First, his attempt to classify Mr.
Frank C. Lowry of New York as a
lobbyist, and then to insinuate, al
though admitting otherwise that I
had improper relations with Mr, Low
ry. Who then is Mr. Lowry? He is
sales agent of the Federal Sugar Re
fining Company, the strongest and
most aggressive of the independent su
gar refiners of the country, the great
est competitor and foe of the Ameri
can Sugar Refining Company, com
monly known as the “Sugar Trust.”
The Federal, and Mr. Lowry have long
fought for free sugar, or if that could
not be obtained, for a substantial re-

duction of the duty. They have made
a fight, not to keep a tax on American
consumers, but to remove it. and every
American consumer of sugar owes
them a debt of gratitude for their
work in this cause. While the Under
wood tariff bill was being framed
Mr. Lowry, one of the greatest ex
perts in the country on sugar was giv
en control of the time allotted hy the
Ways and Means Committee of the
House to the friends of free sugar. He
made an elaborate and powerful argu
ment before the committee for free
sugar, and I was glad to have (he Gov
ernment Printing Office print for him
at his expense copies of that argu
ment In extending him this right to 1
have his argument printed Ht his own
expense, the Government Printing Of
fice did not extend to him any special
privilege or one that Is denied to any
witness who appears on any side of j
any question before any committee of I
Congress, provided such witness will
pay, as Mr. Lowry did, the expense of
the printing. The Sugar Trust and
the Beet Sugar people freely availed
themselves of this privilege, in their
fight against free sugar,—Would Mr.
Slaton deny that right to Mr. Lowry,
in his fight against the sugar trust
and for free sugar?
I am proud to have stood side hy
side with Mr. Lowry in the great fight
for free sugar. I am proud to have
been able to have rendered him the
personal service of getting the printing
office to print that great argument for
him, and to have turned over the
checks that he sent to my office to pay
for this printing to the Public Printer
of the United States. The New York
Tribune, that published the article
that. Mr. Slaton quotes, wrote me a
profound and complete apology for the
publication of such a statement and
Mr. Lowry In his statement to the
Senate Committee fully and plainly
stated that these cheeks wore signed
to pay for public printing that the
government had done for him. I did
not lend my frank to Mr. Lowry,
though I would have been honored to
have had It used to distribute any lit
erature that under the law couid bo
so distributed that aided in the great
fight for free sugar.
Second: Mr. Slaton insists that I
deceived the people of the Tenth Dis
trict by promising them to repeal the
Fifteenth Amendment, and then not
doing it His solicitude on this score
is remarkable. Evidently the people
whom he says I deceived do not regard
it so, since although the alleged de
ception was practiced on them twelve
years ago they have continued to send
me hack to Congress year after year
until I have represented them longer
than any man alive or dead, save Al
exander H. Stephens. To case Mr.
Slaton's honest and scrupulous soul,
however, and to show him that some
one has imposed on his credulity in
this matter, let me quote from my
opening speech at Thomson, C.a, op
March 18, 1902, in my first race for
Congress:
“I have promised to work no mira
cles for the people, and I have not
pledged myself, as my opponent would
seem to imply to accomplish this glor
ious and much desired result," (refer
ring to the repeal of these amend
ments.)
Third: I do assail Mr, Slaton's tax
law, not because of the assessment
principles, but because Its evident pur
pose is to effectually side-step the
constitutional limitations of flvo mills
on taxation, which was not In force at
the time (lie tax commission hill was
Introduced In 1 100. I also assail the
new tax law because the effect will he
to unjustly tnciaase the burdens of the
owners of land, of all roalty, and of all
visible property, whiob "annot escape
the eye of the Tax Gatherer, and which
will be taxed at a higher valuation,
while invisible and Intangible proper
ty will continue to escape taxation, the
new law providing no adequate means
for forcing It on the tax books. Gov
ernor Slaton doubtless recalls that In
1900 when I stood for the assessment
principle, I also stood for drastic leg
islation to force the proper return of
such Invisible property as notes and
accounts, for he then opposed it, as he
doubtless does now.
Fourth: I have never favored the
county unit plan in my own district or
anywhere else. In 1902 the rules for
the Congressional contest were fixed
by a committee that my antagonist at
that time boasted was a unit in his
favor, save the one member from my
own county In 1910- the Congression
al Committee was controlled by my
friends. While It did not entirely ab
rogate the county unit plan, It did so
substantially by providing that if there
should be no nomination under that
plan the candidates who had received
the largest number of popular votes in
the entire district should be nominat
ed. If that were the rule today in our
state there would he no possibility
that a log-rolling convention might
nominate either a Senator or a Gov
ernor, In defiance of the will of the
people at the ballot box. But Mr. Sla
ton insists that one of my friends, on
State Committee, voted for thii
County Unit Plan. Very possibly. I
do not control or even try to control
the opinions or conduct of my friends.
Many of them differ with me on many
things. I concede to each of them- the
same freedom of thought and action
that I claim for myself. But, If any of
them did so vote, they did so without
any suggestion from me, and with full
knowledge that I thought otherwise.
Of course if Mr. Slaton insists that Is
also the case with his secretary, Mr.
Ulm, I must' accept It. But unless he
Insists on It very strongly I must be
lieve, as I the people will, that
Mr. Slaton both knew of and approved
of his secretary's position, which was
right, and now repudiates it and takes
the wrong side, because he believes It
to he the popular side, and fears to op
pose the County Unit Plan.
Fifth: Mr. Slaton seems to havs en
tirely, if not purposely missed the
point of my criticism, of his conversa
tion with the law firm of Rosser, Bran
don. Slaton & Phillips, and their ac
tivities in behalf of negro office hold
ers In tho Atlanta Post Office. I did
not criticize Mr. Slaton for being a
member of such law firm while he waa
Governor of tho State with the power
to appoint and promote Judges (In
case of vacancies) and to pardon and
commute sentences of criminals who
might he clients of his law firm.
In conclusion, let tne ask Mr. Slaton:
What has become of the Depot Bill Is
sue? And what has he to say about
the Kimball Mouse? How does ha
stand on national prohibition?
I stand In this contest, on a record
of twelve years of useful and favorable
service In the Congress of the United
States.
I claim that the experience and
training I have had there, gives me
qualifications for the Senatorshlp
that neither of my opponents possess.
