REJOINDER OF SMITH
TO HO WELL’S SPEECH
FAN.
BATI'nPAY Jt'XE ». l&V!.
II
In hi* rejoinder of half an hour in hit
ileba'c with Clark Howell, Mr. Smith
*p,.ke as follow*:
My fellow citizen*, I did not know
bw much afraid I wa» of Sir. Howell
until I listened to him. Face to face
and afraid of him! Hoar ridiculous!
for what? HI* intellectual power? Ha*
be shown to you that he has any?
1 want to tell you one thing. I have
never charged him with anything that
was not true. I have charged him to
bis face with the records of the senate
which show what he did when the
franchise tax law was • passed. I
charged that Hooper Alexander pre
pared the law that William Schley
Howard Introduced and that It went to
ibe senate, having passed the house;
that he was prealdent and that he
silently let It die. I have charged that
nt the next session Murphy Candler
Introduced the bill nnd that he never
opened hi* lip* for It until It had al
ready received the 36 vote* that made
It safe.
•Here Is a letter from Murphy Cand
ler, who Introduced the bill. He tells
that if Clark Howell was for this
bill before he voted he never found it
out. I will give the paper to the press.
He supported that franchise bill just
like he worked for General Gordon.
Then he come* to you and talks about
mi frankness or my truth. I refer you
tn ids statement at Monticello that he
worked for General Gordon. It was
published In his paper that he said at
llontlcello that he worked and voted
for General Gordon. If a man Is to be
criticized for what he says, I will leave
Sir. Howell to the criticism that follows
what lie said,
Bsck to Freight Rates. ,
-But lei us get back to freight rates
s moment. Let us go back to what he
It doing now. He says he won't be re
sponsible for the editorial written In
hla paper: somebody else did It. But
here Is an extract from the speech he
made at Mableton only a few days ago.
He says your railroad commission
stands ready to rectify any discrimina
tion In rates In the state, and these are
the only rates over which the commis
sion has power. He says there are dis
criminations In local rates now com
plained of. He prides himself upon
the proposition that there was nothing
that the railroad commission could do
that It did not wish to do. There Is the
story. Anybody can write u few nice
lines about how he loves Atlanta. Any
sophomore at college could have de-
11,dined those few sentences with
which he expressed his love. My fellow
wfS.ei fa ( l be S,ev * ns son-in-law. I
wanted the boy* to make a tight then
and named to put the old gang from
the Democratic executive committee,
but they thought It best to hold them
™.»J*P ‘he organisation and ju*t put
out Jim Griggs and all the Hearat men
who were running from the state at
arge. and I yielded to their view. Now,
I* It fair, ia It candid, when he knowa
he was for Yeomans, when he knows
Yeomans was In his gang, a man of
the old gang, that I was forced to take,
to make that sort of a speech before
me? Is It fair? Is It candid? My dear
boy*. It I» »» candid as the statement
that he worked for the election of Gen
eral Gordon.
blent want of Information upon the
subject Is pitiful. When he told you
Hi,it he had given to the railroad com
mission of Georgia the credit of a re
duction in freight rates, that your body,
jour chamber of commerce, your
freight rate bureau secured, and went
on to state, 'Yea, I gave It to them;
they got It from the railroad commis
sion.' why Ids Ignorance Is pitiful.
"If lie will show the order, I will feel
almost like doing what he keeps on
saying he will do, Withdraw from the
race. I think, between me and you, he
wants to withdraw. He Is not In the
race now. I was glad to concede him
this joint discussion. 1 want to boost
him up and keep him In It. There are
not live counties In Georgia that you
an name that he will carry.
Commission Had Nothing to Do With It
'tel! you
1 want to (ell you about that
reduction. The state railroad commis
sion had nothing to do with It. They
are Interstate rates. They were not
local rates. It was obtained by an
azreement from the general freight
a zeals of the big railroad systems com
ing Into Georgia from outside of
Georgia, and the railroad commission
had nothing to do vrlth it. I won't
accuse him of Intending to state what
Is false. I don't think he knows, and
titc more I see of him and the more I
hear of him, the leas I see he knows.
When you put n little fellow In a big
man's shoe* you ought to expect him
to rattle around. I don't blame him
fir calling on the spirit of Henry Grady
to save him.
"Hut let me come to his charges
•gainst me. Oh! I will make them
hear," replying to a remark from the
audience. "I want to come to hi*
charges against me. He say* that I
never used any of the money that
came from that bar for charity. He
made the statement, but I nm sorry for
a man who will make statements he
don't know anything aboat. My friend*,
It 1ms not been my purpose to refer
i, lint beenme of that money. I have
not paraded It. I hav* never wanted
t" A man he put up to ask me ques-
th ns brought It out, and he ha* harped
on It ever since. I have never referred
to It In a speech from that time to thl*
moment, hut the poor children of At
lanta are receiving their books.free to
day from that money.
T*ll* Th*m a Story.
i want to tell you a story. I have
told It all over Georgia. I have told
It not In a personal way, but It Is a
giwl story and It Illustrates the cam-
pai*n I have had to conduct. I have
been lighting the cause of the people
to Just rates ngalnht the combination
of railroad lawyers and hired politi
cians I knew when I siarted the fight
* 'c you that every falsehood that ma
lignity and Ingenuity could suggest
*'®u!d be hurled at me. I have not been
disappointed. Now for the story.
There was a traveling man down In
* aith Georgia who had a dream and he
defamed he died and went to hell.
“>wn there he met the devil, and the
devil asked him what was going on In
Georgia, nnd he told him that Hoke
Fmlih was running for governor as the
t-uple's candidate and was going to
I* elected. The devil got mad. He
' id he was not for Hoke Smith and did
' ’■ like him at all. and he reached
•u: and touched a button, and at once
* "hole lot of little devils shot up'In
tc." air, and he say*: ‘Boys, get ready
! 1 go to Georgia. Fly all over the
'fate. Sting Hoke Smith everywhere.
, we! him from the mountains to the
Hot Wa line.’ The little devil* left to
gn ready. The big devil turned around
1 • the drummer and asked him who
"as lighting Hoke Smith, and the
mummer mentioned some of the can
didates, some of the hired politicians
»ttd some of the corporation attorneys
, some of the balance, and the devil
’imply reached, down and touched the
button once more, nnd back came the
little devils, and the b|g devil said to
them: 'Bovs, I have found out who Is
"gluing Hoke Smith, so It won't be
sary for you to go to Georgia at
Alt.
Calls Hewall Crest Joker.
"Hut he has come here with another
***• He I* a great joker. He ha* told
• i n* story about my controlling the
Explains Rcquttt to Yeomans.
“But let ua see what else he Is do
ing. Let us see what el»e he I* doing.
He has utterly misconstrued what I
said to Yeomans and he has mussed
and mixed It so completely that you
cannot tell what took place at all from
his description of It. I did want Yeo
man* to call the slate comnfltlee to
gether. I suggested It. I wanted them
to get to work. 1 wanted them to do
something besides being ornaments.
But they belonged to the old mnchlne
nnd they were not much for Parker
anyhow, and they would not offer to
come. I suggested, then, the advisabil
ity of their considering the question
as to what would be the future of the
men voting for Watson who had voted
formerly nnd during the years after
wards for the organization. After con
ferring about It we both concluded It
was not necessary to call them to
gether. We did not want them, but
knew that nothing could tend to keep
them away from the voting If they
wanted to.
Repudiates Committee's. Action.
“Now what has the committee done
but Insult everybody who wont' prom
ise what he will do years hlnce? I
utterly repudiate that conduct of the
committee. If that Is Democracy, I re
pudiate that with It. And he says I
attacked the organization, the. leader*.
When Democracy Is composed of Hamp
McWhorter, Enoch Callaway nnd Clark
Howell I repudiate It all. Why, he
knows es much about Democratic prin
ciples as he knows about freight rates.
Poor, pitiful party, If he is to lead It!
Poor, unfortunate merchants' !f he Is to
run freight rate reduction for thelp!
Let u* look at It a moment. Let us
turn te other states. Suppose there
were Republican committees all over
the United States who decided that
every man who voted with them this
year and changed his vote for the
Republican nominee two years hence,
should be disqualified. Whnt would we
think of It? We would.think that
when we come to discuss the Issues
that they ought to have the right to
determine what they would do. What
I condemned your committee for was
undertaking to tie up every Georgian
a# to what they were to do two yean
hence. I am not afraid to condemn
that. The people all over Georgia con
demn that. Over two-thirds of the
county committees had acted. They
knew that they obeyed the wishes of a
small- ring In opposition to the wishes
of the people.
‘‘Just one thing more, and I am go
ing to close, whether my half hour Is
out or not.
[ nsk that those going out will be
as quiet as they can, because I am not
going to stop speaking because they
ore going out. I Intend to make those
ho want to hear me hear me.
Goes After The Savannah News.
"I call your attention to the atti
tude of The Savannah Morning News
toward Mr. Howell's candidacy. The
Savannah New* Is the paper which
runs a 'rat' office and fights union la
bor In Savannah. Why, Mr. Howell
used his own reporter, Mr. L«wls, to
send a report of one of his speeches
to The Savannah News.
"There Is nothing they can say about
me personally that they are not willing
to use. Day after day their editorials
attack me. There are only two plausi
ble explanations. One would be that
Clark Howell and Estlll are In com
bination. Another would be that Es-
tllt knows that Clark Is dead and
out of the race, and don't want to kill
him any deader. Why, If you should
vote for Clark Howell you know you
are not voting for a governor. You
have heard him here tonight. Why, I
knew from the first If he would just go
over Georgia and let the people lo ik
at him and listen to him his name v.as
Dennis. All the prestige he has ever
had In Georgia has disappeared since
the people have found him out. But
he says I should have left It to Fulton
countv, and he would retire If I beat
him here. I don’t want him to retire.
I want him to stay In the race. (Turn
ing and faring Mr. Howell). Since I
bought The Atlanta Journal, your pa
per and your people have relentlessly
followed me at every point of life, nn I
/ want you to stay In this race until
the nnlsh. And when the finish comes,
It Is your finish.
Psopl* Will Crush Ring.
"The backing of the railroad lawyers
Is strong and the great combination*
are powerful, but when the people of
Georgia rnnrlutle to take a part, tm»y
will rise In their majesty and crush the
political agents of the great corpora
tion* and their allies and their big lav
yer*.
"I called the people of Georgia to
action, and, thank God, they are ar
rayed In battle line. From the moun
tains to the Florida line, from Ala
bama to South Carolina, the people of
Georgia have taken charge of hla race:
the fact la, I am not exactly running
for governor, the people are making
the race, and Just using my name to do
It with. You can fool the people a
while, hut cannot fool them all th»
time. On the 23d day of August, when
the news comes, Fulton county, made
up of the same patriots that are found
In the balance ut the slate, will line up
with the balance of the people of Geor
gia In a triumphal march for popular
government. The time will come when
It will take more brains a*, well aa
more brawn to make a race In Georgia.
If you want to have a part In the nom
ination for governor and want to aend
your delegatee to the convention to be
given to somebody, possibly-to Estlll,
possibly to Dick. Russell, possibly *0
■oms new man,, then vote for Clark
Howell, for If he rarrles the county,
you don’t know who. la going to bo
governor. You are voting for a pig In a
bog. He knows,' they all know, that I
have got more strength In Georgia and
a greater following because I am lim
ply representing. the people, then all
four of them put together. They show
ed this when they postponed the nomi
nation almost until after the election
Primaries Will be Dteisiv*.
•The fact Is, they cotdd not call f
In the next place lie won't have It 1>

simply Invito you, my fellow clttsens,

Mr. Smith concluded with hi* great
story. In which the little boy 1st hla

SMITH DISCUSSES
FREIGHT RATES
Continued from Pegs Two.
the party, and, If necessary, by the
atate legislature, to bring It to an end.
No man should be nominated for the
atate senate who has not been selected
at the ballot box. nil the voters In his
entire senatorial district participating
In the nomination. If the people of
Oeorgla are to control their own af
fairs, they must strike at the very
root of those evils in our present sys
tem that hinder popular government.
They muat not only have the authority
theoretically, but they muat have It
practically, from the party machinery,
which gives them nn opportunity to
exercise the authority.
"I cannot too strongly Impress upon
the employees of the railroad compa
nies, the men engaged In handling the
trains, and working In the shops nnd
working on the tracks, that their In
terests are with the people In this
struggle. The same polities! power
which prevents action In behalf of
lower freight and passenger rates,
prevents legislation to protect the em
ployees of the railroad companies. The
laws of Georgia do not today protect
the employees of railroad companies
as do the English laws and the laws of
many states of the Union.
"Take as an Illustration the rule In
Georgia that If a railroad employee Is
In the slightest legree at fault, he
cannot recover In case he Is Injured.
This Is (ha law In few states. Nearly
everywhere except in Georgia, the ex
ercise of reasonable care Is all that 1s
required of the employee. During the
last session of the legislature, a hill
was Introduced In the aenate which put
railroad employees In this respect u|Kin
the same footing that they occupy In
other states. The bill came from Sen
ator Strange, of Bulloch. From him I
have learned that the political attor
neys of the railroads, and their Influ-
ence In the senate, made quick work
of this hill, nnd It win defeated. I
could suggest a number of other bills,
Important to the Interest of the em
ployees of the railroads, but the peo
ple must be In control before any hope
of their passage would be Justified.
To Impress Employs**.
"An effort has been mads to Impress
the employees of railroad companies
with the Idea that a reduction of
freight rates would mean a reduction
of their wages. I cannot too emphati
cally tell them that I would never
a party to such action.
"The shippers of Georgia do not de
sire an advnritage nt the expense o
that faithful body of men who make
the operating force on ,the railroads.
They Insist that the railroad compa
nies should pay their employees good
wage*. It Is not the money which Is
expended that we criticise.
"\Ve deny the right of railroad com
panles to pay dividends and Interest on
watered stocks and bonds. W« con
cede them tfie right to pay good wages
and to make a fair profit on the money

•The enforcement of the principle
for which we Insist. Instead ot Injuring
the employees, would make these of
ficers Who fix their salaries realise that
the railroad companies could get no
profit by grinding down their employ
ees, as the law will stop the net earn
Inga of the road at a fair profit upot.
the money actually Invested, and when
the railroad companies undertook to
cut wages they would be met with the
propolstlon that another cut would be
made by the railroad commission In
freight rates, and that watered etock
and watered bonds could not be en
hanced In value by unfair pay to em
ployees.
"The men who do the actual work
on railroad! have been my clients In
cases against railroad companies for
twenty-five year*. I have sought to
serve them both In and out of the
court house, and they enn truet me still
to guard their Interests In any position
to which 1 may be called.
Disfranchise the Negro.
“I advocate legislation which pill dla
franchise 95 per cent of the negroes of
Georgia. 1 cannot too -strongly state
that I do not advocate legislation which
wfll disfranchise any white man In. the
state. Six Southern states have passed
legislation disfranchising the negroes.
The testimony which cropes over,
whelmlngly from these stales IS that
the,legislation has worked well and to
the satisfaction of the people of the
states, that the negroes are better la
borers and more contented than ever
before, and that they have been entirely
eliminated from politics. In preaalni
the dlefranehlaement ot the negro,
stand upon the same principle enunef.
ated by Abraham Lincoln—
" 'I will say that I am not and never
have been In favor of bringing about
In uny way. the social and political
equality of the white and black .races—
that I am not, nor ever have been. In
favor of making voters or jurors bf ne
groes, nor of (qualifying them to hold
office nor to Inter-marry with white
people: and { will say. In addition to
this, that there ia a physical difference
between the white and black races
which, I believe, will forever forbid the
two races living together on terms of
social nnd political equality,'
"Light la breaking upon the people
of the entire country with reference to
the true characteristics of the negro.
Hon. diaries Francis Adams, during
the month of May, on returning from a

clared the utter Inferiority of the negro
rare when always free. He ahowa the
African negro, never a slave, to be In-
ferlor to the Southern negro at the
close of slave it. He declared, that the
difference between the African and An
glo-Saxon was too great to admit of
measurement.’
'•He declared that, looking about him
among Africans In Africa, the scales
fell from his eyes, and he said, T found

sufficient Ignorance, especially we phil
anthropists and throrlitt of New Eng
land.' He quoted with approval from
Hlr Samuel Baker, a* follows: ‘So
long as It Is generally considered that
the negro and white man are to be gov
erned by the same la we and guided by
the same management, so long will the
former remain a thorn In the side of
every community In which he may un
happily belong.' Then he declared upon
his own part ‘the white man and black
man cannot nourish together, the lat
ter being considerable In number, under
the same system of government.'
Work Done In Ignorance.
•Then he says: The work (tone by
those who were In political control at
the close of our civil war was work
done in utter Ignorance of ethnological
law and total disregard ot unalterable
feet. • • • The negro, after eman
cipation. should have been dealt with
".Seven or eight yean ago, when the
whltea were divided, I disapproved an
effort, at that time, to pass legislation
disfranchising the negroes. Today It Is
a simple task. There would have been
no opposition to It but for political rea
sons' and for the hope that iwlliical
capital could be made out of It. The
Atlanta Constitution editorially ap
proved disfranchisement legislation In
1*04. If It were not for the fif
teenth amendment tu the constitution
of the United Btatea, I would favor leg
islation which eliminated the right of
suffrage to the black man In Oeorgla.
That amendment only prevents the
elate from controlling who shall vote
lo the extqnt of declaring that the right
to vote shall not be denied nr abridged
on account of race, color or previous
condition of servitude. Legislation
can be passed which will accomplish
the desired result, which will not In
terfere with the right of any white
man tu vote, and yet rid the atate of 95
per cent of the negro voters.
Favors Alabama Plan.
"I advocate legislation upon the line
of the legislation adopted In Alabama.
It would be'substantially this: That
In addition to the present requirements
for registration In Georgia, each per-
aon registering must bring himself
within one of the four provision!,
which I will now slate:
"First, Any man who aerved In the
Union army or In , the confederate
army ran register and vote, .
"8econd, The descendants of men
who aerved In the Revolutionary war,
or the war of 1912, the Mexican war. In
the war between the states, either on
the Union or the Confederate efde, can
reglater and vote.
"Third, For six months after the
adoption of the law, any man who, In
the opinion of the registrars, li.ta a
proper conception of hla duly aa a citi
zen can reglater and vote.
"Fourth, Any man who can read and
write correctly any paragraph from
the constitution of the United titr.te*
or from the constitution of the state
of Georgia, selected and propounded to
him by the registrars, can register and
vote.
"Let the law further provide that n
man once registering under these pro
visions Is only required afterwards to
pay his taxes, to register.
• "These provisions make no discrim
ination on account of race, color or
previous condition of servitude; but
without that discrimination, they fur
nish the opportunity for every white
innn to register, anil they do nut per
mit the opportunity for 5 per cen‘ of
the negroee to register.
"But my opponent Insist! that no
necessity exists In Georgia for. such
legislation, and he argues, therefore,
that no necessity ever will exist. There
are, In round numbers, 225,000 ne
groes in Georgia who, If the" paid their
poll tax anti were permitted to do
so, would be legally entitled to vote.
There nre sixty-five counties In Geor
gia in which there nr* more negroe* of
voting age than white men.
As to the Whit* Primary.
"We have many elections In Georgia
In which the white primary can not
be used, such a* prohibition elections,
location of county court house elec
tions, local school tax elections, and
fence elections. In these elections, the
vote of the Ignorant purchasable ne-
rfh) Is just as effective aa the vote of
the while mnn; bU( I believe that tills
legislation Is Important with reference
to all of our elections.
"I favor the white primary, but any
man who say* white’primaries will al
ways bo sufficient Is mistaken. Take
th* recent action of the Mate Demo
cratic Executive Committee, It poised
a rule which was calculated to drive
every man out of the primary who ex-
jiects to vote the Republican ticket.
Or the Prohibition ticket, or the Pop
ulist ticket, In the national election.
"I do not think the resolution which
they passed will bring about any se
rious trouble, but another executive
committee might make It so broad os
to drlva out of our primaries every
man who would not pledge himself
permanently to vote for the national
nominees of the Democratic party.
Over 50,000 white men would there
by b* excluded ‘from -Our Democratic
primaries. This would reduce the re
maining white’ VOtq to about 220,000,
and leave outside the Democratic party
276,000 men entitled to. vote In Iho
state.
Today, an effort ft being made to
form a 'coalition among 'White men
whom It Is claimed will be excluded
from the primary to run an indeper.U
ent ticket and use the negro vote.
"I believe the wise course le lo plant
ourselves squarely upon the proposi
tion In Georgia that the negro Is In no
respect the equal of the white man,
and that he can not In future In this
•tate occupy a position of equality.
Those negroes who aspire to equality
can leave those who are contented tn
occupy the natural status of their race,
the position of Inferiority, all compe
tition being eliminated between the
whites and the blacks, will find them
selves treated with greater kindness
and will prove to be more contented
and better workere than they are to
day.”

Baltimore, Mil., June Governor
Warfield has appointed William Pink
ney Whyte, former goverpor, aa United
Htate* senator to succeed the late Ar
thtl Pue Gorman. It has been generally
•uppqeed that Gorman and Whyte were
bitter political foes, and the appoint
ment, for. this. reason,:haa caused con
siderable comment.
The new. senator was born In this
city August 9, 1924. He studied law,
took a course'at the Harvard Law
Hchool and waa admitted to the prac
tice of hla profession In 1(49. He was
elected toihe-house of delegate* of th*
Maryland legislature In 1947. He re

P. Ansley has been doing toward the
realisation of a Greater Atlanta In thla
Immediate present.
For more than six month* a hundred
team* and more than a* many men
have been at work transforming beau
tiful Ansley park to Its present condi
tion. This great force, under th* per
sonal direction of landscape Engineer
Ruff le still engaged la the work. It Is
Impossible to place on paper whst has
been accomplished. More than tan
miles of magnificent boulevard* and
driveway*, 76, 90 and 00 feet In width,
have been added to th* city, many of
these covering some of the most hle-
torlc points In the battlefields during
the a lego of Atlanta.
This week the county commissioners
passed up tha paving of the Prado of
Aneley park from Peachtree circle to
Piedmont avenue. This action was
taken because this convenience means
a saving of n mils and half lo the gen
eral public. Previous to this time all
travelers were compelled to take either
Fifteenth street or the roadway oppo
site! Weaa Collier’* place, some three
miles beyond Fifteenth street. An ef
fort to get this roadway, making pos
sible th* connection of these two most
Important residential thoroughfares In
Atlanta, has been mads for sevsral
years.
Both City and Country Advantage*.
In thl* development, for which Mr.
Ansley Is personally and solely respon
sible,-city water, sewers end pavement
ere guaranteed to all the residents of
Anslsy park. This means nothing less
then that every property owner In th*
park will enjoy every city advantage
while et the seme time his home le
situated In tha very mldat ot the foot
hills of Ihe Blue Ridge.
Perhaps the greatest advantage of
this beautiful park property lies In
the fact that It is located directly op
posite Piedmont park.
Most fortunately of ell, It directly
face* thet portion of Piedmont park
which has been saved for Its natural
beauty, and must always be preserved
as the coolest resting place and fa
