THE HEARST CAMPAIGN
KERFLUMUXES IN GEORGIA
!
The Big Wad of Money He Was,
Fxpected to Unroll Never Game ;
(HAIRMAN OUT OF TRACES;
And for a While It Was Reported
Candidate Carter Would Follow
suit. Differences Recently Patched
Up Would Not Stay Settled.
The serious split which for some
time was understood to exist in the
Independence party in Georgia, but
was reported to have been settled
during Mr. W. R. Hearst’s <xecent
visit to Georgia, has broken out
afresh, and it has been announced
by Chairman Suttler of the Independ
ence state executive committee, thatl
no electoral ticket will be put in<
the field. |
't was further announced that hei
and Candidate Yancy Carter, who!
was nominated by the Independence
party for governor, would bolt His-|
zn and Graves, for president and
vice-president.
Carter Repudiates the Statement.
Saturday Mr. Carter gave to the
Press a signed statement repudiating
the statement of Chairman Suttler,
énd declaring that any suggestion
that he is not for Hisger. and Graves
I incorrect. An electoral ticket has
4150 been announced.
If Hearst Had Opened His Barrel.
The following interesting story
tells how, after Mr. Hearst's recent
VISIL to Georgia and the differences
I his party were supposed to have
been patched up by the New York
editor removing at least in part the
fmancial embarrassment which led to
‘e differences, it was intended by
Us leaders in this state to conduct
'€ campaign.

tearst movements arve always well

"arty have had resplendent visions

~4Ve seemed to feel that a juicy po
“cal lobster like Hearst does mnot
"OW D in Georgia very often. How
w\;r,‘ Mr. Hearst has proven less of
o, obster than expected. He has
00 upon the plan of seeing the
200ds hefore dispensing the cash.
‘L Is said that the state leaders
tted to receive a campaign fund
th%’}“»nuu for distribution in this
“'(Ve*r'al In fact, it has been reported
arrived Uimes that the bank roll had
B The evident hesitancy on
"¢ bart of those in control in loos
ening up has each time thrown a
blanket of doubt over such rumors.
On the sum ment‘oned the state
leaders were said to be reasonably
certain that the state could be won
from the democrats, and to score the
victory, while the big pile of cash
was thought to be on the way, elab
orate plans of organization were
formed.
One of the plans, it is reliably
stated, was to employ men who are
capable of wearing good clothes to
travel over the state and talk revolt
among the democrats. These men
would travel as drummers, and would
claim to have supported Joseph M.
Brown in the recent campaign. These
men would also talk revolt, in each
section, narrating how the demo
carts were declaring for Carter in
some other section.
The writer of this has seen one
lone individual who took part in the
recent primary who says he is going
to vote for Carter in the general
election.
Another campaign method, less
ethical than the above, but which
illustrates Mr. Hearst's well known
axiom that money can buy anything,
was to hire as many persons who
were closely identified with the
Brow campaign as possible. This has
even been carried to the extent of
offering places and good salaries to
girls employed as stenographers at
the Brown campaign headquarters.
One of the amusing features of the
Graves notification meeting in Atlan
ta was the spectacle of William Ran
dolph Hearst occupying the chief
place of interest flanked on one side
by his $13,000 candidate for the vice
presidency, and on the other by his
$25.000 political agent.
More remarkable still was the vo
ciferous applause given an invidious
fling at Joseph M. Brown, the white
primary nominee for governor, made
by Mr. Hearst’s high-salaried private
attorney, Mr. Schearn. Many recall
ing the incidents of the recent state
campaign smiled when they noticed
that the president of the Atlanta
Liquor Dealers’ Association was one
of the most enthusiastic applauders.
~ Another laughable feature of the
so-called campaign is the charge of
fraud brought against the faction
supporting Mr. Brown in the recent
campaign. As is well known, the
other faection had complete control
of the election machinery, and if
there were fraud they should at least
know of it. They have never charged
any. Further than this, the registry
listt of the Fifth ward in Atlanta,
known as the one where fraud could
be practiced with less danger, per
haps, than in any other, has been
carefully checked. It proved ninety
nine per cent. pure, and those who
did the checking declare that with
time the other one per cent. could be
accounted for satisfactorily.
The Hearst people are circulating
a list of names of registered voters in
DAWSON, GA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1908,
We are exclusive agents for the celebrated Johnson (&
Murphey’s shoes for men. There are none better.
Fulton county whom they say cannot
be found at the addresses !given.
One of the first on the list is that
of an aged man, a highly respected
citizen, who has been a resident of
Atlanta for fifteen years, and is an
ardent supporter of Hoke Smith.
Without any investigation similar
accounting could be made for num
erous others.
HEARST GLAD SUTTLER QUIT.
Independence Leader Says Better Off
Without Him.
National Committeeman Clapp of
the Independence party in Georgia
has received a telegram from William
R. Hearst saying he was glad that
Bernard Suttler, editor of The Radi
cal and chairman of the executive
committee in Georgia, had quit the
party. He said the party was better
off without such men as Suttler in it.
Mr. Hearst declares that the Inde
pendence party has no need of mer
cenaries, and will be stronger when
they all quit.
KERN HAS FUN WITH GRAVES.
Tells Hearst's Man Baptism Is No
Longer Paramount Issue.
In reply to a challenge for a joint
debate John W. Kern, the democratic
nominee for vice-president, wired as
follows.
“Hon. John Temple Graves, Chat
tanooga: My engagement for tomor
row afternoon is for a non-partisan
address. Cannot be in Louisville at
night. Have pleasant memory of
long conversation witu you in July.
We agreed perfectly on everything
but baptism, and that is no longer a
paramount issue. Come and visit me
at Indianapolis. Promise you good
time. JOHN W. KERN.”
A SUGGESTION.

GUSSIN' ISSUE IN CAMPAIGN
i
SPEAKER CANNON IS HAVING
THE' RACE OF HIS LIFE.
Attack on the Extensive and Em
phatic Vocabulary of “Uncle Joe"
Has Stirred His District From
Center to Circumference.
If the Hon. Joseph G. Cannon suc
ceeds in getting back to congress
as the representative of the Eigh
teenth Illinois district it will be only
after the hardest sort of a fight. His
opponent for the seat is the Hon.
Henry G. Bell, who is popularly
known as ‘‘Ding Dong Bell,” and
who has instituted what promises to
be a whirlwind campaign against the
grizzled Speaker. That Mr. Cannon
is the mainstay of the trusts in con
gress is very well known, but Mr.
Bell isn’t going to attack him on his
trust record. It wouldn't be worth
while to assail the trusts in the
Eighteenth Illinois district, because
the trusts distribute lots of money
there in one form or another. But
Mr. Bell is making it hot, and is
going to make it hotter, for ‘“Uncle
Joe’’ on account of his language. On
every stump in the district Mr. Bell
is going to tell, in the most polite
language imaginable, what impolite
language ‘“‘Uncle Joe'’ uses.
In short, Old Man Cannon ‘cuss
es,” and he does it in a manner to
make the air turn blue and smell of
sulphur. He ‘‘cusses’” when things
don’'t go to please him, and he
“‘cusses’’ when everything is running
as smoothly as grease. He ‘“‘cusses”
before breakfast and after supper,
and a whole lot between times. His
influence upon budding young con
gressmen, as may be imagined, is
something fearful. Hearing the great
speaker of the house ‘‘cuss,” the
budding young congressman thinks
there can be nothing very wicked
about it, and so he falls into the
hateful and useless vice with the idea
that it is something of a political ac
complishment.
The attack that is being made upon
Speaker Cannon on account of his
soned physicians undertook to pump
him out.
“I surmise that the pump acei
dentally got down his trachea into
the lungs,” said Dr. Wilhelm Porter.
‘“‘His stomach was so full of beer
and other ligquids that these were
possibly gorged back and flowed into
the lungs,”” said Dr. Kleinhaus. ‘His
lungs were full of the fluid, and this
caused him to drown.”

language is no laughing matter, and
nobody knows it better than him
self. Once before a similar attack
was made on him, and it won. That
was back in 1890 or thereabouts.
Mr. Cannon made a speech in the
house during the course of which he
used a simile that was regarded as
coarse and indelicate. The next day
the whole country buzzed with the
scandal of it. Samuel T. Bussey,
living back in Illinois, took the mat
ter up and ran for congress against
Mr. Cannon, with “kot air” as the
issue. Mr. Cannon was beaten, de
spite all of his apologies and expla
nations. At the next election, how
ever, Cannon was returned to the
house, but he was a chastened man,
in a measure. He never again
“‘cussed”” on the floor of the house,
but it seems that he has still been
“slinging language’’ around the cor
ridors and cloak rooms, right where
people can hear it. And that has
given the Hon. “Ding Dong” Bell his
opportunity. If we are to have puri
ty in politics we must have purity
in language. The statesman who
“cusses” is not above suspicion of
also smoking tobacco and drinking
cocktails with cherries in tuem. And
if he does all of these things mani
festly he is not a proper person to
dominate the popular branch of the
national legislature. The Eighteenth
Illinois district is reported to be lean
ing very strongly towards that opin
ion.
[ INDEPENDENCE ELECTORS.
|
'Dr. M. A. Baldwin of Cuthbert Is the
i Second District Representative,
Candidates for presidential elect
lnrs on the Independence party ticket
have been made known. Their names
were submitted to the secretary of
state by J. H. Wilson and E. E. Clapp,
chairman and secretary of an alleged
convention held in Atlanta Sept.
11th., by which, it is set forth, the
nominations were made.
Several of the candidates do not
live in the districts for which they
are candidates, but, according to the
attorney-general, this is permissable.
Yancy Carter, the Independence can
didate for governor, was to have heen
one of the electoral candidates from
the state-at-large, but was taken
from the ticket after he bolted the
national part of his new party. Mr.
Carter, Bernard Suttler and others
are operating a little Independence
party of their own now, having
broken connection with Mr. Hearst.
The electoral candidates follow:
First district, J. A. Pinkerton:; Sec
ond district, M. A. Baldwin: Third
district, Charles H. Evans: Fourth
district, Is. P. Foster; Fifth district,
E. H. Goodhart: Sixth district, Percy
Middlebrooks; Seventh district, E. E.
Clapp; Eighth district, Charles L.
White; Ninth district, Joseph Bla
lock; Tenth district, J. O. Blood
worth; Eleventh district, J. M. Wil

TWO MEN AND A WOMAN ARE IN
RANDOLPH COUNTY JATEGii.
Were at the Latter's Houso“a Short
While Before the Tragedy. Eyi
dence Is Circumstantial.
Officers from the Fourth distrite
of Randolph county carried three ne
gores to Cuthbert last Tuesday after
noon and placed them in jail under
warrants sworn out against them on
charges connecting them with the
killing of Henry and Herbert Bius.
Bob Johnson, who claimed to have
formerly owned the pistol found ly
ing between the dead bodies of the
two boys and who was discharged by
the coroner’s jury, was rearrested,
and is one of the three jailed.
Essie Coleman, one of the others
jailed, was one of several negroes
in a wagon who left Edwards’ store
shortly after the Bius boys left.
Savannah Woods, a woman, was
the third one jailed. It is claimed
that she lived on the other side of
Hick’s mill, near where the killing
occurred, and it is claimed that the
two boys had stopped there on their
return home and some difficulty arose
and their slayers followed the boys
from her home.
George Thomas, the negro against
whom a warrant wag issued on the
day after the killing and whose pis
tol, it is claimed, did the work, is
still at large.
The evidence against those who
have been jailed is largely circum
stantial, but it is believed that their
arrest will bring out the full truth
of the transaction and perhaps im
plicate other parties,

Two hundred thousand deaths
from consumption in the United

record! Had that many deaths re
sulted in twelve months from yellow
fever, or typhoid, or measles, the
country would have been thrown into
panic and shotgun quarantines would
have bheen established at every cross
roads. But the “white death” has
marched over the whole country,
from ocean to ocean, reaping a tre
mendous harvest, without causing
anything like exceptional alarm.
practically one death in ten in the
United States last Year was caused
by consumption.
