TICKET BY THE PUPULISTS
Continued from Pago One.
or that, man now In the rach but
whether we will preserve the Irtrgri-
ty of our party' or surrender It lock,
stock and barrel to somebody else. If
we jto Into the Democratic primary, we
organised Democrats. If w
that It means the everlasting death of
the Populist party. As for myself, I
am not concerned about how many
votes we may poll, but I want to stand
by our principles."
Feeling Against Watson.
More than once Mr. Carter showed
hl.s feeling against Tom Watson by re
ferring to him as "your much-vaunted
leader." Q. W. Fleetwood, of Home,
advocated a full state ticket.
J. H. Parrish, of Sylvester, commit
teeman from the Second district, rnnilo
a red-hot speech for Populism.
“Before 1 left home I talked with my
people at length and ail of them fa
vored staying In the ml Idle of the
road, and asked me to stick by tha»
policy here. And I am going to do It.
In my judgment, we .have never had
a better chance to elect our governor
than now. If you go Into the Demo
cratic primary yog are Democrats from
mat time; Tim tfniy safe thing for the
Populists to do le to stay organised.'*
Bodenhamer, of Dalton, who
that he yielded to ho man
the principles of Populism, and was
sorry to see some eplrlt of sui render
among a few present. At thin some
ene shouted:
"Here 1 * an old boy that has stuck
by the party and will t'll hell freircs
over!’*
Who Wilt Me Nomniated?
chairman J. J. Holloway and A. J.
Burnett, both of Carroll county, were
named ae delegates to attend the na
tional conference of «he People*! Party
In St. Louie on June 27.
In the meeting Thursday only three
men advocated not putting out a state
ticket, and of these General Phillips
was the only one to state that he would
not be bound by the action of the com
mittee.
SincaJudge Hlnea has placed himself
beyond the pale of posslblltlea os Pop
ulist gubernatorial timber, the ques
tion arises upon whom will fall the task
of leading the forlorn hope? Certain
ly not Tom Wataon, because he has
come out In advocacy of Hoke' Smith.
Judge ‘Hines' View.
“Even If the Populists succeed In
getting a state convention In Atlanta
on July 4, that convention will be over
whelmingly against putting out a state
ticket" That Is Judge J. K. Hines'
opinion of the action of the state ex
ecutive commltee In Atlanta Thursday.
Continuing, he said:
"I have said and still say that If the
regular Populist executive committee
had been here that no state ticket
would have been decided on. But sev
eral of the regular committeemen gave
proxies to others, and these pulled the
balance In favor of the action there
yesterday.
"But even granting that the conven
tion should place a candidate for gov
ernor and a full state house ticket In
the field, It will amount to little, be
cause few Populists would vote the,
ticket. When Watson was a candidate
for the presidency Georgia Populists
polled 22,000 votes. A Populist ticket
would now poll a very small percent
age of that number."
Yancey Carter Talks.
Yancey Carter, of Hartwell, who led
the fight In .the executive committee
meeting for a straight Populist ticket,
said Friday morning that the conven
tion would be held and that a full
ticket would be placed In the field.
"Who will be the nominee for gover
nor?” was asked.
T haven’t the slightest Idea. I favor
some vigorous young man who will
assert the principles of the party. And
I say to you that he wou|d get a vote
that would surprise some of these folks
now trying to discredit the Idea."
“Would you stand for the nomina
tion?”
Under no circumstances," was ths
emphatic reply.
“Some Populists In the state are
pledged to Hoke Smith,” he continued.
“But there are thousands of the faith
ful who will vete the ticket, and you
need not doubt that. I believe in stand
ing by principles rather than party.
The Democrats have made It Impossi
ble for any real Populists to vote In
their primary, by forcing upon him a
pledge that he Is to be for all time a
Democrat. I would vote for no party
that would force that kind of a pro
vision. Principles stand, but parties
swerve from principles."

Berlin, June 15.—There I* the great
est Indignation here agglnst BJoernst-
Jerne BJoemson, the famous Norwegian
author and friend of the late Henrik
Ibsen, who, after having been honored
In many way* by the kalssr and th*
German people, during his recent visit
here, was the principal speaker at an
anti-German meeting held on Danish
soli near the frontier.
Bjoemaon declared that while he ad
mired the German people In some re
spects, he had nothing but contempt
and hatred for the German syatem of
E ivemment, militarism and oppression.
e could never feel any friendship for
a nation that systematically tried to
crush th* polish, Danish and French
population In the conquered provinces.
The paper* here advise the government
to be even more sever* In Its treatment
of the Danes In Schlelswlg, where the
press has applauded the uterance* of
BJoernson.
“Georgia sets an example to the
whole United States through the fine
work which le being accomplished In
the Leaguo of Municipalities,” said
Mayor Wodward, who returned Thurs
day evening from Augusta, where for
the past two days he has been In
attendance at the fifth annual meet
ing of the league. ”1 believe that Geor
gia Is the only state In the South that
has such sn organisation, and there Is
no doubt that much good Is being ac
complished. tThls Is especially true of
the emaller munlclpalltes, from 16,000
Inhabitants down.”
Mayor Woodward aald that ths
meeting was a great success, and that
no end of Interest waa shown. On* of
the Important matter* acted on by ths
lengue was a movement to stop the
encroachments which It Is claimed leg
islature Is making on the smaller
municipalities In the matter of tax. It
Is claimed that (he state legislature Is
levying heavy taxes which It takes for
Its own uses, and aside bars city li
censes. Resolutions will be presented
at the next session of legislature aak
Ing that the state body deslats from
this, and rectifies many of the licenses
which are now In vogue.
Mayor Woodward proposed a resolu
(Ion along this line which pertained to
the counties. The smaller municipali
ties claimed that many of the oountlss
were levying (axes on the city en
terprises and absolutely refused to al
low the cities any benefit from the
money. Thla matter will be taken up
again at the meeting next year to be
held In Athene,
