JOS. HI. BROWN TO
PEOPLE OF GEORGIA
THANKS THEM FOR GREAT MA
JORITY IN RECENT ELECTION.
Marietta, Oa., Oct. 14.—Governor-
Elect Joseph M. Brown today issued a
latter to the people ot Georgia thank-
fag them tor the masnlOcent majority
accordoj bis candidacy in the recent
election. He promises that within
the next eight months he will visit all
aectlons ot the state that It la possi
ble. Mr. Brown's letter In lull Is as
follows:
To the People ot Georgia: It is my
pleasure, as It Is my duty, to express
my proround thanks tor the exalted
honor which you, by your suffrages,
conferred upon me, the Democratic
nominee for governor, October T.
This honor Is established as being
well nigh supreme, when It 1s borne,
In mind that democrats, populists and
republicans Joined In the vote which
spoke the mandate of our state. Hence
to the cltlsent of all parties who vot
ed tor me In the white primary; to
those who supported my distinguished
opponent lu that primary, and who,
later ota/rd the Jlciutes of honor with
the behest of the prlmur -. an I to all
other voters woo cast their Initial bal
lots for me lu the election, I will say
that In the administration of the high
office to which you have called me, I
shall Jtnow no faction, no party. And
I shall look not with favor
nor with prejudice upon any
class. "Equal rights to all, special
privileges to none,^ special burdens
upon none,” shall be my Euldlng mot
to. /
Recognising that the will of the peo
ple, as embodied In the statue law, Is
our rule of action, I shall enforce that
will by the orderly methods It pre
scribes. Reco rolling that reason
welds together while denunciation
drives asunder, I shall pursue that
course Sfhlch my Judgment teaches
mo tends to securing a united clttsen-
ry. And let me urge you, my fellow
cltl sens, to Join me In the resolutions
to put behind us the asperities of the
past, to remember teat we are Geor
gians and that In Georgia's weal Is
our cornmoa Interest, our commhn Joy.
The necessity tor this course Is
manifest when we hold In mind how
great a number ot our fellow cttlaens
an out of employment, hence unable
ge secure for their families the plain
est things needed for sustenance and
comfort I admit that tho greatest
burden upon my heart Is the yearning
deslro to see these worthy ones, allied
to us by blood and affection, again re
ceiving good wages. This money, in
enabling them to provide all the
ceassrles and a reasonable portion of
the pleasures for their loved ones,
would ultimately reach the grocers,
the clothiers, the market gardeners,
the farmers, etc., and thus better the
condition of all classes In our state.
Of oouree, no one man can effect this
end; but by concord and co-operation
In the lines of Juatlce and moderation
we can assure capital and Improve
the status.
Let us then, I repeat, put behind us
the asperities of the past campaign,
let us remember that Georgia's welfare
la more to us than Is the gratification
of factions! grudges or personal am
bitions; that magnanimity it the nob
lest virtues at revenge It one of the
hasost of vices; that, as “ a house dl-
vldod against Itself shall fall,” so a
state divided Into two hostile camps
will fall to attain the social and econ
omic strenith upon which ondurlng
prosperity mutt he bated.
In conclusion allow me to repeat the
following declaration found In my let
ter to the people, published April 10:
Between the date of my choice In
the primary and the data of my Inau
guration U' will be my endeavor to
visit at many eountlps as possible In
every quarter of our state, for the
purpose of conferring with all classes
of our fellow dtlsens as to the best
methods to be adopted for the rehabili
tation of our Industries, the strength
ening of our terming Interests and all
others In which our homo people—our
own blood and bone— may again be
come partners In prosperity."
In accordance with this promise, I
expect, within the next eight months
to visit as many as I can ot our people
In the rural districts as well at In the
cities and towns, from the marshes
ot the Okstenokee to the peska of the
Blue Ridge, from the Savannah river
to the Chattahoochee. If by this
course I can do- naught else, I can at
least shake hands and exchange cor
dial greetings with the sterling men.
the golden-hearted women and the
brtsfdt-eyed hoys and girls of Georgia,
and r cfn co-ordinately* acquaint my
self with the varying characteristics
of the coastal plain, the rolling hill
country and the craggy mountains ot
nur state, and hence with the needs ot
the Inhabitants of each.
I feel sore that whan these stand
are over I shall be confirmed In my
oyal Georgian whereever one finds
him; that south Gorgla is as groat as
north Georgia, and that middle Georgia
Is as great as either of the other two.
And I trust that all Georgians will
judge me as feeling not a whit great
er mentally nor better morally bo-
cause I have been chosen as your
chief executive, in other words, that
I am only a plain man, but burdened
with a sense of responsibility that
would crush me hut for the fact that
I have faith In OoJ, t have faith In the
people.
I beg, therefore, that you will con
sider that the object of these visits Is
not ostentatious display, hut the free
Interchange cf thought which comes
from social acquaintanceship. This
Interchange I shall seek with farmers,
merchants, hankers, with officers and
employees ot factories and railroads,
with lawyers, doctors and clergymen—
with men In all occupations and ranks.
1 feel sure that the better we know
ecch other the more we will like each
other, that suspicion and distrust emi
grate from the spot where friendship
settles, that confidence ta the child ot
friendship, and that, led by the hands
or confidence we will move forward
together In the highway which leads
to greatest Georgia—Georgia which
gives the pledge; "Equal protection,
equal obligation, equal opportunities
tor all who place themselves under
the aegis of my lasrs.”
Ood grant thst beneath the arch ot
our constitution upheld by the marble
pillars, "Wisdom,” "Justice,'' "Modera
tion." we shall clasp hands arounj the
altar of common faith, a common
duty and a common devotion to our
Imperial state and to each other; for
every man who, with honest heart,
would build up Georgia Is a Georgian's
brother. Tour fellow citizen.

were called for trial.
Hundreds of women surrounded the
building. They crowded the corridor
and beat upon the court room doors.
An extra police guard drove hack
the women unceremoniously and but
for the mounted police tbs mob would
have rescued their colleagues from
the police wsgon.
When the cases were called, Mrs.
Pankhurst, Miss Psnkhurst snd Mrs.
Hammond, suffragist leaders, demand
ed a Jury trial and their trial was set
for October list. A dozen women
who participated in yesterday's dis
turbances were given sentences rang

upon refusing to furnish bond for their
future good behavior.
About a dozen more were given a
sentence of from thirty to ninety days
