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.

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. NATIONAL LEAGUE Braves Defeat Beds. At Cincinnati— (FlßST GAME).

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.

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: MR. NEWELLS LETTER. John M. Slaton. State Campaign Committee, Candler Building, Atlanta, (.la. Alfred C. Newell, chairman, J. A. Morrow, Secretary. “Send Slaton to the Senate." (Personal). 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.

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 < T JEFF BAILEY, Kditor Waycross Evening Herald. HER WEAKNESS.
