When Hoko Smtta had under consid

tor, ho virtually waved all ’’precedent"
for aeefind term ns governor. It Is
.not- a question of "precedent" but a
question of "revolt" against an admin
istration that the people are not sat
isfied with.
8peaking of Hoke Smith’s recent
speech In Amerlcua the Americus Re
corder says: The governor of course
put in his usual dttilal that he had
anything to do with the panic. Nu.
one ever-accused him of causing the
panic. He knows tha> ^ thorough?? - .
But he was a partner In bringing It
on. His attacks on capital generally
united, with tae attacks at Washing
ton and In other states had as much
to do with panic as anything else.
Gov. Smith cannot avoid hia due share
of responsibility. He tries to dodge
It, but throughout the state there are
thousands of men who will voce
sgaiait him on thla ground alone.

Mr. Hoke Smith suld to Joseph M.

when Governor Terrell did appoint
him Mr. Smith said tuai it was the
best appointment that Terrell had ev
made, ami he congratulated him for
making the appointment. Now in the
face of these facts does any man
believe (hat if Joe Brown had support

crusade then being waged against rail- Georgia and nfiT
road corporations and capital In gen
eral and was elected Governor.
At that time tae entire country was
at the helghth of its greatest prosper
ity. President Roosevelt was Invok
ing the passage of the most stringent
federal legislation against railroads
and other corporations and the impo
sition of the most extreme penalties
upon them by the courts. At the same
time Governor LaFollette, of Wis
consin. Governor Folk, of Missouri,
and later Governor Glen#, of North
Curolina. Governor Comer of Alabama
and other Northern and Southern Gov
ernors, were favoring and having en
acted most drastic State legislation,
aimed especially at railroad corpora
tions.
With all of these Hoke Smith acted
in concert.
Capitalists, not ony In this country
• but In Europe, became alarmed at their
I investments in railroad securities and
, began to unload taem on the market
I and soon the crash came.
I New York ns a great money center,
naturally gave signs and bore eviden*
, ce more perhaps than elsewhere ol
the impending panic but from that
great center It radiated until the whole
country was more or less effected. Tae
causes aforesaid which contributed
to the panic so affrighted c&plial that
railroad corporations as well as others
became utterly unable to procure
money upon their securities, hence
they have been depressed and com
pelled to siuWr ns the whole country
has and the industrial improvements
generally ha - teen forced t ruspend.
Tlfe re-election of Hoke Smith for
another term of two years would be a
continuing and a standing menace
against the further Investment of cap
ital In Georgia, whereas the election
of Joseph M. Brown would have the
tendency to restore confidence and In
vite the further and continued Invest
ment of capital in this State in rail
roads and other Industrial enterprises.
When Brown became a candidate at
the call of the people, this was-th*
great and only issue to be made. As j
,• tho law of
proposing to
repeal cr modify it and so also has
the disfranchisement amendment been
passed by the legislature and only re
mains to be ratified by tho people at
the October election, and therefore
neither of said questions have any
place In the pending gubernatorial
campaign.
It has been shown that Joseph M.
Brown Is a consistent life long pro
hibitionist and in his first announce
ment for Governor stated that lie was
in favor of calntaining our Stnto pro
hibition law*, and while stating that
he would approve amendments thereto
passed by the legislature In accord
ance with the will of the people, he
evidently meant amendments to
strengthen and perfect the law’ be
cause when the matter was presented
to him In definite form he signed the
pledge Hot only to maintain the pres
ent prohibition law but to veto any
amendment thereto, clearly meaning
again any amenefcnent tending to weak
on the law.
Joe Brown has also stated that he
not only favors but intends to vote for
the disfranchisement amendment.
The lawyers who filed the suit
against the executors of the estate
of Joseph E. Brown, say that they and
their clients had full confidence In
Joseph M. Brown and that said suit
was directed solely at the mismanage-
men on the part of Julius L. Brow
It has been shown that Joseph M.
Brow’n filled the positions he held
with the Western and Atlantic R. R.
Co., with such ability and Integrity
that he was promoted and after long
years of faithful service voluntarily
retired; ami that when he was appoint
ed by Governor Terrell on the* Rail
road Commission and during all his
service as a Commissioner, he was
recognfzed as the ablest and best in
formed man who ever held a position
upon that board; and while Joseph
M. Brown is iu favor of giving rail
road corporations a square deal he
also favors their proper regulations
In the Interest of the people.
