The Georgian prints Judge McWhor
ter's letter, despite Its lateness, as fol
lows:
"Athens, On., June 18, 1908.—H. J.
Rowe, Athens. Go.—My Dear Mr.
Rowe: I have read your editorial notice
of Hoke Smith's speech In Athens on
Saturday afternoon, In which you refer
to his attack on me nnd others, and
his persistent effort to raise for cam
paign purposea what has been termed
lli" r iml ' nf liitlru.'iil linmln.ilion.
"As I ain a private citizen and not a
candidate for any office, I have re
frained from replying to these unpro
voked attacks for campaign purposes
w hi. h link.' Smith Inis mulling
qpon me with more or less seeming
venom throughout the state.
"My.neighbors and those who know
me are aware of the fact that I have
not participated or taken any active
part In the pending gubernatorial cam
paign, and up to this date I have neith
er Influenced' or sought to Influence
any friend to vote for or against either
candidate.
"In spite of this fact, however, Hoke
Smith, as a part of his campaign
scheme of alleged railroad domination,
has fabricated and exaggerated my
relation with others to It by slanders
and Insinuations, both false and con
temptible.
8mith’s Methods Those of Thug.
'But his references, so far as I am
aware, have always been vague and
Indaflnlte, though false and exagger
ated, that no fitting reply could have
been mads except to have denounced
It as the method of the thug and the
charcter ot an assassin, which no brave
and honorable man would adopt, and
therefore over the protest of my
friends, 1 have remained silent, assum
ing that a sense of decency would ulti
mately restrain him, but In view ot hts
attack on Saturday In the city of my
residence, forbearance ceases to be a
virtue and I feel constrained there
fore, to make the following personal
statement:
"For the pnst eleven years I have
represented the Southern Railway
Company, first os advisory counsel for
Georgia, nnd more recently as assist
ant general counsel for tho entire sys
tem.
"During this time I have appeared
for my client before the courts, the
railroad commission, the comptroller
general boards of arbitration, the leg
islature, municipal corporations, and.
In fact, wherever duty called and Its
rights and Interests were Involved.
“I have represented It openly and
honorably and to the very best of my
ability, and I purpose to continue to do
so as long as the relation of attorney
and client exists.
This Is tny manifest duty, and the
man who deviates and swerves from
his rightful course because of unjust
criticism or Indecent abuse Is false to
duty and will rarely be right.
During this time I have oftsn rep'
resented It before the railroad com'
mission, of which Hon. J. Pope Brown
was sn honored and honorable mem
ber, nnd aa he Is r«
porting Mr. Smith,
llm—or any other members of ths
railroad commission during all these
years—to say if I have not always rep
resented my client before that body
openly, fairly and frankly.
"I have also represented It before
tax arbitration boards, of which Hon.
J. Pope Brown was a member, and I
will let him or any other member of
these boards say If I did not reprssent
Its rights and Interests before that trib
unal frankly and honorably.
Rsprsssntsd Read on Tax Question,
•'I have often represnted It on tax
questions and assessments before
Comptroller General Wright—whose
honor and Integrity no man will Im
peach—and I will leave It to him to say
If I have ever swerved In behalf of my
client from a frank, honorable and open
course. 1
"As other lawyers representing cor
porate or Individual clients, I have
often during this psrlod appeared be
fore legislative committees In referencs
to pending bills affecting my client's
rights and Interests, but no member
of the legislature, however partisan be
Is or prejudiced he may be, or whom
soever he rosy be supporting for gov
ernor, will say that I have ever sought
wrongfully or Improperly to Influence
his judgment or his vote.
“In fact, since I began to represent
the Southern railway I have appeared
for It before every form of tribunal In
this state where its rights and Inter
ests are considered and determined,
and I have always openly, frankly and
honorably, but to the very best of
my ability, undertaken to establish the
fairness and Justice of the views
which I presented In Its behalf.
“My plain professional obligation Is
to represent In good faith the rights
duty calls and In whatsvsr tribunal Its
rights and Interests may be Involved,
and I purpose to continue to do so.
"Hoke Smith Is reported to have said
that the railroad Influence—of which I
am represented as the chief—has elect
ed ths president of the senate and
speaker of the house for the past live
years. Insinuating thereby that such
Influence was constant and Insidious
and was for Improper purposes.
"In the past five year* there have
been two president of the senate, Hon.
W. S. West and Hon. Clark Howell and
two speakers of the house, Hon. John
M. Slaton and Hon. N. A. Morris
"Mr. Slaton and Mr. Howell were
elected without opposition. Mr. Morris
and Mr. West were elected with oppo
sition.
Mad*' No Request of West
"When Mr. West was elected the
candidate^ were Messrs. A. O. Bla
lock, Murphy, Candler, B. 8. Miller and
W. S. West.
"In this contest I did not participate,
nor did I seek to Influence any semitor
to vote for or against either candidate.
"As the candidates themselves are
the most competent and credlatble wit
nesses to IMs fact, and although some
of them are reported to b# supporting
Hoke Smith. 1 will leave It to them or
either of thorn to disavow this stafe-
t If It la not true, or I will leave’lt
After Mr. Morris' election, however,.
I did not request the appointment of I
any member na chairman of any com
mittee or request the assignment of
any member to any committee or re
quest Mr. Morris to do anything else I
In favor of myself, my friends or my
client.
"I have heard that Mr. Mqrrle la sup
porting Hoke Smith for governor, and
he will disaffirm the above statement
It It la not true.
.Contsmptlbl* By-Play.
"In this connection Hoke Smith In
dulges In a contemptible by-play to |
Impuxn my motives In supporting Mr.
Morris, which he knows Is fnlsr.
■'Ho quotes me as saying 'That ths
railroads elected Morris, but did not
declare any dividends on It.' ]
"There Is Just enough truth In this
alleged quotation to make Its hypo
critical proposition more despicable.
"The Incident of the alleged remarks
was Insignificant and occurred as fol
lows: Some time after Mr. Morris'
election, or about four years ago,
went Into the Piedmont for dinner. I
happened there to meet Mr. Morrla and
several of bls.trlends who were Indulg-1
Ing In a friendly conversation. They |
were, as Is usual amo * *
cldentally Joking each
walked up Mr. Morrla had Juat made
some Jocular and rutting remark—as I
now recall It—to Hon. 8. S. Miller, to
which Mr. Miller, In like spirit, replied,
‘that he need not talk so big—that
while he was speaker, the railroads
elected him,’ dr words to that effect,
and as I walked up he turned and re
marked, •What about that!'
"Naturally I replied In the same s
It that, 'If the railroads did elect
they did not declare any dividends on
It.'
Inoldsnt Wtt Jocular.
"This Incident was Jocular and was I
so understood at ths time, and was I
without the slightest reflection either I
In word, thought or Insinuation—oth
erwise It would have been Insulting to I
Mr. Morris. .
It was Just such Jocular badinage I
under the license of Intimate friend- |
ship as occur* every day among Inti
mate friends, and ths effort to pervert |
It to serve a selfish
reflection on anybody,
slllanlmous and despicable.
"If the Jocular remarks of Intimate
friends throughout the state could be I
distorted Into a serious reflection
whenever It served some sinister or I
selfish purpose, then no man In Geor
gia would have any more shred of
character than Hoke Smith seems to
have exhibited In this campaign.
. "Mr. Slaton nnd Mr. Huwell wsre I
elected without opposition, hut I did I
not request either nf them to appoint
any senator or membnr chairman of
any committee or assign any senator
or member to any committee or make
any request of either of them for my
self, my friends or my client, and If this
Is not true, either or both of them can
disavow It.
'I am making thsss broad assertions
and am leaving the truth ot them tot
others, some of whom, I am Informed,
Hoke Hmlth, but who I
honorable men, because
1 am supremely conscious of the recti- I
tude of my conduct and the sincerity of
this statement.
