England, Ark, Sep. 5, 1907
Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.
Dear Sir: I was business agent
of the Alliance stationed at St.
Louis, for over two years, and am
satisfied politics did not hurt, or,
rather, destroy, the order. But the
lack of finance killed it. No order
can be run on wind or an empty
treasury. I warned them, time and
again, that unless they put business
into the order sufficient to raise funds
to provide for necessary expenses, the
order would fail.
The lack of funds destroyed
the Grange, and unless the Farmers
Union supplies its officers with funds
enough to keep it aggressive, it will
fail. Put the sinews of war behind
their officers, and they will conquer,
emancipate themselves, and save the
country.
Your "Gideon's Band" is a reve-
lation to me. I knew Macune and
his bulldog selfshness, and 1 fell in
with precious traitor Livingston,
either in Cincinnati or st. Louis. In
1888 We passed a resolution that no
officer of the Alliance shoul dseek po-
litical Office while holding an office in
the order.
Another reason for its downfall
was the "Cash Buyers Union" and

Dear Mr.. Watson.

Vidalia, Ca, Aug. 2, 1907.
Dear Mr.. Watson;
am your friend, and you know
it. I am a reformer who says so,
it matters not who is hit. This way
the politicians have been pulling
money for the state institutions of
Georgia is shame. | have risen in
my little strength Of two weeklies and
publish this week the enclosed edi-
torial. I have behind me the best
men Of Georgia-the true reformers.
We hope to give the editorial broad
publication and emphasis. I will thank
you to reproduce it in your papers,
and add your own strong endorse
ment and amendment. The truth of
the matter is, the state institutions
ought to be placed upon the same
footing as Mercer and Emory and
the like, that are made to charge tu-
ition to maintain them. I am
warned that I am up against the
politicians in my bold chat. But I
do not fear them. Any help you may
render the cause will be appreciated.
Cordially yours,
E. G. j. DICKENS.
Note: Brother Dickens, we are
with you.

FROY THE PEOPLE

Note: Alex Morris, lifelong and
devoted friend Of Mr.. Watson, got
the blues at Thomson some years
ago, and took up a notion that Bad
Luck had spite against him. Sum-
ming up the situation and prospects
in one sentence: Alex said that he
believed that if he were to start to

with a load Of ice, the whole thing
down there would be frozen over by
the time he arrived.
But he went to Florida, found no
ice to hurt, and soon realized that
he and his apples had reached the
right market. No man that was ever
raised around Thomson had more
friends than Alex Morris, and they
are proud to know that he If ioing

There are over 800 poles bought and
paid for by the city, worth $4,000,

others like it; bought up state sec
retaries to push and promote their
interests, instead of their agencies.
1t was done in this state and Texas,
and as the agents were required to
charge 2 1-2 cents commission on
buying and selling, to be placed to
the credit Of their salaries and Office
expenses, this playing into the
hands of our enemies eventually broke
down the agencies, and the organiza-
tion sank with them.

OPEN LETTER TO GOV. HOKE
SMITH.

Denver, Col, Sep. 4, 1907.
Governor Hoke Smith, Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir: 1 have Just read in the
press dispatches Of today that you
have deAed the Federal Courts of
Georgia permitting the putting into
effect the reduced passenger rates.
You deserve the praise of all honest
people in SO doing. I am an old Un-
ion soldier, and was always q Re
publican until the "Money Question
came up, but no more OF that party
for me, nor Democracy, either, III
that party deserts the silver dollar
and the greenback. I am glad we
brought back the South, now, for 1t
the country is ever saved from the
money monopoly and trust robbers, it
will be done by the South, and we
honor Thos. E. Watson as the great
leader in the South.
In the national bank system is the
nucleus and general source OF all
trusts, and it is the origin Of the
graft, robbery and general corrup-
tion abroad in the land; and all this
has been growing with leaps and
bounds since the system was estab-
lished as a "War Measure" in
1861.
Yours very truly,
JOS. N. STEPHENS,
National Secretary q. s. Monetary
League.

Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.
Friend Watson: Your postal re-
ceived advising me that you will re-
produce my letter on Lamar in your
Weekly Jeffersonian. Many thanks
for same Please publish the revised
list of the men who made national
reputation in Congress during their
first term in said article, which I
enclose you. I wrote the article hur-
riedly, and omitted some names that
deserve mention.
Alex Morris often takes Sunday
dinner with me, and he has convinced
me and quite number Of others, that
you are the ablest man in the United
States, and the best writer. Am
sorry Gov. Vardaman was defeated
Yo uhave certainly cornered the bish
OPT mean Bishop Gambler. enjoy
the nice way in which you handle him.
And Clark Howell has at last sur
rendered and admitted the truth
about you. I shall never forget a
remark Senator Call made to me the
time you refused to go into the
Democratic caucus for speaker of
the house, when you were in congress
and where you belong today. told
the senator that I thought that you
had ruined your political prospects.
He replied, "Perhaps not, that your
action might make you president,
as the reforms for which you were
contending were sure to win in the
end, and it begins to look that you
are headed for the White House. If
important business did not keep me
at home, I would take Alex Morris
and go to Beall Springs on the 22d
and hear you speak. Am sorry that
we cannot be with you, and hear
you preach the true gospel.
With best wishes for you and
yours, I am,
Yours very truly,
J. e. ALEXANDER.

HERE'S A MAN THAT ISN'T
AFRAID.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 6, 1907.
Hon. Thos E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.
My Dear Mr.. Watson: Yours of
late date to hand. I reply, I
will say that I have before put in
large display, and have now put your
copy In the hands Of foreman, with
instructions to reproduce without re-
ducing. / have added combinations,
and my name as agent, and
shall boost it as best I can, for you
are giving us the very best in po-
litical writing, and ! have frequently
said, editorially and otherwise, that
every one interested in better gov
ernment should read your magazine.
Hon. II. L. Loucks, Of Altruria
(old Alliance president) was here on
his way to a physician, and I loaned
him my Watson's Life of Jefferson,
and he pronounced it the best thing
he ever read. He said: "Watson
has found his place; it is as an histo-
rian." I agree, though I am more
than willing to see him the next
Secretary of State.
AS he returned, I let him have for
his evenings reading, Watson's Ma
poleon, and as he took it along with
him, I think he must be absorbed in
it, too.
You will please find herein the
check assigned to you. I cannot ac-
cept money from one who has not
yet got on paying basis in his sac
rifcial labor to educate too unap-
preciative people. The advertisement
will run indefinitely. One Of my
subscribers sent for the magazine;
/ send $3.50, and as soon as have
the required number, I want Wat
son S Story Of France.
In few days I shall go up into
Minnesota to run, for a time at
least, a real estate Office, to see If
there is little money in it.
People admit universally that it
was the work I did on the famous
Kaufman murder case, getting the
traitor Kirby thrown out of the case,
and getting in my old friend Coch
ran, of Logan, Iowa, and his bril-
liant and able son-in-law, George w.
Egan, that brought to a successful
conclusion the prosecution in that
case, and that it was 100000 ad-
vertisement for this city and county,
long cursed by worthless. criminal
compromisers and defenders in the
guise of officers, but they are yet
afraid to do justice to me by plat
ronage-that is all ask-enoueh
to make me good living.

ministration which I fought to the
