Our Overworked Con¬
gressmen.
The following article appear-
ed in the editorial column of
The Atlanta Journal August 24,
1906. It will be remembered
by the voters of the eight dis¬
trict that W. M. Howard was one
of the “Overworked Congress-
men,” he opposed disfranchise¬
ment then and now claims it for
the strongest plank on his plat¬
form;
There are four or five congress
men m Georgia who are dreadtnll
overworked. They need a rest—
need it badly ? 1 These gentlemen
not only need a rest and change of
atmosphere, but need a change of
scenery. Some oi the Georgia del
gallon have been under such a ter
ribie strain that thev really could
not find time to consider the ques
tion as to who should be next gov
ernorof Georgia ’until after their
own nomination foi another term
had been secured. They weie
not able eyen to decade for them
selves, much less take a position on
tinsimpotant question, until after
they been renominated. After
their positions had been secured
however they managed to find
time in some way to deal with the
questions, and unfortunately frr
these able gentlemen they prompt
ly took sides against the people
and in favor of the political ring,
to whom they a| pear to owe their
first allegiance. Doubtless these
gentlemen would have been able
to reach a decision in the guberna
torial race sooner, if their nomina
tion had been earlier.
Some of the Georgia de'ega
tion, however, have not been so
badly overworked as otheis.
Some of these gentlemen were
able to decide the question as to
their attitude long before their
own nomination bad been secured.
Thev not only decided it hut
promptly took position before the
people of the state while there
was ampm time to put out opposi
tion candidates. They found no
difficulty in deciding to cast their
fortunes on the side of right and
justice, and what they believed to
be the true enterests of the people
of the state. These members of
the Georgia delegation are
tied to the highest condemation.
As to those gentlemen who
dared tiicit ttic niilrocids M ere be
yorid criticism and that Howell,
Estill, Jtnssell or dim Smith should
be voted for, interchangeably, as
the exigencies of the situation re
guire.
' We doubt that they
have no
are now of the opinion that thev
made not merely blunder but a
serit-s of the gravest blunders, un
necssarv, unjust,tied and witbot
anv excuse whatever. They plung
ed into the campaign after thev
h id been rehominafced, and gavo
their unqualified support to tba
ling. Thev made learned consti
tutional arguments against the
right of the state to disfranchise
the negro. They constituted them
selves the guardians of the nation
al constltionand epecially the fifth
teenth amendment; and in fact
told the people of Georgia that
the negro must be kept m politics
upon a plane of equality with the
white man.
The peols of I he respective dis¬
tricts represented by these gentle
men are helpless this year. They
have voted them two more vears
in congress and there is the strong
est probability that thev will be
permitted to take a well earned
rest. The people will probably
realize that they have been work
ing too hard and that the strain
upon their mental resources and
physical constitution lias been too
great. They will, in all probabil
ity, decide that at the lives
these gentlemen are too
to risk in the atmosphere ot Wash
ing. They are needed at home.
They, have of late—of very late—
taken such an abscubing interest
in home affairs and have proved
themselves such able instructors
of the people as to their own inter
ests, either on the stump or by the
more insidious method of private
talk, that we feel that it is a great
injustive to our people to depnye
them of such home talent even for
a congressional term. In fact there
are several of these congressmen
at least who should and doubtless
will be relieved of the cares of of
lice altogether, in older that the/
may devote all their brilliant tal
ents and boundless energy to look
int> after tne interests ol the jieo
pie at home, directing their opin
ions, and assisting them to make
up their minds about what thev
want . fhey will doubtless be
given a roving commission to in
struct the art of self government
to wiirn them u^Minst the evils
oi white supremacy.
For the sake of thesa overkork
ed congressmen we believe thev
should be allowed to remain a
home.
