12 X WHA 'TTS SAIT) or US. Ga., Jan. 31, 1907. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga. ago I received a sam ple new magazine. I it better than the old one that and DeFrance stole from you. f• f also received some sample copies of the Weekly Jeffersonian which can't be beat as a political weekly. I try to get subscribers for both periodicals but the people are slow to subscribe; they simply don’t know a good thing when they see It, but think I can send a few names In a few days to be put upon the subscription list. Though only a boy—a poor one at that —if I know what Populist is I am one from the crown of my head to the sole of my feet. I always speak a good word for Watson when I have a chance. Your wprk for the last two years has been benefit to me. fcave never read any of your hooks, she simple reason that I am too ■ u.o buy them. But if I live and - Kng happens lam going to have w Bethany if I have to split cord Ki at 50c per cord to get It I jgpmt it before the others because it R<ts of the south and I am a native ■KtLherner. Siam with you in regard to the at of some southern leaders, to ■Btaildent Roosevelt, I don’t think they Shim due credit when he honestly Krves it. ®hough poor and struggling with jroverty when I read Tom Watson’s writings they inspire me with renew ed hope and ambition. Ever rest assured of my hearty ap preciation of the good work you are doing and that I will do all I can to extend the irculation of your period icals. I remain yours very truly, WILLIAM S. STANLEY. Route 4. •e Greensboro, Ga., Feb. 1, 1907. Hon. Tomas E. Watson, Thomson, Ga. Dear Sir: Your February number Jeffersonian Magazine came to hand yesterday. I have read the first issue and then loaned it out, am trying to get others to subscribe for it and your Weekly Jeffersonian. I get both and am due for the Weekly which I will remit for some time soon; don’t know how I could get along without them for I have always stood where you stand and it does my heart good to know you are still at the stand prepared to strike above the belt. I am proud of one thing—although we were defeated as Populists, yet our principles are promulgated, in a large measure, by each of the two old parties. Mr. Bry an seems to be anxious for the Deml Plum but you may bet your soul he never will reach the white house. Why? Simply because there are enough of the boys that did defeat him when he went back on Mr. Wat son to do it again. That’s the size of It. Why I voted for McKinley and Teddy, hence you perceive the wind blows whence It come or goes but you hear the sound thereof and after the blow Is over one can see the effects of the storm and so it has been with the Democratic party for years, they brag and blow and yet it don’t amount to a hill of beans. Your last Maga zine is simply grand. The get up is superfine. I did not cancel my sub scription to the New York concern, T thought the best way to whip them was to let them use up the money in buying paper and printing and after you quit I received two copies then like Lon Livingston’s fish they swunk. Wishing you unbounded success In your new publications, admonishing the people therein to nobler deeds and higher ground, that they may apprehend the trend of the times and be brought to think as you think and see as you see. Yours respectfully, J. H. H. BROWN. Route 2. Athens, Ga., Jan. 31, 1907. Hon. Tomas E. Watson, Thomson, Ga. My Dear Sir: The February number of the new magazine has been received. It is chock full, heaped up, pressed down, and running over with good things to read. I don’t blame the New York magazine for doing the “skidoo” act. It couldn’t play in the backyard shade trees of the new magazine—the real Tom kind. I had thought the January number couldn’t be Improved upon, but still the wonder grew, and here it is far and away ahead of the first issue. Real live editorials on up-to-date sub jects as versatile in their choice as the author’s mind. Then “Ann Boyd,” as good as the best. Mr. Bayne’s two contributions, “Home Life of Mr. Wat son,” “Survey of the World,” all in readable style. The editorial on “For titude” can’t be beat. My friend Mr. J. A. Kelly, of the Senior law class and I decided we needed the magazine in the Univer sity Library Reading Rooms, so we wrote a petition for the librarian to subscribe, as Is customary, and just asked the boys to sign as we would meet them on the campus and at the dining hall; we have 100 signers and could easily get that many more. Mr. S. B. McCall is doing good work among the boys for the Weekly Jef fersonian. Respectfully, J. A. SMITH. 225 Lumpkin St. Syracuse, N. Y., January 5, 1907. Hon. Thomas E. Watson. Dear Sir: I have before me and have just finished reading Watson’s Jeffersonian Magazine. I now feel greatly relieved because when I learned a few months ago that your relations with Watson’s Magazine had been severed I was ap prehensive that you might not start another. I congratulate you upon your courage and enterprise and also upon your consideration for your friends and admirers and they are many who will generously respond to and appre ciate your devotion to them. lam fas cinated by its first issue and will do all I can to enthusiastically support it in the future. I note what your magazine contained as to the money question and I agree with it fully. It seems to me that now would be a good time to agitate a new issue of greenbacks; if more money is needed issue greenbacks. Nothing will si lence the clamor of the National Bank ing ring so effectually as the propo sition to supply the business interests of the country with the right kind of money (greenbacks). I also note what your magazine stated as to the candi dates Bryan, Parker and Hearst and think it was just right. I am sorry, however, that you were so misled by what the Hearst papers stated as to Mr. Charles F. Murphy, for I think Mr. Murphy demonstrated the only principle of correct politics that was discoverable on the Democratic side In the last campaign and I feel like giv ing him great credit considering his surroundings. I don’t think he was chargeable with the defeat of Mr. Hearst and yet the culmination was not one to Inspire confidence in the voting public. There are a number of men in the party who could have taken the management of Mr. Hearst’s cam- THE WEEKEWKPFFERSONIAN. Blast and wltff’an expen lalf the money have giv •ality of at least 100,000. naged it was one contln f blunders from the be ie day of election with ults to Mr. Hearst. The r. Hearst was a party r hlch I feel deeply griev ed because I fully believed that he was sincere and really meant to do the best good of which he was capa ble for the common people. We have succeeded in dislodging some of the well entrenched state officers of the Republican strongholds and put in their places some at least who sup ported our ticket in the last campaign. I will continue to read your magazine as long as it is published. I get it at a newstand near my office. I find that the demand for it far exceeds the supply but that will no doubt be rem edied by and by. It will supply a large number of readers who are inclined to be independent with reading matter suited to their taste and in sympathy with their own views. Sincerely yours, J. W. SHEA. * Towanda, Pa., Jan. 30, 1907. Hon. Thomas E. Watson, Editor of Tom Watson’s Jeffersonian Maga zine, Atlanta, Ga. Dear Sir: Please send me a sample copy of your magazine. I learned of the vent ure in the New York Times Book Review. In the “Life and Times of Andrew Jackson,” I hope you will fully discuss Jackson’s greatest “coup” against both legal and illegal tyranny, the smashing of the United States bank. Your views on political questions, de livered in “editorials,” hitherto pub lished in Watson’s Magazine of New York, are the necessity of thoughtful Americans, who seek the truth. THE H. L.
