times, but not every time 1 was there; she
had learned that there were many things tliat

ilcveloped a habit of going off to make speech

It was my good fortune to live at the same
hotel with Miss Robert,son, and from what I

Georgia, “s right good time.”
I was in the Gal'erv when she was escort

the privilege of being the first woman to
ever preside over the House of Representa

Frankly: feminine Miss Robertson developed the
unhappy faculty of changing her

the vote of the individual who changes its
mind.

We have been in politics long enough—we
women in Georgia-—to know that the power
we have, and are to wield, doesn’t center all
around the ballot Ikix i
Mr. Watson lost a race more than once,
wbe n ballots enough to elect. him, had been
in the box; but things happened to
those ballots, ami sudden and mysterious
broke out, destroying records winch would
have told the tale of the ballots, had he
given an honest deal.
The most important part we women are
to play is: an understanding of the needs of
the Sta-te-the whole State, not only hat
wlneh claims the lnggest cities, but the whole
State, and overv individual part in it.
For many years it had been a lmbit
of the big cities, to name candidates for every
othee, and the cities saw to it that they got
elected.
Then Mr. Watson preached, again and
again, on the remedy; which finally resulted
the restoration of-the County Unit plan,
which Hoke Smith tried to abolish. Ac
cording to its size, the county was given so
in any voters; each little town was of impor

every Griffin, house-top, demanding ivar there was at
Walatein Georgia, an enthusiastic youngster
the McCord, who responded promptly to
nation’s call for volunteers. ‘
Young McCord organized a company then
a regiment, and followed the flag to Cuba
he fought Spaniards, mosquitoes yellow

liming battled successfully with that

States alter peace was concluded with Spain,
ai1 J he took a course in Dentistry, in a Georgia
college where lie graduated with honors.
He “settled” at Jackson, Butts County
Georgia, and within a few months, took first
rank in his profession. He made Rood monev ’’
from the start.
He decided that he would devote his life
and his energies to a higher calling than tin
mere making of money: lie took up the
try, and he has followed the flag of Jesus
Christ with the same determination that char¬
acterized liis valor and courage in Cuba mid
won him high honor on the field of battle.
lie has carried the message of the Saviour
to twenty-six American States, and I predict
that lit* will, somp day, preach in London.
Mrt McCord is far and away a better
orator than "William A. Sunday.
He is not given to platform exhibitions
and circus performances: he preaches.
As an Evangelist, he is entitled to first
rank'.
As a patriot, lie will, if you listen to bis
burning messages, convince you that he stands
f or k) 0 per cent Americanism, and he doesn’t
trim his sails to catch the passing breeze,
He is for America and against Rome; he
■ l d for the Ku K lux Klan and its red
l , ? ood , ? d , Americanism; . and . he , stands for the
American Constitution and against the 01 -
ei fners who arc now attempting o se in
our prohibition laws and let down the gap to
light wines and beers, with booze, to follow.
The Rev. McCord has preached in Thom

pression.

He paid eloquent tribute to the late
tor Thomas E. Watson, and let it be known to
all that he is a disciple of the political teach
