After he had left the mayor sat

This final argument was decisive

The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-12-03

Your strong fight for white suprem-
acy and Southern independence had
the effect of turning a great number
of votes away from Bryan and his
negro policy, which you would have
undoubtedly received had you stood
any chance Of election to the Presi-
dency. This vote went to Taft for the
double purpose Of discrediting Bryan
in Georgia and at the same time
turning the electoral vote to
Taft should it be needed for his sue
cess. AS it turned out, Taft did not
need Georgia's vote, and Bryan's ne
gro affiliations are so we'll known in
the South that his Southern friends
won't have courage enough left to
speak his name above a whisper.
Excuse the length Of this letter.
I have been wanting so much to
talk to you, that when [ got started
on paper my pen ran away with me.

IN Atlanta that can lie some, we have
missed our guess if the Chinese
editor is striving for a headmark
along the lines of lie some, he had
best steer clear of Atlanta. I am not
much stuck on the campaign button or
badge question, but I will give %
cents toward Mr.. Watson s having an
emblem made to be worn by the i'm
mortal $4,000 who stuck to him
through this last campaign. And
only those to have them who call for
them by letter to Mr.. Watson, and
send the names of those who wanted
them. One reliable person could send
many names, and by that means we
could find who our friends were in
each county and how many. And,
perhaps, unearth fraud in many
places. Let the contributions be vol
untary. And all who braved the
storm have an emblem free.

Dear Sir: Enclosed please find one
dollar to renew my subscription to
the two Jeffersonians for six months
Just let it begin where I quit off when
my subscription ended and send me
the back numbers, as [ do not want to
miss any; I am having them bound
for my library. [ have carefully
treasured up every number, beginning
with the Tom Watson Magazine, pub
lished in New York. Do [ owe you any
thing on past subscription of either
Jeffersonian? IF so, please render the
bill. You shall have an order soon for
all of your published works. [ have
read them, and shall teach my chill
dren to revere the author and study
his great books. You do not know it,
because I have never told you, but [
have looked to you for political guild
ance for many years, running back
to the memorable days Of the old
Farmers Alliance in Georgia. I was
a young man then; [ had high ideals,
and enthusiasm plus. Seeing so
much corruption in politics, and the
reins in the hands of dunghill politi-
clans, [ yearned for brave and gal
liant leader, faithful to trust, honest
to a penny, true as tempered steel, a
fighter to the last breath, and [ found
him, and [ have been following him
proudly ever since. Mine has been an
humble part, but proudly executed.
Talents differ But to the best of my
strength, while marching in the ranks,
/ have upheld the principles of Jeffer
son Democracy, for which you have
fought so hard and often. Sometimes
insults were offered me instead of
arguments. The road has been long
and rocky, and many time the light
grew dim along the way, but | am
not tired nor afraid. Don't give up
the fight. Success will be ours, must
be ours.
Your gallant fight has already ac-
complished much. Prohibition is
here. The negro is disfranchised and
removed from politics. The country
people are reading more and inform
ing themselves on the vital issues,
thanks to your rural free delivery.

ability he does.
The Jefersonians, both weekly and
monthly, are great comfort to me,
and I don't see how any true re-
former can feel that his periodical
file is complete without both your pa
pers.
So, Mr. Watson, by all means let
us keep up the fight, with you in the
lead, and fully believe that success
will crown your efforts. And If you
should not live to see the fruits OF
your labor, future generations will,

UNQUENCHED BY DEFEAT.
John Terrell.

Thomas, Ala, Nov. 10, 1908.
Dear Mr.. Watson: I must confess
that when the result Of the election
in Georgia was announced, I was very
much disappointed, and, in fact, felt
almost like giving up in despair; for
I had observed all through the cam
paign with what enthusiasm your
large audiences greeted you, and how
earnest you had been in contending
for true Jeffersonian princi Piles, I felt
sure that the spirit of independence,
Of the old parties, was going to assert
itself, and lead the way for a revo-
luton in our national politics. But
we found the voters of the "dear old
State' had not a fill of the "fesh
pots of Egypt" and instead of going
to the polls and asserting their rights
as freemen, they must rally to the
old-time party, and, regardless of
who heads the ticket or what the
platform, advocates, cast their vote
all the same. [ did feel indeed
gloomy over the situation, and felt
that we, as Jeffersonians, had just
as we'll chang our harps on the will
low" But after more seriously view
ing the result, and many later obser
vations, I am ready to answer your
question in The Jeffersonian Of the
18th inst, and say no, we have a just
cause and a clean party, and we can
not afford to cease fighting for prin-
ciple SO dear to the people.
I feel that the last election is, in
many respects, reform victory. 1t
shows that independence of thought
and action is beginning to assert
it's power, and while the reform
vote was comparatively small one,
it shows the people are thinking as
never before. We should all remem-
Der that "They who hold out faithful
to the end shall be saved" We have
many faithful ones yet. Even In my
own State, where we made practl-
cally no campaign, we secured right
good scattering vote, an average OF
about twenty-five to the county. And
we have much more than that num-
Der who have not proven faint heart
ed, but are true and brave, mighty
men, like Gideon's band. And [ fully
believe that we will one day succeed
in our great work. I am fully salts

 Saturday. November 14th, Clifton will be represented by basket ball team, the first she has ever known; the Big Five look fit to down their opponents from Morenci and we be- ieve after the last whistle is sounded by the referee, Clifton's sons will be the winners.
 Now Clidonites! You who have not gotten old sitting around think ing of petty troubles, be at Pretty mans hall Saturday night, cheer for Clifton or for Morenci. if you must, but cheer: the long breaths will do you good.
 Clifton will be represented by Gar wood, Fehrman, Longwell, Mason and Ramey.
 Then too, there is a movement uu- der way to organize a foot ball team, the sole purpose being to play one game with Morenci.
 We have the material, if the sup port is forthcoming by the people, s) it is up to everybody to lend helping hand.
 Dr. Goodrich and Captain Reisinger h we signitied willingness in help ing the eleven by their coaching, and sIrely we can round out a winner if all the boys turn odt for practice.
 Remember it is only with enthusi a7m on the part of our townspeople that these teams will be able to show their best strength.
