The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-04-09
The GubeynafO71aI Memory.

The human memory is, prOverb1ally,
tickle Jade; but we have seldom seen her
play such shabby tricks with great man
as she has recently done with Governor
Hoke Smith.
All, what time he did have forgetting,
remembering, denying and explaining, on
that matter of the use of light wines and
beer" If anybody but Governor had
got himself so mixed up on that subject
an unchartable and wicked world would
have said that he had been indulging in
too much of both the tipples which he
recommended.
But the latest trick played upon the
Governor by his capricious memory, is on
that matter of the early primary. His
campaign, in 1906, resounded with denun-
Citations of the political wire-workers who
manipulated things in the interest of those
who are in office by taking snap judg-
ment, at an early primary. So late as No
vember II, 1907, Governor Smith was hot
ly denouncing this favorlte maneuvre OF
the wire-pulling ringsters.
The Jeffersonian, astonished at the
Governors change upon this matter, as
upon several others, made the point on
him, and endeavored to find out why it
was that the Governor had joined the
Ringsters and was now favoring the
early primary.
In his Waycross speech the Governor
(who seems to spend most Of his time
away from his office and post of duty,
declared that he had never denounced
primary called so late as June.
1t was the April primary that Hoke
Smith, the candidate for Office, objected
to-not one on the 4th of June.
So?
Let us do Holle Smith no injustice. Let
us refer to the record and refresh our
memories as to what he did say. Clearly,
he himself has forgotten.
Turning to the speech he made at Nc
Rae, only five months ago, we find Gov
ernor Smith using this identical Ian
guage:
"There are men now running for the
LEGISLATURE when the first session of the
Legislature under existing laws at which
they expected to serve, will not meet until
the summer of 1909.
81 AM OPPOSED TO ELECTING
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-04-09

did not go to the place with the intention
of killing the woman, for he had made an
appointment on a business matter tor that
afternoon. He did this when he was on
his way to the mill to see the woman. In
the heat of passion he did kill her, and
thus committed horrible crime. 1t never
entered my head that he should not be
punished for it, It never entered my head
to ask Governor Smith to pardon him.
But inasmuch as Glover had once been
partly instrumental in saving my lite,
when it was menaced by the ruflans who
were in the pay Of the Augusta ring, en-
deavored to save his when the same ring
sters were bent upon putting him to
death, more on account Of his having been
an obnoxious Populist than because Of
his having killed bad woman. More
over, I knew from an acquaintance OF
twenty years, that Glover was not man
of sound mind. The physicians who ex-
amined him officially reported to the Gov
ernor that he was not a man Of sound
mind. Therefore it seemed to me that
sentence to hard labor for life in the Peni-
tertiary in Glover's case would meet
every requirement of justice, That much
I very earnestly requested, and when l.
went away from the Governors office he
must have known that did SO believing
that my prayer you'd be granted. What
changed his mind afterwards, I do not
know.
Hereafter, when Governor Smith and
his friends have occasion to refer to the
Glover case, I trust that they will not use
the word pardon, for it is altogether mis-
leading. Let Governor Smith state the
plain and simple truth, that urged him
not to pardon Glover, but to commute the
sentence to Imprisonment for life in the
Penitentiary.
It was in another case, that Governor
Smith was asked to grant pardon. That
was the Walline case, in which an unmar-
ried man, by his indecent behavior in the
sight of married woman, compelled that
lady to request her husband to remon-
strate with Walline; and when this hus
band did demonstrate with the young man
for the indecency of his conduct Walline
killed him. That was the case in which
the Governor was asked for pardon, and
he granted it. Wa1line had served but
three wears for his terrible crime
AS to the Glover case being the sole
motive for my criticisms of Governor
Smiths administration the files of the JEFF
fersonian show how unfounded that state
ment is.
Long before the Glover case came up,
the Jeffersonian was calling attention to
the shortcomings and plumbers of Gov
ernor Smith.

THE JEFFERSO N1AN.
LEGISLATORS FOR THE SESSION
OF 1909 UNTIL THE SESSION OF
1908 rs OVER"

1908 rs OVER"
Those were his words in his speech Of
November II, 1907. Nothing said about
April; nothing about May; nothing about
June He announced a principle-a
sound principle-that candidates for the
legislature ought not to be elected IN
primary called before the session of 1908
is over.
Tn other words the people should not
be asked to choose the men for the Leg1s-
lature Of 1900, until the Legislature of
1908 is over. The reason is obvious; the
people should know how their members
have conducted themselves during their
first terms in office before being called
upon to give them a second term.
To re-elect members before their term
of service has been completed is III prac-
teal effect, to give them four-year term
instead of a two-year term. And, Of
course, this kind of system violates the
Constitution.
When members are elected on June A,
1908, to serve in the Legislature of 1900,
the very thing which Governor Smith
said he was opposed to will have been
done.
Therefore, in favoring the early pri-
mary of June 4, it must be apparent to
all that Governor Smith has gone back on
what he said during the campaign of
1906 and in his speech of November,
1907.
The question is Why has Governor
Smith changed his position so materially
on such a very important matter? An
other question is: Why did he, at Way
cross, forget that he had opposed the
early primary on the principle that it was
