LANDS ON SENATOR
THOMAS E. WATSON
The Governor Protested Against
the Ku Klux Klan and Invisible
Government and Promised to
Samp It Out..—Makes Appeal
tor Strict Law Enforcement.
Declaring that Senator Thomas E.
Watson must attend to his own busi
ness and leave the office of govern
or of Georgia alone, as long as he is
in the executive chair, protesting
against the Ku Klux Klan and invis
ible government in Georgia and threat
ening to stamp it out when it trans
gressed the law, if “it takes every sol
dier in Georgia to do it.” Governor
Thomas W. Hardwitek made the second
speech of his gubernatorial campaign,
in this city last night.
Because of the fact that it was not
known that the Governor was to be in
the city until yesterday morning, there
was not as large a crowd at the city
hall to hear him, as there would have
been. He was enroute to meet an ap
pointment in Mclntosh county and his
lotal friesds insisted that he make a
talk here. He consented and under
the auspices of the Hardwick club
spoke for some forty minutes.
The meeting was presided over by
Hon. N. Emanuel, president of the
Glynn County Hardwick club and the
Governor was introduced by Judge D.
W. Krauss. In that dynamic fashion
of his, he entered at once into a dis
cussion of the issues in the impend
ing campaign. He explained his act in
discounting the rentals of th e West
ern & Atlanta; railroad in order
the debts of the state be paid and that
Georgia veterans jiftay get their pen
sion money. He advocated an improv
ed fiscal system in the state and ex
plained how the state was losing reve
nues for the lack of such a system.
Warming up to his subject, the Gov
ernor estered into a rather vigorous
defense of,law and order and protest
ed bitterly'against violation of the law
by the Ku Klux Klan. He said there
was not room enough in the state for
invisible government; government
that usurped th e powers of the courts
and in masks inflicted punishment that
ought toTra handed out by juries. He
proposed to stamp it out he said, if it
took every soldier in the state to do
the job. Speaking of the strikes, he
told his auditors that every man has
aj right to quit his job, if he wants to,
but it was wrong for any man or any
set of men t<j resort to force to prevent
others' fro intaking up the jobs that
had been turned down!
Governor Hardwick brought down
the house, when he declared “my
friends, there would have been no op
position to me in this race, had I list
ened to the dictation of Senator Thom
as E. Watson. He wanted.To run his
job in the Senate and the one in At
lanta, too,” said the Governor; “and
I would have none of it.” He then pro
ceeded to declare his independence of
Watson and other wobld-be bosses. “I
know no master, no boss,” said the
Governor, ‘'except the God I serve, the]
woman I love and the constituents,
whose commission I hold.”
Governor Hardwick exlpained hjs
position on the movement in the legis
lature to repeal the State tax equaliza
tion laws and objected to the idea of
doing away with revenue laws without
substituting something squally as good
oft,fetter. /
He promised the people to continue
to try and give the state-of Georgia-a
clean, business-like administration
wherein the greatest economy would
be used and pointed out that pres
ent legislature had already decreased
appropriations by almost a million and
a half dollars.
The Governor was kind to his op
ponent and only referred to him one
time and that was to show that Sena
tor Watson, now behind his candidacy,
two years ago referred to him as “sor
ry Cliff Walker.” He was sure, he
said, that Georgia would re-elect him
and predicted that he would sweep
the state in the coming primary.
The audience was an enthusiastic
cn e and the speech was liberally punc
tuated with applause. Because he had
to catch a’train at 9:15 lie cut the talk
short, but it made a decided hit with
those who'heard it* 1.

RIFLEMEN BREAK
GAMP TOMORROW
Will Leave on Early Boat for the
City, But They Expect Their
Friends Over for Dinner This
Evening.
The Brunswick Riflemen will break
camp early tomorrow morning, after
participating in one of the most suc
cessful encampments Georgia soldiers
have ever held and one that has put
the service up to the very highest stan
dard insofar as the 122nd Georgia is
concerned.
Many details were left to be arrang
ed and as it was the last day of the
week and with no members anxious to
return to their usual civil vocations,
Capt. Harwell, with the sanction of
the commander, decided to remain
over and handle anything left undone,
that is, settle all matters pertaining to
the annual training period.
Then again, the Riflemen will be
host to scores of Brunswickians, who
will dine with the company this even
ing. Everything is arranged and it is
expected that the organization’s
friends will be there to gather around
the company table and enjoy a genu
ine army dinner. The invitation was
extended through the columns of The
News yesterday and if it is not accept
ed by the number expected, members
of the company will be disappointed.

RESULT CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S
MANY RECENT UTTERANCES
Letter from Headquarters Tells
Governor He Really Did Them
a Favor When He Took Such
a Stand Against Mask Wear
ing by Klan Members.
(By Associated Press.)
Atlanta,' Ga., July 22.—As a result
of Governor Hardwick's utterances
that masked bands must cease opera
tions in Georgia, whether it be Ku
Klux Klan or anything else. Edward
j Young Clarke, Imperial Wizard pro
Item, lias issued an order that no mem-
I her of the Klan shall use a mask or
wear his regalia other than 41. the
meetings in their own lodge rooms,
and any member violating the order
will be immediately punished by the
Klan, and if any member has violat
ed any o fthe laws of the state the
Klan officials will assist in his prosecu
tion.
This information was made known
through a letter written by the Imper
ial Wizard pro tem, in a letter to Gov
jernor Hardwick, in which h e stated
i that he felt sure that the Governor
;had nothing against the Klan or its
principles, but was only opposed to the
; wearing of masks and was in reality
j doing the Klan a favor when he point
jed out that many acts of lawlessness
;by masked bands were being blamed
|on the Klan. Mr. Clarke in a long let
ter to the Governor told of his order
! banning the mask.
I
I Governor Hardwick'repliert congrat
ulating Mr. Clarke on his action and
j stating that he was sure the Klan was
[getting the blame for many acts of
| lawlessness, whether its members
were guilty or not. The governor also
made it clear that if masked bands did
not cease to operate there would soon
be laws preventing the wearing of
masks, and providing for the publi
cation of the names of all officials and
all members of secret orders, both
black and white.
The order 1 to unmask on the part of
the Klan is regarded as a big victory
for the governor, who has made sever
al addresses against masked outrages
in the state.

IT IS SITE TO RIDE
ON A.B.ELA. RAILWAY
Union Men are Accused of
Spreading Propaganda Calcu
lated to Decrease Patronage
on Non-Union System.
Atlanta, Ga.. July 22. —It is just as
safe to ride on the trains of the At
lanta, Birmingham & Atlantic railroad
as it is on any other railway system
labor union propaganda to the con
trary notwithstanding.
This is the statement not only of
the railway officials but of people liv
ing all along the line of the road.
Attention is called here today to
propaganda of labor union men against
the Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic
system, particularly in the southern
portion of the state. The report was
circulated that the road is likely to
be dynamited.
Of course, as railroad men here de
clare, the rumor is absolutely without
foundation and was started, it is as
certained, by union men. The Atlanta t
Birmingham and Atlantic, railway is
Using non-union men, th e places of all
union men being filled when they went
out on a strike many months ago.
“We had occasion recently to find
certain evidences of fear on the part
of people wholly without tangible foun
dation and yet based on the fact that
after the strike struggle there toere
wrecks and dynamiting,” said E. R.
Jerger, editor of the Thomasville,
(Ga.) Times-Enterprise. “They were
surprised when informed that these
wrecks were caused to freight trains
and that the A., B. & A. had never kill
ed a.passenger until the wreck a short
time ago. near Atlanta, which was
proven to be an accident sHch as may
occur at any time on any railroad, and
not the result of lack' of proper equip
ment.”
According to Mr. Jerger the union
men are accused of spreading the prop
aganda and attempting to alarm peo
ple into trading with some other road.
Accused of having some of their
number involved in the wrecks that
occurred it would seem the worst sort
of policy for the unions to use this
propaganda no matter how much they
hated the road,” declares Mr. Jerger.
“The schedules are maintained, ac
cording to reports as well as on most
other roads and there have been no
accidents that would make a person
suspicious that the lawless were going
to use more dynamite or that the road
equipment was not in shape to take
care of the traffic,” said Mr. Jerger.
SEA FOOD ESTABLISHMENT
A CREDIT TO BRUNSWICK

After being delayed for the past sev
eral days on account of the non-ar

food Market, J. W. Brady, proprietor,
formally opened yesterday and judging
from the first (jay’s business, it will
be a great success and it should be.
Mr. Brady has boxes sufficient to
carry a ton of fish, the equipment is
first class and the service will be. Ice
boxes of the very latest kind, show
cases where the purchaser can see
exactly what he or she is buying and
all that goes to make the place perfect
is there. It is located: in the Briese

to reach makes it convenient for the
ladies who do their own shopping.
T. W. Matthews, well and favorably

dent of the American Federation of

striking coal miners and shopmen and
their respective employers to begin
direct negotiations, coupled with a re
