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.

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 EASTER OPENING-.
