE
BROOCH ON BIRTHDAY.
Family Dinner Party at Shadow Lawn Marks
Anniversary.
Long Branch, N. J., Oct. 15. —The mystery at
tached to the purchase of a diamond and platinum
brooch by President Wilson in an Asoury Park
jewelry shop Saturday afternoon was solved to
night, when a birthday dinner was held at Shadow
Lawn, the “summer White House.*’ It was the
birthday of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, and the Presi
dent presented the jewel to her.
All day the kitchen was the scene of greatest
activity, and the cook was in a state of nervous
anxiety lest any of the dishes, especially the five
story cakes baking in the oven, should fall below
the point of perfection.
The celebration was informal, only the .mem
bers of the family being present to sample the
cake and wish the “first lady of the land’’ many
happy returns.
On Friday, the 14th, the gentleman at
against the Democratic farmers of the South,
President Wilson and his son-in-law were the
indispensably necessary collusive parties.
That was two years ago; and now you are
asked to forget this infamous outrage, which
utterly ruined tens of thousands of Democrats,
reducing their wives and children to want;
and the city editor, who is always against you
when the pinch, comes, cracks the party lash in
your face, and dares you to vote against THE
MEN WHO ROBBED YOU.
(2.) Did the Democratic dailies tell you
that, on Feb. 16, 1916, the German govern
ment absolutely refused to admit that it had
done wrong in sinking the Lusitania passen
ger ship without warning, but admitted that
it was wrong to murder the 119 Americans,
offered to pay $5,000 apiece for the men. the
women, and the children thus murdered— and
that OUR GOVERNMENT ACCEPTED
THE BARGAIN?
It has leaked out. within the last few days,
that Ambassador Bernstorff submitted a writ
ten proposition along the above lines, and that
President Wilson never 'replied; and that
both sidesy have been treating the
murders of those Americans by the Germans
as a closed incident.
The New York and Washington papers
have been full of it, and the exposure of the
facts has created a deep and most painful
sensation.

Home wrote the letter about the unmarked
grave of the President's GEORGIA WlFE—
the mother of his grown daughters, the grand
mother of his grandchildren.
On Thursday, the 13th, the re-married
President had gone to the Asbury Park
jewelry store, and had himself selected a most
costly diamond gift, to mark the birthday of
the second wife, the former Mrs. Galt.
Gentlemen, the facts are ugly? But they
are characteristic of Woodrow Wilson.
What chance would Charles Hughes have
to get the votes of decent' white Americans
anywhere, if the Democrats could show that
he had been enjoying a salary of $75,000 a
year, and could never spare enough of it to
mark his wife's grave?
Let the Wo'man’s Club continue to keep the
weeds cut; and let the Eastern Star put
flowers on it. from time to time: but as for the
man whose poverty and struggles she shared,
and whose children she brought forth in the
agonies of motherhood, let Wilson forget all
about it. as he selects from.the gems of the
jewelry shop a princely gift for the mYv
wife.
