HON. CHAS. R. CRISP’S ELECTION
. ASSURED BY A GREAT MAJORITY
. Hon. Chas. R. Crisp, without a|
doubt, will be nominated to suc
ceed himself as Congrzssman
- from this District by a very large
popular majority. He will cetain
ly carry twelve of the fifteen
-gounties with a probability of car
rying every county in the District
‘,with the possible exception of |
one, and his majority in séven of
the counties” will be very large
and overwhelming.
Mr. Hudson and his firiends
have failed utterly to becloud the
issues of the campaign by sing
ing the “Swan song” and howling
JEMUD SLINGING,” when they
themselves injected mud in the
clean waters in an effort to de
tract attention from MNr. Hud
rson’s public record, and we sub
“mit that the public record of ¢v
ery public official belongs to the
public and should be bared to the
spublic by men in office themselv
€s; and most certair®™should not
be withheld from the public.
" Mr. Crisp has shown no dispo
sition whatever, to touch upon
Mr. Hudson’s private life or re
flect upon him in the least per
sonally. It is only fair to the peo
ple that the Official Acts of every
candidate for office should be dis
cussed, and nothing more has Mr.
Crisp discussed about Mr. Hud
son than his Official Acts and we
cannot understand how Mr. Hud
son should object to this if he has {
been fair to the people he repres
ented. On the other hand if that
record had been what it should
be, Mr. Hudson would have in
vited a close investigation of
same. About the first ‘evidence
that was brought to our attention
that irrevelent things were being
injected in this campaign was
long before Mr. Crisp left Wash
ington, when Mr. Hudson was
making a personal canvass—
making slight remarks of Mr.
Crisp’s honored and beloved fa
ther who had passed away many
years ago. His effort to belittle
Mr. Crisp, stating that he had
done nothing but send “Garden
Seed,” his efforts to try to disrapt
friends and neighbors where Post
Office appointments had been
made by Mr. Crisp willing to do
..>7is 1n an effort to gain thereby,
1“; ‘}e first real mud came in this
caid Bign when Mr. Hudson, un
der his signature, sent out a six
teen pagc‘}mmphlct purporting to
be an address by him, but this ad
dress was delivered through the
mails and not from the stump and
it was a flimsy effort to muddy
the waters instead of an answer or
explanation of his Acts as a Pub
lic Official which it, evidently,
was supposed to do. Next came
John T. Royal, of Schley County,
an Ex-Representative and from
Mr. Hudson’s home town with
about three columns tryving to de
fend Mr. Hudson's record as Com
nussioner of Agriculture, but in
reality a vicious attack on Mr.
Crisp, striking so low beneath the
belt as to take Mr. Crisp to task
* for being sick when it was neces
sary to go West on account of his
health which had become impair
ed in the discharge of his duties
in Washington climate ably rep
resenting his people. |
Now we take what was charg‘-f
ed and published against .\lr.{
Hudson at the time when the in
vestigation of his conduct was
fresh, and so far as we have seen,
was not denied by Mr. Hudson.
“When the Ault investigation
was proposed. All the power of
Mr. Hudson and his friends was |
exerted to prevent the investiga
tion. \'J
1t 1s not disputed that the De
partment had become the poli
sical machine of rotten’ politi
rians, that he appointed inspect
ors made up reports and took no
-samples, that Hudson made no ef
tort to. protect. .th farmers,
THAT THE WHOLE DE
PARTMENT WAS AN EX
PENSIVE SHAM OPERATED
FOR THE PEACE HUNTERS
~nd the “Rule or Ruin™political
iass. For months and months
vie waited for this report, and not
: otil he was put under oath and
« 788 examined, could any of the
.ndal be exposed, etc.”
‘ow, if our recollection serves
v right, Mr. Hudson asked for
11, delay, either because he fell
<« or desired time to shape up
1 office for the investigation, or
1 - th, and this is when the months
of waiting came in.
Next appears in the Cordele
Tentinel an article of abise of
Mr. Crisp wholly made up of j
«yWET CLAY.” Now if wec were:
to give a reason for this we would
say, that the Cordele Sentinel be
longs to, or is controled by ong
Mr. Bivins; That said Mr. Bi\'insi
was an applicant for the Postofti+
ce at Cordele and was not ap
pointed. The rest, we leave to
the intelligent voters of this dis
aict. He, Bivins, also takes a
shot at Mr. Crisp because he fell
Jdl Mr. Hudson has advertised
extensively throughout the Dis
irict these Articles of Royal and
Bivins and has therefore put his
stamp of approval thereon.
Mr. Hudson in addressing the
voters of this City also took Mr.
crisp to task because of the sick
ness of My, Crinpl: So. we find
Audson, Royal and Bivins criti
-Ising a man because he got sick.
\ sickness contracted in the dis
harge of duty. \What kind of
‘mud 1s that?
Mr. Hudson at Richland made
an attack on a good citizen of
that town—only a few hours
fater Mr. Hudson spoke at Lllll‘l
pkin zmq his opening remarks
were, \ retraction of all he had
said' of this gentleman at Rich
land and an apology for ha\'in‘q
said what he did, as he had foung
out it wasn't true and he did not
wish to do the gentleman an in
justice.”
e NEXT DAY at Cotrdele
\ Mr. Hudson, aiter retracting and
apologizing for the statements
that he said he had found out
were untrue, reiterated the same
charges against the same gentle
man which said charges the peo
ple of this county knew were not
true and reputable citizens of
Richland had sworn were not
true,
Gliding over the charges against
his Public Record, not even at
tempting to answer or explain
many of his corporation votes, he
concluded by reading a letter
written by Judge Crisp to him of
tering to support him for Govern
or, which was no place in the
Congressional Race because it
was written before the Ault Com
mittee had signed their report and
before Mr. Crisp had occasion to
run down Mr. Hudson’s record.
He gave no reason why our peo
ple should send him to Congress,
and Stewart County will be fodnd
in the Crisp Column election day
by four hundred majority along
with most of the other counties,
Mr. Hudson was cordially in
vited by Mr. Crisp in a gentie
manly way to meet him on ¢he
stump face to face with the pec.
ple, Mr. Hudson declined, ash}?
had a right to do, but in deck T
ing he should have kept the mud
out of his reply and suppressed
the wail of defeat, but here was
his opportunity to refute any
charge brought against him yet
he signally refused to do so.—Thg

JOHN M. GRAHAM
of Niarietta, Given Extraordinary Support
John M. Graham, of Marietta, now and for many years connected
with the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals as joint editor and
compiler of the official volumes which contain the decisions of these
courts, is a candidate for one of the three new judgeships of the Court
of Appeals. He is strongly endorsed by the bar of Atlanta and Au
gusta, where he has practised law; by the bar of Savannah, Macon,
and other plaees, including his home city, and by former Judges of
the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals. He is the only candi
date from north of the Chattahoochee river, a large sv«#ion not yet
represented in the Court of Appeals. In official work like that per
formed by Mr. Grzham, Chief Justice Bleckley and Judge J. H. Lump
kin, of the Supreme Court, and other distinguished jurists, received
training for judicial service. In many states such work has been a
direct stepping stone to the bench.
Among those giving especially strong endarsements to Mr. Gra
ham are former Chief Judge Hill, and Judges Powell and Rottle, of
the Court of Appeals, and former Judges Atkinson, Cobb, Candler,
and Holden of the Supreme Court. Judge Powell writes that he be
lieves Mr. Graham to be “the best fitted lawyer in Ceorgia for this
position.” Judge Hill writes: *“ln my opinion, given without reser
vation and after a most thorough cpportunity of knowing whereof 1
speak, the people of this State have the opportunity, furnished by the
candidacy of Mr. Graham, of securing a judicial officer thoroughly
equipped for the work, of exceptional ability and experience in that
work, of unusual judicial temperament, .and a character of the very
highest integrity. I sincerely trust that the Court of Appeals may
be strengthened by His selection as one of the new Judges.”
Voters are asked to include Mr. Graham in
the three voted for at the Primary of Sept. 12th.
