“H Ir. Howard is a Ian of His Word Hell Quit the Ban for Congress”-Hon. samuel
J. Tribble Hominee of the Eighth Distort Put Strong and forceful Pacts to him.
Athens, Ga., Oct. 15,
Hon. W. RT.Howard, Lexinton,Ga.
Dear sir:—Your letter
ing exclusive white vote
sition received. My proposition
was clear cut to exclude the ne-
gro vote, and you understood it.
You claim to have accepted my
proposition, Mr. Howard, I made
no proposition to disfranchise
white votes. I see a wide differ-
enoe between disfranchising
white voters and negroes. lean
not understand proposition: why you say that
you accept my Not-
withstanding I defeated counties you 668
votes and carried 7 with
4 more votes than you in the
convention, and am the legal
1 the still—if
nominee of party,
ran 3 ou would —in order to ge L
rid of the negro vote I off red
three weeks ago to enter another
white primary. It took you two
weeks to reject my proposition
and then your newspapers print
in flaming headlines, “Howard
accepts Tribble’s Challenge.”
White primary is the rule under
which you alid I sought votes
on August 23rd; it is the rule
under whien every elected offi-
cer in the state holds commis-
10n . ft bas b een tbe ru l e f 0 r de-
moeracy for „ ten years, and has
th e test through many
stormy periods; and Mr. Howard
^ has been good to you.
rule you have had no oppo-
sition, but when you meet defeat
it has served its day and fit only
to be cast aside, if you are to be
the judge. Did you know that
you are the only man in ail these
ve ars to kick out m defeat? Are
y 0U so much better than other
e0 p] e ? The white primary of
1
the party is good enough for
everybody but you. It is good
enough for me. It does seem to
me that the rule of democracy
should be good enough for you,
for under it’s banner you have
sailed and drawn more money
out of office, state and national
combined, thar any man in the
history of the state, and yet you,
desperate in defeat, propose to
leave the party fold and set up
a new party with your rules,
and invite me to join you. You
are not satisfied with your party
ru ] e under which you pitched
/our tents on August 23, fought
an d me t deteat and now propose
another one of your bolts, but
your dissatisfaction will never
lead me out o^ my party rules,
I went into the August primary
rules and there I shall abide.

as mine, hut the qualification
weapon to be used with partisan
application is afine idea for some*.
your political associates. Please
don’t say that I am charging
politic al corruption on the mnna
gers. You are the man who
made this charge and swore to
illegal voting—election frauds
—in the Eighth congressional
district of Georgia. You made
the charge and had your parti-
sari executive committee thrjvn
out . legal . , votes in . blbert . countj ,
to prop up your mdependent
candidacy and try to axe from
the office to wnich I have
been elected, and now in order
that you may accomplish my
downfall by the same kind of
me thods adopted by that execu
tive committee, a qualification
rule is proposed. Who will pass
on the qualification; anybody
knows that the managers will
apply the rule finally at the
polls. If your politcal partisans
could succeed in securing my
consent to this qualification and
could ,, succeed .... at
in placing cer-
, large precincts . t partisan ..
tam
managers with this weapon in
hand, another partisan decision
like that executive committee
decision might be handed down
to me and the result might be
disastrous. The committee too
out of the box Tribble legal votes
and left in the box Howard ille-
gal votes as is known of all men.
If managers could bo seccured at
certain polling precincts atore-
said, determined to do, hov easy
to challenge Tribble voters where
there is a qualifications to be in

your Democratic assonciates tnese
democratic colleages met again
in caucus and not only censured
vou but condemned vour deser¬
tion and discussed the property of
on longer receiving you in tbo
party counsel.
(b) The leader of one branch
of the republicay party, Speaker
Cannon, stated that the new legis
legislation could not have been in
its present form without tbo aid
of you a d your deserting asso..
ciates.
(c) The leader of the other
branch of the republican part'/,
LaFollette, said m his last maga¬
zine: “On March the loth, 1900.
the Cannon machine was saved
from defeat only bv the help of
its democratic ailiess in the House.
Those Democrats were lead by
Fitzgerald a Tammany represen¬
tative. Among them were Liv¬
ingston and Howard of Georgia,
Last week these two Georgia rep¬
resentatives were repudiated by
their constituents.”
Mr. Howard, with propositions
adieu. If you continue in tho
race we meet again on November
*th and on that day the second
battle wilt be fought. I will carry
the bannerol' democracy, inscrib¬
ed thereon 'will be “white votes
sought.” You will carry ihe hat>
tie of Iudeiiendentism, inscribed
thereon will be “white and negro
votes sought.” It remains to be
seen which banner will trail in the
dust. Very trill},
