The effort of both Colonel Pope

this they have used every available
means to Inject only one laaue which,

It la not Colbnel' Pope Brown
against Judge Russdtl; but It Is Judge
Russell against "Little Joe” and Colo

This Is slgnldcant For no less than
slaty days ago these two candidates,
through their campaign managers, de
clared that there was not room enough'
left for ‘Little Joe’ In the pending cam

Brown voiced the-expressed sentiment
of both Judge Russell and Colonel
Pope Brown.
Judge Russell said at Lyons: T
have purposely refrained from Inject
ing the prohibition question Into this
campaign. I .regret tbit It Is Injected.
True, practical temperance
can only be achieved by consent of
the people upon wgom a law Is to
operate.’ This was Judge Russell’s
advanced view. Following this state
ment he abandoned local option and
seised the paclcoge house theory as a
substitute for the present prohibition
law. He Is now malting his Canvas on
the Idea that If elected he will veto
any bill providing for local option un
less It establishes package-houses and
provides'fog Inspectors to pass upon
the quality of the malt liquors to be
sold.

Controvcry between Dr. John E
White, pastor of the Second Baptist
Church of Atlanta and Volney Wil
liams, campaign manager for Pope
Brown.
The following clipplnga from The
Atlanta Constitution are given to the
public and every fair-minded man
after reading them should rebuke the
methods resorted to, ly voting for
Governor Joseph M. Brown:
Mr. Williams'Card.
Following Is a card In which Mr.
Williams set out hlF charges con
cerning Dr. White In full:
“Several days ago The Atlanta Con
stitution came out In a double column
editorial headed “A Campaign Fake
Nailed", and this editorial took the
position that the statement made by
Dr. John E. White to the effect that
Governor Brown could not run upon
a prohibition platform because his
election before was due largely to the
whiskey Interests and corporations,
was a campaign fake, because It had
been denied by Dr. White. Authority
was given for'the statement, and It
now stands Its an absolute truth.
“It Is very strange that Dr. White
would attempt to deny the correctness
of this statement owing to tfte fact
that words of like effect had been
spoken by him on other occasions.
For example, before Governor
Brown announced as a candidate. Dr.
White went- to the drug store of Mr.
Amos Brazelton, who was Governor
Brown's Fulton county campaign man
ager In'both of hls past races, and
asked Mr. Brazelton to go with him
to see'Mr. Fred Paxon, and ask Mr.
Pqxon to join them In an Appeal to
Governor Brown urging him not to
enter the race. Dr. White gave as
hls reason for not wanting Governor
Brown to run that he wanted to sup
port prohibition, and th.it be could not
do so If Governor Brown entered the
race.
Conversation With MoKensey.
On another occasion, Dr. White
was riding on a street oar with Mr.
M. McKensoy, president of the
Atlanta Oil ft Fetriltzer Company, and
ip af conversation relative to the gub
ernatorial race, the following remarks
were:
“Mr. McKensey said, ‘I am very
sorry that Governor Brown Has an
nounced for governor, I regret It es
pecially for the reason that In hls
THREE POLITICAL
RALLIES HELD
CANDIDATES - ACTIVE
Parker Meeting at Theatre
Cox And Reed Meetings
In Gilchrist Park
Tbero woro three political rallies
In Waycroas last night.
The friends of Harry D‘. Reed hold
a meeting In Gilchrist Park. Speeches
wero made by Col. Reed, J. W. Wlllot,
W. F. Larrlsy, P. T. Stevensdh and P.
P Frleborg.
Tho Cox rally, was also'held In GU
Christ Park near Inman's store. At
this meeting speeches were mado by
Mayor Cox, C. E.' Dunn, W. M.
Dcmr-uter and J. F. Inman.
The rally for Calvin W. Parker was
held at the Opera House, at which
speeches were mado by C. G. Lewis,
Herbert W. Wilson' and Calvin W.
Parker.
All throe of the rallies were woll at
tended, nnd much enthusiasm was
shown.
announcement, he attacks' Governor
Smith, and attempts to bring.up the
old light which caused so much bit
terness.’ '
"In reply to this. Dr. White said,
'Brother McKensey, it Is the only
thing that Governor Brown has to run
on,-and'It Is necessary that he make
the race for thk purpose of holding
our organization together. If we Sad
not' made the light, our organization
would “have -gone to pieces. He has
entered tbi nico so Into that there Is
no chance for him to be elected, and It
will cost him conaldJrable money.
This Is a great 1 sacrlflce for Governor
Drown because he has never made
any money himself, but has. simply
spent what hls father left him.’
Dr.
Whlte’a are very significant, for three
reasons. In the first place, they prove
that Governor Brown is In no way a
prohibition candidate: Second, they
also show that Governor Brown Is a
poor business man, nnd nilt qualified
to be governor. In the third place
they ahow that Dr. Jr. 3. E. White la
somewhat of a. polli. ilan , notwith
standing hls last carl tc the contrary.”
DR. WHITE'S CARD.
Furnishing letters repudiating In
terviews given out by Volney Williams
campaign manager for Pope Brown,
Dr. John E. White, pastor Of th: Sec-
Ind Baptist Church, Is out with a
statement teeming with Interest.
The statement folllws:
The statement signed and publish-j
ed on Saturday by the officers of the!
Anti-Saloon League, Drs. S. R. Belk,
Charles W. Daniel and M. J. Cofer, rd-
quires "in answer at my bands. It will
be a dignified answer, bocause In desl-
Ing with these brethren I pdas out of
the atmosphere of political managers
Into the arena of .Christian fraternity.'
It will be a kind answer, because that
will turn away wrath, and I, am asso-'
elated with these brethen In matters
of vastly more Importance, to me and
theqa 'than the politics of the Anti-
Sallon League. It will be a convinc
ing onswer, because the facts of the
oase reduced to.their essence of truth
are capable of being made clear.
These brethren signed a statement)
which, unless relieved by them or bv
me, carries to the public the moral
effect of personal testimony awalnst
me concerning what I have publicly
denied having said In Mr. Woods
White’s office on September 8. This
Statement signed by them would Indi
cate, unless corrected, to the public
that they personally heard me use the
words which I have publicly denied
having used with reference to' Gover
nor Brown’s former and Brat race for
governor In 1208. It appears to re
cite, over their personal signatures,
occurrences In Mr. Woods White's
office, as foots of their porsonal obser
vation and hearing.
> Dr. Betide Statement.
I beg attention, therefore, to tho
following statement which Dr. S. R-
Belk authorizes me to publish:
