HON. THOMAS E. WATSON TO
BISHOP w. A. GAMBLER.
Editor Constitution ::

Editor Constitution -
When bishop gets kink in his
record, it is natural that he should
worry over it. Bishops, after all,
are but human. That Dr. Gambler is
sadly vexed because of my good-hu-
mored reference to the mistake he
made in 1896, is apparent to every
body. His vexatiOn is just as evil

card in your issue Of July ~, beg
to say few things.
/. I am glad to see he is In such
an amiable frame of mind; it well be-
comes him, and I hope he may ac-
uuire the habit of amiability. But
he should also cultivate the habit of
accuracy Of statement. In his
"Weekly Jeffersonian" he said of
me "the open saloon received the
benefit of his powerful influence in
that campaign" (the campaign of
1896). My card first printed in the
summer of 1896, and reprinted in
your issue Of July q, shows that the
open saloon received no benefit of my
influence, but on the contrary, that
l publicly and emphatically declared
myself in favor Of local option, state
prohibition, constitutional amend
ment or any other method which
would effectually close the saloons.
Mr.. Watson knows that neither In
1896, nor at any other time, did the
open saloon ever receive the benefit
of my influence. If he desired to be
accurate he should have said that
his party could not secure the benefit
of my influence, and that he and his
party associates could not use me for
their partisan ends. That is the
point of his grievance against me.
2. [ am delighted to be assured
by Mr.. Watson that he voted the
"dry" ticket when his own county
McDufie was carried for prohibition
some twenty years ago. Although l
was very actively and continuously
engaged in that campaign, from its
beginning to it's end, I never knew
before how Mr.. Watson voted. In
those days prohibition was not as
popular as it is now, and when some
of us, without political hopes or
fears to move US, were fighting for
it on the naked issue of its right
eousness, so far as I now remember
Mr.. Watson did not help us with one
speech in public nor one line in the
press. Like Brer Fox, "he lay low
and kept on saying nothing" But
I am glad to have his assurance now
that he voted "dry," and 1 believe
he did. I feel little like making
prayer for him like one I heard a
pious old negro make in revival
meeting for his fckle young master.
For months before the meeting his
"Marse John" was very lukewarm,
not to say badly backslidden, but in
the revival he warmed up to the
shouting point. The old negro watch
ed from a rear seat, in the church
the exultant movements of the re-
turning prodigal until at last, unable
to restrain himself, he arose and went
forward, exclaiming as he grasped
the shouter's hand, "God bless you,
Marse Johnl l is so glad de good
Lord dcne glib you dis big blessin.
I do shore hope it will last you clean
past next Christmasl" I do hope
Mr.. Watson may continue in the grace
Of temperance, and then that he may

tone of his interview.
A prohibition Democrat was a can
didate for governor in 1896, and the
main feature of his platform was
the anti-barroom plank. Many pro-
hibition Democrats in Georgia gave
their hearty support to the candidate.
and the platform; DR.. Gambler did
not When the newspapers announc-
ed that he, like Walter B. Hill, and
so many other prohibitionists, was
going to support the Hon. Seaborn
Wright, DR.. Gambler hastened into
print to deny the charge, and to de-
cry the effort to get prohibition III
that way.
Not only was the card which Bishop
Gambler published positive repu-
diation Of the statement that he would
support the prohibition candidate
for governor, but it was a condemna-
tion of the campaign itself.
Not content with refusing his sup
port, DR.. Gambler strongly expressed
his opposition.
Not satisfied with negative, he
took positive position, and that po-
sition was antagonistic to the prohi-.
bition candidate for governor.
The bishop in the innocence Of his
heart, actually republishes the card
of 1896, in which he dealt the prohi-
bition candidate and campaign such
staggering blow. From one end
of the line to the other, Seaborn
Wright's supporters felt the hurtful
influence of DIR. Candler's antag-
onism.
To this all will agree.
Now, when The Jeffersonian stat
ed that in the campaign of 1896,
the open saloon got the benefit of
DIR. Gambler influence" the bishop
squirms.
But, if the open saloon did not get
the benefit of DR.. Candler's infu-
ence in the campaign Of 1896, who
didq
The anti-saloon element was back
ing Seab Wright; the saloon element
was fighting him, and DIR. Candle Ell
came out with card dealing Seab
Wright a smashing blow; yet the
bishop is nettled when The Jeffer-
sonian says that the saloons got the
benefit of his influence.
If the saloons did not get it, what
went with it9
When good, honest prohibition
ist, like Bishop Gambler, cannot see
his way to voting the prohibition
ticket, just because the populists in
dOrse the candidacy of prohibition
Democrat, he must not become ruff
fled when that mistake afterwards
bobs up and posters him.
Mistakes are aggravating scamps
and they have not that respect f.
bishops which well-bred errors ought
to have. One of these irreverent mis-
takes will tease and fret a bishop,
just as though he were no better than
anybody else. And it sometimes hap
pens that bishop, teascd and both

bishop further tnan 10 REMIND MIN
that in any campaign, where prohibit
ton is the issue, the barrooms get
the benefit of the influence of those
who repudiate the prohibition cam
didate.
No matter how pure may be the
motive, nor how forcible the reasons
of those good, honest prohibitionists
who cannot see their way to voting
the prohibition ticket, in that elec-
ton, the fact remains-and it is for
ever a fact--that the barrooms get
the benefit Of the influence of those
prohibitionists in that election.
IF the bishop and his pious old
negro can get around that clincher
they will have to ''get up early in
the morning.
And when bishops, who are also
prohibitionists, cannot see their way
to voting the prohibition ticket, they
must expect to be smiled at when
they write such sentences as these:
II do hope Mr.. Watson may con-
tinue in the grace Of temperance.
He might be very useful If he would
undertake to serve faithfully and un-
selfshly his generation according to
the will Of God"
Amen. Being a somewhat older
man than Bishop Gambler, can lis
ten to his good counsel with appre-
ciative urbanity. Nevertheless, J
was mighty sorry, in 1896, that
good, honest prohibitionist, like Dr..
Gambler, could not get his consent
to help me and Seab Wright and
Walter Hill fight the barrooms.
In spite of his fatherly interest il
me, evidenced by his card, the bishop
could not take my word for my own
record. His postscript, indeed, al
most backslides from the friendly
tone of the card itself. Somebody
from Thomson, it seems, has been
giving the bishop "inside dots"
There is prematurely gray-head-
ed man living i'll Macon who could
have told Bishop Gambler to bev
how he used these "inside dots"
from Thomson. Before you do any,
thing of the kind again, bishop, con-
fer with Pendleton, of The Tele-
graph.
The well-meaning, but woefully
misled bishop refers to the Hawes-
Stovall campaign of 1884. Why, my
dear bishop, the big fight for prohi-
bitior in McDufie county was made
in 1873. Hon. H. C. Roney was thu
prohibition candidate. That was the
first election at which l was old
enough to vote, and l voted the pro.
hibitien ticket.
Never have | voted any other. In
the campaign of 1896, l heartily sup
ported DR.. Halves and voted FOR him.
We were not only together in that
campaign, but to the day of his death
DR.. Hawes was my friend.

IN the Legislature. 1t is this: w atch,
as the issue comes to the close, the
tricks Of the anti-prohibitionists.
They will, when it is evident that they
cannot prevent the passage of the
bill, seek to mar and MAIN it. Do
not allow them to amend it so as to
make it too lax to be Of any value.
On the other hand, do not allow them
to tack on to it any extreme fea-
lures that will render it impractical
BILE and unpopular when the law is
put in operation. If they are as skill
full as they generally are, they will
try both these tricks. when they see
all attempts to defeat the bill out
right are vain. Give Georgia good,
safe and sane prohibition law, de-
formed neither by compromise nor
fanaticism, but sober and sound in
its own provisions and well adapted
to make all the people who live un-
der it sober, healthy, prosperous and
pious. God bless dear old Georgia
and all her people!
w. A. GAMBLER.
Atlanta, Ca, July %, 1907.
P. S.-Since the foregoing was
written / have received a letter
from a friend we'll acquainted
with the history of political events
in McDufie county since I was
engaged in the prohibition campaign
there. From that letter l make the
following extract:
"In 1884 Mr.. George P. Stovall
ran for the legislature in McDufie
county. Mr.. Stovall was a popular
gentleman and it was thought he
would have no opposition, but he
came out in card announcing his
intention to procure the repeal of
the prohibition law of McDufie
county if elected. This aroused the
prohibitionists and they put DR.. f. g..
Hawes in The race on an avowed pro-
hibition platform. Mr.. Watson did
not vote for DR.. Hawes, and in no
way lent him aid in the campaign.
So if Mr. Watson refers to the cam
paign Of 1884 when he says, land
at the grand roundup on election day
there [ was among the sheep and not
among the goats, then he is in error.
l cannot say Mr. Watson voted for
Mr.. Stovall, but he did not vote for
DIR. Hawes, although he was in town
that day."
So it appears that if Mr.. Watson
has not been "among the goats" he
has been just a little bit "sheep-
ish" about prohibition in his own
home county. | do not quote this
to tease Mr.. Watson, nor to cast a
doubt on his profession of devotion
to the prohibition cause now. If he
says he is "dry," 1 shall accept his
statement-at least as long as the
present "dry spell" lasts, and until
l have good reason to believe his po-
itical humidity is unquestionably es
tablished. w. A. G..

-FOUR W0RKMEN
LOSE LIVES BY
ELECTRIC SHOCK

New York. June 21.-Four Italian la
borers were shocked 10 death and two
others rendered unconscious last night,
when a steel boiler which the men were
moving on a fiat car came In contact with
a group OF electric light wires in the yards
of the Proctor e Gamble Soap Manufac-
tory at Mariners Harbor, staten Island.
The boiler was being transferred from
one building to another over the yard
railway that led between two poles and
under the wires OF the Richmond Light
and Railway Company.
Seven Italians composed the moving
gang Four of the mwere pushing with
both hands against the boiler. while the
others held their hands on the wooden
truck OF the car. They failed TO observe
that the stack towering high above the
boiler would not clear the wire above and
pushed their load against the obstruc-
ton.
AS the stack touched the wires seven
OF the 10 snapped. while 5000 volts Of cleo
tricity passed through the boiler. against
which the hands of four of the men were
pressed. These men dropped dead. Dang
ling ends OF the broken wires struck two
other men. hurting them senseless TO the
ground Late last night they had not re-
covered consciousness. The seventh man
escaped injury. When he saw what had
ha ppened 10 his companions he fed Two
foremen In charge OF the yard work were
arrested.
