disavowal on-the part of Messrs Dan
iel and Cofer, which wifi be mado
later, and which will explain itself.
These statements at least cover any
Imaginable questions of veracity as
between myself and there gentlemen,
but there are other gentlemen who
have been involved by their statement
Saturday. One of the items In the
publication of Saturday is ns 1 follows:
* "The following men were present
and heard Br. White’s speech, and C9"U
testify to any who may desire-further
Information as to any questions of
veracity Dr. White has raised.’'
T his list includes the names of Dr.
L. G. Kcrdaman qnd Dr. J. J. Ilennett.
Neither of these gentlemen were pres
ent when I made my epeech In Mr.
Woods White's office. The following
from Dr. J. J. Bennett is to this and
other points:
This is to certify that neither my
self nor Dr. L. G. Hardainan were
present in Mr. Woods White's' office
while you were there, but were to
gether in my office in another part of
tho building. We, therefore, cannot
be appealed to for testimony as indi
cated in the publication of the Anti
Saloon League. I wish to say, howev
er/ that In a conference of prohibi
tionists some days preceding' this l
heard your statement -analyzing the
situation of prohibition at that time
In Georgia, along the same line evi
dently of your speech In Mr. Woods
White’s office. Your statement was
cleat* to ine, and, I think, to everyone
else, as follows—’that Gov./ Brown
would not, in your opinlhn, If he en
tered the race for governor, run on
any antl-prohlbltlon platform, and
could hot consistently do ^o; nor
would he* In your opinion, if he en
tered the race, do to on a prohibition
platform, but would maintain the po
sition he has always occupied with
reference to prohibition, because his
political prestige in Georgia waa with
all classes of people, without refer
ence to the prohibition question.’ I
desire personally, io say that the giv
ing out for partisan political purposes
of Information concerning what is in
dividually discussed between gantl*
men In a private and .confidential
jneeting of prohibitionists,* such aa
that meeting in. Mr. Woods White’s
office was to ua all, la utterly beyond
excusing or defending.
TSIgned) -J. J. BENNETT.” I
I'think this sufficiently cloaca the
matter as to tho testimony ot thon
present. I bar, not been able to .ret
In touch with the two other gentle
men referred to, one of them being
out of the city.
Caused All Tho Trouble.
I h'avo not consulted Dr-. G. W.
Touhg and Mr. J. B. Richards. They
are tha gentlemen who bare made ail
this trouble. One ot them mada tho
notes, and the other helped him in
getting them Into the political mans
ger'a hands. Mr. Volney Williams
did the reat, but Messrs Young and
Richards cannot escape thq odium ot
having violated the confidence end tbe
honor of a private conference betwepn
^gentlemen and prohlbltloltlats. Cer
tainly It would.be difficult to get men
togethor to dlscuee common caucus
and methods and men, about which
thpre waa honest and earnost and
frank differences of orinlou, If thoro
waa tho danger of someone giving on’,
privately to aerve aa an Individual or
a partisan end what gentlemen from
whom they disagreed should say In
such a conference. They must re
sent tho characterisation I apply to
their conduct In this matter, but It
will not be necessary for me to reply
nny further.
My attention hae been called to an
other statement sent out by Mr. Vol-
noy williams on yesterday, In which
he alltges statements qt mine In pri
vate conversation with two gentlemen.
The thing he ; published yesterday
about myself and Mr. Amo* Braaelton,
la a-stark falsehood, a cross fabrica
tion, a llo told by somebody, as the
following ehowe:
■Tble I* to certify that I did not
tell Mr. Volnejr Williams, nor anyone
else, that Dr. John E. White had are:
come to my drug (tore and asked ma
to go with him to see Mr. Fred Paxon
and, ask Mr. Faxon to ]olb ua In an
appeal to Governor Brown, crgfng him
to enter (hf race for governor Ip
order that/e (Dr. White) might hevr
a prohibitionist to support for govern
or, nnd Dr. White never came to jno
with any such request nud statement
Every werd I over heerd Dr. White
eey about prohibition nnd Governor
Drown was a ccnflrmatlon of hla own
and Governor Brown’s stahnch prohi
bition. convictions.
(Slsnod) “AMOS DRASELTOK'
As to Mr. Williams statement using
the ncrae cf Mr. William Mckent.it 1 , I
almost scorn to touch It, It '.las'no
bearing on tiny lontnre respecting
Governor Brown's prohibition charac
ter and record. It Is Mr. ‘MeKen?lo,
rather .than myself, who is wrongoJ
nnd Injured with tho public in that
publication.
Is there anything else.to cay? Yes.
One thing:
I desire to say It,to my friends in
Atlanta and In Georgia and to tho
thousands who know me only ns n
Baptist minister and ns n servant ot
good causes, whoso confidence I have
enjoyed, tho dragging of my name
Into this disagreeable controversy and
the pursuit of me by Mr. Volney Wil
liams, woo Is In the business of po
litical wrangling, has been outrage tus.
As a prohibitionist, while there was
yet opportunity to do, I proper!) ac
cepted an Invitation with a number of
others In an effort during tbe last, ot
August to unite all prohlbitlorilsta for
campaign that would sweep Judge
.Russell off the political map, and
that would organize and prepare for
us the real prohibition battle that Is
bound to come in Georgia.
Others Who Accepted.
Dr. L. G. Broughton, Dr. Cofer, Dr.
J. J. Bennett and othbrs accepted a
similar Invitation and went Into the
conference with that end In view. W‘
failed In the effort, and wo failed bp-
cause Mr.. Pope Brown stlfdy said
that he was Ip the race for governor;
that be had relinquished his political
aspirations to be zovernor once or
twice before, and that, whatever hap
pened or did not happen, he would
not withdraw. The consequence waa
that two candidates came then Into
the held, both of whom claimed to be,
prohibitionists, and yet both repre
sented the opposite wlnga ot the old
frictional light In Georgia. It waa
folly to submit prohibition In face ot
such conditions as this situation pre
sented. Obeying my 1 conscience and
common aenae, I refuted to give my
consent or to lend my encouragement
with respect to prtjiilbltlon that I
knew would result, Just exactly aa it
haa resulted, In an Inevitable and
hgpmlul disorganisation of prohibi
tion. U was aa tha editor ot The
Georgian recently said, "a foolish and
useless thing .to Inject the prohibition
Issue Into the sbort tirm governor
ship campaign," then I, for one, would
pot.stand for that useless and foollah
Jeopardising ot prohibition. I resolv
ed to say absolutely nothing..
I wrote to Dr. L. O. Hardeman and
expressed to him my lament over the
situation, for I know that be, also,
lamented It; but I wad determined to
have no part, one way of the other,
publicly, f wroto a personal latter to
Judge W. R. Hammond, when I saw-
bo was attacked by some prohibition-'
1st, for tho expression ot pis opinion.
I told him that my judgment ot the
situation coincided with hie. later,
being urged to do-eo, I permitted tho
publication of this personal letter, to
Judge Hammond. There was nothing
In that letter to Justify Mr. Voinoy
Williams or anyone else In an at
tempt to discredit me. But, at once,
It wns clear that, In order to break
tho Influence of tbe fact that men llko
myself, Judge T. A, Parker, Dr. Nun-
nelly, Judge Rosa, Mr. Willingham,
Judgo-Longley, Governor Northen,
Judge Klmscy, Dr. R. A. Jessup, and
many other men Identified with pr«
blbttlon Is Georgia, were refusing to
fdllow, what waa clear to us, a terri
bly mlstakefT effort to throw prohibi
tion Into the ''useless end foolish”
campaign; and that we would on other
laaues vote for Governor Brown, that
an attack by Mr. Williams began, to
be focused upon mo as the head nnd
front-- of/ all offender*. Against my
desire to pursue my way quietly, I
wee compelled to repudiate end re
sent Mr. Volney Williams' “strictly
confidential" circular, and thus I have
been drawn Into a disagreeable con
troversy. , ,
