TURNER SURE TO TRIUMPH.
A Misrepresentation Of the Situation in
an Atlanta Paper.

The Article Represents His Constitu-
ents as Resenting His Failure to More
Thoroughly Canvass His District The
Greatest Harmony Prevalent Through
out the District and His Populist OPP
ponent Has Never Had the Ghost of a
Chance.
Waycross. Ga, Oct. 1s.-An article in
Thursdays Constitution. dated at Way
cross and purporting to have been written
BY that papers Waycross correspondent,
does not present the facts concerning
the political situation in the Eleventh dis
trict. and fails 10 represent the sentiment
of the true democracy relative to Mr..
Turner's position in this campaign.
The situation in this district. so far as
Judge Turner is concerned. is all that
could be wished by the friends of that
gentleman.
There has been really no opposition to
MT Turner'S candidacy for reelection to
congress. Democracy is united in the de
termination of the convention which nom
mated Mr. Turner. and not the slightest
fears have been felt by his friends re
garding his chances for reelection.
Mr. Turner has known all along that
there has been no necessity for
his canvassing his district in the interest
of either his congressional or senatorial
candidacy. His strength in the district
is overwhelming, and the people have the
utmost confidence in his ability, integrity
and craftsmanship.
The populists have not for a moment
looked upon their candidates chances As
being at all encouraging They have made
.,-s-. inst NTr
and DR.. Johnson, their candidate, has
made no canvass of the district in this
campaign.
A noticeable fact in connection with
the true situation in the Eleventh dis
trict is that with one or two exceptions
every county will be represented in the
next Georgia legislature by democrats.
Every one of these representatives, win
support Mr.. Turner for promotion to the
Senate.
That Mr. Turner has given his time
during the campaign to a thorough can
vass of Middle and North Georgia is true,
but this should not lead any one to sup.
pose that his chances were weak for re-
election to congress. However. there has
been no such superstition entertained by
the people of this district
The greatest harmony prevails among
the democrats in the Eleventh on the
question as to Mr.. Turner'S reelection
to congress and his promotion to United
States senator.
There is no dissatisfaction among the
democrats of this section.
The populists win not be able to elect
their ticket in any county for county Of
fcers. Their full strength was shown at
the October election. and many have lost
faith in the party and renowned it.
The small vote given in the last election
by the democrats in Georgia will have
its good effect upon the democracy in
this district in the congressional election
on Nov, 6. Those who failed to vote
then will most likely take pleasure in
coming to the polls to cast their vote
for Judge Turner
Judge Turner's great popularity in this
district accounts for his being much
sought after in every county during the
campaign to deliver speeches upon the
principles of pure democracy. He has
repeatedly declined such invitations, be-
lieving that his services were needed
more particularly elsewhere, and know
ing that his friends here would protect his
interests in the race for congress. To
the qualification of his friends, after re-
ceiving cordial invitations to do so. Mr..
Turner consented to make some half
a dozen speeches in his district during the
campaign. The last of these speeches
will be made Saturday night in this place.
Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 49, Yesterday the
Constitution contained an article marked
as a special from Waycross headed,
Trouble in the Eleventh." in which it
was stated that Hon. Henry G. Turner
had paid little attention to the congress
sional campaign in his district and that
the party was not in good shape in some OF
the counties in that district.
To-day the Journal publishes the fol-
lowing indignant protests against this at
tempt to injure Mr., Turner in his senate
rial campaign:
sFXVaVcrOee Tho s,,ocia1 a.,
the Constitution of yesterday captioned,
Trouble in the Eleventh" is a fake. and
has no foundation in cruth. Mr.. Turner
has been in this district continuously
since oct. Is. Brand the whole business
lie. The Waycross Herald.
Valdosta, Ga, Oct 49, 49, The alleged
Especial from Waycross in yesterday S
Constitution is an unmitigated fake and
a tissue of misrepresentation Mr.. Tur-
ner has been continuously in his district
working for the party since Sept H.
against the advice of his very many
friends, who wanted him to visit other
portions of the state. At the close OF
this week he win have spoken in fifteen
counties in his district

Brunswick, Ga. Oct 19-The specia
from Waycross in Yesterdays Constitu
ton as to disaffection in the democratic
ranks in the Eleventh district in regarC
to Congressman Turner is baseless am
erroneous. Throughout this section MIR
Turner is as much honored and admired
by his constituency as any representativ,
in congress as has just been so well at
tested by a unanimous denomination. II,
has co-operated in every possible wa
with those locally interested to have al
republicans removed from office. and Their,
are but few left in office in the district
He is now simply doing his duty to hi
party and his constituency and making ;
vigorous campaign i'm his district and h,
will get a rousing majority in Glyni
county and the balance of the district
