Marrietta, Ga., Sept. 9, 1908.
Editor Atlanta Journal:
Dear Sir—Returning from a visit of
a fortnight to North Georgia to which
1 went for rest, I have been shown sev-
! oral copies of your paper of recent
dates. I regret to note from them
that In its attempt to discredit U.e
Democratic caiuTldate for governor ct
Georgia The Atlanta Journal is in se
rious danger of discrediting its i
1ovality to the Democratic party.
In my letter of anouncement of
candidacy, published March ISth,
used tills expression: "I have <
fldence in the people.” I have never}
wavered in that confidence. I have*
confidence in their Intelligence, their
Integrity, their love of fair play, their
patriotism, and, in a partisan sense,
have confidence in the democracy ot
a decided majority of them. I may
add that if God spares me to have It,
my administration n« Georgia's execu
tive will be based upon those words:
I have confidence in the people.”
You ilo not seem to share with me
That confidence In them. On the con
trary, you seem to think they con
stantly need a wet-nurse and much
spanking and a strong hand to lead
not seem to share
their jnnnifesi. confidence in me, .for
of the entire citizenry of Georgia yen
practically the only one who has
seemed to doubt that the democratic
nominee for Governor of Georgia fa-
tho election of the Democratic
nominee for President of the Unite!
States. You are practically the only j
one who has chosen to propagate tli |
tenets of distrust.
On the very day that I accepted
the Democratic nomination for Gov-jtw
ernor of Georgia you sent a reporter
to ask me if I was going to vote for
Bryan. The question appeared so In
herently void of courtesy and common-
sense that I did not deem it worthy
of a direct answer. As well might
you have asked If I, a member of the
Baptist church, believed in immer
sion.
Now, as a matter of fact, you know
that no citizen of Georgia, not even
yourself, is going to "vote for Bryan.*'
Too citizens of Georgia, in November,
are going to vote for candidates for
electors. Hence It Is for each candi
date for elector, not for ine, to answer
tho question, “Are you going to vote
for Bryan?”
Again, you know full well, that tho
tate Democratic convention, on
June 23rd, nominated me for Govern
or. and that same hour and that same
convention, nominated thirteen candi
dates for electors. Yet you appear to
a heavy Llow outside. Tne sailors
welcomed the sea voyage after the
Melbourne festivities, which taxed the
endurance of the officers and men.
Despite the unprecedented lavish-
ness of the entertniiinit-nt, tho per-
sopel of the fleet demonstrated its true
American adnptibllity by resuming
Its routine without a hitch. The us-
•al official calls will be made here.
Albany is a small ixirt of only ,10ft
Inhabitants, but there will be ten thou-
«md visitors here tomorrow.

In conclusion, In your editorial, Sep

This assertion is another of the Jour

dure, as liberty’s abi ling place,

sham rock (not Ireland’s, but the At

the people’s disapproval rolled. ! had

It is a serious matter to see so man*
