state that it was understood that !

Populists and Republicans should

absolutely without foundation in fact,
and pure fiction. This is but a
sample of the false statements con.
tanned in this article.
The Populists have put out an
electoral ticket for Bryan and Wat
son, and this ticket will get every
loyal Populis.'s vote in Georgia.
Any statement that there has beer
