Felder Replies to Governor Slaton in Red
Hot Speech at Morgan, Calhoun County
Morgan, Ga. —In his speech on Mon
day at Morgan, Calhoun county, Hon.
T. S. Felder, candidate for the senate,
replied to Governor Slaton’s attack on
Hardwick and himself. Mr. Felder
said in part:
In reference to Governor’ Slaton's
proclamation which appeared in yes
terday’s papers I have this to say:
In his original announcement for the
United States senate he submitted his
candidacy to the people of Georgia on
the fact that he was a native Geor
gia* and the statement that his creed
rested in the established principles of
Democracy, coupled with the politic
ian’s unfailing reference to economy in
public affairs and the promotion of
agricultural interests.
It is evident that he has reached ihe
conclusion that he can not ride into
office in this contest on these gen
eralities, and he now adopts, and puts
forward as his own. measures which 1
advocated in my opening speech, de
livered in Perry more than a month
ago, and which I have since been
stressing in many sections of the state.

Get The Habit
In the Perry speech I insisted that
federal judges should be appointed for
a definite period of years instead of
for life; that relief should be given the
farmers of Georgia from prosecutions
in the federal courts lor alleged viola
tions of the peonage statute; and that
the national government should make
appropriations to aid in the improve
ment of the public roads of the state.
These measures the governor now
shys he stands for. I am not sur
prised at the course which our astute
chief executive is pursuing. He keeps
his ear close to the ground, and he has
heard the voice of the people approv
ing my position on these questions. He
believes they are popular. His action
in this instance is fairly illustrative of
his whole political life. Pursuing the
line of least resistance he has always
lacked the courage to take the initia
tive and though he boasts of twenty
years service to the people and says
he is running on a record of "tried fit
ness’’ he can not claim one construc
tive measure of his own.
The governor’s charge that Con-

gressman Hardwick and I are «o
ooperating in an effort to defeat him
is the merest dap-trap and intended
as a plea for sympathy for the un
der-dog. The fact is that Mr. Hard
wick and I were waging an active but
manly contest for the senatorship
several weeks before the governor an
nounced his candidacy, and before it
became known that the Governor had
a string tied to Senator West.
The governor stated at the opening
of his campaign that he would not
make any political speeches or in
dulge in Joint debate for the reason
that it would precipitate a contest of
mud-slinging and billingsgate. Shield
ed, however, by the respect always ac
corded the occupant of the governor’s
chair he begins the slinging of mud
from the governor’s office. I shall
not answer him in kind, for it has
been my deliberate purpose from the
opening of this campaign to conduct
it on a high plane, leaving out per
sonalities and attempting to win this
high office on such merit as I may
possess and not on the weakness of
my adversaries.
It does not make me any better man.
any more capable of filling the office
of United States senator, by showing
my opponents to be unfit. My speeches
throughout the state have been sub
stantially a repetition of my first
speech delivered at Perry which ap
peared in the public press. The gov
ernor’s charge that I have attacked
him from numerous angles is untrue.
I have not made such attacks. His as
sumption that such charges have been
made by me is evidently due to the
fact that he knows himself to be vul
nerable.
Discussing the geographical situa
tion, about which I have said nothing,
the governor wearies us with a eulogy
of his impartiality as a public officer,
and al the same time states how par
tial he has been to the people of South
Georgia in appointing a United States
senator, two judges of the court of
appeals and an attorney general from
this section. This action is not sur
prising at ail to any one who is famil
iar with Governor Slaton’s political
methods. He realizes that he is weak
in South Georgia and that fact ex
plains his partiality to this section.
The governor wants to be senator.
He appointed a temporary administra
tor on the senatorial estate upon the
death of Senator Bacon and now urgres
the fact of such appointment as a rea
son why he should be named as per
manent administrator by the p«v e.
He charges me with oposing a bill
to erect a nfew depot on the state's
property in Atlanta, but failed to tell
you the nature of the bill. The bill
which I opposed proposed to appro
priate funds in the state treasury
which under the Constitution could
not be used for any purpose except the
payment of the bonded debt of the
state. I assisted in the defeat of this
hill because It was In flagrant viola
tion of the Constitution. His charge
that my position was Influenced by
prejudice toward Atlanta Is childish.
He expresses the opinion that I
should not he elected to the senate be
cause I resigned my office during the
dependency of litigation between the
state and certain copper companies
located across the state line in Ten
nessee. This litigation has been pend
ing in one shape or another since 190fi
and I was the third Attorney General
to participate in it. I purposely de
layed my resignation until after the
motion dealing with one phase of the
case had been passed upon by the su
preme court of the United States,
left the suit In good shape for my suc
cessor to carry on. The court did not
overrule the motion as stated by the

governor, but directed that testimony
he taken. The taking of testimony
under the order was not to begin until
the lirst day offline —a month and a
half after my successor was appoint
ed. The propriety of my resignation
as contrasted with the governor's
course in holding one office and exer
cising its [lowers while devoting his
energies to seeking another, I leave for
the people to pass upon.
The governor's proclamation in the
drafting of which during the past two
weeks he lias enjoyed the aide assist
ance of Campaign Managers Newell,
Uhlm and Mrrow Is an unmistakable
indication that things are going badly
with the governor.
