Carter Tate came down from
Washington sometime previous to
the meeting of the Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee which met in
Gainesville on the 22nd day of
April and is now in the mountain
counties working as hard as he
knows how r to retain his seat m
Congress.
At his post! Where is his post
in these troublous times? Is it in
Washington or in the mountains
of North East Georgia?
He is billed to speak for the next
tw T o weeks throughout the moun
tains and if the United States is
sunk during that time it will no
doubt be all right with Carter,
provided that there will be a res
ervation of the Ninth Congress

The Cherokee Advance is pub
lishing a challenge from Tate to
Thompson to meet him at his ap
pointments in the mountain coun
ties. If Thompson has received
the challenge we have not been so
informed but at any rate he will
meet Tate at Cleveland, and per
haps at Dahlonega and Dawsou-
viile. Let the people come out
and hear them and judge by whom
they desire to be represented in
Congress. A good time is assured
and when the thing

the “marble heart.”
In the meantime let Tate ex

has been drawing from the U nited

ANOTHER GRAND STAND PLAY
Congressman Tate is making
another of his famous grand stand
plays. This time there is nothing
more in it than in all others pre
viously made. He is publishing
in his organs a list of his appoint
ments, and they are shouting that
Mr. Thompson has been invited to
be present and join Mr. Tate in a
discussion.
How far this is from the truth !
Mr. Thompson has not had one
line from Mr. Tate requesting him
to meet him at his appointments.
But Thompson can call a bluff
all right, arid, he is going to meet
Tate at Cleveland, and perhaps at
Dahlonega and Dawsonville.
Tate had figured it out that
Thompson had already made dates
at other places for the same time
he was to speak in the mountain
counties, hence his latest grand
stand play. But that wont work.
Thompson will cancel a few other
engagements and will go right up
and meet Tate! He is eager to get
