DRIVEN TO sECTIoNALlsM.

"The South IS sectional, not of it's
own volitlon, but because it has been
driven to it by the course pursued by
the republican party from the presi-
dent down to Orumpacker, says Judge
J. NJ. Chiffon, an old time citizen of
Montgomery, Ala. "We had as we'll
recognize this position and make the
best Of it. In my opinion the South
ought never again, at least for several
years to come, enter national demo-
cratic convention or any sort of nation
al political convention. The southern
States which have been thus driven to
solidifcation should hold a southern
convention and align itself with that
one Of the northern parties which will
promise us most.
"The northern press has the ear of
the world and takes occasion in every
national election to villify the South.
Our .self-respect demands that this op-
portunitY or occasion for gross misrep-
resentation be no longer afforded them.
Let them fight it out with their own
reds and socialists. Let the South give
its aid to that one of the parties which
is least Questionable. In such posi-
tion the South will hold the balance Of
power and it will not be long before
we will be accorded the position and
influence to which we are Justly enti
tied.
The Atlanta Constitution has assert
ed that the South, in respect for itself
ought to put ont a man for the presI
dency and calls for such action at thu
next nominating convention. Th'
Journal, of Atlanta, takes the SAM
view, and continues: "Let the Soutl
remain true to its traditions, true t,
the principles of white supremacy
q to the principles of democracy, an,

ATHENA, MARCH 1s, 19o4

That Reed Smoot could not have been
elected to the senate without having
first been chosen as an apostle Of the
Mormon church and that, after he was
80 chosen, he would have been defeated
had he not had the support Of the
church, was asserted by Judge Ogden
Hiles, assistant United States attorney
from 1886 to 1890 and later a judge Of
the district court OF Utah, who was a
witness in the Smoot case before the
committee on privileges and elections.
An interesting feature of Judge Hiles'
testimony was his declaration that for
mer United States Senator Rawlins was
still Mormon, even though he stood
out against the church on the matter Of
interference in politics. Judge Hiles,
in prefacing his testimony, said he had
drawn more indictments and prosecuted
more cases Of unlawful cohabitation
under the Edmunds-T Tucker act than
any other official in Utah. For the first
two years the people, he said, refused to
obey the law, despite the fact that op-
portunity was given offenders to escape
punishment if they would promise not
to violate the laws in regard to cohab-
itations "The people, sad the witness
'said they must obey the law Of God
rather than the law of man. They
