Come to Judgment.

One Seab Wright, political adven-
turer and office seeking demagogue
from Georgia, is quoted as denying
that the defeat of Hoke Smith was IN
any degree defeat OF prohibltionists
in Georgia. Denials from a much more
Trustworthy source would be fan from
convincing. In fact, they would be
useless III face of the facts. The state
ment solicited from Mr.. Brown amounts
to nothing, He would hardly say any
thing else, But the fact remains that
the prohibition organizations III Geor-
gia knew both men aud knew how they
stood. According to the after election
claims of the prohibitionists the candi-
dates stood together on the issue. But
if 80, dear brothers aud sisters, why
did the organization and the prohibit
tion spellbinders line up and take the
field for Hoke Smith? Why did male
and female speakers with leather lungs
pound the air and churn the atmosphere
from Pine Mountain to Tybee in behalf
OF Hoke Smith? What sort of argu-
ment did they make? Did they not
speak in the name of prohibition in be-
half of Smith, and warn prohibitionists
that he was the man to vote for Will
they deny this? If they do so, then
let Ananias go foot.
IL matters less about the candidates
than whom the prohibitionists were
for. II the latter were for particular
candidate, and he was defeated, then
that is black eye for prohibition.
From this logic there is no escape.
Brown was lied about in Georgia by
prohibition speakers just as Patterson
is being lied about In Tennessee. Those

EvanSiteS for CarmaCk.

The Clay Evans republicans, almost
to man, are for Carmack. They hate
Patterson because he gave their idol
such drubbing two years ago, and
they also think that with Carmack as
the nominee the republican candidate
can win in November. They are also
for him because he is standing on their
platform, adopted in 1906, of statewide
prohibition. Newell Sanders, Evans
chief lieutenant, and other political
allies of Evans are contributing money
to the Carmack campaign, making their
contributions to the anti-Patterson
clubs in the state.
How do the Democrats of the state
like the picture? What do they think
of candidate who supports the re-
publican platform on the liquor ques-
ton and draws the finds for his race
from republican sources? Let them
answer at the ballot box on June 81.
We are convinced they will overwhelm

For Local Onion.

1he general conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, the largest
church body of its kind, now in session
in Baltimore, has gone on record in
favor of local option. The ma ority re.
port on temperance was Sead by Gov.
Hanly, of Indiana. An account says:
"The majority report endorses speciti
cally the anti saloon leagues; also ad-
vises the members of the church to
stand for local option as against gen
eral license law, as a step towards ulti-
mate prohibition. It also advises it's
members to vote against candidates
who are known to be in favor of the
liquor traffic if the Office to which they
aspire is one that comes directly in
to contact with the liquor business.
The minority document, which was
signed by twelve mem bers of the tenn
Ference committee, objects to the spe-
citic Endorsement of the anti-saloon
league, and puts it on a par with other
temperance societies.
This is the official utterance of the
largest protestant body in America,
having over two millions of communi.
cants. Must they be put down with
the rumsoaks, bootleggers, moral lie.
pers and democrats who favor local
option as against the theory that the
saloon question is not a material but
a moral question, and that any method
by which it can be destroyed is iustifi
able. We can point to men who argue
and believe this, and who would if they
had the power burn those who differ
with them at the stake.
Local option is preferred by tht
Methodist church because it is the mos
sensible and effective. 1t is the safest
step toward general prohibition.
When a great church indorses this
principle it is idle for fanatics to try tC
cast siur on those who favor 1t -

who lied about him then, now, in order
to conceal their own defeat, declare
that he is good prohibitionisl. Brown
has said nothing he did not practically
say during the campaign. But the
prohis lined up against him-and he
was elected. That's what happened.
And they are trying to keep the facts
from Tennessee voters. They'll never
do it. The Tennessee voter is neither
so ignorant nor such fool that he can
be deceived into the belief that the de-
feat of Hoke Smith in Georgia, who
was supported by the prohibition or
ganization and beaten, and the election
of Joseph Brown, who was opposed by
this element, is a prohibition victory.

Hon. Newell Sanders disclaimer
against the charge he has been aiding
the Carmack cause is not misleading.
1t is unique. Mr.. Sanders admits he
has contributed and solicited money
for the Young Mems Legislative Pro-
hibition club. The chairman of the
state republican committee says he has
not solicited funds for Mr.. Carmack's
campaign. In view of the strenuous
efforts of the Young Mems Legislative
Prohibition club to carry Hamilton
county for Senator Carmack; with their
especial regard for the present writing
for the gubernatorial democratic pri-
mary and deferred consideration for
the legislative campaign, it Is difficult
to differentiate between Mr.. Sanders
prohibition sympathies and espousal
of the individual champion of his cause
who is the real beneficiary by reason Of
the republican chairman's political and
financial activity.

personal or political interest in either

CarmaCk and Taylor.

Two years ago Senator Carmack de-
clared that Bob Taylor never showed
respect for any mans gray hairs but
his own" That was in a speech IN
which ne asserted that Taylor had
" stabbed Gen. Geo. G. Dibrell to the
vitals. ae also held Bob up as a trail
tor, liar, fool, coward, clown, negro
minstrel, mountebank and Rastus, and
these names were echoed by the Car
mack followers from one end of the
state to the other. Now Carmack is
quoting an interview with Taylor in
the effort to help his failing fortunes.
Quoting the man he abused 80 Wiley
and for whom he made it clear he had
no respect. Ninety per cent. of the
democrats who supported Taylor in
that race with Carmack are Pat!erson's
supporters, and they can not be driven
or tolfed away from Patterson by quot
ing any language of Taylor in support
of a man who abused and denounced
him worse than if he had been thief,
robber and murderer. These voters
know who Patterson has done and is
doing, and they have made up their
minds, and they are not to be diverted
or deferred by impudent efforts on the
part of Carmack to attract them to him.
By the way, what did Mr.. Oarmack
have to say about Taylor's effort to have
snap primary, and about the state
committee and the state convention be.
ing the lawful authority of the party?-
