The leader of the Speer forces was in my office and when he saw the procession pass he declared, “we can never overcome this demonstration.” Candler spoke and Jackson county was won. So great was the enthusiasm the crowd, a large part oi* it at least, accompanied him to Mad ison and then to Athens-, and the dem onstrations were unpai’alieled in the history of Georgia polities. “And that reminds me,” continued Judge'Bell, bof a meeting in Athens ? ’;er Candler had arrived, at which a number of his young but unscrupulous friends were advising him to do this thing ana mat thing to take auvantage of Speer, which were not in accordarc - with Colonel Candler's ideas of propriety and. he arose then and said to them: “Gentlemen, we must not do anything which we will be ashamed of after the campaign.” This is the kind of man Allen Candler is, and everything is for him in Jackson county.
