F. W. 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.

sary to disfranchise the negro "to In
sure the state against negro domlnu
tlon." He speaks of everybody giving
him credit In 1*04 for being sincere
when he supported Hearst. 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.
