Watson in a personal letter to a friend in Americus says: “While I honestly think that Governor Smith ought to have com muted the sentence in the Augusta case, as well as in the Savannah case, and should hot have granted a full pardon in the Neal case, these things alone would never have caused me to take*the position with reference to his administration which I have felt myself compelled to take. It is Governor Smith’s failure to keep his pledges and his reversal of positions which Ih* has taken on pulic matters, notably the concentration of*p<over in the four big cities, that have made it imposi bh'for me to support him again.” Mr. Howard McElr ath and .1.

SHANNON resigns chairmanship Of Commerce Anli-Sebon League and Stales His Reasons Therefor. • —————— Cumim rc ■, Ga., May 7. —Mr. J. F. Shannon t<nd<red his resigna tion as president of the t'onnnerue Anti-Sab...n League yesterday. 11 its reasons follow: “1 have Always been an ardent prohibitionist. The first vote I •ver east for a president of the United States was east for a prohi bit'. mist. Sine-then I have always advocated prohibition, and voted for it when the issue was presented on its m riis. Hut i have always claim ■ i for my-df the right to vote for the man of my choice, and this ! hav * always accorded to others. But with me t! 1• ■ limit has been reached. ’ iii ■ trusters of the Anti-Saloon League have seen lit to give indorse ment to a certain candidate for gov ernor oi this state, whose record-on tiic liquor queMion is an open book. He admits that he voter! against prohibition in Atlanta, and that he contributed money to defeat the I " , ■ <’• '■)w. Ti, amount contributed is said to be SSOO. Af ter tie* bill was pass and, in spite* of h:s efforts, h<* was the paid attorney of th * liquor m< n of Atlanta, and filed a suit in the courts to annul the law. I’his is a matter of record. Later lie was one of the firm who rented a room for the sale of liquor in the city of Atlanta, known as the Piedmont bar. Later, still, lie said in the former campaign that he was a local optionist. This meant liquor in Atlanta; for so long as local option prevailed the liquor interests in Atlanta were sai<*. Hv *n in his inaugural ad dress lie still committed himself to local option. When the hill was under consideration it received in encouragement from him. On the contrary, it is openly charged that he tried to postpone action thereon. Even now, while making the fairest of promises, he has never said that he ;s a converted man; that he lias changed.his views from that of 1 local optionist to a prohibitionist. 1 m* Atlanta .Journal, his own organ, still dedans its allegiance to the <- ; u- *of r < -‘rioted sale of liquor.
