If Tom Watson holds his vigor
of mind and body for ten years there
will be a revolution in the political
sentiment of the South at the end of
that time. There is no man in the
public eye who is doing more to edu-
cate the masses along sound political
lines than is Mr.. Watson, and the
gist Of all his writings and speeches
is simply to get the masses to think
and act for themselves. While the
"plunderbund" class Mr.. Watson as
wild-eyed theorist, anarchist, So
cialist, and other pet names, the
truth of the matter is, he is simply
commoner Of the first water-one
who is not ashamed of his views nor
the company he keeps. While his
language is strong, his thoughts Wig
orous, his style at times bordering
on the uncouth, still he strikes at the
rotten places in our policies Of gov
ernment like a man who means bust
ness, and is not to be deferred in the
task he has set for himself. Tom
Watson has lived to see many of his
so-called populistic doctrines stolen
by the two great parties, and it
doesn't require much prophetic Wis
ion to predict that his platform will
be adopted in toto within another
decade Clifton Mirror, Tenn. Dem

that day we had twenty-five thousand
pounds of second-class matter, and on
Wednesday twenty-six thousand
pounds. And our clerks were late in
getting it assorted. That was an un-
usual amount. The Department of
Agriculture gave us in one day $500
pounds Of extra matter, and it threw
US behind. This is not likely to oc-
cur again.
We will watch for promptness, and
will try to get the first part of your

CLEVELAND'S MAYORALTY
CAMPAIGN.

Theodore E. Burton is to be the
republican candidate for mayor of
Cleveland in the attempt to defeat
Tom L. Johnson. The republicans
could not have found a stronger can
didate personally and politically with
in the Cleveland corporation limits.
Mr.. Burton was elected last fall to
succeed himself in Congress, where
he has held high place, but appar-
emily he is willing to sacrifice his ma
tional Legislative career, for a while
at least, in the attempt to solve in
his own way the traction problem
which has been worrying his fellow
townsmen for some years.

three copies of the re-arranged mail

close in this a memorandum which
our mailing clerk wrote, simply be-
cause it will show you the interest
that they are taking in the matter.
Now about the delay in the recep-
tion of the papers. I have the testi-

papers were sent to the post-ofTlce, all
of them, on Thursday, and most Of
them by about dinner time on Thurs

Congress Mr.. Burton announced that
in the next Congress he would not be
found in the chief chair in the room
Of the committee on rivers and har-
bors. 1t is just possible that be had
an inkling of the mayoralty matter,
and wanted to give ambitious ones
an opportunity to whisper pleas in
the ear of Mr.. Cannon, for the river
and harbor berth is not one to be de-
spised by any of the office-holding
patriots.
In Congress Mr.. Burton has been
known as the scholar in politics. Or
dinarily this suggests the scholar
rather than the politician, but the
Cleveland man knows politics and
reads men as he knows aud reads
books. Unquestionably he is sincere
in his statement of the conditions on
which will depend his taking the ma
yoralty nomination which has been
offered him, but also unquestionably
one Of the conditions given embodies
the shrewdest political wisdom.
The republicans have been told by
Mr.. Burton that he will accept the
nomination "provided that the plat
form of the party and those who are
to be its candidates will clearly show
the absence Of any alliance or affilia-
ton with any public service corpora
tion, street railway Or other. and
that the problem of the relations of
the municipality to these companies
can, under my leadership, be settled
by the officials elected, with supreme
regard for the interests of the peo-
ple."
It will be hard for Mr.. johnson
TO frame better platform than this.
Mr. Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft have
given a world of encouragement to
Mr.. Burton in his candidacy Nei-
ther the President nor the secretary
would be panied to witness the po-
htical downfall of Mr.. johnson. The
present mayor, however, has shown
that he is fairly sure-footed. Cleve-
land has an interesting and some
what spectacular campaign in pros

Mr.. 1'hos E. Watosn, Thomson, Ga.
Dear Sir: / will give you my idea
on way for the farmers to get Is
cents for their cotton. Ny way is
this: Where they have a warehouse
to store all their cotton it it, form
a company, borrow money on this cot
ton and buy all the cotton they can
when the price is below Is cents,
store cotton, borrow money, and so
on, but quit buying when the price
gets above Is cts. Would they form a
trust by doing this? We would like
to hear from you in the Weekly JET
fersonian, :fs you think it worth an
swering.
Yours truly,
