Political Comedy In Georgia.

Did you ever witness farce more entertain
ing than this mix-up in dear old Georgia?
There's Hoke, Gray and Dick Smith trying
to cure those sore-heads of theirs, but getting
fresh knocks every time they bob up. The
truth is, that Dick and Hoke are mighty
clumsy fellows, and they stumble oftener than
any couple Of political urchins going. If Dick
had had the average quantity of tactical acu-
men he would have burnt his fingers before
writing that famous editorial in which the
Pops were so wantOnly, SO ungraciOusly, SO I'M
gratefully insulted.
And if Hoke had had moiety of the men
tally which he sincerely believes himself to
possess, he would have known better than to
choose Boykin Wright for his guide, philos-
opher and friend"
With those two red rags conspicuously dis
played the bull would have been decadent, in
deed, had his attention not have been riveted
to the challenge. Then, when other "dares"
were given, and the wicked scheme was de-
vised for robbing the country counties of their
political rights, a collision was inevitable
upon the plain sailing principle that when you
see the other fellow drawing back to hit YOU,
it's good policy to hit him FIRST.

William R. Hearst hires his lawyer by the

Shearn
Clarence was with the circus when it per-
formed in Atlanta, and he very seriously mo
t1hed' one Of the Hearst editors that he had
been selected by Hearst to run for Vice-Presi-
dent.
This job having been finished Clarence was
shipped back to New York where there was
new honor awaiting his arrival.
Hearst had soennly decided that his lawyer
should run for Governor of New York, and
Clarence is being duly "indorsed' for the place
by dutiful gatherings of the pay-rollers
Happily for Clarence, he got away from

themselves over the delicate question of the

Some Singers of PittsburQ.

One w. II. Singer, a comparatively insight
hcant person, has been married fifty years, and
concluded to celebrate his golden wedding
This he did last week The invited guests CON
sisted solely of Singers-to wit, the four chill
dren of him, the said w. H. Singer, and of
his faithful spouse.
When the four young Singers sat down to
the feast and turned up their plates, they saw
a sight good for weak eyes. For there, under
meath each plate was the snug sum of four
million dollars, in checks bonds and deeds-a
gift, in honor of the day, from their happy ia
Their, the said w. Fl. Singer Thus, the four
young Singers rose from the table richer by
$I6,OOO,OOO than when they sat down.
Reading of this banquet spread by one of
Our lesser plutOcrats, we naturally feel curious
to know how these Singers got all that money.
Well, it's the same old story. w. H. Singer
has long been a member Of manufacturing
firm engaged in the iron and steel business.
You can guess the rest can't you?
The federal. government has always "pro-
tected" Singer and his pals from foreign COM
petition, and thus they have been enabled to
rob the American consumers.
Of course, Congress did not come right out
and say that it was passing laws to enrich
Singer and his pals Oh, no! Congress said
it passed the laws which Singer and his pals
wanted, not to help Singer and his pals, but to
help the 1aborers who work for Singer & co.
But then, you see, none of the laborers can
give sixteen million dollars, at one clip, to his
four children. It's Singer who does that.
By passing laws which kept the wicked for
eigners from selling to us at reasonable prices,
Congress put us in the power of brother Singer
and his pals and Singer didn't do thing to us
but rob us with monopoly prices-year in and
year out, patiently, persistently, periodically
and conscientiously- the loot was 50
enormous that he could easily afford those
fOur-nlliOn- dollar oiftS

Bryan and the Negroes.

Bryan and the Negroes.
The University of Nebraska draws no color
line, Young men and young women of the
negro race are admitted as freely and treated
as we'll as the white students. Social equality
thus becomes the standard of the school.
Mr. Bryan is warm friend to this Uni
vers1ty, and it enjoys yearly endowment of
$3.50 from his purse.
In Nebraska, the common schools draw no
color line The negro children attend, upon
terms of equality with the whites
Mr.. Bryan chose to educate his own children
in these social equality Schools although he
was amply able to have sent them to white
schools had he objected to the mixed schools
MIR. Bryan has never denied the statement
reproduced in a Nashville paper, that, in
local election, he voted for a negro against
white man.
Again, in Nebraska there is no law forbid
ding the intermarriage Of negroes and Whites
The consequence is, that such marriages are
not uncommon shocking as they are to the
average Caucasian. So far as we know, Mr.
Bryan has never attempted to have miscegena-
ton made unlawful in Nebraska. Apparently
he finds nothing to denounce in the ntermar-
riage of the two races, and the consequent
mongrezatiOn of the whites
No wonder Bryan is out Of touch with
Southern sentiment the race question:
Born and reared in Illinois, he appears to be
imbued with the spirit of Thad Stevens and
Charles Sumner. If he has not made secret
pledges to the negro bishops on the points
named by them in that circular letter which
they have been circulating several weeks, why
has no denial been published?
The wrath of the negroes was aroused by
Roosevelt and Taft when these Republican
leaders took sides with the South on the 18th
and 18th amendments, on the disfranchisemcnt
laws, upon the Brownsville matter and the
defeat of the Foraker bill. The negroes are
also enraged because Gen. Luke Wright, an
ex-Confederate soldier, was made Secretary Of
War, and is to be continued by Taft in that
position of power.
The negroes say that Bryan has made them
satisfactory pledges, and that they are going
to vote for him.
WHAT ARE THOSE PLEDGES?
The negroes being furiousy against Roose-
welt and Taft because these two adopted the
Southern view of the race issue, how was Mr..
Bryan enabled to satisfy the negroes, unless
he took a position less friendly to the South
than that of Roosevelt and Taft?
1t is a fair question. Bryan should speak
out. The Southern people, to whom the negro
question is so all-important, have a right to
know what Mr.. Bryan said that convinced the
negro leaders he was better friend to their
race than the Republican candidate.
Roosevelt and Taft lost negro votes by sid

made upon Joe Brown ever since the June
election
If the primary wasn't fair, Hoke Smith was
the proper man to have made the point, and
last June was the proper time. If there had
been shadow of doubt that the election was
legal and binding, HOke would have been the
first man to cry "Fraud!'
He did not utter a word of complaint against
the regularity and legality of the election.
Neither then, at any time during the cam
paign, did he contend that there was an I'm
written Law which entitled him to a second
term. There is no such law, and Hoke did not
object to Browns candidacy, for he could not.
Therefore, that is settled. Nothing remains
but the plain proposition, 'Will those who
voted in the primary act honestly?"
If they do, the white primary becomes all
the stronger because of the treacherous at
tempt to destroy its usefulness.
Now that Joe Brown has taken the stump
for Bryan, insidious efforts are being made to
create the impression that he has broken faith
with Mr. Watson. He has not done so. He
made no promises to Mr.. Watson, express or
implied, and consequently has none to keep or
break!
There never was any kind of deal made, or
attempted, or even suggested, by Brown and
Watson. Any statements to the contrary are
wholly without foundation.
High above the Importance of Watson,
Brown, Smith and every other public man in
Georgia, rises the vital Importance of the
White Primary
We MUST stand by it! The supremacy Of
the whites is at stake-a policy which we
have all agreed to agree. However much we
may have differed as to the negro vote in the
past-each white faction striving to get the
larger share OF tive have all reached the con-
c1usion that the White Primary is our sal
walton.
Let us forget Our quarrels and chickering's
over Brown and Smith and Watson, and let us
fix our attention upon the principle which
dwarfs every personal cOnsideration-th prin
ciple of White Supremacy
AS Caucasians resolutely bent upon the pre-
servation of Our social and political institu-
tons, let us abide by the June primary.
This is doubly important that Bryan is
niggerizing the Bryanite party.
