WILL BREAK UP ASSOCIATION

The circular just issued by Col.
Peek announcing that he will ad-
dress the citizens of Rockdale
county in the interest of Hon. Hoke
Smith for Governor and on the out
look for cotton from the stand
point of the National Executive
Committee of the Southern Cotton
Association is provoking consider
able comment. 1t is of course well
known that Col. Peek was the
Populist candidate for Governor
against William j. Northern.
There is no doubt of course Of
the right of Col. Peek to talk to
the people in favor of the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Smith and of the out
look for cotton from any stand
point he pleases, but it would seem
as if the Southern Cotton Associa-
ton would seriously object to hay
ing him use its name in the inter
est of Mr.. Smith or any other can
didate.
The success of the association
will depend largely upon its keep
ing out of politics. 1t may be said
that Peek didn't bring it into poll
tics.
Whatever his intentions were
the great majority of those who
read his circular doubtless felt
that they were to hear a speech
from him in which reasons would
be given why the farmers should
support Mr.. Smith. There was
no occasion for bringing Mr.. Smith
and the Southern Cotton Associa-
ton together in a circular adver-
Using series of political address
es.
The organizers of the Southern
Cotton Association started out
with the idea that it should be
kept out of politics. They knew
if it were to get mixed up in poll
tics it wouldn't have very long
existence. Other farmers organi-
cations that started out well, flour
ished until they got into politics,
and then they went to pieces.
The Cotton Association has had
the support of the newspapers, and
banks and individuals have been
liberal in their contributions to it,
but if it should permit itself to be
used to support one of the guber-
material candidates in this state
efforts would be made to use it
for political purposes in other
states, AS consequence the as
ISOLATION would soon be divided in
to factions, and then the end would
come.
Col. Peek made a mistake in
bringing the association into the
gubernatorial campaign. If he
wants it to live and thrive he will
withdraw his circulars, and in the
future keep his gubernatorial pref
erence separate from his Southern
Cotton Association addresses.

There are many thousands OF
Democrats who hold no office and
who do not expect or seek office,
but who do feel an interest in the
party and hold it's welfare to be OF
more Importance than the personal
fortunes of those who hold or seek
office. 1t is to these that the par
ty must look for its preservation
from those who would control OF

SMITH DECLINED TO ANSWER

If there is any lingering doubt in
the public mind of the existence OF
a political compact between Hoke
Smith and Tom Watson, the arch
enemy of democracy, it need no
longer exist. At Cummings, Ca,
on Tuesday gentleman in the au-
dience there addressed by Mr..
Smith arose and asked him the di-
rect question whether he would
vote for Senator Bacon or Tom
Watson, the populist, for United
States senator, in the event Wat
son became a candidate. Mr..
Smiths audience was composed
very largely of Populists, and he
dared not offend them by denying
allegiance to their Messiah. He,
therefore, refused point blank to
chose between democracy and pop
ulism, only saying that he hoped
no such contingency would arise.
Will the white democrats Of Geor-
gia support man for Governor
who cannot decide between Angus
tus o. Bacon, the statesman, and
Tom Watson, the villifer of the
white race in the South, for the
exalted Office of United States sen
ator.
