Carlisle is indirectly responsible fer the UNI
dercurrent which may result In the defeat OF
Gov. Gordon, Carlisle was tho most popular
man in Georgia. His tariff views had made his
mama familiar in every farmhouse, 80 that on
whatever side his argument was quoted the
victory rested. The rural press regarded it as
treason to speak otherwise than in approval OF
the great free trade Lender When Carlisle
was elected to the Senate the farmers OF Geor-
oia felt that they now had personal repre-
sentative there.
II may be imagined, then. with what chagrin
these same farmers read the letter OF Senator
Carlisle in which he denounced the Sub-Troas-
ury bill. 1t was his first public utterance after
getting into the Senate The cry wont around
that no politician could be trusted. that since
Carlisle had proven false nothing was to be eS-
pected from the others. Consultations fol-
lowed and 1t was soon determined that it was
tho duty Of the Alliance to see that none but
trusted men should receive the Alliance vote
for any office, and that as the opportunities for
filing them occurred the Alliance should be
ready to meet them.
The pol OF the nominated candidates for the
bV Gov Gordon's friends. will Show n decided
majority OF men who do not intend to be count
ed until the time comes for the casting OF their
votes.
