THE JEFFERsON1AN.

(4) By making such strenuous efforts
to carry Cobb County, the apparent pur-
pose being to humiliate Little Joe" in his
home It would have had splendid eff
feet on public opinion throughout the
state had the Governor magnanimously
stated that he would not contest his OPP
ponent's home county at all.
60 By using il1-considered statements
in his speeches-such as that the negroes
were being urged to go to the polls on
June 4th to tell the white people how to
vote" The Atlanta Journal reported the
Governor as holding forth in that style
at Cedartown, and. we must assume that
the report was correct.
AS to the various speakers who took
the field it is hard to say which Of them
added to their reputation. Judge Hines
made strong argument, as he always
does; Seab Wright was brilliant and elo
quent-as it is natural for him to be.
Charley Moses was himself again, we are
glad to say and we hope that he will re-
main on the stage where he appears to
such advantage. Big-hearted Frank SAT-
fold, Of Emanuel did fine work in his sec
ton of the state and we shouldn't won
der if Frank gave Judge Ben RaWlins the
run Of his life next time.
Judge H. D. D. Twiggs, of Savannah,
made the most magnificent speeches that
were heard on the Joe Brown side-he
being by all odds the greatest orator of
the campaign.
If we were asked to put finger on the
secrets Of Joe Browns phenomenal sue
cess, we should first of all mention the
perfect propriety of his own conduct,
throughout the campaign, and the excel
lent quality and temper of the written
statements put forth by him from time
to time. Next in Importance was the
splendid local committees which sprang
up in all parts Of the state, and which
worked their immediate communities as
though the fate of the whole campaign
depended upon that locality. We have
never seen SO much zeal, so much I'M
selfshness, so much energetic and syste-
matte work done by local committees as
was done in this remarkable race.
We say this without the slightest in
clination to disparage Mr.. ]. R. Smith.
That gentleman did fine work, and when
we consider how short time the early
primary gave him, and that he had to
commence without SO much as mailing
list covering the state, the marvel of the
result grows.

Aftermath of the GHbeynatOrial
Campaign.

1t is one OF the good things about hui
man nature that when a big man Jumps
on little one we naturally sympathize
with the latter.
Knowing this, Governor Smith would
have been adopting the very best policy
had he been studiously respectful in
every reference he made to Little Joe"
To Jump on him with such terrific vio-
lence, and to use terms which were un-
derstood to be used in ridicu1e of his
personal appearance, was one of the Gov
ernor's worst mistakes. The court house
habit of denouncing the opposition will
not do on the stump. The reaction in
favor of the subject of the abuse is al
ways in direct ratio to it's violence.
The ;mprudence of the Governor in
adopting invective as his principal wea-
pom was all the more glaring since his
removal of Little Toe from the Railroad,
Commission was itself an act of violence
which some of the Governors strongest
supporters disapproved. The situation was
doubly delicate, requiring the incest hand
ling, because of the fact that the Gov
crnor has never yet given plain, clear
and consistent statement of his reasons for
disgracing Joe Brown, by a summary re-
moval, while Obadiah Stevens was left
undisturbed.
We honestly believe that the Governor
beat himself,
()By sticking to those new rules,
when he could easily have had his Com
mittee rescind them,
(2) By taking the stump, instead of
remaining at his office, attending to its
duties,
Cd By setting the example of abusing
the opposition-which example his man
ayers and speakers generally followed.
TO publicly denounce such a man as F.
L. Seeley as "a sneaking hypocrite" was
an indulgence of bad temper and dis
play of wretched Judgment. BY yielding
such free rein to his natural inclination
for fierce invective, the Governor gave
implied encouragement to the authors of
the Brooks County Circular and the
Foster pamphlet-both Of which produce
tons cost the Governor some votes.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-06-11

Indeed, vague rumors of terrible at
tack which was to be made on Mr.. Wat
son, at the close of the campaign, had
reached him from several sources, and,
therefore, it would seem that the Foster
pamphlet was in the air. y
1t cost the Governor many vote, and
if Foster feels good over the way in
which both sides have denounced him,
he is an easy man to please.
Some of our good Populist friends hon
estly believed that we were undoing the
reform work that had already been done.
speech at McRae, in November, 1907, and
cism to place upon the Legislature which
had defeated SO many Of our reform meas
ures, it was evident that reform work
was thing of the past Something else
was on foot Senatorial aspirations, new
rules to deprive country counties Of their
constitutional share of power and to give
one man the right to name all the dele
gates that represent all the counties,
perpetuation of the early primary which
gives so much advantage to the ms, and
which compe1s the people to re-elect or
cast out, members of the Legislature whose
record of service is still incomplete
these were the plans which followed the
MCRae speech.
We never rendered the people better
service than we did in helping to defeat
those new rules. It is idle to talk of
what South Carolina does, or what Flor
ida does. With us the question is not
open to debate. Our Constitution pre-
scribes the division Of political power in
Georgia, and until the people declare that
they want the system changed, the poll
ticians ought to let it alone.
That question was not discussed in the
campaign of 1906, and Hoke Smith had
no authority from his supporters through
out the state to put that new rule upon
us. Apparently, it was a part of the
scheme and purpose ito bury Watson .
whose strength lies chiefly in the country
counties.

ALDERMEN'S TILTS
Are All Forgotten When Outside
 of Meeting Room.

It Is probable that the aldermen will not meet again until next year, although some of the members thinN they ought to have Just one more ses- sion in committee of the whole dur ing the Christmas holidays and in- vite the public to come in and hear them. Very few know how the al- dermen do business, Many think they all lose their heads and that the sheriff has hard time keeping them from tearing into each others hair; but this is not so. They are all able to take the other side of question without falling out about II, and when the meeting adjourns that Is the end of it. Two of the members who rarely ever agree on anything were chatting together in Exchange place the other day when a membet of the Waterbury Bar association came along and remarked thaC he thought from what he had read m the papers that none of the members recognized each other on the streets, and then added that he was pleased to notice they could scrap like law yers do and then go around the cor ner and have a cigar the same as If they had been working hand in hand for the same client. This Is the proper view to take of it.
 The aldermen are all right. They held couple of dozen meetings this year and transacted a vast amount of public business, and did it well
 There were no executive sessions; every body had chance to say as
