The newspapers are discussing
with no little avidity the proposition

from a Kansas district where she is
a candidate.

running In a district that at the last
election gave the Republican candi

PREDICTIONS ABOUT WAIL
n justice to my self and in the
interest of fair play, I desire to make
the following statement:
On August the 3rd, I was in Da-
but the belief j niascus, Georgia, and went to hear
.Judge Cox speak. He began about
five o’clock and spoke about twro
hours, until almost dark, moBtly
criticising the record of the Con
gressman. At its conclusion some
of the people called for me, and
Judge Cox kindly pulled me up on
the platform. I briefly referred to
the efforts that Judge Cox had made
i ring the election of Park over
tliose splendid citizens. Messrs. Cov
ington and Luke, and I regretted
tht he was not still for Park. I ex
plained his attack on the Baker-
litchell county bridge, telling them
the bill carried no appropriation,
that the law required the consent of
Congress before a bridge could span
navigable stream, and that it
ould not bankrupt the United
States Treasury as Judge Cox claim
ed in his speeches. In like manner,
I spoke of his attack on the appro
priation for Miller County, and 1
a’so discussed the Canal Bill, the
Pension Law, the distribution of in
formation over the District by means
of the frank, and the Mexican bill.
I then told them that Frank Park
from early infancy had always been
my ideal as a boy, as a young man,
and as a citizen. I sketched his
struggles over difficulties and pov-
rty. and confessed that I had in
jected the card in the last campaign

referring to the “Old Field School"
Early County were present at the
discussion between Walter Park,
over his protest, for the reason that
I was trying to get the people who
did not know him to realize the true
character of the man. and used that
’y as an illustration of the same,
and told them that if the people
would Investigate his character, his
honesty and his life's work, all the i
forces now combined against him'
would amount to nothing. I then
referred to the continuous attacks
Judge Cox was making on Judge
Park, charging -im with disloyalty
to his friends, the Improper use of
his Congressional frank, referring
to his treachery and ridiculing him
in eveTy way possible. I then asked
if Judge Cox was In the audience,
and he answered that he was, and
I stated that I would not refer to
his record unless he was present at
the time: and I requested to be al
lowed to ask him certain questions
regarding his own record. Then,
In as courteous and fair a manner
as possible. I asked Judge Cox the
following questions:
Q—Do you recall the Spencer
Clark case from Turner County?
No answer.
Q—Was he not Indicted by the
grand jury of that county for mur

No answer.
Q—Was he not duly tried by

Q—Did a single member of the

that you requested and urged that
he grant him a pardon without de
lay?
No answer.
Q—Did not the then
Slaton write you that It was unus
ual to act on such matters without
the recommendation of the Pardon
Board?
No answer.
Q—Finally, did you not send the
following telegram?
‘‘Gov. John M. Slaton,
C/o of State Capitol,
Atlanta, Ga.
“Letter concerning Spencer
Clark received. Hope you will
pardon him at once and not wait
for recommendation of Prison
Commission.
* (Signed E. E. COX.’’
No answer.
I then extended to him the plat
form with every consideration and
asked him to explain his conduct in
this matter. He came on the plat
form under great excitement with
both hands up with the expression,
“My God! My God! Am I to be in
sulted in this way?” I told him
kindly that l meant to offer no In
sult but only asked him regarding
the record of the correspondence
between him and former Governor
Slaton. He then reached In his
pocket and pulled out a letter whldh
he said was unsigned and said that
the letter Informed him -that^a
charge was being made that he had
received $1,000 for that pardon; I
promptly and earnestly begged him
not to mention anything of that
hind and .that I did not intimate
that there was anything of that
kind in connection with this par
don, and that all that I wanted him
to do was to explain that record. I
did not mention anything regarding
any “consideration,” nor did I sug
gest directly or indirectly that there
was any Improper motive on his part,
or that of former Governor Slaton
with whom the correspondence took
place. He never answered, in any
way, the above questions, nor did
he give any explanation at that
time; he seemed so excited that he
did not realize what he was saying,
and often asked the people to please
be good. I treated him with abso
lute courtesy and fairness from
tart to finish. There was no Jeer
ing on the part of any of my friends;
there was not' more than one hun
dred and twenty-five people present,
counting in the women and children.
There was no cause whatsoever for
the excitement and rage of Judge
Cox.
(Signed.) WALTER PARK.
I was present only from the time
that Judge Cox took the letter out
of his pocket, but from that point
on I know to be true, and I wish to
say further that I have never seen
anyone treat another with any more
courtesy and fairness than Walter
Park treated Judge Cox in every
particular.
^ T. J. HOWELL, Sheriff, ’
Early County, Ga.
We, the undersigned citizens of
Gov. Slaton to PARDON THIS- MAN
WITHOUT EVEN THE RECOMMEN
DATION OF THE PRISON COM
MISSION AND “AT ONCE”?
Q—Why did Gov. Slaton pardon
this man "at once” WITHOUT THE
PRISON COMMISSION HAVING
FIRST PASSED ON IT?
Q—Can you recall a single other
instance where any Governor ever
|pardoned a man, unless such paraon
had been passed on by the Priron
Commission?
Q—If all agreed that a pardon
should be asked for this “hoy,” why
did not all ask it of Gov. Slaton?
Q—If the evidence showed he was
not guilty, and no one wanted him
punished, why was he coerced into
pleading guilty at all?
Q—Now. as to this “innocent
boy,” kindly state how many times
Governor he has been indicted by the grand
juries—and is he not over 30 years
old?
Q—Is he not right at this very
moment under indictment by the
grand Jury of Mitchell County for
Cow Stealing?
Q—Have not people the right to
ask questions regarding the record
of a judge just as well as the rec
ord of the Congressman?
Respectfully submitted,
(adv.) WALTER PARK.
