FACTIOUS WELD
IN STATE URGE
Slaton and Hudson Both Say
They Are Not Running on
Old Line-Up.
»• By JAMES B. NEVIN.
Now that the presidential primary
has been relegated to the rear and the
political gossips have thrashed to a
frazzle the whys and wherefores there
of. the gubernatorial primary sched
uled for August is beginning to absorb
the attention of Georgia politicians,
wise and otherwise.
Thus far those interested in the fight
for the governorship have experienced
quite a measure of difficulty in getting
anything like a straight line on the
probable line-ups.
Early in the game the impression got
abroad somehow in Georgia that John
M. Slaton was to be the Joseph M.
Brown candidate, so called, and Thom
as G. Hudson the Hoke Smith candi
date, ditto. The basis for this seemed
to be that Mr. Slaton has always been
close to Governor Brown and was his
warm friend in Brown's last race, and
that, therefore. Mr. Hudson must be
Senator Smith's candidate —otherwise,
how was the ancient Brown-Smith feud
to be continued in Georgia?
“They Say" Went Wrong.
In framing up the initial getaway,
Old Man They Say seems to have done
most of the talking, however, for ef
forts to square the apparent facts to
day with what that interesting but not
always reliable authority gave out orig
inally fall to establish the truthfulness
of the allegations beyond the shadow of
a reasonable doubt.
Mr. Slaton states emphatically that
he is not the factional candidate of
anybody, and will not be. He admits
his prior friendship for Governor
Brown, but declares that he desires to
be a candidate before the whole people.
He points out many warm supporters
among former staunch partisans of
Senator Smith, and he avers that he
has no real reason to suspect that the
senator will even object seriously to his
election.
Hudson Is Free. Too,
Mr. Hudson states, with no less em
phasis than Mr. Slaton, that he, too.
1s the candidate of no faction. He be
lieves he has a following of his own,
for one thing, upon which he may de
pend stoutly when voting times comes:
and that, while he would appreciate the
support of Senator Smith and hope? he
will get it. he, nevertheless, does not
consider that it is tied or obligated to
him. Counterbalancing Mr. Slaton's
citation of former warm Smith parti
sans now for Slaton, Mr. Hudson cites
former warm Brown partisans now for
Hudson.
And over and above all of this comes
the statement from Senator Smith that
he will participate absolutely not at all
in state politics this summer; whereas,
jf Joseph M. Brown has any idea of
taking up the cudgels in anybody’s
behalf, he has said nothing whatever
about it.
Wherefore, optimistic arid ' cheerfully
disposed Joys are opining that maybe,
after all, Georgia is headed for a gu
bernatorial campaign this summer In
which the old factional differences-are
to be forgiven and forgotten, and upon
which white-winged Peace is to confer
its benediction to a limited extent, any
way.
There are Glooms abroad, of course,
who dispute vociferously this, benign
prediction—but the Glooms do not in
variably know it. all, of course.

PAULINE, FAMOUS HYPNOTIST.
HEADS BILL AT FORSYTH
Pauline, the wonderful hypnotist, will be
the featured headliner at the Forsyth
this week. There has never been a great
er star in vaudeville brought here. The
scientist has attracted a sensation in
many of the great cities of the world and
holds a record for long engagements in
New York city. He claims no super
natural power, but has mastered the art
of the'control of mind over matter. It is
generally known that hypnotism is accept
ed as a fact in many of the schools of
medical learning and that bloodless sur
gery has followed the operation of the
gift. Pauline will show some wonderful
experiments and he will add comedy that
is natural. The wonder worker promises
to give some demonstrations during the
week that will be of unusual interest, and
it is expected that his original novelty
will be one of the best drawing cards the
theater has ever had.
The Exposition Four, one of the clever
est combinations of entertainers ever seen
at the Forsyth, will be given a royal
welcome. These four men are excellent
musicians and they have a novelty in
quick costume changes that makes them
a drawing card of rare consequence.
Fleurette. in visions d'art, will be another
of the feature acts, introducing for the
first time here a genuine Parisian novelty
that will have its.value. The pretty girl
will be seen in living reproductions of
some of the world's greatest works of

H. H. PERRY. CANDIDATE
FOR THE UNITED STATES
SENATE, ADDRESSES THE
VOTERS 0 F STEPHENS
COUNTY.
(From The Toccoa Record)
Judge' H. H. Perry: of Gainesville,
who is a candidate to succeed Hon.
A. G. Bacon in the United States sen
ate, addressed the voters of Stephens
county in the court house last Friday
during the noon hour recess.
Judge Perry was introduced to the
audience by Colonel Claude Bond, who,
among other things, said:
"I have had a great many pleasant
relations with Judge Perry during my
association with him at the bar and
otherwise. I have heard a great deal
said about his character as a gentle
man and about his private life, and I
have never heard anything said against
either. He is a clean, Christian gen
tleman, so far as I know or have ever
heard. But you have known that fact
longer than I have, and it is useless
for me to try to tell you anything
about Judge Perry’s life. Os course, it
would be but natural that we people
in this section of the state, who have
lived near him all our lives and know
something about his character, and
know it to be good, and know some
thing about his ability as a statesman,
it would be but natural that we should
feel inclined to support him for any
office to which he might aspire. 1
don't know a man better qual'fied to
occupy a seat in the United States sen
ate than Perry. We all recog
nize him as one of the ablest men we
have in the Northeastern circuit. He
has represented his home county in
the legislature and in the senate, and I
don't believe he has ever asked his
home people for anything that he didn't
get, and now that he is asking the
state, I think that we here can call
ourselves his home people. l I take
pleasure in introducing Judge Perry."
Judge Perry then spoke in part as
follows:
“Friends and fellow citizens: I feel
complimented by your presence here
today, and I thank Colonel Bond for
his kind words. I onlj' wish I was
one-half worthy of them, but inasmuch
as he has seen fit to refer to me so
kindly, it will always be an inspira
tion to me to so live as to be worthy
of such words.
“Gentlemen, I am not an office-seek
er. and have never been one all my
life.
“The people first elected me, and that
put me on the firing line. I began to
study public questions, and I saw what
a grip the money power had on things,
and I saw that the time had come when
the people of America must break it
up. So I have been deeply interested
In the great fight -that has been going
on to preserve the ideals of. Amerii an
citizenship. We have seen the money
power -the special interests —dominat-
ing our councils in Washington, and
often our state legislatures. We have
seen them build up through their agents
in our very midst a great standing ar
my to do their bidding, until it looks
as though government by the people
had perished from the earth.
“Now. back in 1776, in the Revolu
tionary days, our forefathers resisted
foreign oppression with heroic hearts,
and shall we, their descendants, calm
ly sit back and submit to the domina
tion of money aristocracy? Is the dan
ger any less because it is within our
gates? Now, as then, ‘the oppressor’s
heel is on our shore.’ and I can not
see how any man can fail to do his
share in this great struggle that is
now on from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific. ■
“I am not 'talking- through my hat.
There is not a thinking man in the
United States today out what recog
nizes that we are at a juncture in our
affairs. Even President Gary, the pres
ident of the great steel company, the
greatest corporation that ever existed
in the history of rhe world, said In a
speech in New York that unless the
leading men of the United States would
go to work and find a remedy for the
evils of the day, in a feu- years Amer
ican institutions would be swept away
by revolution.
“We saw recently that groat strike of
the mill operatives in Lawrence, Mass.,
where women were shot down in the
streets, and where the military was
brought out to control the strikers, that
President Gary was right, and that rev
olution is certainly what we are coming
to unless are made right.
“The governor of Massachusetts came
out in a card, and it is published in
the New York papers, in which he ap
pealed to congress, and said that the
people who work the hardest are paid
the least, and that unless congress re
duced the cost of living by taking off
the high tariff on the necessaries of life,
thev were facing a revolution and dis
turbances al! over the United States.
Said he: ’These people, working hard
from one week's end to another, are
unable under the present conditions to
earn anything like a living on account
of the high prices produced by your
tariff and I appeal to congress to re
duce it.’ There is not a thinking man
in the United States today but sees
what we are face to face with, and is
will have their first opportunity of wit
nessing tonight at the Grand.

trying to find out a remedy.
“Now, let us look at our condition.
I am going to discuss some things that
affect you and your children very ma
terially. Let us talk about cotton.
You know people say we mustn't raise
so much cotton. Very well, that is all
right. But you know we have got to
raise cotton. If we don't, where are
we going to get our money? A large
area of our land is not fitted for any
thing else; besides, cotton commands
the readiest sale for cash. The entire
world depends on this great crop which
we here in the South have a monopoly
on. From the prince on his throne,
from the pigtailed Chinaman to the
savage in the Philippine Archipelago,
they must all have our cotton. Do you
know that in '65, after the blockade was
raised and our first vessel carried a
cargo of cotton to England, and it was
being hauled through the streets to the
factories and warehouses, that men and
women came out and kissed the bales
and cried in their joy to see cotton
brought to their shores again, and they
could go back to work?
“Why, with this crop of cotton com
manding a ready sale for cash, the peo
ple of the South ought to be the rich
est in the world. And yet is is true
that the people who make this cotton
are the poorest paid for their labor ,of
all the people on the face of the globe.
A crop that represents millions and
milVons of dollars and the maker of it
to receive so little of It. Go to Massa
chusetts today, where they have many
millionaires to the square mile, or New
York, and you will see some of the
men who profit by your toil. Some
body makes thousands of millions out
of this crop. We don't make it; we
don't get it. We have a mighty small
balance left after we have paid for out
guano, food and clothing. But it rolls
into the pockets of some of the people
of the United States, and one reason
for this is that we have allowed this
crop to become a football between the
gamblers in cotton futures, and they,
by methods peculiar to them, know
how to depress the price before the crop
has been brought into market, and then
after they have bought it. they know
how to bring the price up so as to
make large profits on it.
“Now, under the old Roman law, it
was not allowed to sell any product of
the farm by future dealings. It had to
be made; it had to be gathered; It had
to be in hand. No kind of speculation
was allowed on the product of the farm,
and I tel) vou there is nothing that has
demoralized our Southern farming as
gambling in futures has. and if I had
my way I would have a law prohibiting
the use of the telegraph and telephone
wires and the mails for this purpose.
“But this is not the chief trouble.
The chief trouble why we do not get
more out of our cotton is that the prof
its. are taken up by the high tariff and
high duties we are compelled to pay for
what we buy. John C. Calhoun 75 years
ago said tn the farmers of South Caro
lina: ‘Your arms are too short to con
trol the price of cotton in the world. We
have to sell our cotton in England.
France, Germany; America doesn't take
up but a small part of our crop: we
have to sell it in Europe. Now, if we
can sell cheap, all right, provided we
can buy cheap. If we have to sell our
cotton according to the prices made in
the markets of the world, then for God's
sake, give us a right to buy our sup
plies, if necessary, in the markets of
the world.’
"George McDuffie was a great South
Carolinan. In his day the tariff was
per cent Well, what does that
mean? He says ‘it means, if I send cot
ton to Europe and order goods fnr my
own and my family's use 1n return. I
have to pay 40 bales of cotton to the
United States for tariff, so that, makes
me have to pay 140 bales to get 100
bales worth of goods.’ That is plain,
but mind you, i’ this day the tariff is
much more than 0 per cent. On wool
en blankets, for instance, you would
have to pay nearly 200 per cent.
“Here, now, is the tariff we have
been paying. Take blankets gfe an ex
ample. On a pair of wool blankets that
would cost $4 at retail, we would have
to pav $2.47 for tariff. We might tak r
up other things. Suppose you went into
a store to buy a set of dinner china
with a colored edge. The price would
he sls, say. Well, out of this sls 60
per cent would be tariff, and that would
make more than half of that sls that
you pay in tariff. So you can take this
list, one article after another of your
household necessities, and figure it up.
We will say that all the thine-? a family
has to buy during a year would amount
to $1,500. Any of you can take the
tariff table —you can find it in th<’
World's Mmanac and other publica
tions —anti vou will find that out of
every $1,500 that a man spends for
these necessities of life, he is paying
from 40 to 50 per cent for things he
doesn't get But somehodv gets it. Who
gets it? Well, J will tell vou. The
trusts get it. the great monopolies get
it. We build tin this great tariff wall
and keep out the goods that we could
get from Germany. England, Franc
Switzerland; the high tariff keeps their
goods out, and then behind that high
wall these monopolies flourish They
say. ‘We have sheltered ourselves from
any foreign competition, and we will
compel the people to pay what we say.’
It is getting worse and worse. Why,

death was looked upon as certain. The

ed that the recovery, was effected by
Fulton's Renal Compound, and Chandler
was put on it on that day. It was a very
hard case and recovery was slow, but
about a year thereafter he was able to
return to employment. The above anni
versary tells the rest

they are all made by the Internationa!
Harvester Company. . So with other
things. Where we used to have Coates'
thread and Clark’s thread, apd other
thread companies, now it is sail th"
American Thread Company; until near
ly all of the necessities of life are con
trolled by a trust, and they can put
their prices as high as they please, and
we have to pay them And what is the
consequence? The great men who con
trol these trusts are growing richer
every day, anti the common man finds it
harder and harder to keep his head
above water. You know, back before
the war, the farmers owned about 60
per cent of the wealth of this country;
today the farmers only own mavbe 15
or 20 per cent of the wealth of the
country. And today you take all the
wealth of the country—the railroad
lines, steamer lines, the mines and the
great industrial concerns, and accord
ing to the financial statistics, 5,000 mil
lionaires own nearly 90 per cent of it.
The wealth has been accumulating in a
few hands through these methods and
this unjust condition of affairs Who is
building up these immense fortunes?
Think of one man being worth six hun
dred million dollars—Rockefeller alone
is worth this. If a man horn at the
time of our Saviour two thousand years
ago and lived until now had received
$60,000 every year of his life, he would
not be worth as much as Rockefeller to
day. Rut who pays it? We, you, are
the goose that lays the golden egg. And
these few men who are so rich they
hardly know what to do with their
money, they control our railroads, they
own the stock in our steamship lines,
they own the stock in the mines, in our
great factories, in.the sugar trust. m°at
trust, thread trust, flour trust and ma
chinery trust—over 900 trusts in the
United States, The power they wield is
so great that thev have been able to
largely control the legislation of this
country. And what are we—what am I
what are you? We have become the
peasantry of this great country. Your
ancestors and mine left us a free coun
try, but it looks like we are going to
pass down to the boys and girls of. to
morrow the heritage of being the hew
ers of wood and drawers of water of
these United States.
"We have this year, as you know, an
election by the people through a pri
mary of a I nited States senator. Mr.
Racon has been in riffice nearly eighteen
years. Now. our system of government
contemplates a change of officers. A
man who is in office so long gets out of
touch with the people. We need occa
sionally a man from the common walks
of life. So our laws wisely provide that
a governor shall only be elected for two
terms; it wisely provides that a con
gressman shall come before th» public
for election every two years. Some of
them ought to go out oftener than that.
“Now. as to Senator Bacon. In 1908
the Democratic platform on which he
was elected declared for free lumber.
The Democratic faith is this, that you
mustn't take the . hard-earned money
from one man and give it to another
man to build up his interests, but th?
great Republican idea has been to build
up special interests. Now. the great
tariff contest came up in 1909. We had
a Democratic platform declaring there
should be no duty on lumber. Senator
Paeon and lam not attacking him un
der a blanket, I have published an open
letter to him expressing my views
Senator Bacon voted with Mr Aldrich
against the other Democrats not to
have free lumber, as the platform said,
hut to put $1.50 to $3 a thousand on all
lumber, and The Congressional Record
shows that. Senator Bacon's vote was
a fine thing for the lumber barons, bur
it was against the common people. I
don't mean tn reflect upon hi- honesty,
but to show the bias of his mind that
it is with the ‘special interests’ rather
than for th>- rights of the common peo
ple.
“Now, the United States senate is a
very important bodv. There are only
two men from each state in it, but we
can have no measure for the relief of
the people unless that body agrees to it.
The people do not seem to think how
important it is to have a man repre
senting them in the senate who Is in
sympathy with them. We have sat back
and let them do as they please. They
are said to be a conservative body, and
they are not in favor of anything new.
but » ? going tn hold the country back.'
and this very fact has been the favorite
barrier behind which th< great special
interests of this country have taken
refuge and have berm able to restrict
the necessary reforms.
■'Gentlemen, it would suit me a great
deal better to sit at. home than to make
this fight, which is an expensive thing
to me. and I had rathei do that than be
in the United States senate. You may
not believe that; it doesn't make any
difference to me: but I will tel! you that
as long as thes" conditions prevail, ]
don’t think it would be my duty not to
do my part as an American citizen. It
is a cans" in which a man might cheer
fully lay down his life If I can lift a
voice that will help along this cause, I
will cheerfully do it. I am making this
fight for the people and I shall press It
to the end."
Judge Perry’* address was eagerly
listened to by the audience, and many
of his sentences were heartily applaud
ed.
