WATSON GAVE PLEDGE ON DISFRANCHISEMENT; SAYS HE WILL KEEP IT Opposes the Indepen dent Action of Pop ulists in Georgia. CALLOWAY IB HONEST BUT HAS MADE MISTAKE Hoke 8mith’i Platform Conforms to Pledge Watson Publicly Made in 1904. Sperlsl to The Georgian. Thompson, Ga., June 20,—Tour cor respondent, having read the call of Chairman Holloway for the Populist convention, this morning called on Hon. Thomas E. Watson and asked him flntly two questions: 1. What, do you think of It? i 2. Wftat are you and your friends going to do about It? Mr. Watson, without hesitation, ■aid: “After consultation with Holloway, HlneS, Sibley, McGregor and other Populist leaders, 1 pledged the sup- ; >ort of myself and party to the dle- ranchleement Issue on the night of September 1, 1904, In a great public meeting In the State capttol In Atlan ta. Hon. John Temple Graves was >resent, and knew how that pledge was ndorsed. Not a dissenting voice did I ever hear until McGregor made his break, late In 1905. . “I made, the pledge In good faith, and will keep It. I will expect all Populists who then Indorsed, me to stand by me. "Hoke Smith’s platform come* up to conditions of my pledge, and Hoke Smith will have my support, In accord ance with my pledge, f will appeal to all true Populist* to sustain me In this. “Chairman Holloway Is a good, hon est man, but has made a mistake. Hlx action will no! change my cmm-c at all. The convention he has called will not represent the Populists nor bind them, for the reason that there la no oxlatlng county erganiratlon in a ma jority of the counties of the state, and. hence no legal way to aeleet delegates. 'The most active workers for the convention were: John Full wood, who a a Republican pnd holds nn nflloe un der Roosevelt as postmaster of. Cedar- town, and Yanoey Carter, long a Re publican deputy marshal under A. E. Buck, then a Populist, who was de nounced by me In The People’s Party Paper for hla shameful void against the antl-Berroom bill ' after he Had been elected to the state senate on that Issue with my active help; and who formally re-entered the Democratic party, ran for the legislature In Hart county aa a Democrat and was beaten. He did not support me In 1904, nor did Fullwood. Tet these are the men now steering, the Populist campaign! "I ahnll recognise that these men are agents of the Howell-MCWhorter railroad ring, and that their object In putting out a ticket la to pull off votes rnm Hoke Smith. With all the power that la In me. I will denounce this foul scheme, and I will repudiate the right of such a con vention aa they have called to bind the Populists of Georgia. “1 will probably make one speech, ■ome night In July, In Atlanta. Thla will depend, of course, upon the wlahes of those whose preference In the mat ter must be considered. "But so help me Ood I will religious ly adhere to the express and Implied obligations that rest upon me In the campaign, regardleaa of consequences to myself.” Mr. Watson spoke with great earn estness and with an evidence of much feeling In the matter. He la much im proved In health and la undoubtedly In great ahape to give account of himself In a public speech.
