CLARK HOWELL WRITES OF DEFEAT BY SMITH 3r THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. THriWHAY, AL’OT'RT 23. 13%. 11 Th? Constitution prin'ed Thursday morning an editorial, signed by Clark Howell, In which defeat is admitted, gracefully, perhaps, but with a tincture cf protest. This particularly appears In irtiat Mr. Howell says about Mr. Wat- jon’s part In the campaign. It was as fallows: •Whatever may be the views, the reasoning, or the explanation of others as to the causes leading to the result. tm l the condition It creates, I give mine for what they are worth, and niil) the assurance that, so far as 1 «m concerned. I accept It with com- mjutc and without personal bitterness —with regret, It is true, that my lin- «woning party loyalty has been made !l, e weakest point In my armor as a candidate, anil that for that very’ loy- aliv to my party, I have been made a lacriflce at the hands of those ugalnst vrhnse assaults on. the party I have , tl ,,ul with unflinching zeal and unre mitting determination. In atl these years, t have necessarily made polit ical opponents of those whose antag onism to my party has led ine to an tagonize them. As a loyal Democrat I itail no other course to pursue. "Cnder the leadership of Mr. Wnt- f ,,n tills very large element—not those rvp.j were formerly Fopultsts, but those ,,Ho are now Populists, were brought Into the Democratic primary, moved primarily by the openly avowed pur pose to punish those who have hereto fore stood ugalnst their assaults on tlte partv. and who had no apologies to of fer Nor have they como back as Democrats. Mr. Watson was frank enough to refuse to declare his Inten tion to support the Democratic nom ine? for president two years hence, re serving for himself the right to direct me Democratic nomination In the state primary this year, and then to lead lli«e 0rc ? the party two years S?"5*:. no mnn can blame him If i hl ', ve >T thing, for he has not concealed his right to do so. It is a condition without a.precedent In the politics of this or any other state.” Mr. Howell then defends his public record and his personal views In the matter of the railroads, declaring that . . I '*" nev * r sacrificed the Interest of the people for corporate welfare. He said: "During this whole campaign I have not asked, nor received, one dollar from any railroad on earth and even my ad- veraarles will admit that I have not re- veived the support or encouragement of the head of a single railroad sys tem. Nor was I' entitled to it by virtue of any support I had ever given them In any measure affecting their interests ns against what I believed to be the in terest of the public." Then, reverting to disfranchise he declared Ills belief that the white man will lose his ballot along with the negro. In closing, he said: "Georgia Is ‘good enough for me,’ whoever may be her chief executive. I .have never yet sought the shadow In defeat and It Is too late to begin now. Whatever happens, I,prefer to live In the sunshine of the sentiment so aptly expressed by Stanton: " ‘This old world we're livin' In Is mighty hard to beat; We get a thorn with every rose, But—ain’t the roses sweet!’ "Defeat Is the thorn today, but I would not exchange It for the friend* ships that have been so generously manifested In this campaign. They are the roses that make defeat easy!” CKambsrlin-JoHnson-DuBose Company. Chamberlih-Johnson-DuBos? Company.
