was reelected governor In 1883 and in
1893 made his first race for senator,
only to be beaten. He was again
elected governor in 1895 and was for
the second line beaten for senator the

senator in his third race for that Office.
During the campaign for governor
in which Bob and ALT were the oppos-
ing candidates the brothers were
speaking from the same platform. 1t
was Alf's turn in the debate when he
was interrupted by a half drunken fell

jumped up and, leaning owe the rail
Of the platform, shouted: Don't you
dare to open your mouth again, you
scoundrel! This is my brother. and
if you abuse him you've got me to

loafer left the meeting swearing at the
pass into which politics had come at
last when a man couldn't "cuss'' the
opposing candidate without 'rillng' his
own choice.

CLEOF0NTE CAMPANINI.
Conductor at Manhattan Opera
House Brother Of Famous Singer.

Everybody who has heard opera at the new
Manhattan Opera House knows that Cleofonte
Campanini is a most capable conductor The
a6fectives OF the critics have been lavished upon
him. and he is nightly called before the curtain
hand IN hand with the singers. to bow TO the
applause. But few persons who are not ION the
inside" the phrase goes. can know to what
extent he is the ruling genius OF Mr.. Hammer
uein's house, how much the success Of this new
oDerauc venture is due to him But see him
conduct one rehearsal, and doubt is no longer
possible.
Cannpanini has full sway. at the Manhattan.
Mr. Hammerstein has just re-engaged him for
three years more. and made him virtually the
director OF the house. The repertory is in his
hands the selection Of singers the conduct OF
rehearsals, the direction of the majority of per
forrnances. What operate performance is at
the Manhattan he in large measure makes il.
AS a result, CampaninI quite naturally feels n
uersonel pride in the success OF the house; he
takes as much pleasure in the popular indorse-
rent Of the new venture almost as Mr.. Hammer
stein himself. He and the irnpresario are alike
which S. perhaps another argument for Ham
nerstelns wisdom. ITO give grand opera. first
get your conductor" was his motto.
How complete is Campaninfs dictatorship is
best illustrated by an incident at a recent re-
hearsal, when Nine. Media singing. The

Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-06-27
Railroad Diplomacy.

Wise in their generation are the Northern
millionaires who are plundering the South.
Almost without exception, these foreign own
ers OF the corporations which are robbing us
so numerically have been shrewd enough to
buy up Southern men to put in charge of the
Job This makes it more difficult for the South
to resist the Northern marauders. The South
ern Sepoys who have sold themselves to the
service of our Yankee oppressors naturally
know better how to manipulate Southern in
fuence than any foreigner could learn to do
it. Each one of these sold-out Sepoys is an
able man, else he would not have been worth
buying. Being of capacity, and having
his personal connections, and being familiar
with the locality in which his service is to be
rendered, he can make himself worth his price,
and can make the task of the honest reformer
difficult.
Consider, for instance, the case of Hamp
Of course, | mean Hamp McWhorter. This
very smooth article is one of the most valu-
able Of the assets of the Northern corporations
that are plundering the South. With natural
tact and diplomacy seldom surpassed, this man,
who was a commonplace lawyer, and mighty
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-06-27

poor judge, has developed into strictly first
class Lobbyist and Corruptionist
Having demonstrated his fitness for corpo-
ration service Hamp became corporation
fixture. The Southern Railroad would no
more think of trying to get along without
Hamp than it would think of discarding the
alr-bi AXE and the sand-pipe Hamp "stays
put" He is there to stay.
Feeling certain of this, Hamp located him
self in Athens. In the language of the SOL
dier, Athens is a strategic position. On ac-
count of several things, Athens is the best
place for Hamp and Hamp's work.
Among other advantages which the position
offered was that of being the Home of our
State University. To this great school, flock
every year hundreds of the boys of the best
families of Georgia and her sister states. From
this school will go forth the 7 ung men who
will hci eater exert powerful influence over the
public opinion of their day, over legislation,
over judicial decisions, over governmental pol
icieS
What could better answer the purpose of
the able and far-seeing Hamp than.to pitch
his tent in Athens where he could come in
personal contact with these important young
men? Think Of the seemingly innocent ways
in which a man of Hamp's tact and diplomacy
and RESOURCES, can make himself popular
aomng the school-boys! Think of the atten-
tions, social and otherwise; the adroit batteries
and Establishments the numberless little cour-
tesies and favors extended; the golden
opportunities for pouring into the ears
and minds of unsuspecting college students the
subtle and unscrupulous suggestions Of the
permanently employed lobbyist!
Verify, the Yankees acted 'cutely when they
bought Hamp; and Hamp acted 'cutely when
he settled in Athens.
AS example of how such a man gets in
his work, see how Hamp managed to import
a railroad lawyer-of the Southern Railroad, at
that-to make the Commencement speech for
the State University this year!
The Faculty chose, for the Orator of the
occasion, one Alfred Thorn, General Counsel
for J. Pierpont Morgan's corporation
Had anybody ever heard of Thorn as pub
lie speaker? Was there any demand for Thorn?
From what quarter came the whispered sug-
gestion that Thorn was the man to fill the bill
Thorn who lives in Washington City-Thom
who is General Counsel of the law-breaking
robber-combine known as the Southern Rail
road-Thom the immediate superior-officer of
Hamp McWhorter?
| do not know that Hamp worked the rabbit
foot in this business but have no more doubt
that the procurement of that invitation to
Thorn was the result of Hamp's Vaccinations
than have of the fact that Hamp McWhorter
and Jim Smith of Oglethorpe are the only two
men who ever made money on "Tea Culture"
in Georgia.
Chancellor Barrow manfully took upon him
self the sole responsibility for the selection of
Thom as Commencement Orator, but he did
not explain how it came to pass that his mind
fixed itself upon Thorn as the fttest man to
speak to the boys on that occasion.

gogues who are standing up for the law as it
is written, it is wonder to me how the poor
Demagogues can consent to continue to live.
I am surprised that the last single one of them
does not take Rough on Rats, and go off and
die.
After Thorn had slowed and slaughtered
and fearfully mangled the. last dad-blamed
Demagogue in sight, he bent all the powers
of his mighty mind to eulogizing Sam Spencer.
Spencer was the President of the Southern
Railroad who refused to obey the law and fix
up his road as the statutes of the land and the
dictates of common prudence required.
And it came to pass, in the mysterious prov
idence of God, that Sam Spencer was ONE of
the thousands of men who fell sacrifice to the
greedy, shameless, heartless, 1aw-defying mis-
management of the Southern Railroad.
Having slain all the Demagogues, and hav-
ing exalted Spencer to the skies, Thorn pro-
ceeded to speak of the great men of whom the
State University was proud.
And the bundering ass put at the head of
the 1ist-who?
ROBERT TOOMBS.
The last and grandest public work done by
General Toombs was that single-handed and
splendidly courageous campaign against tax
lodging, 1aw-defying, corrupting and plunder-
ing corporations which, according to Thoms
paid-for logic, elevated Robert Toombs to the
infamous height of CHIEF OF THE DEMA-
GOGUES!
Isn't This What Mr.. Watson Was
HOOfed For Saying Many Years AgO2
That great Democratic daily, the New York
World, has been trying to find out "What is
Democrat?"
Of course this question involves another,
"Is there any material difference between the
Democratic and Republican parties?"
Populism sprang up as protest against both
these old parties, alleging that there was no
substantial difference between them, and that
both of them were committed to the Hamil-
tonian, rather than to the Jeffersonian, theory
of Government
In pursuing its inquiry, the World has
sought information from Mr.. Bryan, with re-
suits neither enlightening nor satisfactory
Why?
Because with all his readiness and ability,
Mr. Bryan cannot Create a difference which
does not exist.
Both the old parties>are committed to prin-
ciples and policies which make for P1utocracy,
and are utterly destructive of Democracy.
Read for yourself what the New York Dem
ocratic papers saying, and then recall that
for saying the same thing in I8oo Mr.. Wat
son was hooted on the hustings and bounded,
finally, from public life:
IS THERE NO ANSWER?
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-06-27

He knows that his hide would be taken off,
neatly, completely, expeditiously, if he ventur-.
ed to make there assertions so notoriously at
variance with truth.
The Telephone and z elegraph Companies
Along the public roads, you will find the
poles and the wire of these public service cor
porations.
How did they come to have the authority
to enter upon your land, dig holes in your
ground, and set up their poles and wire?
The Legislature said they might do it.
But where did the Legislature get the au-
thority to give away your land to these North
ern corporations?
The Legislature has no such power. The
Constitution forbids the taking of private prop
erty for public use, unless just compensation
has first been paid
The land over which the public road runs,
remains your land. The road-bed, itself, is
yours. The public has nothing but the right
to pass over it, with horses and vehicles The
public enjoys the Easement of travelling
through your land.
In that right, the Legislature and the courts
can and should protect every citizen.
But what has the Easement of travel got to
do with digging holes and putting up Tele-
phone and Telegraph wires?
Nothing.
When the Legislature assumes to grant such
a right it exceeds it's authority, and the cor
porations know it.
Nevertheless, with confident arrogance born
of successful bluff, insolence and usurpation,
those Northern corporations have taken pos
session of the public roads of Georgia, without
saying Turkey" to the owners of the land. In
most cases, not penny of compensation has
been paid.
Therefore, these poles and wires have no
legal right to be on the public road which
runs through your land. If you were to take
your axe and cut down every one of those
poles, you would be doing precisely what you
have the legal right to do. These corporations
are Tresspassers upon your land. Their poles
and wires are there by Trespass. It is you.
lawful privilege to remove the property.
AND THEY KNOW 1T.
They invaded your land and trampled upon
your rights for the simple reason that they felt
sure they could bluff you, AND THAT WAS
A CHEAPER WAY TO GET YOUR LAND
THAN TO PAY FOR IT.
