pi* sent, drawn apparent ly hy cu-|

ernor Smith's supporters in the
.lone primary applauded the speak- j
er liberally.
A consideraße portion of Car- 1
tei - speech was devoted to an ar
raignment of Tom Watson and
the deal which he alleged had
1" n made Between Joseph M.
Brown's followers and Watson to.
d' liver the elect oral vote of Geor- i
giu to Watson. He attempted to!
justify a bolt from tho Juno pri- i

w tk effort, charging that Mr.
Brown'* election was not fairly
secured.

TDK MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, Ot T. 8. Bhw.
REPUBLICANS FINANCE WATSON.
Under the above head line tlm
Macon Telegraph a few days ago
said :
“Former Senator S. R.Pettigrew
publicly announced in South Da
kota that in Hsi-1 lie hud been of
fered SIO,OOO for ten speeches- in
behalf of Thomas E. Watson, the
Populist candidate*, by a Republi
can Senator friend acting for ami
in Behalf of the Republican Na
tional Committee. Senator Pet
tigrew also said that while declin
ing the offer he “conducted an in
j vestigat ion with the result that
tie* Republican party financed m
a large manner Mr. Watson's cum
paign.”
In reply to this, after some pn*-
! liminary digs at Pettigrew und
Bryan, Mr. Watson says:
“Whether Roosevelt managers
gave financial aid to those who
| managed the Populist campaign,
I neither know nor care. Every
body who knows u thing about it
is well aware of the fact that the
campaign funds of both lie* "id
parties come from practically the
j same source."
Conceding the last sentence of
the above to be true, for argu
ment’s sake, the Democratic par
ty at, least had its own financial
organization in 1904, and used its
| own money wilh a sincere view to
i defeat mg the opposition party or
parties. It is net. amenable to
the charge of conducting a cam
paign w ith the secret financial as
sistance of an alleged opposition
party and presumably with a view
to assisting that opposition party
to defeat another opposition par
ty. Mr. Watson did not expect
to ho elected President 111 1904
any more than he expects to b<*
elected President in 1908. The
only possible appreciable result
I his race could have on tho elect ion
i would be to weaken the Demo
cratic party in the interest of the
Republican party. Mr. Watson
; does not directly deny Senutor
! Pettigrew’s direct statement of
fact.' “Whether thi* - Roosevelt
managers gave financial aid to
those who managed the Populist
campaign, I neither know nor
care,” he says. Tins is not a de
nial, such as his friends would
doubtless wish to see.
The disclosure will have a dam
aging effect on Mr. Watson’s po
litical ambitions unless lie can
make before his friends a better
j show mg t han t h is.''
If seems from the above that
Editor Pendleton is keeping an
eagle eye on the Populist leader
now-a-days. In our opinion there
are more than one party being
run in the interest of Mr. Taft’s
j elect ion.

NEAR-BEER DEALERS
WILL TEST THE LAW.
The* authorities of Richmond
county who arc taxed with the re*
sponsibilitv of collecting «j>eciftl
taxes from near-heer dealers, haye
been authorized by Comptroller-1
lienernl W. A, Wright and Attor
iny-General John 0. Hart to de
posit the amount of the tax with ,
the ordinary subject to withdraw
al in case one test case which is to
l>« brought ia won.
E. Dunbar lias been employ
ed to represent dealers in the test
to be made of the law. He is
counsel f>r about fifty,all of whom
i have deposited the amount of the]
license. A case will bo brought'
jin the name of one of them in
tlie superior court of Richmond
i county,on injunction proceedings, j
The authors of the license bill i
thought the state treasury would
1 lx swollen by the addition of be- 1
tw- en s3*lQ.tH')o and S4OO,(XX), but,
up to date the pitiful sum of S2OO
lias been paid the state for near-j
! beer license. j
One of two things is very plain ;
—there are very few near-heer sa- i
I loons, or a great number of blind !
1 tigers. “Those who dance should J
pay the fiddler,” and all those j
selling tli.: “slop” ought to have
Ito pay for the privilege. Make no
distinction, but treat all alike.
