POpulist Electoral Ticker For
Georgia.

The old order is passing away; Ameri-
can politics is evolving new conditions,
and no man can foretell what day may
bring forth.
The Republican Party is making
herculean effort to throw off the incubus
of negro domination. The white men of
that party are sick and tired of having
to buy the votes of the negro delegations
from Southern States. If the Democratic
leaders would. but try they could make
treaty with the Republicans which
would forever free the whole country of
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-08-27


But the Bryanties are so crazy to put
their fat friend in the White House that
all considerations of patriotism are sent
to the rear, and craftsmanship plays no
part in the national campaign.
TO crafty his morbid personal am
bition, which has almost reached the
stage Of monomania, Bryan is dickering
and dealing with the negroes, knowing
that his course will compel Taft to make
concessions to conciliate the blacks, and
that the net result of the competition be-
tween himself and Taft for the negro vote
will be the increase of the power of the
negro politician.
Just how far Bryan can 60 with his
policy of niggerizing the Democratic
party before the South will revolt, can
not be foretold.
The negro circular which is being
broadcasted over the country will open
the eyes of thousands of white Demo
Gratis.
The recent act of the Georgia legisla-
ture which pOstpones the disfranchise-
ment law, SO that the Hokeites and Bry-
antics can use the negroes in the Novenl-
Der election to beat the Populists, will
cost them many an honest Democratic
vote.
On account of the peculiar condition
of things, Mr.. Watson requested the Pop
ulist State Convention to postpone the
selection of electors for our State ticket
The Convention did so, and authorized
him to choose the names.
For several reasons, it was advisable
to await developments. 1t was known
that many Democrats favored the Popu-
list nominees If we could get some new
names for our electoral ticket-strong
men who had not been with us before
SO much the better.
Besides, the Hearst party was in the
field, with the name ora former citizen
of Georgia on it's presidential ticket
1t was advisable to wait and see how
much splash was made as this new
boat struck the water.
There was much to gain and nothing
to lose by going slow and awaiting de-
velopments.
This was exactly what Mr. Watson
had in mind when he asked the Conven-
ton to "leave-it all to him." AS the Con
ventiOn readily agreed to do so, we trust
that no true-hearted Populist will find
fault.
The electoral ticket will appear in full
time to answer every possible purpose,
and it will be made up of the best ma
terial available.

Common Honesty, and Georgia
Politics.

Politics.
However much we may differ in other
matters, we should be able to agree, that
HONESTY ought to prevail in politics,
as in business.
Practically all of the qualified white
voters of the state took part in the une
primary. Nobody has claimed that the
result was influenced by fraud, bribery or
intimidation. The defeated candidate &C
cepted his defeat without protest. He put
forth no claim that he had been unfairly
beaten.
Therefore, practically all the white vot-
ers of Georgia are bound, I'm HONOR,
to vote for Joseph M. Brown. The man
who took part in the une primary, and
now opposes Brown, is NOT POLITI-
CALLY HONEST.
In like manner, the followers of Smith
and Of Brown are bound to vote for the
adoption of the amendment to the con-
stitution which DISTINGUISHES the negroes
Both sides promised to support the
amendment, both sides got the benefit of
that promise, and both are honor bound
by the pledge.
We say this, in spite of the bad faith
VI bONCllOl OllllIll Ill giving Ills OllIldl
approval to the act of the legislature,
passed few days ago, postponing until
January, 1909, the date on which the dis
reimbursement law shall go into effect.
Burning with resentment against Wat
son, the honorable Hoke has changed the
law upon which he and HardWick and
Watson agreed.
THIS LAW WAS THE CoNDI-
TON UPON WHICH THE HONOR
ABLE HOKE GOT WATSON'S SUP
PORT. The honorable Hoke is now in
the full enjoyment of the results of the
compact, and he has used the power that
came to him as the fruit of the compact
to break his pledge to Watson.
The disfranchisement law, as originally
passed, in 1907, provided that when the
people voted their approval, at the Oc-
tober election, the negroes should be at
once disfranchised. In other words, the
law was to go into effect Immediately.
After Watson's campaign in Georgia
got under way, and after Bryan came
to an understanding with those African

!
could get the negro votes at the Novem-
Der election. HENCE, THE CHANGED
LAW, AND BROKEN COMPACT.
Of course, the Hokeites and Bryanites
mean TO BEAT WATSON BY THE
USE OF THE NEGRO VOTE. The
fear of Populism was the reason why the
Democratic legislatures Of Georgia would
never pass the Hardwick bill Demo
cratic ringsters knew that they would
need the negro vote to overcome white
POpulist majority.
When Watson made the proposition
upon which Hoke Smiths campaign was
based, the disfranchisement question was
vitalized, and it made triumphant cam
paigr The disfranchisement law, as
enacted last year, represented the com
pact which elected Smith, The amend
ment which his official signature makes
a law, represents broken faith political
perfidy, Hoke Smiths selfshness, jeal-
ousy and vindictive malevolence.
Why was the law changed? Did the
people demand it? Were the people con-
suited at all?
Were the people so much as notified
that the Acknowledgement was to be post
poned until the ringsters had used the
negroes against Watson in the NOvem-
Der election?
No. The people did not demand
change, and were not put upon any no
tice.
Crafty politicians, resentful because
Watson had foi1ed their scheme to rob
the country counties of their constitutions
al share of political power, violated the
compact made with Watson, and changed
their own law SO as to give themselves
one more chance to use the negro voters.
WHAT DO HONEST DEMOCRATS
THINK OF A GOVERNOR WHO
DOES A THING OF THIS SORT?
What do they think of a Governor who
gets office by virtue of special compact,
and who uses that office to violate the
terms of the compact?
To our Populist friends we have this
to say: While Hoke has acted in bad
faith and dealt Our cause a foul blow, 90
right ahead, yourselves and vote for dis
reimbursement. BE HONEST-and don't
initiate the bad example that Hoke has
set.

NINE-HOUR LAW

Hearing.

May Be Presented.

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad put
into effect today throughout its system.
the "nine-houF law" which, by it's
terms does not become operative until
Marcn 4 next. The law limits the houts

ticularly locomotive engineers and IRE
men, train dispatchers. railway tegeg-
raphers, towermen, and signal opera
tors.
Recently the Interstate Commerce
Commission was asked by ten or twelve
important systems 10 postpone the time
of the laws going into effect. 1t was
pointed out that aine hours constitute
an unusual and awkward period, as
duties OF that kind have 10 be performed
twenty-four hours every day. IT two
shifts OF train dispatchers, telegraph
operators, and signal men are worked
nine hours each, there would be period
Of six hours in every twenty-fOur, which
could not he covered satisfactf rtly.
IT was indicated that runs Of eight
hours might be better, but for such a
period Of work the men could not
be paid wages which they would regard
a adequate for their needs. In addi-
ton, IT might be difficult 10 obtain
the services OF enough skilled men 20

duties being to plunge into the streams
that surround the baseball grounds and

most intelligent animals Of its species In
existence and that its master Is given a

During the game the dog is stationed
outside Of the ground with its owner and
as soon as q ball strikes the water the
animal lets forth an exultant yelp and
leaps into the water after the ball That
the dog enjoys the work Is evident by
the growls and look Of contempt when
the sound OF the crack Of the bat against
