CARSWELL DEFENDS CLARK HOWF.l.I. AGAINST ATTACK OF TOM WATSON To ho Editor of The Gcoralan: j, A ■' rdlnc to promlM written you toDit week* eince In reply to your In vitation to express my view*, through the rojumns of The Oeorclon, I Will DOW try to answer the article of Hon. Thomas E. Watson, which Appeared In > ur paper dated May 24. Pressing bua- iness and other obligations have pre vented my writing this sooner. _ As to Mr. Watson** complimentary remark* about Mr. droves In the first I'vo paragraphs, I have no complaint- to (ink*. I am glad he has found at least one Democrat In Georgia who does not ti-ions- to Wall street. A ToMr. Watson's reference to Judge Parh.-r I also agree. But how came this *Vt>lr1tleea pettifogger" to be conald- eied by the Democratic party, anyway? Was It not after two unsuccessful at tempts to elect Mr. Bryan? And was the Mr. Watson partly responsible for tli ise defeats? I think so. I think if M i. Watson had come down In favor of tie regular Democratic nominee for vh i- president and had thrown his v hole soul and strength to the support or Bryan and Ben-all they might have b»-en elected. But Mr. Watson claims that he did support Bryan In 1899. ir I,,- did, how was It that Mi-Duffle county went for McKinley by a big majority? And how woe It that Co lumbia and other counties, where Wat- »on*a Influence controlled, went for Me. Kiuley. The Oreateet.of all Reform- era once aald: “By their fruits ye shall know them.” It seems that Mr. Wat son helped Mr. Bryan by helping to I-an y aa many countlee as possible for M. Klnley. This being true, I consider Mr Watson partly responsible for Par- kri’s nomination. Parker would never have been considered If Bryan had been elected. A man like Bryan would bave succeeded Bryan as preeldent. ;..As 1 understand It, Mr. Watson’s rea- eon for quitting the .Democratic party ova* i hut he considered It eo corrupt It could not be reformed. And yet It was reformed In 1M», and he can't deny It. Tti<-n why did not Mr. Watson return in it and acknowledge that he was mta rn Won when he eald It could not be re formed? It strikes me that would have been the patriotic way of doing. In st. 1.1 of returning to the party, Mr. Win-on accuses It of stealing. He actu al^ -edna to regret that the party was reformed In 1899, and claims that the Democrats stole the Populist's ptat- form. If Mr. Watson thinks that such conduct as that was a mark of patriot ism on bla part, I beg to differ with him. Mr. Watson claims Shat hie support •f I toko Smith In the present contest I- -hollar to his support of Hearst In 19M. He says nobody questioned his sincerity or Ills motive when he sup ported Hearst. hut that because of hie sin-port of smith the battsrlee of abuse are trained upon him. I fall to see 5 ‘fly similarity In the two contests. Mr. leant was and la a real reformer, but tkm so With Mr. Hnke .Smith. Mr. Wat son recently wrote: "No matter what ll,,ke has done or esld tn the past, he te fl*h:ink our light now, and we must held Up his hands." This shows that 31 - Watson Is randy to admit that Mr. Binlth’s record Is bad. "No matter wh.it he has done or said!" I think It dm* matter. If It does not matter, then why consider a man's record at fill when he aspires for otflea. Why nut take the flret man that happens hio,,k- with a loud proclamation of re- f,*i m. even though he may be an **• cai>ed convict? . Mr. Watson says: "Having been fui Brown on principle, I went to the Support'of Hoke Smith on principle— the platform of the one being that of the other." He says: "While I deeply resented the speech which Hoke Smith kn.< reported to have made In Augus ta, I should support him for governor beaiiH of the principles he advocated." . Now, as 1 understand It, the three fending planks of the above platform . i. Smashing the Wall street ring. " f. Negro disfranchisement. . .1. Regulation of railroad rates. ’ liut Mr. Pope Brown was opposed to negro disfranchisement. Mr. Wateon virtually admits that when he says: “Pope Brown shied at the disfranchise- ment plank.” So, It seems, Mr. Wat son waa In error when he aald above: “The platform of the one being that ot the other." Now, because Mr. Watson fatted to state the exact truth In this, It would be too hard on him to say that he has a “putrid Imagination, whera llea.are bred faster than stagnant water breeds mosquitos." And yet that Is the way Mr. Watson speaks of Mr. Howell. Mr. Watson Intimates that the Popu lists have a right to vote In the Dem ocrntlc primary, regardless of the pledge printed nn the ticket. Now, are we left to Infer from this that If Mr. Howell were only telling ties for Mr. Watson's bentflt, he would have Mr. Watson's hearty approval? But let ue consider that platform. First, I will consider the plank No. l. Bmaahlng of the corrupt corporation or Wall street ring. Now, what Is this Wall street ring which Mr. Watson says the people of Georgia are “hell bent'' on smashing? We learn from the article to which I am now replying that It Is the state Democratic execu tive committee. And what la the state Democratic executive committee but the embodiment of organised Democ racy In Georgia? Bo It seema that Mr. Hoke Hmlth's platform calls for the destruction of the Democratic party in Georgia. Did any one ever before hear of a man working for the destruc tion of the party whosa nomination he le seeking? Mr. Watson dentes this In what he styles falsehood number live, but I must miy If his platform doea not mean that, I nm unable to tell what It does mean. Mr. Watson speaks ot the state executive committee dreading the Independent white voter, etc. Then he suppose a case and discusses whether ur not the Populists ought to disre gard the conditions printed on the tick et. Then he eaye: "What does the Walt street ring say about It? Wilt It drive mb away from the polls because 1 refute to be blind-folded?" It le use less for Mr. Watson to deny that he here refers to the state Democratic executive committee. To smash the stato Democratic executive committee Is to smash the Democratic party as an organisation In Georgia. It the (le- structlon of the Democratic party le not thought of or not Intended, then why does Mr. Wateou publish letters which apeak of the "new party?" In the June number of Watkon's Magazine T. J. Tllcher writes from Kllsvllle, as, say ing: "I agree with C. O. DeFrance— call the new party Radical." What new party Is this? I suppose It must be the new party that Mr. Watson Is to form after he smashes tht Democratic C rty In Georgia. Or perhaps It would mors correct to eay the party that le to be formed by Messrs. Hoke Smith and Watson. As to Mr. (’lark Howell’s being In the ring (so-called) that rules Georgia po litically, It strikes me that It there le uny such ring tn Georgia Mr. Howell certainly has a right to be In It. The Democratic party of the Uuntted Btatea appointed Mr. Clark Howell as Its na tional committeeman for Georgia, and as such h* should keep up with what Is going on polltlcaly If he has to "Jlne" the ring to do It. And, after all, auppos son and Hoke Smith succeed In smash ing 1 he ring Is there any evidence to show that they would give ue Bir thing better In Its place? Suppose) Smith succeeds In displacing Mr. How ell, would not ha really-coma nearer representing Watt street Interests than Mr. Howell now does? I think eo. We have never heard of Mr. Howell ob taining through the agency ot the preeldent of the Southern railroad a forty or fifty thousand dollar loan from J. Iflerpont Morgan. And yet Mr. Smith admits that he dtd receive such a loan and gave as collateral the stock of ht* paper, when at the time he swore the tax value of hie paper to be only *2o.h0o, and he pi - ar ‘ thirds or three-fourth owned as security. Mr. Smith' "Greater Georgia Banquet" speech In Atlanta wherein he thanked the presi dent of the Southern railroad "for hav ing done so much to purify the politics of the state" showed how Mr. Smith really stands with the Sam Spencer- Wall street crowd. „ ■I now pose to ptsnk No. 2—Negro Dlifrsnchlsement.

I wonder If he think* he deserves such credit now? If Mr. Watson can find one white men In Georgia besides himself who Is afraid of negro domination un der the present primary plan I would like to know who he le. Mr. Wateon eaye: "If the principle of the white primary be right, why would it taw to that effect bo wrong?" Simply because It would Be against the cyinsttiutlon of the United States, If the national constitution could tn changed to admit of it, I suppose ev ery white man In Georgia would be In favor of negro disfranchisement. Even If a law could be passed that would stand the test of a decision of the su preme oourt, It would be folly to cause any suspicion where there Is no neces sity for It. The rase Is different In Mississippi and South Carolina In those elates the negrooa are In the majority und there Is a real necessity for some such dovlco, but In Georgia tho whites are In the majority and no such necessity exists A bill has been pending for years to reduce Southern representation In congress on the ground that tho negro has been de prlved of bis vole. For aoms cause oi other that bill has failed to become n law. Who knows but that Its author la simply waiting for Georgia and oth er Bouthem states to pais such law* as would make them subject to such reduction? In Watson's Maritime for June Mr. Wateon said: "It did not make a par ticle of difference whether our repre sentation In congress were less than It le now or not." Thle being Mr. Wat* son's notion It la not strange that he favors negro disfranchisement In Geor gia eo that the Crumpacker hill will apply lo our atatt as well a* other Southern elates. Mr. Watson says: ■'Clark Howell and his brethren of fht committee sacrificed Bryan In 182*. I suppose he means by this that they failed to get Mr. Watson’s support by falling lo put Mr. Wateon on their ticket with Bryan. It was not that they failed to adopt the kind of platform. It was not that . filled le nominate the right kind of man for preeldent. Mr. Watson now speaks of principles, blows about tin Wall street rings and leaves us to In fer that he was In favor of securing real reforms And yet we find that In 11(1 these matters were lost sight of In ths. fact that the Democrats failed to put him on their tick selfishness personified? Mr. Watson, I suppose, claims that the Democrats promised that they would put him on their ticket and failed to do It. Wat eon may claim thla amf the Democrats may deny It, but what difference should that have made with a patriot, anyway? Suppose they dtd promise that and failed to do It, did that Justi fy Mr. Watson In helping lo elect Mc Kinley? Because somebody else does wrong le no reason that I should fall lo do my duty. Mr. Walton makes a great ado about Clark Uowwell’a al lowing the articles of Theodore Price to be printed In The Constitution a* advertisements. And yet In Watson's Msgaslne for March he eaye: "Hoke Smith's position as a candidate for governor le one thing; hie position as attorney In law cases le another." He thinks It was all right for Hoke Smith to sell his powers of logic and per suasion tn tna railroads, thus helping them to violate our constitution by "a Joint ownership of competing lines thus establishing the monopoTy which the constitution forbids" It makes no difference with Mr. Wateon that The Atlanta Journal, Mr. 8mtth'a organ, tried to get these some advertisements but failed, is not this a clear case of straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel? Theodore Price finally chang ed over lo the bull side of the cotton market, ami It Is to be doubted wheth er those letters really did much harm after all. On the other hand, Mr. Smith and 31 r. Watson both are very loud In proclaiming to us the evils that have resulted from Ur. Smith’s plead ings. I have thus attempted to defend Mr. Clark Howell because I really think be la a good man. 1 think Mr. Watson's fioua —-*- - ‘ malleh attack on him Inspired solely by the deep-seeled hatred that Watson has for the Democratic party. As Hoke Smith was really an enemy of the Democratic party from the time he went with Cleveland In 11*2 till Parker Was nominated, and still hates the principles of true Democracy, It seems that he and Watson have com* for the Democratic party. Though they have been fighting one another politically for years. It aeeme that their mutual hatred for the Democratic par ty has brought them together. As I understand it, the railroad plank of the Wateon-Smlth platform Is good Democratic doctrine. But how Is It that Mr. Smith has only Just now decided to help eecure this reform? Both the national Democratic Plat forms of 1896 and 1900 had this prin ciple Incorporated In them. Mr. I'lttrk Howell with hla paper led tho fight for the reform measures Hint were adopted Into those platforms. Shoulder to shoulder W. J. Bryan and Clark Howell stormed the citadels of the enemies of reform. And where waa Hoke Smith at that lime? Ho was ono of the ensmy that they hail to tight. I neither believe that Mr. Hoke Smith has suddenly become n grant reforntor nor do I believe Clark Howell has suddenly become a bad man. And It Is hard for me to decide that Tom Watson believes any such stuff either. Respectfully, F. W. CARSWELL. Hephxlbah. Ga, June 28, 1971.
