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> cause I will have n rlean majority the whole convention over all four you (pointing to Sir. Howell), and . simply Invito you, my fellow clttsens, to Join the procession." Mr. Smith concluded with hi* great story. In which the little boy 1st hla tlcally Imp: ot le slbl then this favorite goat go because of the crowd he was In, saying: "I love you, Billy, but I can't stand your company." 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 actually put Into the properties. •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 •lay of several months In Africa, de 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 myself moat Impressed by a realising sense of the appalling amount- of error and cant In which we of the United -States have Indulged on this topic. We have actually wallowed In a bog of self. convention • when Yeomans was j too soon, until they knew I had th»m 'le president or chairman.

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.” LIVES ARE LOST IN BIG STORM!
