TOM WATSON
TO GEORGIANS
AT ALEX. STEPHENS’ HOME.
MB CO>TIM'ED HIS ARRAIGNMENT
OF DEMOCRACY.
Watson Ridicules tlie Idea of a
Southern Party—Race Hatred and
Sectional Passion Dwelt I’jton—De
clares the Democratic Party Is no
Longer a .Notional, bnt a Sectional
Party—Plea lor Jeffersonian Prin
ciples Is Made.
Crawfordsville, Ga., Nov. 30.—Thom
as E. Watson, recently candidate of
the People’s Party for President, to
day addressed a large crowd at this
place, the former home of Alexander
H. Stephens. His address was receiv
ed with close attention, but with no
marked enthusiasm. He spoke in part
as follows:
After the Civil War the politicians
made capital out of the race hatreds
and sectional passions engendered by
that strife. Every statesman who tried
to breast that current was swept
away. In the state of Georgia this
was amply illustrated.
Joseph E. Brown urged the people
to "accept the situation,” and become
reconciled to the re-established Union.
He went down under a storm of abuse,
and a whole generation passed away
before the South realized that he had
been right. Benjamin H. Hill ventured
to attend a Republican banquet at the
Kimball House in Atlanta, and to
plead for a better understanding be
tween the North and the South. Next
morning he awoke to find himself in
famous; and for ten years he was a
political outcast.
Alexander H. Stephens, the most il
lustrious Jeffersonian Democrat since
the days of Andrew Jackson, spent
his fortune in the effort to maintain
a newspaper, whose purpose was to
recall our people to the principles of
Jeffersonian Democracy and constitu
tional liberty. He lost his money and
accomplished little good with his pa
per. The tide was too strong.
Wanted a Winning Platform.
Southern politicians, hungry for of
fice were not on the lookout for what
was right. They wanted a platform on
■which"they could win. They were
• tired of being in the minority”—as
■was the St. Louis crowd in 1904. In
steady of trying to regain the confi
dence of the country by firm adher
ence to principle, they began that se
ries of attempts to humbug the pub
lic which ended in the earthquake of
Nov. 8. When Southern Democracy
trooped at the heels of unscrupulous
leaders and declared in national con
vention their "devotion” to the Four
teenth and Fifteenth amendments,
they lied so artlessly that even the
artless knew they lied.
And Henry Watterson of Kentucky
was president of that convention! Be
ginning with this kind of false pre
tense, it was no wonder that national
Democracy has had but one success
ful leader since the Civil War. Nor is
It any’wonder that this leader, Cleve
land, left the party in a plight so
hopeless that not even the strategeni
practiced upon the Populists In 1896
could save it. To secure his victory in
1592, Cleveland's managers had to
make pledges to Wall street which
Harrison had refused to make. When
Congress and Cleveland began to pay
these campaign debts, the people at
last awoke to the truth. National De
mocracy was revealed in its true light
as "the other horse” of plutocracy.
Clevelaml’s Rond Sale.
When Grover Cleveland and John G.
Carlisle made secret midnight deals
with Morgan and Belmont to issue the
founds which Harrison had refused, and
when those bonds of the richest na
tion on earth were sold behind closed
doors for a price less than the negroes
were getting for their bonds in Ja
maica, a deep-seated hatred and in
dignation was aroused which nursed its
wrath for ten long years and then
broke like a tempest over the Cleve
land candidate of 1904.
In national politics the Democratic
party stands without a party, a de
claration of principles, or accepted
leader. It is utterly bankrupt in repu
tation. It has no unity of conviction,
sentiment or purpose. It contains an
tagonistic element which can never be
harmonized. Its secret purpose is so
foreign to what Democratic masses
approve that the eternal struggle of
the national leaders is to prevent the
Democratic masses from penetrating
that secret purpose. What is that se
cret purpose? To use the Democratic
party in support of the same system or
class legislation which the Republi
can party stands for. The watch word
is "keep up the attack upon Repub
lican individuals, but do not attack
the system of special privileges which
is responsible for present conditions."
In other words, the secret mission of
the Democratic party is to keep up a
sham battle. By keeping the people
divided and deluded, they hinder the
organization of a real opposition to
greed. Thus the national Democratic
party is the best friend of which the
plutocratic Republican party can boast,
for the Belmonts, who call themselves
Democrats are just as much In favor
of special privileges as the Carnegles
*nd Morgans who call themselves Re
publicans.
Watson’s Xew York Statement.
On Nov. 13. last, I gave out a state
ment in New York in which it was
argued that there was no hope of re
form Inside the Democratic party. At
tention was called to the fact that
the machinery of the party was in
control of “the plutocratic element,”
and that this element would seek to
maintain the advantage it had won at
St. Louis.
This prediction has already been
verified. On the night of Nov. 21. Judge
Parker and several other chiefs, rep
resenting "the plutocratic element,"
mex at the Manhattan Club in New
York city for the purpose of forming
plans to insure the future control of
the Democratic party. Nothing is more
certain than that this "plutocratic ele
ment” will maintain its power. They
control the sinews of war—the money
the newspapers, the machinery.
And I make this prediction: Bryan
will be its candidate for the nomina
tion!
Second to that prediction. I make
another: When Bryan runs for Presi
dent In 190S as the candidate of the
Parker - Belmont - Cleveland - Gorman
combine, He will be n worse beaten
man than Parker was.
For Mr. Ilryau to
Does Mr. Bryan sincerely believe that
he can commit the National Demo
cratic Convention to his recently re
imired and replenished Populist plat
form? If so, he must see that the
country would then have two Popu
list parties. Such a contingency would
be laughable were not the crisis so
grave. Mr. Bryan must know that
his programme promises nothing bet
ter thun another spectacular combat,
at another St. Louis convention, with
another "dog-fall'* as the result, an
other surrender on the part of Mr. Bry
an. another shunt battle before the pso
pj*. and another Wut#rl<a< In which
all will be lost, including honor,
i **/•. •‘'■l'*' l this •ampaign tiled to
lead Democratic gentlemen where gen
iienjen could no go. tie failed. If
ns is g wiae man the lesson will do
him good. Let him quit playing poli
tics? with sacred principles. Let him
quit trifling with the passions, the
hopes, the convictions, and the suffer
ings of the American people. Let him
realize that radicalism in this country
is stronger than Bryan, or Hearst, or
Debs, or Watson; and that the self
important leader who seeks to butt the
engine off the track will politically die
as the fool dieth.”
No Longer a National Party.
The Democratic party can no longer
claim to be. national. It is sectional.
The South is still its victim. The South
is still the quadrennial sacrifice which
corrupt or stupid Southern politicians
deliver over to Wall street. But for
the solid South, the Eastern Democra
cy would have to shut up shop, Join
the Republicans, and face a genuine
party of opposition.
What keeps the South solid? Noth
ing in the world except an out-of-date
sectional animosity, and the shameless
ly hypocritical cry of negro domina
tion.
In each Southern state there is a
monopoly of privilege and power which
is fighting for its life. Asa rule, this
monopoly is based upon the support of
Northern railroads. Northern banks,
Northern manufactures, the school
book trust, the Standard Oil trust, the
tobacco trust, the whisky trust and the
cotton seed oil trust. Fed bountifully
from these rich sources, the Democratic
machine in the Southern states is very
haughty, indeed. It wants no change.
Southern politicians will sacrifice the
national ticket, any time to maintain
the local monopoly. And the “negro
question" is the joy of their lives. They
exist upon it. They fatten on it. With
one shout of “nigger” they can . run
native Democrats to their holes at any
hour of the day. Men who appear to
have some common sense in other di
rections lose ail their mental bearings
when the "negro question” is sprung,
and they Immediately begin to hop
around in a Dervish dance of political
hysteria.
A Vuln Arttumnt.
In vain you point to them that the
Southern states, excepting Georgia,
have disfranchised the negro. In vain
you remind them that the negro is
completely in our power, and that there
is absolutely no limit to what we do
to him when we want to do it.
In vain you suggest that in spite of
the political cry of “negro domina
tion,” the Southern people are so de
termined not to part with the. blacks
that we are ready to lynch the emi
gration agent who tries to carry them
away. Nothing counts —not during the
campaign. After the campaign the
politician laughs, the editor laughs, the
officeholder laughs, "We fooled them
one more time”—ind they wink as they
meet and nass.
Take the state of Georgia, for ex
ample. It is ruled by the railway
combination of which Hamp McWhor
ter is the lobbbyist, the professional
corruptionist. He is the creature of
August Belmont, Democrat, and J. P.
Morgan, Republican.
On Sept. 1, 1904, in Atlanta, I alleged
that this Democratic machine in
Georgia could not be maintained with
out the negro vote. I challenged them
to unite with us Populists and remove
that disturbing faction from politics.
I challenged them to meet us on the
question of principle before the white
people of Georgia—leaving the negro
out of it. Did they dare to accept
it? No. Do they now dare to accept
it? No.
They are perfectly aware of the fact
that they cannot secure a majority of
the white votes in Georgia, and they
hold the negro in reserve. He is the
card they keep up their sleeve.
Wright anil the Governorship.
Let it be remembered that the Hon.
Boykin Wright, the railroad candidate
for Governor of Georgia, has already
placed himself on record as being op
posed to removing the alleged “negro
question” from politics. He can't part
from that stock in trade of political
humbuggery. He must keep his dear
"nigger question." He might want to
use it again. Bereft of that, he might
not have anything to talk about when
he faces the dear people. He simply
proves what I stated in that Atlanta
speech: “The Democratic bosses in
Georgia are determined not to allow
the negro to be removed from politics.
Without him they would be as much
lost as the cow that had lost her
cud."
Can such political hypocrisy always
succeed? Will th people never open
their eyes? The Populists have
publicly and solemnly offered to aid
the Democrats in removing the negro
question from polities. We want to
have a fair, square fight on principle
before the white people of Georgia;
and the railroad candidate for Gover
nor says that we shall not have it.
He contends that the white primary
had already settled the "negro ques
tion.” Why, then, did he not inform
the people of that fact during the last
campaign? Why was the alleged “race
issue” ridden so hard in Georgia if the
white primary had already settled it?
In. truth, the white primary has not
settled the “negro question.” The
white primary is not a law. It can
he put aside by the Democratic party
at any time. The State Executive
Committee can adopt it or not, accord
ing to pleasure.
A Qnratlon for Mr. Wright.
Does the Hon. Boykin Wright mean
to say that the Democratic party of
Georgia pledges itself to the people
that they will abide in all future elec
tions by the vote of the whites? I
challenge him to state in plain, simple,
unequivoeable language Just what he
does mean.
I long for the day when the politi
cal servitude of the South will end.
To see my home section prostituted
every four years to the bestial lusts
of Wall street tires my indigestion.
Fellow Citizens: Arouse yourselves
to the facts. Realize that for four
years the national Democratic party
will have no platform excepting that
abominable makeshift adopted at St.
Louis. Realize that the plutocratic
element which captured your machin
ery will possess it four years at the
least. Realize 'that your national chief
is not Bryan, nor Hearst, nor Bailey—
but Tom Taggart of Indiana, chairman
of your National Executive Commit
tee. And who is Tom Taggart? A pol
itician of low type who rose to power
by coddling the negro vote of Indianap
olis In ways which would make a New
York ward heeler blush. At French
Lick Springs, Indiana, Is one of the
largest, most splendid gambling re
sorts of America. Known throughout
the union as the Monte Carlo of these
United States. Who is the chief man
ager and keeper of this magnificent
gambling hell? Tom Taggart, the offi
cial commander-ln-chief of the national
Democratic party.
Tied lip to Wall Street.
Those of you who mean to vote the
principles of Thomas Jefferson, Andrew
Jackson and Alexander H. Stephens
can never be at home In a party which
is tied hand and foot to Wall street
corporations. Those of you who want
to follow the lead of respectable men
can find a better place than Is afford
ed by the party whose national chiefs
are August Belmont, Bill Sheehan.
Cord Meyer, Dave Hill and Pat Me-
Carren. Those of you who believe that
a citizen should vote as he prays
ought to think twice, and again twice,
before following the banner which is
held aloft by the notorious Tom Tug-
Kart—dhu gambling hell man of In
diana.

WE HAVE been watching for years the grand, curative results obtained by people thronghont the vuprld by ths use of Drake's Palmetto Wine. /
From the experience we have had with it we know what it will do for sufferers from catarrh of the mucons membranes, from kidney trouble, I J
stomach disorders, bladder and urinary disease, thin blood, diseases of women, nervous disorders and weaknesses, constipation and many
other diseases of the vital organs. But the main point with us is j
HOW CAN WE GET YOU TO KNOW WHAT IT WILL DO FOR YOU?
We want to interest you in Drake's Palmetto Wine in an open, honest way because we feel positive that we have a remedy of genuine worth for the cnf
of certain diseases—but even such sincerity, of course, will not necessarily prove what it will do for you.
• We are not trying to conceal anything from you. The title itself tells you what the chief ingredient of Drake’s Palmetto Wine is, the essence of the
glorious palmetto berry —but that does not prove what it will do for you.
We might produce argument upon argument that would convince you as to the merits of Drake’s Palmetto Wine and why it is better than other remedies
for the same purpose, arguments that would be logical, sound and honest—but still it would not prove what it will do for you.
We could send you original letters from over 10,000 people singing the praises of Drake's Palmetto Wine —and even that would not prove what it will do for yon.
We could present testimonial letters galore showing that well-known residents say they were cured of every symptom and disease that we claim to cure
with Drake's Palmetto Wine—and still that would not prove what it will do for you.
Then what will prove it?
1 WE WILL GIVE A TEST BOTTLE FREE TO AHYONE—THAT WILL PROVE.
Yes, that is the best and most absolute proof —for you to let us give you a trial bottle free of charge. You are sick and looking for a cure. We claim
gsa to have the remedy that will cure you. The thing for you to do is to call at the address given below and they will cheerfully hand you a test bottle of
rjl Drake's Palmetto Wine, free of charge and include booklets, etc., on the subject, also free.
Drake’s Palmetto Wine is not a “drugging process"—is is very pleasant to the taste and one dose a day is all you take, but so curative is this wonderful
jjj palmetto medicine that the one dose daily does the work thoroughly—brightens your eyes, clears out the liver, stomach and bowels, strengthens the nerves, psri
lies and enriches the blood, invigorates the muscles, tones the kidneys, bladder and mucous membranes and makes you once again a rejuvenated man or woman.
Let the free test bottle prove all this to you. Also, take a glance at the appended letters from cured people, just a few.
