Tom Watson is a brick. He has
sharp tongue. Just now he is writing
Washington letters to the Peoples Party
Paper, and he is Smelling the woods. He
goes for the other alliance Congressman
for Georgia after this fashion:
1t will be some time before we know
what Colonel Livingston gets for deliv-
ering Sub-Treasury votes to an anti-Sub-
Treasury Candidate.
As Mr. Crisp is ON record as saying
that the fusion between Democrats and
Republicans in Kansas was necessary to
crush the Alliance Party, the Alliance
men of Georgia will probably be a little
curious to know why alliance congress-
men supported Crisp when straight
out Ocala nan was in the race.
Had Colonel Livingston allowed it he
would have been the alliance nominee
But be said weeks ago he was bent on
supporting Crisp no matter what the In
dianapoHs convention asked him to do.
After that convention requested him and
| all the rest of us not to go into a caucus
and vote for a speaker, he treated the
request with contempt and worked and
voted for a man who, according to the
Livingston Yard-Stick, no sincere ALI,
liapceman could support.
To show how the other Georgia Ali
ance members "felt their OATS 1 quote
as follows:
81 am heart and soul for Crisp. am
an allianceman, but not political ALI
anceman. l accepted no alliance doc
trine in my candidacy, and shall accept
none in my action in congress-"
So spoke Judge Lawson.
1t sounds sht sassy, don't it? Going
to do just as he pleases. Did he talk
this way in his canvass last summer?
VIII he talk that way in the canvass
next summer?
Here's another-Hon. Tom VIM: 81
don't think it proper for the national al
lance to interfere with the vote or ac-
ton of Democratic Congressman.
Don't you, Tom? Then why did so
many staunch Democrats 90 out Of Office
while you and so many good Alliance
men went in? Was it not because the
national alliance had weighed those dem
ocratic congressman and found them
wanting? Did you not ride into Office
on the platform of the national alliance
framed at st. Louis? Certainly you did,
Tom. Then why is that same national
alliance now to be scorned and disobey-
ed? Tell us, Tom!
/ Congressman Everett put it this way:
Il pledged Crisp my support when he
first announced, am for him now strong
Ell than ever, | shall enter all democrat

and support all democratic nominees.
think it unfair, to say the least of it,
for the national alliance in grand coun-
ell assembled to interfere with the ac-
ton of democratic congressman
Goodness! Don't he pitch into the
National Alliance! "Unfair-to say the
least of it!' What more was our Caesar
who has suddenly grown too great to be
talked to by the national alliance about
to say? Heaven only knows. But tits
quite plain that hereafter when the ma
tional alliance has anything t. say to
Congressman Everett it had better take
off its hat and be powerful polite about
it. Everett wants the national alliance
to understand that he is "some punk
ms"
Mr. Moses says this: 81 am and have
always been for Crisp. am Il demo-
crat to the core, and so is my district. 1
deny the right of the national alliance to
interfere with my actions in partisan
politics.
''In their anti-caucus resolution they
went beyond their rightful prerogatiye.'
Poor National Alliance! Last year all
the congressional candidates, humbly
seeking alliance votes, bowed with re-
spectful obedience to the resolutions Of
the national alliance.
This year the national alliance is re-
pudiated, sneered at, scowled at as an
unwelcome guest, kicked out as an in
truder!
Why this difference? Last year these
gentlemen were candidates.
This year they are office holders.
That's the story.
A booty old politician who edits the
the Atlanta Constitution wants me to re-
sign.
OF course. am in his way. He feels
that his little game is understood and is
being blocked.
His career as Solicitor General under
Bullock gives him peculiar fitness as a
judge of my democracy.
Let him sober up and stay 50; then
perhaps he will not assume dictatoral
airs which are so asinine.
