TICKET BY THE PUPULISTS
Continued from Pogo One.
or that man now In the rae», but
whether wo will preserve the trtrgrl-
ty of our party or surrender It lock,
stock and barrel to somebody else. If
we go Into the Democratic primary, we
ought to be sincere about It. and go
In as organised Democrats. If we do
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
his feeling against Tom Watson by re
ferring to him as “your much-vaunted
leader." G. W. Fleetwood, ..f Itome,
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 ail of them fa
vored staying In the ml Idle of the
road, and asked me to stint by t Im
policy here. And 1 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, you are Democrats from
that time.. ThwiraU’ safe thing for the
Populists to do Is to stay organised."
J. A. Bodenhamer. of Dalton, who
acted as secretary of the meeting, said
that he yielded to no man In fealty to
the principles of Populism, and was
rorty to see some spirit of surrender
among a few present. At thl.i some
one shouted:
"Here's an' old boy that has stuck
by the party and will in hell freives
over!”
Who Will Ms Nomnistsd?
Chairman J. J. Holloway and A. J.
Burnett, both of Carroll county, were
named as delegates to attsnd the na
tional conference of the People's Party
In SL Louis 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. .
since Judge Hines has placed himself
beyond the pale of posslblltles aa 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 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 ln 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.”
Ysnesy Carter Talks.
Tancey Carter, of Hartwell, who led
thq 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.
"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 he would 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 the
efnphatlc reply.
"Some Populists 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 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."

est Indignation here against BJoernst

Ibeen, who, after having been honored
In many ways by the kaiser and the
German people, during his recent visit
here, was the principal apealter at an
anti-German meeting held on Danish
soil near the frontier.
BJoernaon declared that while he ad
mired tha German people In some re
spects, he had nothing but contempt
and hatred for the Oerman system of
f ovemment, militarism and oppression.
Is could never feel any friendship for
a nation that systematically tried to
crush the Polish, Danish and French
population In the conquered provinces.
Tha papers here advise the government
to be even more severe In Its treatment
of the Danes In Schlelswlg, where the

"Georgia sets an example to the
whole United States through the fine
work which Is being accomplished In
the League of Municipalities,” said
Mayor Wodward, who returned Thurs
day evening from Augusta, where for
the paat two daya he haa been In
attendance at the fifth annual meet
ing of the league. "I believe that Geor
gia Is the only state In the Bouth that
has such an organisation, and there Is
no doubt that much good lx being ac
complished. This Is ssptclally true of
the smaller munlclpalltes, from 12,000
Inhabitants down.”
Mayor Woodward said that tha
meeting was a great success, and that
no end of Interest was shown. One of
the Important matters acted on by the
league was a movement to stop the
encroachments which It la claimed leg
islature Is making on the smaller
municipalities In the matter of tax. It
Is claimed that the state legislature Is
levying heavy taxes which It takes for
Its own uses, and aside bars city li
censes. Resolutions will ba presented
at the next session of legislature ask
ing that the state body desists from
this, and rectifies many of the licenses
which are now In vogue.
Mayor Woodward proposed a reSolu
tlon along this line which pertained to
the counties. The smaller municipali
ties claimed that many of the counties
were levying taxes on the city en
terprises and absolutely refused tq al
low the cltlee any benefit from the
money. This matter will be taken up
again at the meeting next year to be
held In Athens.
