TWO
HARDWICK REPLIES IN RED HOT CARD
TO SLATON’S ATTACK IN NEWSPAPER
Congressman L W. Hardwick in a Recent Statement Given
to the Press Replies Warmly to the Attacks of Gov. Slaton
Washington, D. C. —"Mr Alston in
sinuate* that because I have only two
committee assignment* In the house,
after year* of service, that I hi*, In it
self, Is proof that my standing In that
bo fly Is not high. Mr. Slaton'* stand
ard for Judging the value of commit
tee assignments aeem* to he neither
high nor accurate.. In the legislature
of our state, when he was speaker and
president of the senate, the smooth
personal politics that he constantly
sought to play with all members of
any consequence, may have led him
to appoint almost every member to a
large number of committees. This may
have been gratifying to the personal
prtds of the member* and consequent
ly an asset of importance to an am
bitious presiding officer. That sys
tem, however, doe* not make for ef
ficiency In committee work, and Is not
the one we follow In the House of
Representatives. Here wo give a man
only such committee* as he can ac
tually and regularly work upon, and
more often than not, only one com
mittee assignment. For Instance, but
two of my colleague* from Georgia
rank with me In length of service.
They are Judge Bartlett and Judge
Adamson. Judge Bartlett serves fin
hut one committee, Appropriations,
and Judge Ad&rnson on hut one com
mittee, Interstate and Foreign Com
merce. Mr. Blaton Insinuated also that
even the two committees I serve on
are not of Importance. Is that fair?
I atn the second Democrat on the Com
snltpo on Rules. Hoes Mr. Blaton
rank the Committee on Rules In the
House o: Representatives of our legis
lature as unimportant? Well, here It
Is Important. It Is ths great political
and steering committee of the house,
Invested with large powers and heavy
responsibilities. It determines what
bills the house Is to consider. Does
ho esteem the Coinage Committee of
the house as of no Importance? Well,
ths last Georgian, before myself, who
ever presided over It was Hon. Alex
ander H. Stephens, and my last Demo
cratic predecessor, an chairman, was
Hon. Richard I*. Bland, of Missouri.
Mr Blaton also neglected to state,
through Inadvertence of course, that
when the Democrats captured the
house In the election of 1910, for the
first time In sixteen years, and un
dertook to organize two great special
committees to Investigate the Steel
nnd Sugar Industries I was selected to
head the Committee on Sugar, being
the only member of the house who
was chairman of two committees dur
ing the Sixty-first Congress. But Mr.
Slatoh insists, that I have been the
author of no Important legislation!
J,#t him Inform the public what great
measures In Georgia hear his name
and acknowledges his authorship?
Still. I will ask If Mr. Slaton never
heard of the long fight for free sugar
and of my connection with It. By
that one light 1 have at least helped
to remove from a great necessity of
Ufa a tax that has cost ths consum
ers of this country more than two
thousand million dollars sines 1897.
Did he ever hear of the long and con
tinued fight that I helped make on
Cannon and Cannonlsm? and of the
part I played In reforming the rules
of the house so as to redeem the
pledges of the party to ths country
In this matter?
Hou** Record.
Doe* he not know that I w*s the
author of the proposal to put (he tele
phone and telegraph and Pullman
companies engaged In inter-slate busl
|ies*. under the Jurisdiction of th«
Federal Railroad Commission? Mr.
Blaton attempt* to prove that I am
either Insincere or without Influence
in the house because during all the
years of my membership there I have
been unable to get my proposal to re
peal the fifteenth amendment reported
out by the committee and acted on
by the house During all these seme
year*. Mr. Underwood of Alabama, has
Introduced, one Congress aft*r an
other. precisely the same resolution.
He also has been unable to get this
proposition reported out and acted on
by the house. Consequently, accord
ing to Mr. Blaton, Mr. Underwood, as
well a* myself, must be without Influ
ence or position or Handing In the
house.
Hie pitiful attempt to make belated
capital out of my vote to Increase the
Congressional salary ts simply thresh
ing out old straw That Is one vote J
am proud of and upon which I am
willing to stand. Ido not believe In

have submitted It In one of the hot
test contests the Rtate ever witnessed,
to one great district In this state and
my position was overwhelmingly en
dorsed. lam willing to submit it to
the entire state, to all twelve districts,
nnd since Mr. Blaton chooses to take
the side that the demagogue usually
Iskes In matters of thla kind, I am
glad he doe* so.
The Atlanta Dapot Bill.
I will not answer at much length Mr.
Blaton'a fling at me about the ao-
depot hill In the legislature of
Georgia. Mr. Hall of Bibb, ha* al
ready answered him completely on thla
question. I did not support thla bill
and have never regretted my failure
to do *o. I did not vote for It be
cauae, as I viewed It, I had no right
under the Constitution of my state,
and under my oath, to support It to
appropriate the elnklng fund of the
stale to build a depot for the railroads,
and besides I thought the railroads
ought to build their own depot and
that tho state of Georgia ought not to
build It for them. My view of the
constitutional question was subse
quently sustained by the supreme
court of Georgia. When Governor
Blaton seeks to ascribe to me a nar
row prejudice against Atlanta as the
motive that prompted my action In
this matter he passes beyond all
bound* I do not think he believe*
It himself. I have never In my life
failed to support Atlanta In every
worthy undertaking. I recall only re
cently that I earnestly endorsed and
actually worked for Atlanta as one of
the cities in which a regional bank
should he located because. I knew At
lanta was the only Georgia city that
had a chance, and did so at a time
when Governor Slaton could not he
Induced to aay more than that he fav
ored some Georgia city. I could with
much more propriety than Governor
Blaton question motive*, for It Is an
undeniable fact thnt the value of cer
tain large property holdings of mem
bers of hi* family, notably the Kim
ball House, would have been greatly
enhanced If the depot bill had passed
and l!*? new station had been located
on the site of the old one.
At to Negro Diefranchieemont.
Mr. Sluton, In his enrd, sees some
evidence of weakness on my part. In
that when I first Introduced the negro
disfranchisement bIH In the Georgia
legislature, in 1899, it received only
three votes He does not aeem to
realize that a pioneer, who blazed the
way, even In legislation, usually loses
at first ami he sees no elements of
strength In me because of the perse
vering fight that I marie through nine
long years, and which finally culmi
nated In glorious and complete euccesg
In 19ns, both In the legislature and at
the polls.
*' r - f ttton w »* *n the legislature In
when this bill was introduced. Ho
voted against It then. He voted agalnet
tln Rill Possibly hi* opposition
him srWnethlng to do with the fact that
It only got a small vote. If *o, let
him accept tho responsibility. I readily
accept the Issue he raises. I stood
then, and have always stood for negro
disfranchisement and white supre
macy. lie stood then, and ha* alwaya
stood, opposed to the former and there
fore unwilling to lake the necessary
step to Insure and safeguard the lat
ter.
Nor hns bis disinclination to get rid
of the negro hs a voter and office
holder ended there. As recently as
September, 1913. while Mr. Bolling H.
Jones, ihe new Democratic postmaster
at Atlanta, was endeavoring to rid the
postal service there or a number of
negroes who held responsible places
there, for which they drew fat sala
ries, tn order to substitute for them
Worthy and efficient white men, his
efforts to accomplish this were strenu
ously fought by a firm of Atlanta at
tornoys who fought these removals
llrst before the Atlanta postmaster,
and afterwards appealed the case to
the I'ostofflce department In Wash
ington. Presumably these attorneys
were paid In part by these Atlanta
negroes and In part by a certain "So
ciety for the Securing of Equal Poll
tleal Bights for Colored Men" In Chi
cago, as that concern seems also to
have hosted Itself about thsss re
movals. What waa the name of the
firm of Atlanta lawyers? Rosser,
Brandon, Slaton and Philllpa. If Mr.
Slaton denies It, I am prepared to cite
cases and give details If he admit*
hut asserts that he had not knowledge
of It and nothing to do with It, then
my rejoinder la that hla partners used
his name with full right and authority
to do so. Furthermore, I insist that
when Mr Slaton assisted In forming
the law firm of Rosser. Brandon, Sla
ton arid Phillips, after Ids nomination
and election aa governor of Georgia,
and only a short time i rlor to hla In
auguration, he committed a manifest
Impropriety that no governor of Oeor
:la from Oglethorpe'* day to hla, ever
committed before. it Is manifestly
Improper that the governor of a state
should he g partner In any law firm
engaged in the active practice of law
before the courts of tAe slate over
whoso destinies he Is presiding. If
ho does ao. what a temptation la pre
sented to every person In the atate
charged with the commission of crime
to engage that law firm, on the Idea
that after he has exhausted the pro
esses of the courts, he may atlll pre
sent his appeal for pardon or execu
tive clemency to a governor who la
nominally at least one his own taw-
Vrrs. of course, an honest governor,
as I hope and believe Governor Sla
ton, to tie. might lean hackward
uSUjnst hla quasi- client, tn his effort
to avoid being partial to bint Still
It la a regrettable and Intolerable po
sltlon. and the fact that Governor
islalon has put himself In It, seems to
strongly Indicate that he lacks bal-
I liner, discretion, and Judgment, that
are such necessary qualification* both
for a governor and a senator.
The Governor's Law Firm,
Again, when Rosser. Brandon, Sla
ton and Phillips take oeees of tht*
kind, to proteat against the removal
of negro office-holders, it can hardly
be said that It is law. strictly speak
ing. that they or* practicing. U res
me AUUUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
qulred no knowledge of common or
statute law or of the decisions to
write these letters. It Is Influence
they sought to practice. Political pull
that they sought to exert.
What gave the firm of Rosser, Bran
don, Blaton and Phillips Its political
prestige and lnfulence? The name of
John M Blaton whom the white Demo
crats of Georgia nominated and elect
ed governor and who farm-let his
name, while governor, to a firm of At
lanta attorneys who did not hesitate
to use that name to try to keep negro
Republicans In the Atlanta postoffice
and white Democrats out. I know
where Governor Slaton stood on the
negro question In 1899, In 1901, in 1907,
when he either opposed or failed to
support disfranchisement. I also knew
where he stood In 1913. Where he
stands today I cannot tell.
I do not think that residence alone
ought to be a great factor In the elec
tion of our senator*. There are many
other considerations of vastly more
Importance. I have always said so.
But, If other things are equal, then
both of our senators ought not to come
from Atlanta, and I do not bellevg, the
Democrat* of Georgia are going to se
lect them both from Atlanta this year.
In 1911 when Governor Smith was
elected to the senate, to fill Senator
Clay’s unexpired term, his own state
senator, Hon John M. Slaton, did not
support him, because he asserted that
when a man was elected governor of
Georgia he made a solemn contract
with the people to serve them in that
capacity for two years, and he ought
to be required to live up to his con
tract. The same doctrine applies to
Mr. Blaton now. He cannot escape its
force by any little pleasantry about
asking the dear people to "amend the
contract.” He made the contract —to
serve them two years as governor—
and unless nil signs are wrong he
will not only be permitted, but forced
to keep It—and serve two years as
governor.

SIDELIGHTS ON MEXICO
How Urroita’s Influence Grew Less and Less Until He
Was Forced to Flee Disguised as a Common Laborer
From the City of Mexico to Vera Cruz.
(By a Veteran.)
Washington.—When Minister Sua
rez of Chili, one of the A. B. C. medi
ators at Niagara Falls, discussed the
advisability of a commission of Junta
to rule distracted Mexico, he spoke
with the knowledge of one who has
seen such a governing body lead a
nation out of the revolutionary wild
erness.
Chill was under the control of a
three-headed junta In 1891 and since
that date the country has been peace
ful and prosperous.
The chief difference between the
Junta proposed at the Falls and Chill's
commission was In mode of appoint
ment. It was proposed by the pres
ent mediators that the two warring
factions In Mexico each appoint a
member of the Junta and the A. B. C.
mediators the third. Chill's Junta was
appointed by the revolutionary heads.
The members of* the Chilean "Junta
de Goblerno” were Jorge Montt, who
had been a Chilean navy captain;
Waldo Silva and Barros Luco. They
ruled with full power of government
pending the regular election of a pres
ident and his Installation.
The Chilean troubles started In a
quarrel between J. M. Balmeceda.
president of Chill, and a. majority In
the congress. The latter objected to
the president's using his Influence if)
favor of a certain candidate for tl/e
presidency. Six Chilean warships re
volted and many of the congress lead
ers went aboard them. The revolu
tionary fleet sailed north and seized
Iqulque. The army supported the
president and severe battles were
foughit, the rebels being victorious.
The 'Junta de Goblerno” was then
established.
The revolutionary army marched
southward, Balmeceda resigned, the
Junta established headquarters in
Santiago, and order was swiftly re
inaugurated.
The career of Dr. Aurellano Urrutla,
a pure blooded Indian and proud of it,
Is In many respectß as worthy of study
as that of General Huerta. Huerta
and Urrutla give the lie to those who
.see In the Mexican aborigine only
a dumb creature of no possibilities.
Urrutla, the leading surgeon In
Mexico, was born In Xochlmilco, a tiny
Indian village In the suburbs of the
capital. As a boy he peddled baskets
In the streets of Mexico City.
His parents were extremely poor. In
that wondrous land of plenty few
starve, and some how or other Aure
llano attended grammar school In
Xochilileo. He didn’t get very fat.
Then General Diaz established public
schools In Mexico City and young
Urrutla was one of the first Mexican
boys to avail himself of this oppor
tunity. He was graduated from the
public school and struggled through
the medical school, where he studied
under Llclaga.
Once a physician, Dr. Urrutla took
surgery. He advanced rapidly. His
reputation spread, for he was a man
of great personality. Iron will, and
vast Intellect. He became known as
Lntln-Amerlca’s greatest surgeon. He
Is also one of the wealthiest men In

A class of thirteen young men will,
tonight at the Grand Opera House, be
graduated from the Academy of Rich
mond county. It will be the one hun
dred and thirty-first annual com
mencement of this historic Institu
tion.
There is now something that makes
the Academy commencements much
more than they used to be. The prin
cipal reason, probably, Is because the
standard of the Academy since It was
taken In charge by the Richmond
Couuty Board of Education, has been
materially raised and now its diploma
stands for Just twice what It did only
flvq years ago.
Gets College Credit,
A cadet graduating from the Rich
mond Academy now has not only done
all of the ordinary high school work
required, but has besides completed a
full year of college work, and is en
titled on his diploma, without exami
nation, to enter any of the leading uni
versities.
It is positively stated that reserved
seat coupons will not be recognized
after 9 o'clock tonight. persons hav
ing had their seats reserved must be
on hand' by this hour, or assume the
risk of being seated anywhere In the
house The exercises will begin
promptly at S:SO o'clock, with an over

When Huerta came back after de
feating Orozco for Madero he was
without command, 111, penniless,
friendless, and suffering from a cata
ract which made him nearly blind. Dr.
Urrutla took the soldier to his ani
tarium at Tlalpam and cut off the
cataract successfully. They became
close friends. When Huerta took the
supreme power Dr. Urrutla received
the portfolio of the interior. He
proved strongly antl-Amerlcan and
often declared In favor of war witji
the United States. He advised the
scalpel for Mexico’s troubles. Only
strong measures would do, he said.
He became known for the most
atrocious cruelties, whether mighty or
no. According to his enemies his sur
geon training or his Indian nature
steeled him to all pity. At the time
that Senator Dominguez and Senator
Bordes Mangel disappeared it was
openly charged that Dr. Urrutla had
ordered them shot to death. He was
commonly known as "The Black
Death.” But he made a mistake when
he arrested in his bed at midnight
Senator Manuel Calero, chairman of
the foreign relations committee of the
Mexican senate and one of the most
prominent lawyers and polltcians in
Mexico. Twice Dr. Urrutla had Ca
lero arrested, thus violating the
stltutlon giving members of congress
immunity. Senor Calero schemed suc
cessfully to achieve the surgeon’s
downfall and in September General
Huerta asked his friend to resign from
the cabinet.
Urrutla’s influence grew less and
less. He was forced to flee In the
disguise of a common laborer to Vera
Cruz, seeking the protection of the
soldiers of the nation which, above
all others, he despised and later com
ing to this country he hated as a refu
gee.
Congress Is showing actually mur
derous traits In Its treatment of the
army and navy aviators. Its nig
gardly policy Is killing off brave of
ficers at an alariping rate. Experts
say the mortality Is due entirely to
forcing air scouts to fly In out-of
date and defective aeroplanes. If our
army advances from Vera Cruz It does
so with the comforting assurance that
uo other great power in the world is
so poorly equipped for air service as
the United States and that there are
gTave doubts whether we are not se
riously Inferior to Huerta’s forces in
this branch.
Seven army men were killed in 1913
against 19 civilians. There were a
hundred civilians flying to one offi
cer. Many of the civilians tried crazy
stunts, freak flying, tangoing in the
air, and even loops and upside-down
flying. The army officers are not go
ing out for fancy flying but for
straight tests of speed and altitude.
The army officers do not get into the
air service unless they have a special
talent for mechanics and are well
trained. Many of the civilian flyers
are wild-eyed youths of little teach
ing. Yet it seems the army men have
about forty chance* of death to one
for a civilian.

It is a stirring story of the Mexican revolution in which this
