Watson Seeks Petticoat Protection
After Dragging Mr. Reynolds’
Family Into Fight
Tc sh« votwjr of the ’Oth confrc»*lonal
dlxtrlui:
The JefferMpOian. brarlnn date of Au
gust Jftth, Is */iow before us (on August
mil)-an apt illustrstiom of the lark of
verity of ,it« contents. The probable
reason for this undue haste In puhllra
tlon ami pre-rtiLtlng Is Uiat Mr. Wutaon
'.eight again parade his attacks against
ni« before the primary. The revelation
of It Is that lie whines because of his
claim that I first assailed him and that
he Is seeking petticoat protection; which
Itself furiAshtvl the uttermost condemna
tion of his own notion In this campaign.
The attempt r.f| Mr. Watson to excuse
his attack 'on me by Irylng to prove
that 1 first nsaolled him Is as pitiful a* It
Is untrue Vs I showed In my card to
the voters ot the district In Monday's
Augusta HiVfltM. there was no attack of
nnv kind made by me upon Mr. Watson
until June UUi at Spread, after he had
seven I times assailed me In The Jef
fersonian There win no reason for
such attack <lt. me, for my last relations
with him as to the ■ ongtcsslonal race
was that he tvsd solicited me to make
the race, and subsequent thereto had so
licited that 1 Vim for the judgesldp of
this circuit To have refrained from
combating his unwarranted and un
worthy attack (however brilliant Ids
mind and vigorous his penl. would have
hei-n so Inconsistent with the manhood
which the men of this district respect,
that I would have la-en unwilling to con
tinue In nek their support If I had re
mained meekly quiescent.
Mr Watson contents himself with
denying that lie Is supporting Mr. Vin
son. His forgetfulness Is lamenlable
when it Is repelled that !n The Jeffer
sonian of the 13th Irish, he Hdvlses his
followers thus:
"Scratch Way molds If you prsfsr Vin
son to Evans, scratch Evans also. If you

How tsvld this man muat he when he
rankes denial in the face of such facta
and would have you believe that 1 have
dong him any Injury, whan I did nut re
tract such charge.

WARREN GRICE
To Succeed Himself; His Splendid Recocd
as a Lawyer and as the State's
Chief Counsel
Hon Wftrren Orlop, attorney-general of Georgia, who la a can
didate to succeed himself, la vary optimistic over the result of the
effort a made to further hla candidacy, and hla mall assures him that
he need have no fears ea to the result of the election next Wednes
day.
Mr. Grice hsa not made a personal tour of the state, nor given
out newspaper statements, hut has heen quietly at work, and la being
actively supported by hundreds of friends. In every county In the state.
Among hla moat loyaJ supporters are Judge Charles H. Brand, of
Clifford Walker s own circuit, and Judge TV n. Bussell, both of whom
are uetng their Influence forcibly In Attorney-General Grice's hehalf. an.
he le assured that he will carry Walker’s own county.
Mr. Orlce la vigorously supported by every lswyer, without excep
tion, In hla old circuit, Oconee, and by every judge and ex-judge of
that circuit, as wall as hy promlne.it lawyers and Judges all over the
state.
Before brooming attorney-general. Mr. Grice had practiced law In
partnership with hla father, for twenty years In the Oconee Circuit,
and had served several terms tn the mate legislature.
Bines taking charge of the affairs of his new office on April ISIh,
Mr (Trice has represented In over a score of murder eases which have
been heard before the Fupreme Court of the state, and without ex
ception. he has been successful; not a single case being lost.
When the celebrated Frank rasa was Isst before the Fupreme
Court, Mr. Orlce represented the state, being assisted by Follcltor
Dorsey, and made a masterful argument In support of the state's
claims. A verdict has not yet been given In this esse.
A number of other celebrsted casts have been before the Supreme
Court with Mr. Orlce representing the state, all of which he has han
dled In such a way as to receive approbation of those connected with
the court. *
Mr. Orlce bases his claim for election to th* full term of the at
torney - generalahIp upon the manner In which he has conducted the af
fairs of the office, although he realises that he has Jeopardised his
candidacy* hy remaining at hla oftice In the capital hard at work lu
•tead of stumplnp the state to combat his opponent by his own meth
ods. and hta record as s lawyer and Jn the public service of the peo
pie of Georgia
with Mr. Wataon, that whun she wan in
the convent at Washington she was un
der “the care of the good ladies of the
school.”
Who of you that have read Mr. Wat
son s tirades for years pmt would sus
pect that l»e believed the Catholic con
vent* were under the charge of “good
ladles?" Don't you know that he al
ways wrote with an apparent effort to
have you believe otherwise? When is he
sincere?”
My mere statement of the ract that his
daughter "went to a convent” cannot he
twisted or distorted into insinuation
HSrainst her It wax Intended to he, end
has been proof to tin* public, of his own
Inconsistency and Insincerity, by show
ing that In the midst of his foul abuse
of Catholics and their Institutions, he
knew there were "good ladles” in charge
of their institutions, and was giving his
daughter the benefit of it.
What has been the conduct of this
man that he should so chide me? With
mi. utter disregard of the sacred ties of
marriage he has indulged in criticism of
my family history, that with persons less
devoted might easily have resulted In
domestic misunderstandings. With per
sistent cruelty, he has attempted to make
political capital of my wife’s pure piety.
He has attempted to make her religion
a reproach. He has risked casting a
shadow over the lives of our children, by
attempting to produce discord between
us and discrediting her In their esteem.
With such a record his attempt to In
sinuate that I have affronted hla daugh
ter by the mere statement that she went
to a convent, makes him unworthy, un
manly and a hypocrite; and I so brand
him, and all who ha\o followed hlrn In
Ids attacks upon me must and will al
ways so know him.
Yours truly,
JOSKrir H. REYNOLDS.

CHE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. '
DENOUNCED!
GEORGIA PRESS PRACTICALLY UNANIMOUS IN RESENTING THE ATTACKS UP
ON “FIRST LADY OF THE STATE” AND DENOUNCES CO CONSPIRATORS FOR ITS UT
TERANCE.
Regardless of Personal Preference for the Candidates the Editors of the Press of Georgia 'Are
Denouncing in No Unmistakable Terms the “Eieventh Hour” Attack Upon Governor and Mrs. Sla
ton, as a Few of the Editorial Comments Upon the Infamous Hardwick-Morris Combination Cards
Will Show.
"INFAMOUS CAMPAIGN CARD"
—Gainesville Herald
“The most Infamous piece of political work that it has been tho
painful duty of Georgians to read, was an assault published in the At
lanta papers last Monday by Newt Morris on Governor and Mrs. John
M. Slaton. Jt is shocking to think that any mart in this age of civl
llation could have stooped so low as to bring a man’s wife into a po
litical controversy in such a low' manner as this was done.
"Newt Morris whose nam e carries with it the title of ex-judge was
base enough and degenerate enough to charge falsely that tne gover
nor of the state of Georgia was a tax dodger and that his wife was
likewise one, when full returns was made by them to the amount of
$41.>,725.00.
“Those Georgians who read his most unmanly card cannot do other
wise than apologie to outsiders for having such a man within the
bounds of our state. After using Mrs. Slaton’s name In the most
commonplace manner throughout ids lengthy card, he charged her with
dodging and refusing to pay tax on any personal property.
“Tills man. Newt Morris, who made this attack first in introducing
Ms kindred political spirit, Tom Hardwick, at Alpharetta, and regard
less of the depths to which It descended, Hardwick seems to have ap
proved it. They then reduced it to a card and printed it as an ad
vertisement to satisfy the tastes of this element of political character
defamers, who seem to have lost all sense of chivalry, ethics and even
decency in their wild effort to reach office by means far beneath those
used by Cole Blease, of South Carolina, whose methods heretofore
have been regarded as the limit.
“When a candidate such as Hardwick aligns himself with a man of
trie Newt Morris type, accepts an introduction of this kind, and then
has it printed broadcast throughout the state as an advertisement, he
deserves an inglorious political funeral.
“When one sinks to such depths ns to w'eava the fair name of wom
anhood into such ignoble campaign methods as these, then the men of
the country who love the women of the land and who would lay down
their lives to protect them, should rise up In mass and say, ‘We will
have nothing to do with those who stoop to these methods. We will
protect our home and fireside, our mothers and sisters and wives and
daughters from any such infamy, at fche ballot box on the 19th of
August.”
“MORRIS STRIKES BELOW BELT”
Greensboro Herald-Journal
"It strikes The Herald-Journal that Judge N. A. Morris hit Gover
nor Slaton below the belt in bringing Mrs. Slaton Into the discussion.
"Judge Morris. Isn't doing Mr. Hardwick’s candidacy any good by
such tactics. People usually resent such things.
•'Governor Slaton has i.ssued a stinging rebuke to Judge Morris.
•in the early part of the contest the editor of The Herald-Journal
thought that he would vote for Mr. Hardwick. As the campaign pro
gvessed and we began to investigate, it has gradually dawned upon
us tlist wo were mistaken In our hasty conclusion.
"We can't run with Newt Morris. Newt is the straw that has
broken the camel's back.
"We can't resist the call. We must strike a blow in defense of
Georgia womanhood—and especially one whom we admire and highly
respect.
“Mr. Hardwick must assume responsibility for tills attack of Morris.
He sttod for it when Morris Introduced him at Alpharetta. Evidently
it is Hardwick's attack.
"We don’t want any South Carolina political methods in Georgia. We
propose to repudiate it right now."
“Will Cost Hardwick Thousands of
Votes”—Dalton Citizen.
“It is far beyond the pale of wholesome criticism when such low
brow methods nre tesorted to ns has been done in the case of one can
didate in Georgia who offers himself for the high office of United
States senator. The malicious, unwarranted end indeed despicable
attack that has been made upon Governor 81aton through misrepre
sentations as to his tax returns, involving as well the character of hon
esty of his wife, should be condemned throughout the length and
breadth of this commonwealth. It is such an affront to decency as
alone should insure the defeat of its iniquitous instigator. Wicked in
its purpose and untrue in its every phase, it affords a fair illustration
of the susceptibility of Governor Slaton’s opponent to the most low
down political methods.
“How any self-respecing, decent man can view with equanimity or
approval this eleventh hour attack upon, the fair name of Georgia
womanhood, goes to a depth we are unaple to fashion. He deserves the
rebuke of a righteous-loving constituency, and richly should he be re
garded by It.
‘ln all of our experience we do not femember to have ever seen or
road anything quite so villainous and contemptible as the Morris card.
It is a shame that good men who offer for high office are compelled
to have emptied on them all the sewage and filth that a perverted
imagination can bring forth. This Morris card will cost Tom Hard
wick thousands and thousands of votes.’’
“HARDWICK IS DYING HARD”
Winder News
“Driven to the last ditch In his efforts to find a vulnerable spot In
the clean record of Governor John M. Slaton, the ‘Shoo-fly’ candidate
is using a ‘discredited and degenerate ex-judge.’ Newt Morris, as a
sewer through which he is dumping political filth Into the governor’s
home.
“We say Hardwick is sponsor for this by reaso.i of the fact that his
campuign committee is having the Morris falsehood published as a
paid advertisement.
“Dike the skunk, Hardwick is dying hard, and he is determined that
all Georgia shall know of his presence. Slaton has Idm beaten to a
IVazzle and he knows It. and yet there are some men in this community
who will give a half ballot to Tom Hardwick, the man they despise
above all others, by casting a ballot for Uufo Hutchens.”
“PRECEDENT NEVER BEFORE
WITNESSED”—VaIdosta Times
"Georgians, who stand for the protection and reverence of woman
hood will not only recoil at the attack made bv ex-Judge N. A Morris
upon the wife of Governor Slaton, but will trample it down in repudia
tion.
"in a recently published card. ex-Judge Morris virtually charged
that Mrs Slaton made false fax returns, which amounts to penury
"Ex-Judge Morris Is a supporter of Thomas W. Hardwick.
"He boldly and shamelessly seeks to besmirch the name of Mrs Sla
ton.
"It ts n precedent never witnessed before tn Georgia. Men have al
w.'a>a fought out politics without dragging the name of womanhod into
their combats Such a method as that of ex-Judge Morris should be
crushed beyond all possibility of revival. Such an attack should be
repudiated for the sake of common decency.
"Every upright-thinking, woman-revering man in the state, who be
lieves In the protection of woman, will rise up and accomplish the
overthrow of such a perfidious and malevolent attack.”
“INSPIRED TO BOOST HARD
WICK”—Lavonia Times
"It ts regretted that Morris' peraonal animus ltd him to cross the
portats of the governor's home to make his bold, false accusations
against the governor's wife. This charge whs first made when Mor
ris Introduced Hardwick to an audience at Alpharetta last week Mor
ris started out In his campaign supporting Felder, but switched to
Hardwick shortly before this underhand thrust at the governor's wife
wia uncovered.
"Georgia manhood is appeal ed to to repudiate this attack on Geor
gia womanhood at the polls next Wednesday. I.et everv voter who
resents this attack on the wife of Governor Slaton go to the polls next
Wednesday ind repudiate thta slanderer In Georgia Cast your vote

fair methods will do neither Morris nor his candidate for the short
term senatorship, any good,”
" ‘Contemptible* is The Word"
—Newnan Herald and Advertiser
“A few' days ago ex-Judge Newt Morris, of Marietta, printed a card
in the Atlanta papers in which he charged that an inspection of the
tax books of Fulton county showed that both Governor Slaton and Mrs.
Slaton were tax dogers, etc. He charged specifically that MVs. Slaton
returned no personalty for taxation, yet the facts are that Mrs. Sla
toiT did return personality to the amount of SII,OOO, besides real estate
valued at $415,725, and that she will pay in taxes this year the sum
of $6,000. His charge of tax dodging against Governor Slaton was also
Hho J* n to he unfounded, as revealed by the tax digest of 1914. Ac
cording to the digest Governor Slaton returned property this year to
the amount of $15,200, as against $9,600 in 1913.
Measured by Judge Morris’ standard, even a baseless charge against
Governor Slaton might be considered plausible politics, because the

Mis. Slaton’s honesty, from no motive other than to embarrass her
husband’s candidacy, is cowardly and contemptible.”
"SHORT OF DECENT POLITICAL
CAMPAIGNING"—Bartow Tribune
It is far short of decent political campaigning for any kind of an
ornce to seek to deceive the people upon any matter about which they
are entitled to full information. 9

“LAST OF ALL CAME SATAN”
—Macon Telegraph
“So, Newt Morris has butted into the campaign. Somebody said*
Last of all came Satan.”
“TOO LOW AND DIRTY FOR
DECENT MEN”—Helena Herald
“When a man stoops as low as did Judge ‘Newt’ Morris, of Mari
etta, when he accused the governor of being a tax dodger, he surely
does not ever hope to get back to the plane of decency. I know that
no low* breed human, let alone a gentleman, would be so low as this
correctly termed ‘degenerate creature’ has put himself by making his
cowardly charge against one of Georgia’s fairest daughters. Old dog

rabid.

you go at that, but you are too low and dirty for decent men to touoh
"No one believe it, governor, and we will prove that to you on the
19th us August."
“THEIR ACTION FORESHADOWS
DEFEAT”—Clarksville Advertiser
"Politics in Georgia has reached a pretty low place when a candi
date must bring in the fair name of the wife of the governor, In an at
tack, to attempt to further the political ambitions of a candidate.
There can be but one conclusion to such efforts as that made by Judge
Morris and Tom Hardwick on Governor Slaton and the first lady of
Georgia—their defeat is a foregone conclusion to themselves, as it has
long been to any observant citizen of the state. Their defeat should
be so telling that no one in the future would ever have the audacity to
attempt such dastardly low politics as that of dragging the name of
our fair women into a campaign as a last desperate effort to ‘keep up
a showing' before the voters get a 'whack' at them."
“IT IS ABSOLUTELY UNTHINK
ABLE”—Commerce News
“No nobler lady than Mrs. J. M. Slaton has ever graced the gover
nor's mansion of this state. Her amiable, lovable characteristics have
won for her a large place in the hearts of all Georgians who know
her, personally, or from reputation. It is absolutely unthinkable that
her fair name and untarnished character should have been dragged Into
the filth and mire in the campaign now going on In this state. Lan
guage is lame to portray the condition of that mind and heart that
would inject or permit such an Injustice to the wife of the governor
of the state of Georgia.”
“ATTACK HAS HELPED SLA
TON”—Manchester Mercury
“Thomas W. Hardwick has hurt his cause in allowing the slander
ous matter about Governor and Mrs. Slaton to be published. Every
thinking man in Georgia will pay very little attention to what has
been said about their not paying taxes on personal property, but will
see to It that Mr. Hardwick is made to pay for this abuse at the
polls next Wednesday.
"Whatever chances Mr. Hardwick had of being elected have gone
gllmering tn this unjust attack on the governor and his good wife.
The people of Georgia want to sit down on such campaigning as this
and nip it in the bud, that such things will hereafter not be resorted to
"This attack has done the S laton cause good, while It has Injured
the cause of Mr. Hardwick more than he can tell, and he will not hear
the last of it at the polls next Wednesday.”
“THE LIMIT IN LOW POLITICS”
—Columbus Ledger
"There are various kinds of politics In which men can stoop to low
levels in their efforts to promote the cause of a friend in campaigns
for office, hut the rankest kind is that in which the good name of a
woman, who Is innocent of the objects and alms sought, Is drawn Into
the mire by members of the designing petty political class, who In
their frantic efforts to gain a point, so far forget themselves as to
thrust a blow at an innocent member of the gentler sex. This la strik
ing below the belt. It is just about the limit in low politics."
“Disgracefully Low and Contemp
ible”—LaGrange Reporter
"That was a disgracefully lo w and contemptible attack which ex-
Judge Newt Morris made upon the wife of Governor Slaton this week.
It Is a desperate cause indeed which leads one to resort to such meth
ods There could have been hut one object, that of trvlng by this
underhanded eleventh hour canard to advance the cause of his candi
date, Hardwick, by the degenerate method of slandering one dear to
all the people of Georgia, hoping thereby to Injure the cause of Gov
ernor Slaton, who, It Is realized. Is the leader in the racs.
"The fact of the matter Is, that Hardwick Is the real tax dodger In
this case, as shown hy the fact that he returns nothing whatever ex
cept II poll and *lO professional tax. It was to catch this class of
parasites that the tax equalization law was enacted.”
“STOOP TO BOLSTER LOSING
CAUSE”—Waycross Journal
"The haste with which certain newspapers fell for the dirty attack
of Newt Morris on Governor Slaton only goea to show to what meth
od* some papers will stoop to bolster a losing cause."
“ATTACK WILL PROVE A

"These eleventh hour nttacks on Governor Slaton like the one of
Newt Morris, re bound to prove boomerangs. The people will never
