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 denounce these scurrilous attacks as wilful, malicious, un
mitigated lies, circulated and instigated at the eleventh hour of the
campaign by a gang of Atlanta ringsters and political tricksters
who are seeking to put one of their crowd, the Atlanta police mag
istrate, upon the bench of the Court 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. Hon. Joseph E. Pottle and hundreds of others
throughout the state who Indorse my character as a lawyer and as
a man.
! have run a clean campaign and expect to continue to do so.
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
contajnlnation 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,'la
alone a sufficient answer to these vicious attacks.
While I seek a place upon the Court of Appeals upon what
ever merits I myseif 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 ringsters and character
assassins, who, for selfish ends and political purposes, are endeav
oring to besmirch my character and, through me, to befoul and
dishonor his good name.

Jacksonville, Fla. —Jacksonville won
a brilliant victory from the Albany
Babies here yesterday. The locals
put up a star article of ball in the
field and Pearson was also in great
form, two of the four hits that were
made off his delivery being mere'y
infield scratches. A sensational stop
by Crowder which enabled him to
start a double play was the feature
of the game.

Savannah—The scheduled game yes
terday afternoon between the Corn
backs from Augusta and the Indians
was postponed on account of wet
grounds. If the weather permits a
double-header will be played this af
ternoon.
TJie Indians play but one more se
ries, after this one is completed, with
Manager "Babe” Brouthers’ crew, the
three games being staged on the vis
itors’ own playgrounds. At the wind
ing up of said series the curtain will
drop on the South Atlantic League
season in that city.
In the three games to be played in
this city excellent form is expected to
be shown for the Savannah bunch
still has a chance to win,out in this
half of the season as well as they did
in the past half. Manager Brouthers
holds some grudge against Hamilton’s
aggregation, probably gained during
the series here when Outfielder Shaw
was not allowed to play. The net re
sult of these feelings are that the Au
gusta lads are going to play like they
have never played before—and play
to win.

BARGE LINE WHARF
READY JAN. 1, MAYBE
It Is announced by Mr. DeTreville,
of the Augusta-Savannah Navigation
Company, that, although the city will
not have the wharf and terminals here
completed by October Ist, Ihere will
be no delay In the beginning of Inmi
ness operations. The two large steel
barges will be ready to plough the
water between AngiiHta and Savannah
by that time, and, although there Is
bound to he some handicap ns to load
ing and unloading here, the company
will begin Its business certainly by
October 1, if not earlier, as already
stated.
The work on the terminals Is such,
It Is understood, that only one Job
ean be done at a time. Win. F. Rowe,
to whom the eontraet for the rlrlYlng
of piles has been let. will have his
men at work In a few days, It Is
learned. His contract calls for the
piles to be driven in 60 days from the
time work Is commenced. Just as
soon as this work is finished, the con
crete dock, the contract for which has
been let to McKenzie Construction
Company, will be started and as soon
as the dock is built, Mr, Bowe, who
has also been given the contract for
erecting the steel warehouse, will get
to work on the last phase of the
building of the terminals
City Engineer Wingfield said this
morning that it was Impossible to
tell when the terminals for the barge
line would lie completed on account
of unforeseen delays, which may lie
brought on by the stringent financial
situation that may effect, this coun
try as a result of the European wav
and from other Pauses. If work pro
gresses well, the terminals may be
ready by January Ist, next, sajs Mr.
Wingfield.

SLATON’S CAMPAIGN MANAGER DESPERATE
(Communicated). ,
The letter below was received by
the ediiot of The Herald from Alfred
Newell, campaign manager for
Hovei nor Slaton. Wednesday. Mr.
Newell has found things so dull in the
Slaton Camp until he starts a rough
house in order to attract some atten
tion:

“Send Slaton to the Senate."

Kditor Waycross Herald,
Waycross, Ga.
My Dear Sir
1 want to appeal to you as one man
to another man to take up imme
diately in your most vigorous manner
the baseless attack of Newt Morris
on the wife of (lovernor Slaton.
This is a situation which tran
scends customary, political situations.
It amounts to a perfidious attack
on Georgia womanhood. It tends to
bring the politics of our state on a.
level with the politics of South Car
olina. It is so base; it is so uncalled
for; it is so malevolently untrue as to
stir the ire of every proper thinking
right-minded man in the state.
You know how the good people of
this good old state regard their “wo*
men-folks.” Politics is politics. We
are accustomed ot meeting and know
ing how to deal with the average po
litical deal or political situation, but
when a candidate for office stoops to
such a. low depth us to bring in the
fair name of our fairest “women
folks” one whom probably you know
(and to know her is to love)—-it ought
to be enough to cause every man who
loves true womanhood to get out and
fight.
Mr. Hardwick must assume the re
sponsibility for this vile attack of
Newt Morris. He stood for it when
Morris introduced him 111 bis Alpha
retta speech. It Is Hardwick's at
tack, not Newt Morris’s. NKWT
MORRIS IS TUB SKWKK
THROUGH WHICH HARDWICK IS
I UMPING HIS FILTH.
Irrespective of my connection with
any campaign I want to appeal to you
In the name of common decency,
not only to get busy with your pen
and show up Just as strongly as you
can this perfidious eleventh hour at
tack of the candidate who thinks he
is beaten, hut from this date on,
until the day of the primary get out
and fight In the name of Georgia wo
manhood and on the day of the elec
tion stand by the prills until you see
these dirty attacks so rebuked that
never again In Georgia history will
any condidate have the audacity to
bring In the fair name “women
folks” no matter how acute the con
ditions may he.
I am sending you, for your infor
mation, a. copy of an advertisement
which I wrote In reply to Morris’s
scurrilous attack In the dally papers.
If will hr* impossible for me to gel
this ad Iri all the weekly papers at
this time hut I want »" ' » •
the commercial side of this proposi
tion and Join me in the effort to pre
vent Georgia politics from getting on
the swine-like level of Smith Caro
lina's.

EDITOR OF THE HERALD
REPLIES.
Mr. Alfred C. Newell, Chairman,
Slaton Campaign Committee,
Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir—
I have your personal letter of An-*
gnat. 11th, in which you beg of me to
lake up immediately and vigorously
the attack of Judge Newt Morris,
upon the wife of Governor Slaton,
which you denounce as baseless.
In the first place, you have made
a mistake in sending your letter to
one who lias, after deliberate consid
eration of the men aspiring to the of
fice of United States senator, decid
ed that Hardwick, on account of hiM
experience and ability, is Infinitely
better fitted for the office, than your
time-serving and side-stepping can
didate; In the second place, I fail to
see, <after reading Judge Morris’s let
ter to the governor where he has at
tacked a daughter of the South, or in
any way made an Itisue on Mrs. Sla
ton; but, in case he has, I consider
litis a matter between the husband of
Mrs. Slaton and Judge Morris, and t
think the man who drags out skirts
as a. shield for his shortcomings, in
little of battle, as your candidate,
through you. is seemingly doing, is
no more worthy of the support of the
people than a man who would make
an attack on a daughter of Georgia.
You charge Mr. Hardwick through
Judge Mot rls with making an attack
oil Mrs Slaton, which attack, YOU
YOURSELF manufactured and in the
same letter you make an appeal to
every editor your letter was address
ed to, to ignore qualifications for of
fice and endorse and support the is
sue which you inject, which I think
is untrue, being one of prejudice,
maliciously founded, with a hope of
"pulling off something" on fom
Hardwick. You cannot get away with
that in South Georgia; and there are
ns many men to the square mile in
this section who will protect women,
rich or poor, when they need pro
taction, as reside in your vicinity.
YOU YOURSELF are sacrificing
the good name of the governor’s wife
111 a desperate effort to turn the
Hardwick tide to the fastiy ebbing
Slaton following. I despise such a.
crude, unprincipled trick, EVEN UN
DER THE MOST TRYING CIRCUM
STANOES, such as I relllze you face
now. In getting enough hope into your
system to make YOURSELF believe
that you are going to “Send Slaton
to the Senate." Like the cuttle fish,
you are endeavoring to squirt prln
tera' Ink all over the State of Geor
gia so as to muddy the waters and
conceal the fatal shortcomings of
your candidate. It Is a sham issue to
bolster a nham candidate Further
more in spite of the wordy fustian
and bombast with which your turgid
letter abounds, you fall to make a
dent In the charge of Judge Morris,
because It is apparent that Mr. Sta
ton’s tax returns were utterly untruo
and he stands convicted even in your
letter, not only as a dodger of Issues
but as being the champion artful tax
dodger of the state. Your caae is th*
same as the Irishman, who, upon
finding rio following, started a rough
house to attract some attention.
I unhesitatingly decline your good
offices, to excite me to fight for a fic
titious cause.
Very truly yours, a <
