Alex Stephens Denounces
Circulars and Charges
Of His Opponents
To the People of Georgia:
There is being circulated throughout the state pernicious cir
culars, advertisements and verbal charges falsely accusing me of
habitually indorsing negro politicians and charging that my “per
sonal tastes and Inclinations” run along such lines.
I denounced these scurrilous a ttacks as wilful, malicious, un
mitigated lies, circulated and instigated at the eleventh hour of the
campaign by a gang of Atlanta rlngsters and political trickster*
who are seeking to put one of their crowd, the Atlanta police mag
istrate, upon the bench of the C ourt of Appeals. They have a
grip upon the politics of Atlanta and the county of Fulton and will
stop at nothing to control the politics of the state. They realize
that they have met defeat, and, seeing the hopelessness of their
cause, they, in order to save it, now stoop to scandalous charges
against me.
As against these false attacks I put the testimony of Judge
Horace M. Holden, Judge Spencer R. Atkinson. Judge J. R. Pottle.
Judge Arthur G. Powell. Hon. Sam S. Bennett, Judge H. Gray
Lewis. Judge E. E. Cox, Joseph E. Pottle and hundreds of others
throughout the state who indorse my character as a lawyer and as
a man.
I have run a clean campaign and expect to continue to do eo.
I have made no personal attacks upon Recorder Broyles. I have
no mud to sling. I desire to go upon the bench free from the
contamination of dirty politics.
Being a native Georgian and Imbued with all the traditions of
the South; having been raised by and in the house with the Vice
President of the Confederacy and Governor of Georgia, my Uncle
Alexander H. Stephens, whose honored name I happen to bear, Is
alone a sufficient answer to these vicious attacks.
W'hile I seek a place upon the Court of Appeals upon what
ever merits I myself possess, I appeal to the people of Georgia, as
my Uncle would do were he here today, to rally to my support on
the 19th and rebuke this crowd of Atlanta rlngsters and character
assassins, who, for selfish end* and political purposes, are endeav
oring to besmirch my character and, through me, to befoul and
dishonor his good name.
ALEXANDER W. STEPHENS.
