\ I Here Shall the Press the People’s Rights Maintain * / BY JOHN M BROWN. 1 BAIR BRIDGE, GEORGIA. THURSDAY MQRRINC, JULY 16. 1908. | Vol. 39—Ho. 16—Sl.oo a Year j THE BLIND MAN’S CONVENTION K» A Western paper suggests that 8 11 <Innking men be force<] to wear badges. That’s not necessary at all. The Joe Brown papers in Georgia ar«- still very chesty over their re cent victory They don’t like any gugges ions from the “opposition ” It is sta’ed that Mr. Bryan’s pa per. the Commoner, will suspend it he goes to the Whit' House, Can eome one figure trom this how old the paper will live to be?—Valdosta Times ’Twill be atter W. J. :s carted to t' c bone yard, for sure. 'Pom Watson says that if Georgia will give him her electoral vote he will return it in case the .Demo crat need i*. Tommy, we are “i feared of ye.” By Rev. Alexander W. Bealer, in Atlanta Cosmopolitan, June 24, 1918. Yesterday Governor Fred r rick J. other piper published at Macon, Tin- o/'urt of appeals’ ruling on the legitimate club not a public pace, made the mixed drinks taste tnoie secure last week, but the <k- Paxon signed the bill passed by the legislature 1 tst week to pur chase the home of ex-President Hcke Smith, on West P*aehtree street ana te use it as a memorial hall to commemorate the services ot that distinguished statesman to the commonwealth o. Georgia. It is an houorworthily bestowed and one that meets the hearty appoval of the best people of the state regardless of political preferences. How true is it that time plays manv pranks upon the people! fids may be seen when we remind onr readers that ye&ieiday wa* the fifti eth anniversary of the famous ; <». litical guttering that met to nom inate Joseph M. Brown tor governor of the state, to succeed lloke Smith whom he defeated alter a term of , one year in office. It has come | dawn in history es “The u.iii.d | Man’s Convention,” a name which j we can see at this distance was very ! justly earned aid aptly given It th • n ime of which we canacl recall at ihis time, actually claimed, so we are informed by an ancient polite* cian, that Hoke Smith was resporn* si de for the panic o f 1907 which was sweeping all over the world. Many o! the men who attended t r at that convention and who took a very active part in the defeat of Hoke Smith actually believed it. It ifc hard to see at this time hew men with real sound judgment could be affected hy such a silly claim as ai.d manag 'd with great ability the campaign that '"called Hoke Smith 1 from bis law office to be a candidate for the United States Senate in 1914. That was possibly the most brilliantly conducted campaign in the history ot Georgia politics. None the lees brilliant was the race made by E. H. Calloway, who was governor for two years, having been elected to that office on a platfonm embodying aV the principles enun ciated by Hoke Smith in his race for the governor’s office. Judge Calloway was in the Blind Man’s Convention but he had his eyes opened aa«l was one ot the strong- tisiou exactly quadrates with ° ,M |' Wdg made up of men in all walks ot of tin" personnel of the j Wmo lr»)> opinion court. life, 1 majority of them be-ng h:gl toned, liMUor.iole Christian gentle- meu of fine juugment and business Georgia’s Court of Apt' als bus j se ,; se> many ot whom had fortunes ■tor them-elves 11? the world of com merce, .in.] yet they were strangely blinded by the men whose liberties decided that serving beer at a bar becue is not violating the law against keeping i at public places.

Looking back upon that campaign today we can see bow these men were blinded bv the shrewdness ot the railroad magnates and tbe cor poration km sis For many years the corpoiations had dominated the politics of the state ot Creorgia and they had pretty much their own way until in l90ti Hoke Smith, who had been in the c-a met of President Grovei Cleveland, annouced himself as a candidate for the governor’s cha r. Alter a most exciting cam paign he was elected by an over whelming majority over a number of distinguished opponents. The men at the head o! the corporation* began at once to accomplish the overthrow of the governor, the only man who had ever succeeded in blocking them to any appreciable exten*. They stopped work on cer tain improv meats they had been making, some of them took money from the banks of Georgia and sent this oni* wa used today among tbe negroes : bat even it it was attempted among the p Kuer class ot whites th** parties at;emp ins such a thing would be 1: gbed out of court, ot»t r esl lnglW'.i:<* honorable, sensible, level, headed business men believed it and b. at their btst eftor's to the eh at of Uoke Smith and to tffce ele tioii of ilr.

He became genuinely penitent and was one of the strongest supporters of trie po icies ot Hoke Smith. From this his distinguished son inherited the principles that placed him in the governor’o office and gave Geo/gia one ol the best governors she ever had. T e men of that convention tvere blinded to the claims of their chil dren A Christian man wsb the nominee and a majority of the deles gates were Christian men, but they went u ild over some ot the speeches that were made b another class o: men.
