remember this IIole Smith trick White voters
Of Georgia! Study we'll the true significance Of
what Hoke has done
You are not to be allowed to compliment a
fellow Georgian with the electoral vote of our
state, even if you wish to do So
HOKE HAS INVITED THE NEGROES
BACK TO THE POLLS TO KEEP THE
WHITES FROM CONTROLLING THE
ELECTION.
How do you like it?
Don't you think that Hoke might have left
the matter with the whites?
Is it no insult to you, when he CHANGES
THE LAW, SO as to make the negroes the bal
ance of power in the November election?

understand that the victory Of 1906 was not
Hoke Smith triumph, but was demonstration
of the popularity Of the disfranchisement is
sue and the reform principles embodied in the
original Pope Brown platform.
To this misconception of the facts Hoke
owes his subsequent rude awakening, on the
night of June 4th, 1908.
But to prove that the Hon. Hoke does not
understand the plain, common people of Geor-
gla, we have only to contemplate his perfdious
conduct toward the disfranchisement measure
to which he owed his election.
AS agreed on by Smith, Hardwick and Wat
son, the legislature passed the proposed law
amending the constitutions and by its terms the
negroes were to be disfranChised as soon as the
law was approved by the people at the October
election That act of the legislature was passed
last year. So matters stood until HOke got
knocked out, on June 4th of this year, and Wat
son entered the field as contestant for the
electoral vote of Georgia
Then Hoke began to do about and think Of
things. 1t suddenly flashed upon his able mind
that he was not quite SO bitterly in favor Of
disfranchisement as he had been while a can
didate in 1906 The negro vote might be
needed to keep the misguided white men Of
Georgia from giving the electoral vote to
native Georgian The whites must not be
permitted to do this. Rather than see such
Yankee Governor bethought him of shrewd
maneuver. He would slip through the legis-
1ature of 1908 act amending the law as
passed in 1907 Instead of putting the colored
brother out Of politics in October Of this year,
AS HAD BEEN AGREED, he must be given
further time, and must be allowed a chance to
vote for our Illinois hero, Bryan, in the Novem-
Der election. Not that Hoke cares fig for
Bryan, but that he wants to use the. negro, as
Livingston said "to beat Watson and the Pop
ulists." For that reason, and no other Hol1e
thought up that point about there not being
time to fix the new lists Of registered voters
for the November election.
Hoke modestly admits that no one else saw
any trouble with the law as it was passed in
1907. Nobody saw the trouble for the reason
that there wasn't any
The law was all right. There would have
been ample time, after the October election, for
the preparation of the new book for November
election
The board Of registrars are not legally en-
titled to but ten days to make up the lists, and
the man who contends that they would not
have had the ten days allowed by law, between
the October election and the November cleo
ton, is wilfully deceiving himself and Others
The invarable custom is that the precinct
superintendent meet at the county site on the
day after the election, consolidate the returns,
and mail the necessary papers to Atlanta. On
the second day after the October election,
every return should be in the State-house
Surely, one day would suffice for the opening
of packages and the tabulation of the figures
But if you allow two days for this clerical
work, or even three, you would still have left
more than ten days which the law gives to the
registrars for the making Of the lists before the

The People Rnle-Do They?

OHe OF Tie lat lW11lS running 1OI the pICSl-
dency says that the people should rule. The
other says that they do.
AS a matter of fact, Both of these fat smilers
know that the people do not rule and neither
of the two want the people to rule. Both Of
these dubious candidates favor corporation
rule, mOney-rule, newspaper rule, Catholic
Church rule, SalOOn-keeper rule, party-cauCuS
rule-for the simple reason that any man who
opposes that kind of rule can not hope to be
President. AS things are now arranged, the
man does not live who could reach the White
House without passports signed by the inter
ests named and no one is better advised of the
fact than the two fat politicians who are put
ting up their sham fight.
Taft has done his level best to please the
Catholics, and SO has Bryan. Taft is claim
ing the right to be recognized as Roosevelt's
heir, and so is Bryan. Not blessed thing
has Roosevelt done to remove the. source of
our national troubles; and both Taft and
Bryan want the benefit of that fact WITH
THE INTERESTS WHICH DO RULE.
Every monopoly has been left in undisturbed
possession Of it's vested right to pillage. Every
laW-breaking corporation is still in business
breaking laws. Every vampire that was suck
ing the life-blood of the body-politic when
Roosevelt succeeded Mckinley is hanging on,
gorged though it is. Every ungodly advant-
age given by congress to one class over others
is still in force. Not single material change
for the better has been effected anywhere
Under Roosevelt national extravaganza has
reached high-water mark. Under Roosevelt
the Tobacco Trust has maddened its victims
until the torch and the rifle have brought a
reign of terror over some of the farest regions
of the republic. Under Roosevelt the Steel
Trust has committed enormites which no free
people should have endured; and the Pres-
dent himself sanctioned, in advance, it's unlaw-
full absorption of rival corporation-The Ten
nessee Coal & Iron Company-at $I7oooooo,
when it was worth So, 100000 Under Roose-
the hands of half-a-dozen men has gone on
with gigantic strides.
AS Bryan has become reaCtionary, so has
Roosevelt. Bryan dropped government owner
ship, and Roosevelt dropped the inheritance
tax. Bryan now contents himself by denOunc-
ing the trust which controls more than a GER
tain per cent of the output, SO Roosevelt con-
tents himself with saying what ought to be
done to 'the big man" who violates the law
Neither Bryan Roosevelt nor Taft speaks
of doing thing to the system, which breeds
the devitry.
The whole bunch, B., r. and t. propose to
erect small fltering machines in the great riv
ers of legislative wrong, instead of going up
to the fountain heads of the stream and taking
out the source of the trouble
The people rule?
How can they, when the initiative, energy
resources and unity of purpose of the corpora
lions are 50 immensely vaster? !.

 ''Savages. and very primitive peoples generally. concern themselves only with superficial natural resources; with those which they obtain from the act- uaI surface of the ground. As peoples become little less primitive. their in- dustries. although in a rude manner, are extended to resources below tho surface: then. with what we call civ- ilization and tho extension of knowl- edge. more resources come into use. in- dustries are multiplied and foresight begins to become necessary and prominent factor in life. Crops are cultivated: animals are domesticated: and metals are mastered.
 Every step of the progress of man- kind is marked by the discovery and use of natural resources previously unused.
