EX-SENATOR WATSON WAS
FRIEND TG SENATOR HARRIS
Ex-Governor Slaton, seeing his
certain deteat on September 10th,
has desperately grabbed at every
straw. Last Tuesday, in his speech
at Dallas, he is quoted in the press
as saying: “Practically all of the
leaders of the late Senator Thomas
E. Watson are likewise supporting
me. It will be recalled that Sena¬
tor Watson played a conspicuous
part in helping to put through the
disfranchisement program.”
Of all men in Georgia, ex-Gov
ernor Slaton is the last one to have
brought into this campaign this
reference to the late Senator Wat¬
son When Slaton was in the Leg¬
islature and the proposed disfran¬
chisement of the negro was before
the House, Slaton opposed the
measure to his limit, and finally
voted to reject it. Senator Watson
was then fighting aggressively for
that disfranchisement measure, and
Slaton antagonized Watson to the
last. The House Journal shows that
Slaton voted against this proposed
law. tflaton admits as much in his
attempted explanation of his atti¬
tude. How perfectly ridiculous for
Slaton to pretend that he ever fa¬
vored White Supremacy in Georgia
when he failed to take advantage of
an opportunity to aid in outlawing
the ignorant and vicious negro
from participating in Georgia’s af¬
fairs.
Will Slaton name these alleged
leaders of Senator Watson? He cer¬
tainly knows that not one man in
100 followers of the lafe Senator
Thomas E Watson in Georgia is
now suporting Slaton. On the other
hand, they are actively supporting
me everywhere.
Who has the best opportunity of
Knowing or has the right to say
whether the friends of the late Sen¬
ator Watson are supporting me or
Siaton? Certainly his closest sur¬
viving relatives, his only living
brother and a favorite nephew—
Hon. William A. Watson, of Thom¬
son, and Mr. A- D. Watson, of Lou¬
isville. t have in my possession
j letters from both of them, one
dated July 12th, and the other
j August 6th, 1930. I quote from the
letter of Hon. W. A Watson:
“it gives me pleasure to say that
you can count on my support in the
coming election, and l wish to as¬
sure you that my friendship and
continued loyalty to you will be for
more reasons than one. One rea¬
] son is best that service you have to the given people your of
very
Georgia, and have ever been on
| the further lookout for their for best interests love and
| esteem A for reason you is for my the great
j respect my brother that (Senator you always Watson) showed and to
j also to myself. I am very glad
you did not enter into a joint dis¬
j cussion 'of political matters with
] Mr. Siaton. It has been my expe¬
rience, going back over many years,
j that no good ever resulted from
these joint debates, but often great
. barm has grown out of them.”

The following Is the personal
letter of Mr. A D. Watson.
“Mrs. Watson and 1 have re¬
ceived your campaign literature,
and, while we thank you for the
information contained therein, we
have always supported you, and all
our family connections are for you
Uncle Tom (Senator Thomas E
Watson) was very fond of you the
hurt time he was associated with
you in (he Senate. 1 have been in
several counties and have not heard
a man say he would vote for Sla¬
ton, and no one takes his earnli
dacy seriously ”
Who has the best right to know
the mind of former Senator Wat
son, these closest relatives living or
Candidate Slaton now running for
1 office, presuming to tell the mind
! and preference of the dead Sena
j lor? There has never been a more
! outrageous iusult to the memory
of Thomas E. Watson and iiis real
friends and followers Ilian the ef¬
fort of Mr. Slaton to bring the ex
| Senator Info this campaign, and
now tell the people the mind of
! Senator Watson if he were living
today. This attempt to 'deceive
the people cannot be justified
These sur viving relatives of the late
j Senator know Mr. Watson’s feel¬
ings concerning me and his views
against ex-Governor Slaton. If
anyone wishes to verify ttie mind
of Thomas E. Watson about Gov -
ernor Slaton, let the friends and
followers of the late Senator re¬
view the Jeffersonian and other
Watson publications. Numberless
\ editorials expressing most forcibly
the mind of Mr. Watson will show
clearly his repudiation and denun¬
ciation of the record of Governor
Siaton. These “alleged leaders”
j ; may now be following Slaton, departed but
if so they certainly have
from the ranks of Senator Watson’s
followers, indeed, if Senator Wat¬
son could view this contest for Sen
: ator, he would turn over in his
grave to protest against such mis¬
representations of his mind and
soul concerning John M, Slaton.
The family, relatives and friends
of the late Senator know that my
! relations were most cordial in every
i way with Mr. Watson while we
were collea: ues in the Senate, and
Mr. Watson stated repeatedly to
: his friends and followers “that no
Senator worked harder for the
eorarac • people than Senator Har¬
ris.” Everywhere in every county
the friends of Mr Watson are sup
i porting me practically 100%, and
no amount of attempted deception
by Slaton can induce these patri¬
otic Georgians to vote for him. This
j is tempted a typical deception instance of the of people his at¬ on
many things thatxhe brought into
i this campaign.
If the late Senator Watson were
here today, Mr. Slaton would be in
Europe with his family, it Senator
Watson were still living, Slaton
would not now be a candidate for
any office in Georgia. <

on the movement of population—for men

lines.
In 1929 this Company extended elec¬
tric service to thirty-two Georgia com¬
munities which previously had had no
electric service at all. Three more towns
gained the benefits of full time service
foi the first time. And six, which had
been depending upon small, isolated
plants, were given dependable power.
Thus 41 new Georgia towns were given
power service which would help them
attract industry—which always seeks
dependable electric power as an essen¬
tial of operation.
During 1929 and part of 1928, a total
of 56 new rural power lines were con¬
structed. Others now being built will
soon bring electric service to a total of
3,000 Georgia farm families. A remark,
able advance in a short time, and evi¬
dence that the great problems of making
electricity available to the farms are be¬
ing overcome.
