that It means the everlasting death of

am not concerned about how many
votes we may poll.'but I want to stand
by our principles."
Peeling Against Watson.
More than once Mr. Carter showed
his feeling against Tom Watson by-re
ferring to him as "your much-vaunted
leader." O. W. Fleetwood, uf Iiome,
advocated a full state ticket.
J. H. Parrish, of Sylvester, commit
teeman from the Second district, mado
a red-hot speech for Populism.
"Before I left home I talked with my
people at length and all of them fa
vored staying In the ml Idle of the
road, and asked me to stick by tha<
policy here. And I am gMng to do It.
In my Judgment, we have never had
a better clangs, to..elect our governor
than now. - If yoU go into the Do-n.,-
cratlc primary you are Democrats from
mat time- . The only sate thing for the
Populists to do'Jsf to slay organised."
J. A. Bodenhamer. of Dalton, who
setUha secretary of the meeting, said
that he yielded to.no man In fealty t">
the principle* of'Populism, And was
sorry to see some spirit of surrender
among a few present. At thin some
one Shouted:
"Here's an old boy that has stuck
by the party and will t'll hell freivcs
over!" 1
Who Will Me Nomnialedf
Chairman J. J. Holloway and A, .J.
Burnett, both of Carroll county, were
named na delegates to attend the na
tional conference of the People'* Party
In St. Louis on June 27.
In Hie 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.
Since Judge Hines has placed himself
heyond the pale of posslblltles as Pop
ulist -gubernatorial timber, the ques
tion arises upon whom will fall the task
of leading the forlorn hope? Certain
ly not Tom Watson, because he has
come out In advocacy of Hoke Smith.
Judge Hints' View.
"Even If the Poputlsta succeed In
getting a state convention In Atlanta
on July 4, that convention will be'over-
whelmlngly 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
bed been here that no state ticket
would have been decided on. But sev
eral of the regular committeemen gave
oxles to others, and these pulled the
lance In favor of the action there
yesterday.
"But even minting that the conven
tion should place a candidate for gov
ernor and a full state house ticket In
the Held, 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 »mall percent
age of that number."
Yancey. Captor Talks, i,
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 Held,
"Who will be the nominee for gover
nor?” was asked.
“I 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 be would get a vote
that would surprise some of these folks
now trying to discredit the Idea."
"Would you stand for the nomln*.
tlonr
Under no circumstances,” was the
emphatic reply.
"Some Populist* In the state are
pledged to Hoke Smith," he continued.
"But there are thousands of the faith
ful who will vote the ticket, and you
need not doubt that. I believe In stand
ing by principles rather than party.
The Democrats have mode It Impossi
ble for any real Populists to vote In
their primary, b/ 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."
