It seems that Clark Howell only
succeeded in making Rome howl

The Hero and Agonizer says
Hon. VV. C. Adamson “can go to
Congress as long as he wants to.”
That emphatic statement extin
guishes another burning question
of the hour.
At last, the real Democrats of
Georgia are awakening Augusta
Chronicle.
This is news. The public has
been thinking all along that the
"Hampocrats” were extremely
wide-awake.
Judge Dick Russell looks good
to us. Last Week's Dick Russell-
Clark Howell.
Any gubernatorial candidate
who can he used as a catspaw for
Clark Howell in Coweta county
looks that way to this ancient, ma
chine-finished, professional, politi
cal bootlicker.
It seems that the News made a
very conservative statement when
it said last week that a majority of
Congressman Adamson's constit
uents disagree with him on the
question of disfranchisement. The

The “real” Democratic newspa
pers of Georgia are enthusiastically
engaged in helping tne Populists
get their State ticket in the held.
This Populist movement to pre
vent tne white people of Georgia
from coming together in the
Democratic party has the hearty
sympathy and support of all "real”
Democrats. Some "real’’ Demo
cratic newspapers even go to the
extent of printing the news about
this Populist movement in their
editorial columns; which gives the
public the right to conclude that
the movement has the editorial en
dorsement of these “real” Georgia
friends of white supremacy. The
real motive behind the actions of
these alleged friends of the Demo
cratic party is patent to all. As
one of the most pathetic examples
of this badly mixed condition of
State politics, see last week's in
stallment of tho Newnan Dick-
Russell-Clark Howell.

People who were present at the
Smith-Howell joint debate in At
lanta and afterward read the Con
stitution’s report of the affair,
unanimously agreed that the Con
stitution is the blue ribbon An
anias of Georgia journalism; and
the Constitution's report of the
joint debate in Rome indicates
that it is making strenuous efforts
to sustain a deserved reputation.
The most inconsistent men in
Georgia are those gentlemen who
are advocating any candidate for
governor to beat Hoke Smith. In
one breath they praise James M.
Smith because he is opposed to
negro education and the next
minute they open their mouths to
advocate Dick Russell's plan to re
lieve the negroes from taxation,
give them nine months of tree
schooling each year and all the
free school books they can use.
The Weakly Dick Russell-Clark
Howell, ot this city, is authority
for the interesting information
that Hon. W. C. Adamson “can go
to Congress as long as he wants to,
without the support of Troup
county." This statement may or
may not be true; but the News
ventures to assert that our Con
gressman will be mighty well
pleased to have the support of
Troup county in his next race for
Congress. Judge Adamson should
pray for deliverance from the
Some of the foullest rot that is
being dished up in the newspapers
land used against Hoke Smith in
| the present campaign is the dis
gusting nonsense in regard to his
“greed for office."
As a matter of fact Hoke Smith
never in the past, in a single in
stance, asked the people of Geor
gia to elect him to office; and he is
seeking tho governorship now in
response to the desires and de
mands of thousands ot Georgians,
who called him from the peaceful
and lucrative practice of law to
bear aloft their standard and lead
the tight for retorm in this cam
paign.
This talk about Hoke Smith’s
"greed tor office," whether it is
handed out by the press or passed
around by the professional hot air
artists of the opposition, disgusts
all honest, conservative voters of
the Slate, regardless of their affil
iations in the present campaign.
Talking about “greed for office,”
what about the greed for office so
characteristic of Clark Howell and
Dick Russell? lloth of these dis
tinguished patriots have been pro
fessional office seekers and office
holders for twenty years or more.
They have been found asking the
people for political preferment
every election year during that
time.
Clark Howell has an office hold
ing record that is envied by every
professional politician in the State;
and now he is asking Georgia to
elect him governor in the "line of
honorable promotion.’’
Judge Russell’s career as an
office holder, as outlined in that
historically accurate and biograph
ically authentic journal,the Weak
ly Dick Russell-Clark Howell, of
Newnan, Georgia, began in 1S82.
He held office continuously after
that date until his resignation as
superior court judge was presented
to Governor Terrell in the spring
of this year. He served three
terms in the Georgia Legislature,
ten years as Solicitor General of
the Western Circuit and more than
seven years as Judge of the Su
perior Courts of the same Circuit.
It has been estimated that Judge
Rutsell has received #75,000 from
the public treasury in salaries as a
public official.
In addition to holding office con
tinuously for 24 years, Judge Rus
sell has been a candidate for other
offices during that period, and
never deemed it “greedy" to hold
on to one office while reaching out
to grasp another.
Those delectable gentlemen and
journalists who are muck raking
for horrible examples of the “greed
for office." should dig up the
political records of Dick Russell
and Clark Howell.
discussed the issues and the public
record ot his oppohent in a parlia
mentary manner. No feelings of
anger were displayed by Mr. Smith
or Mr. Howell, and each gentle
man referred to the other in duly
courteous manner at all times dur
ing the debate.
The debate was listened to by
[,200 to 1,400 people, in Nevin’s
opera house, Country people pre
dominated in the audience and
Smith men were decidedly in the
majority. An impartial witness
states that both speakers won
friends, but that the opinions of
their auditors remained unchanged.
The same impartial critic says that
Mr. Howell received hearty ap
plause, but Mr. Smith’s followers
made the greatest demonstration,
throwing their hats in the air and
waving handkerchiefs.
Mr. Howell’s speech was a bet
tor campaign effort than his At
lanta speech. He sustained him
self better and made a better im
pression upon his hearers. Mr.
Smith's speech was along the usual
lines and was the kind of sledge
hammer argument he has been
dealing out to tne people during
th<- past twelvemonths.
Some new and striking features
of the debate deserve attention :
Mr. Howell made the direct
statement that Joseph M. Brown,
Railroad Commissioner, should be
removed from office, and said he
favored the removal from office of
Railroad Commissioner II. Warner
Hill, He frankly admitted that
he did desire the support of Thos.
E. Watson—and, he added, the
support of every other white voter
in the State.
Mr. Smith displayed a flaming 1
circular containing the pictures of
prominent negroes he is charged
with having appointed to office,
while Secretary of the Interior.
This circular is being widely dis
tributed by agents of the Atlanta
Constitution and is probably being
sent through the mails, also. Sev
eral days ago th<* News was in
formed that this product of the
muck heap was being scattered
broadcast over the State and that
Coweta county was receiving a
fair proportion of these circulars.
The concensus of opinion is that
the Rome debate did not affect the
situation in Floyd county and that
Hoke Smith is stronger than Clark
Howell in that county and will
probably carry it in the primary on
August 22nd.

Contemporary.
Editor News:—
The tangle-brain editor of your
contemporary, the “Hero and
Agonizer,” was quite garrulous
and gratuitous in his last week’s
issue when he ventured the re
mark: "There is nothing the mat
ter with our feather-legged con
temporary, the News, except that
it has no sense.” "Much learning
doth make thee mad” could not be
applied to the “Hero and Agon-
izer's” editor; and he must have
made this remark on the occasion
of a recent visit from his old
friends. Messrs. “Rocky Mountain
Rye” and ".Murray Hill Club.”
These fellows and your contem
porary are congenial “spirits,” it is
said, and at times they exercise a
very exhilerating effect upon his
tangled brain.

Newnan, Ga.
Vox Populi, Vox Dei.
In a private letter to the editor
of The Reporter, Judge Adamson
complains that this paper did him
great injustice. Some very good
friends of our Congressman were
of the opinion that he made a mis
take in delivering what he calls a
Democratic speech, especially as to
tho time he chose to make it. We
simply stated, that for this reason,
many of his constituents were se
verely criticising him. We can
not see any injustice or wrong in
that, and deny that the amiable
Judge has any ground for his com
plaint.
The facts of the case are about
this way: We Georgia people are
having a little family contest. The
contention of one side of the house
is that everything is all serene,
that what we have is good enough,
and they want to let what they
call “well enough” alone. The
contention of the other side of the
house is that reform is needed even
in Georgia, that we are paying un
just and exorbitant freight rates,
and that the influence of the cor-
porate interests is too great in
our affairs for the best good of our
people; and those making this con
tention believe further that the
best interests of the State will be
conserved by the enactment of a
law disfranchising the negro.
Preceding the congressional
nominating convention, the people
gave no thought as to Judge-Ad
amson’s position on these issues,
conceding him the right to his own
opinions, and thought that as he
had kept quiet before the nomina
tion he would continue to do so
afterwards. He had been quietly
hoeing his own row, and the peo
pie naturally expected him to con
tinue that job to the end. It is
probable nine-tenths of his con
stituents believe in disfranchise
ment. They did not believe they
were groping about in darkness on
this question, and had not called
upon him for enlightenment.
Therefore his speech opposing dis
franchisement and his exagerated
approval of the present status of
things came as a distinct shock to
hundreds of his friends in this
section.
The Reporter, in its usual very
mild and conservative manner,
stated that he was being criticised,
We but gave notice of the pub
licly expressed opinion of hosts of
our people, and in doing so we did
Judge Adamson no injustice.

this article to Judge Adamson’s
consideration.—LaGrange Report

SMITH AND HOWELL IN ROME.
Impartial reports from the
Smith-Howell joint debate in
Rome justify the conclusion that
it was pitched on a higher plane
than either the Columbus or At
lanta joint debate. Each speaker
Hon. Warner Hill, chairman of
the State Railroad Commission,
contributes a rather warm card to
the State campaign, in which he
accuses Hoke Smith of all sorts of
lying, demagogery and hypocracy.
The trouble with all the many card
writers who are opposing Mr.
Smith is that they mistake abuse
of that gentleman tor answer to
his contentions that reform is
needed in many Georgia affairs—
especially in freight rates.—La-
