It is Indeed amu-tng to *i*‘dyed In the wool Prohibitionist" to see the attempis of tbe Atlanta- Journal to ‘pull the wool over the eyes of the Prohls" at this date, when only few months ago they were edltorlally- Ing with might and main against State Prohibition, How they have this argument Into the mouth of the Hoke Smith contingent, not careful to stop long enough to think twice be fore speaking and publishing, attempt to befog the reason of those who are following a principle of prohibition, rather than a hatched up claltn and effort, to appear to be one, for votes only. i •, Which, Mr. Editor, .would yon rath er follow, a man who haa lived his prohibition, always voted his prohibi tion, and consistently worked for pro hibition for twenty years; or a man who Is an open local optlonlst. Truly has It been said that Mr. Hoke Smith It a "Law Made Prohibitionist," a pro hibitionist "Protempore.” I bare faithfully followed the argu ments both for and against Mr. Smith and 1 have deliberately con cluded that this prohibition argument la simply a ruse to prejudice the pro hibitionist In bis, Smith's favor.. Let ua compare, In paralel column, the tho men on prohibition: MR. BROWN—Living pnd working for Prohibition 20 years, refusing to sign a' lease on bla property In Atlan ta for the uses of a saloon, after bis renlal agent had made It. MR. BROWN.—Working I Dry Ticket in 1835 In Atlanta and Ful ton County and Cobb County. MR. BROWN—Giving to Mlsalops and Prohibition Causes his money and hla influence. MR. HOKE SMITH—Claiming to have voted for Local'Option In 1885 bqt taking tho caae of the Itqdor deal ers after the fight had ' been won against the open saloon, and trying for a Money Consideration to break the law, fighting It through all courts, oven through the Supreme Court, (ree Ga. Reports, with Hoke 8mlth’s nine as counsel). What klnu of a . Mbltlonlst la that man who votea for.lt one day and the next accept! a Money Fee to fight It? If It was a moral principle when he voted for It, was It less a great moral principle tbe next day when It had won out? Cun a true man sell put a Moral Principle for money? MR. HOKE SMITH—In 1817 ac knowledges contributing some Five Hundred Dollars tp. the Corruption Fund to brlpg liquor back Sato Fulton county and Atlanta. MR. HOKE SMITH—While Neal, Hardman and Covington were fighting lo the death for State Prohibition In the last session of the Legislature. Governor Hoke Smith sent a message to the Legislature Advocating Lohal Option, his newspaper wrote simul- taneousty, a rouble column Against State Prohibition. Only a few months age, beforp Mr. Brown was thought of'as being In tbe race for Governor, Sir. Hoke Smith, who then beard the United States Sen ate bee a buzzing in his ear, at a ban quet speech In Savannah Georgia, said He was In favor of light wines and beer, tbis at that time created con sternation In the Prohibition, senti ment of the State, but Mr. Smith then did not think any one would oppose him for tbe office of Governor If he wanted It, but he cveted the Senate, when he found out there had been a change of sentiment and that Steve Clay would beat him for the Senate, be falls back on the Governor's Re- election for two yearn more.precedent, ho was fishing with two rods at that time, bidding for the German vote at Savannah and at the same time hold ing on to the governorship precedent In case he bad to turn loose his seun ion,lip aspirations; be relinquished every claim on a precedent for re- nomlnatlon when he flirted with the Senatorshlp question. He has tried to cry thief pointing bis Anger at Lit tle Joe, and running after him when tbe booty was Ir. bU owq pocket; and ha himself was the man who Injected prohibition Into this campaign and fot' the purpose of misleading the people; Joe Brown's record Is clear and clean, how about the man who Is crying "stop thief." I read the article from the Manufacturers Record, while It Is in tended to cover the whole of tho Southern States, It Is a vivid picture of Georgia's present condition as sue Is paying her Quota for following the False Prophets; It every farmer will read It and realize the truth, Its Non Partlslan Spirit, but Its clear declara tion of the truth as It now exists, he will never vote again for Hoka Smith, .'or la this not a true condition now? end Is be not the “Divinely Called Prophet," who led u> Into the wild erness.
