Gol. Guerry’s Speeches
RECEIVED WITH ENTHUSIASM—CLUB
ORGANIZATION INAUGURATED.
Reported for the Herald by W, 8. Branham
From Saturday’s Daily.
Hon. Dupont Gnerry spoke to a rep
resentative audience of citizens at the
court house last night. After being
introduced in a graceful speech by Mr.
J. W. Greer, the speaker entertained
his audience for more than an hour.
Mr. Guerry’s speech was, for such
speeches, unusually fair and con
vincing.
He took the position that there is a
ring :n the Democratic party in this
state and composed of the politicians,
whiskey men and lobbyists, princi*
pally those of the railroads, and that
Mr. Terrell is the candidate of of that
ring. He showed very conclusively
that the Railroads of this state are not
paying their just part of the taxes.
His reasoning in favor of state pro*
hibition, of course, were the most ap
proved and absolutely convincing from
his point of view. He said whilo Mr.
Terrell had said that he would not
veto a bill providing such a measure,
that if Mr. Terrell was elected there
would never be such a bill nnssed by
the legislature, and even if it Were
passed it would never be enforced, ns
Mr. Terrell’s political debts would
handicap the law* and give it a bluc.t
eye for fifty years to come.
Mr. Guerry’s description of the dis
graceful scenes enacted during the
passage of (the railroad depot bill, as
supported by evidence which he ad
duced of the unfair conduct of
Speaker Little, was such as to cause
the patriot to grow pale and to put
common honesty to blush, If true.
There are some of us possibly who will
take issue with Mr. Guerry as to the
wisdom and fairness of the depot bill,
but the writer thinks that there is
more than a good deal in what he
says.
Unless his ’’facts” are successfully
disproved, his deductions, therefore,
must follow and all honest patriots
will have to vote for him and his
measures, but of course the other side
is yet to be heard from.
Mr. Guerry’s personality is very at
tractive, his logic is unanswerable,
•and as his character is above reproach
he makes a formidable opponent
wherever you find him.
Altogether, his presentation of the
subject was direct, logical and con
vincing. After the conclusion of t.ho
speech a movement was inaugurated
to organize a Guerry club and several
names were subscribed.
aired lor several years anti how it had
been practically decided by ail who
had studied the matter, except those
who held peculiar views like Mr. Hall
and Mr. Guerry, that the building of
the depot was absolutely necessary
for the preservation of the state’s prop,
erty. Mr. Toomer said that the bil
provided that the state was to get
TOOMKR AND GUERRY SPEAK.
Mr. Guerry and Mr. W. M. Toomer,
representative of Ware county, apoke
to a large and representative audience
at the court house this morning. It
wa* understood that by the courtesy
of Mr- Guerry, Mr. Toomer wished to
reply to Mr. Guerry’s remarks upon
the railroad depot bill made last
night. Mr. Toomer said that he was
in perfect accord with the platform of
Mr. Guerry in every particular, ex
cept hia position in the matter of the
railroad depot. That he, with Mr. L
Johnson, had voted for the bill, not
only because ll was a good business
move, but that under the circum
stances of the case it waa a matter of
necessity. He related bow tbs busi
ness men and representatives bad
looked into tbs matter, and bow tbs
whole thing bad been thoroughly
0 per cent interest on the (too,000 in
vested in the depot in addition to the
rental it already gets from the leasees
of the property, and it veetns that Mr.
Guerry differs with him on this state
ment, as to what the state was to get
as rental. The matter was left here,
and both, Mr. L. Johnson and Mr.
Toomer, say that Mr. Toomer’s state
ment is correct,
Mr. Guerry replied to Mr. Toomer
on all his points and took the position
that not only was this expenditure
not necessary, but absolutely foolish.
The two speakers seem to be on the
best of terms and the argument was
characterized by the kindliest of tone.
Mr. Guerry spoke at length, alter re
plying to Mr.Toomer’s arguments, and
held the undivided attention of his
hearers. Full of logical and serious
thought, his Ideas will bear good
fruit both in friend and foe.
