As is the caste, with some of
the papers of Georgia, they
only publish that part of the
political news which suits
their purposes best. Had it
ever occurred to you that
somewhere along the line the
reporters for the Atlanta Jour¬
nal had run up against a crowd
in their poll-taking business
that was not all for Hoke
Smith? It has occurred to us
that perhaps the votes taken
at various times, when, not
turning out-just right for their
candidate, were quietly and
With littie ado consigned to
the -place, prepared for such
literature as does not suit the
fastidious taste of the man
agement. At least it is very
strange that ITowell or any
other candidate Jor governor
never gets within reach of
Mr. Smith. The Georgia
Weekly Press Association did
some voting last week when
on its annual outing, and the
election was held by an At¬
lanta Journal man, too. When
the votes were counted How¬
ell had 77 and the balance of
the candidates, all told, 18.
He was offered fifty dollars to
publish the report in the Jour¬
nal, but he gracefully de¬
clined. “You can fool all of
the people some of the time,
and some of the people all the
time, but you can’t fool all of
the people all the time,” is a
mighty true saying and when
reaction takes place on the
Journal and on the people’s
(?) you are going to hear
something “drap.”
“Hoke Smith is the ablest
and bravest living Georgian, ”
declares Tom Watson, “and
I am going to run the race
with Hoke Smith.” “If he is
nominated I will advise my
people’s party friends not to
put out any ticket of any sort. > »
The above quotations are
taken from a speech delivered
at Thomson, Ga,, last Satur
urday, hy Hon. Tom Watson.
It seems as though Mr. Smith
is a people’s part) candidate
rather than a people’s candi¬
date.
John 1 ). Roc kekej.lick
says he believes in the broth¬
erhood of man. He also says
that he is full of the joy of
living. No doubt he can say
these things. He believes in
tile brotherhood of man all
right, but he wants to be the
big brother—take all that’s
good and if any is left give it
to the little fellow.
As it is always the rase, let

riated mob in the snburbs of
Atlanta Tuesday. His victim

amount of hot air and school boy
rhetoric while you were an active
candidate for the United States
senate. We have not heard
your shelling the woods anv ami
whooping the wool-hat boys up
since you saw the handwriting on
the wall and reluctantly lowered
your political colors. You call
me a “complacent politician."
You are right; I am complacent
because 1 always gut what l
wanted politically, when I was in
the political arena. I shall en
title you a ‘disgruntled, disap¬
pointed politician’ becau-e you
have never been able t.o get any¬
thing that you wanted politically
from the people, and a number
of times you have felt that you
were called. You say that I
have cost the fanners of Georgia
hundreds of thousands of dollars
in advocating high prices for
cotton. This is * strange confes¬
sion, and shows how absolutely
ignorant you are of practical
business affairs, especially as
regards the legitimate spot cot¬
ton situation. It is well known
to all large cotton dealers and
manufacturers that but for the
hard fight l made this winter for
higher prices that the cotton
growers all over the south would
have been forced to market their
cotton at from $o to $10 per bale
lower than they received. That
I have made mistakes and that
the Southern Cotton Association
has made mistakes there can be
no denial, but they have been
influential compared with the
tremendous gain which have
THE MURRAY NEWS, FRIDAY, AUGUST 3, HWI
accrued to the south, conserva
tively estimated hy leading an
thorities at $200,000,000 alone in
the price of cotton. The losses
to which you refer have been
sustained through the mainten
ance of bucket shops and local
wire houses which you are trying
so hard to holster up and which
the legislatures of Georgia and
other states intend to suppress.
I have received thousands of let¬
ters from farmers in the past
few months and spoken to thous¬
ands more, and in notone letter,
or from the lips of a single far
mer in Georgia or elsewhere
have I ever been criticised as you
insinuate. The only people from
whom you quote in your fcurril
OUH tirade of discontent are those
engaged in operating local cotton
exchanges and bucket shops.
Those who are so active in their
fight against the passage of the
present anti bucket shop and
local exchange bill now pending
in the Georgia senate.
“A brother-in-law of yours,
Mr. Cothran, hy your own ad¬
mission, is the local manager of
Ware A Leland’s private wire
house, and Dr. Crawford, by his
admission, is, or was until quite
recently, part owner of an At¬
lanta bucket shop. These men
can doubtless not only tell you
how much money Georgia farm¬
ers have lost in dealing with
their institutions, but. also give
you a list of the individual
names and losses of each man. I
have not the honor of their ac¬
quaintance, but they seem to be
boon companions of yours, least¬
wise yon seem to love to quote
from them. 1 care not to notice
the contemptible insinuations
contained in your extended effu¬
sion. They are beneath tho no¬
tice of respectability—aiid place
you among the class of pigmies,
which are looked upon as the
least and most insignificant of
God's creation.
“It would appear that the edi¬
tor of The Georgian is too great
to he criticized. Filled with
conceit and vanity, you utterly
fail to see yourself as others see
you. bike the gaudy peacock
you strut the street admiring
your own plumage much to the
amusement of the public at
lurge.
“Your slanderous insinuation
that I have in any way been con¬
nected with future gambling
transactions going on in this
city is an intentional and malic¬
ious falsehood, which makes it a
mean and cowardly attack,
Harvik Jordan-,
The Credit Men’s Association
of Atlanta, engaged in a strug
gle to extirate the evils of future
gambling, which is now doing
more harm to Georgia than all
things combined, was
amazed, dumbfounded and in¬
dignant t<> find The Atlanta
Georgian,a paper .which had pre
vkuisly stood for everything
was right, was being used as to
editor.al columns, in defense of
a certain class of future dealers.
It was generally rumored
around the city that the editor
of the paper, Mr. John Temple
Graves, had two or three broth¬
ers-in-law engaged in the so
called business of future deal¬
ings, and it was believed that
Mr. Graves, in his ignorance of
the true aspect of an economic
question had been led astray by
these kinsmen.
The Credit Men’s Association
appointed a committee and asso
ciared with that committee Mr.
Havvie Jordan, who was request¬
ed to write the reply to The
Georgian. Mr. Jordan wrote the
reply from Mopticello, and mail¬
ed it to us. In his absence, and
without his knowledge, the car¬
toon was made by our orders,
and the cartoon and article were
published in the Atlanta Journal
at our expense. The cartoon
was retorted to because we lean ¬
ed that The Georgian with edi¬
torials referred to, had been sent
to the members of the legislature
under sealed cover, and because
of the previous stand of The
Georgian these articles were cal¬
culated to do our cause harm,
and we, therefore, felt entire Ij
justified in using a legitimate;
weapon like the cartoon,
Mr. Jordan never saw or han
any knowledge whatsoever of the
cartoon until it appeared in print,
and this association assumes full
responsibility for it.
