HIS FIRST SPSEGH
JWr. Jack Cohen's Fair Com
ment on
COL CANDLRRS'S EFFORT
In The City Last Saturday
Liked it.
Mr. Jack Cohen, an avow-d
Spencer At kimmn supporter makes
♦ he following fair and just crili-ism
of Col. Canid rs opening speech
which was d-d vered in Rome
Saturday.
Mr C .ht’ii reported the speech for
his paper, the Atlanta Ji.urual,
aud ill Monday’s Journal Ids
ci mments appear as follows:
“Judging by its effect’on his hear
ers, Colonel Candler’s first speech
was a slice ss- He spoke for
more than two hours, >nd if he
Old not always have the sympathy
of his auditors it was plainly ap
parent that he did heir perfect
and undivided interest.
The first hour of his speech
was almost exclusively devoted
to natuDal topics. V\ hat he said
on these sui jects was listened to
in comparai iv-silence. For, while
all that he said showed his famil
iarity with public questions bo n
of his long experience in Washing
ton, it nevertheless was neithei
new nor highly entertaining.
His hearers warmed up to him
when ho commenced discussing
state topics,
His stat-ments that he was the
fa'herof die present constitution
of Georgia was received with un
alloyed enthusiasm, and bis
friends found much to cheir
when he discussed the ques'ion
of state taxation and the venal
practices used in el ction contests
in this statu in th* past twenty
five years.
But that portion of his speech
which was its liveliest and evident
ly rnosthigh'y appreciated was hie
reference to his competitors.
It was at his point the colonel
showed the profession of a quality
which hitherto neither of his op
ponents has developed. He has
the keenest sense of the ridiculous
and a vein of humor in his com
position at least 18 karats fine.
He was genuinely funny in
language and manner, and the
way in which his friends howled
with delight, the questions tiny
asked, and his quick sharp fash
ion of answering them all go to
show that before the end of this
campaign he will bring many a
hearty laugh from both friend
and toe.
Humor is the colonel’s long

suit. It is notsai 1 in derrogatioir.
of other parts of his speech, but
a fact which seemed to me ap
parent was that he never corti
p’etely established the circuit ol
sympathy and appreciation
through his audience until lit
commenced to make fun of his
two and to tackh
those editors whom he declared
had treated him unfairly.
A very large portion of Col
Candler’s hearers were farmers
and old soldiers. They had ail
the choice seats before the ci tv
folks thought the time to go to
the courthouse had arrived.
It is a matter of serious doubt
whetlter there were a dozen anti
Candler men in the audience
They were all for Candler before
he spoke. They were still for
Candler after lie had spoken.
Asa speech, neither the colonel
nor bis enthusiastic friends have
cause to regret his first effort.
Had he been twice as eloquent
or twice as forceful, he could not
have done himself more good.
Whatever men may think of
the subject matter of his remarks
1 think few will deny-that it was
admirable in tone, and unusually
-killful in conception.
'1 he effect of Col. Candler’s
speecli on an audience less in
sympathy with him than the
one in Rome, would have been
considerably marred by his con
stant reference •to his manu
script. Stopping to consultone’s
notes takes the edge of a speech,
more or less, and my own judg
ment, and that of many of the
colonel’s friends, is that he
would be more effective if he
threw his manuscript into a
waste basket and hereafter spoke
his unbridled thoughts.
Col, Candler has none of the
“graces” of the modern orator
He is, however, a fluent, earnest
talker, who sometimes approach
es the eloquent and will not fail
to be effective or impressive.
When the colonel had con
cluded, his friends were of the
opinion that he had nothing to
fear from joint debates, and
many of his admirers said on
the trip back to Atlanta, that
they believed he would shortly
meet his opponents
