BROWN TAKES UP THAT PEN
AND WRITES SOME MORE HARD
SENSE TO THE PEOPLE.
Says There Is Too Much "Me Too"
About Taft, and Gives the Dem
OCrats a CAMPAIGN Tin.

ABOUT laIJ, ana OlVeS the DEM
Ocrats a Campaign Tip.
Hon. Joseph NJ. Brown, democratic
nominee for governor of Georgia,
will be unable to attend a rally to
be held in Atlanta under the au-
spices of the Young Mems Democratic
League, a previous engagement pre-
venting his acceptance of an invita-
ton to be present.
Mr.. Brown, in a letter to the presi-
dent of the league, says that he had
already arranged for a trip through
north Georgia and western North
Carolina, and for this reason he
could not attend.
Mr.. Brown says that indications
seem to point to a democratic victory
in November, and he gives the demo-
Gratis tip on campaign methods.
He says that in Mr.. Taft's letter of
acceptance the republican nominee
keeps referring to President Roose-
yelt's policies. He says the people
do nto like this me too" or re
siduary legatee" policy, and that if
this point is handled carefully it
will be worth thousands of votes to
the democratic party. Mr.. Browns
letter follows
Marietta, Ga, Aug. Is. 1903
Hon. Aldine Chambers, President,
Atlanta, Ga.-Dear Sir: Answering
your favor of August Sth. relative
to the rally on 21st. instant. will
state that l am deeply appreciative
OF the courtesy shown me by the
Young Mems Democratic League
through your committee.
However, l had already arranged
for trip through part of north
Georgia and western North Carolina,
hence will be unavoidably absent
from the state on the date of the
proposed rally
The news from the different sec
tions of the country seem to indicate
a victory for us in November, and
| join you in sincere wishes that this
gratifying result may ensue.
Il trust that in Georgia we NAV
live up to our platform declaration
OF good will and discard the effects
! OF elimination and recrimination in
! Iue ranks OF our party.
Let me, before closing, however.
suggest the following thought as be-
ing worthy the cOnsideratin of your
meeting: Mr.. Taft, the republican
nominee for president. has given us
his letter of acceptance of the nomi-
nation. In that letter he has pur-
sued the usual course of nominees
in subscribing to his party's plat
form; but he has INTRODUCED one nov
ell feature, viz: He refers in several
/ places to President Roosevelt's poll
cies.' He lauds these policies most
highly and seems to think that they
are to be perpetuated because they
! are Presidents RoOsevelts policies.
This is somewhat a new doctrine to
/ be placed before Americans.
The people do not like me too
or 'residuary legatee' policy. They
want man who stands for him
self, The counterfeit is never as
good as the original for the purpose
for which it was made If we must
have either let us have the original
When the people choose an executive
they have the right to demand that
he have his own head on his shouI-
ders and that his administration.
while executing their ascertained
will, have its own individuality.
! The policies which he upholds dur
ing his term of administration shall
be the peoples policies. If the dem
ocrats handle this phase of the great
controversy between the parties with
the skill it merits it will be worth
thousands of votes to them. If they
will apply throughout the Union the
question which rang out from Lin
coin, Neb., and which had already
been made of force locally, viz:
Shall the people ruler we can in
deed confidently look forward to a
result which will crafty all patriots.
Very truly yours,
JOSEPH M RROWN,
