Ellis, the Platform Maker,
Tells How Taft and Teddy
Approved Every Line

Columbus, Ohio, June 23.-The re.
ply of Attorney General Ellis to the
criticism of Mr.. Bryan on the epubli-
can national platform has suggested
further question as to how the anti
injunction plank as. finally adopted
came to be written. Upon this point
Mr.. Ellis made this statement today:
"The anti-injjunction plank, as final
~ adopted was written by friends of
Secretary Taft of the subcommittee
on resolutions and was approved by
the secretary and president before it
was proposed as substitute for the
original plank on this subject. The
plank, and practically every sentence
in the Republican platform, as finally
adopted was approved by the secre-
tary although those portions refer
ringring particularly to the work of
the administration were not submit
ted to the president. Even the un-
important verbal changes between the
draft as published before the conven-
tion and as finally adopted by the
convention were made with the sec
retary's knowledge before the tenta-
tive draft was submitted to the COM
mites.
This statement is made in order to
make clear the fact that the Republi-
can plank contains no suggestions Of
retreat FROM Roosevelt policies,
stands squarely by the progressive
principles Of the party and was adop-
ted because 1t had the emphatic APP
proval of the party's candidate,

IT'S UP TO THE VOTERS.

All things considered, there has
been a pretty full and fair exposition
Of the merits and dement's of candi-
dates and causes in the primary CAM
paign through the state. The voters
of the state today will declare for
their candidates for Office, and when
the polls close this afternoon, the
standard bearers of the republican
party in the forthcoming campaign in
the state will be chosen There has
been a good deal of rancor in the cam
paign, but perhaps not as much as
there might have been. The over en-
thusiasm OF some newspapers has re-
suited in the dissemination of good
deal of unreliable stuff The mails
have been heavy with letters and cir
culars and the wonder of 1t all is that
the voter is not more confused with
reference to candidates than he is.
The Tribune has supported the stall
wart candidates in this campaign, be
lieving them to be upright and honor
able men. qualified for the places they
seek, standing for loyal republican,
ism, and capable Of giving the state a
good administration Of its affairs. 1t
has refrained from personal assaults
upon insurgent candidates, according
them the entire right to be candidates
before the people, but pointing out
from time to time the truth with ref
erence to the insurgent movement
which is that of a number of disap
pointed and dissatisfied office seekers,
wishing to ride into Office upon a
wave Of prejudice and misstatement
and by spreading broadcast deliberate
misinformation regarding conditions
in the state.
The Tribune has not hesitated to
indicate the demagoguery of the in
surgent leaders and to bring facts and
figures to bear in answer to the stump
speeches that have been made by in.
surgents, not for the purpose of in
forming the people of the state, but
for the purpose of getting votes 2
The Tribune has entire confidence in
the good Judgment of the majority
1t believes that it will reject the in.
surgent candidates as DESTROYS only
of getting office, and as unable te
carry out the promises that have beer
made of an immediate remedy for al
the ills flesh is heir to.
Indications are that the stalwart
ticket will be nominated by con
siderable majority at today's pr
maries. But whoever is nominated
THE battle Within the republican party
as between its candidates ought to be
over when the polls close today. and
there should be no longer any fac
tons, but united republican party
And whoever is not prepared to stand
for the ticket that is nominated by
the republican today is not republi
can at all but place hunter, mas
querader, and an enemy Of the party
who deserves neither honor nor con
fidence at its hands.

That election last week in Geor-
gia will go down through history as
"Hoke's Hoax"
History repeats itself. We do not
recall the exact time or the circum-
stance, but 1t is of record that at
some time in the past Hell broke
loose in Georgia" That same thing
took place again last Thursday.
A New York physician says that a
man can get drunk on water. Tell 1t
in Georgia.-Anderson 4.ail.
All right enough to mention it in
Georgia, but why in the name of COM
mon sense did you say anything
about it In this State?
Why this dearth Of candidates In
Oconee? There are fourteen officers
to be elected, yet there are so far
only f1fty-two candidates announced.
What are we going to do about it?
Will nobody run for office and save
the country?
We trust that everyone will this
year give due attention to elections.
The laws are not exactly what the
people want, and taxes are to-day
higher than at any time in the his
tory Of the State. Are you pleased
II not. give attention and vote fol-
men who will and can bring you re-
lief. If goou men do not run, bad
ones will.

GEORGIA'S NEW GOVERNOR.

1t IS the strange thing that hap
pens. Hon. Joseph Mackey Brown
has been elected Governor of Geor-
gia. He defeated Hon. Hoke Smith,
who was member of Cleveland s
cabinet. and who, two years ago, de-
featcd number Of strong men for
Governor Of Georgia. We are very
much interested in this election. Hon.
Joseph f.. Brown, the father Of JOS
eph NJ, was not only Governor of
Georgia, but was for many years
United States Senator from that
State. He was also known as the dis
tinguiShed war Governor. He was
born on the Blue Ridge, on Long
Creek, this county, on the large farm
now owned by Nathan Watkins, who
is related to the new GOyernO.' OF
Georgia. At the time Of the birth OF
Mr.. Brown, however, the whole OF
OcOneC county was included in what
was then "PickcnS District and by
reason OF that fact his birth place
is frequently incorrectly given as in
Pickens county, South Carolina, in
stead OF OConce county.
Upon all sides we feel peculiarly
interested in the recent election anC
its result, which is very creditable
to the people Of Georgia, and JUS
what might be expected of the goot
OF that State.
Joseph E. Brown married a daugh
ter Of Rev. Joseph Grisham, the core
mony being performed at the ole
Grisham homestead in West Union
where Capt. II, c. Strother ant
family now reside. This occasion IL
pleasantly remembered by a numbe
of the older citizens Of this county

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1908.
AMUSING AND ENLIGHTENING.

1t was amusing to note the wide
difference between the election an
nouncements Of the Atlanta news
papers last Thursday. OF course
there were reasons for it. Each of
the three prominent dailies had
different viewpoint from which to
look over the field. The Constitution
has never gotten over the awful poll
tical drubbing given its editor two
years ago by Koke Smith, Of the
journal. The Daily Georgian was
unquestionably favorable to Little
Joe Brown" though it made a very
laudible effort to be absolutely i'm
partial in the campaign. The Jour
nal was always ultra partisan in It's
attitude, boosting the editor Of that
paper unduly and using very Ques-
tionable methods in regard to the
candidacy Of Mr.. Brown. In fact, SO
obnoxious became the Journal in it's
warfare that it may really be said
that that paper and Hoke Smith con-
tributed more largely to Smiths un-
precedented defeat than did the Con-
stitution, the Georgian and Mr.Brown
combined. The really amusing part,
however, came "the day after" when
the following headings heralded the
election news:
The Constitutions:
Looks Like Joseph M. Brown has
SweDt Stata for GOyornOrl'
The Georgian:
state Goes for Brown by About
10000, According to the Latest Re-
turns Received
The Journal:
"Mangum Is Sheriff!"-Leading at
p. M-Livingston, Donahoo, Cal
houn, Slayton, Speer!"
At the final wind-up of the race the
Journal was as silent as it had been
during the campaign rabidly blatant
in boosting Mr.. Smith and claiming
everything in sight.
We doubt not that had Mr.. Smith
and the Journal been as silent during
the campaign as to Mr.. Brown and
his policies, private and public life,
as they were in regard to the over
whelming defeat of Mr.. Smith, the
result Of the election would have been
materially different Time was when
dirty politics carried the day, but of
late years the people have awakened
to the fact that there is such a thing
as decency and honesty in politics,
and they favor it and do not hesitate
to do so in the most telling way-the
casting of their ballots.
Personally we have great admi-
ration for Hoke Smith in many ways,
but we cannot say anything in favor
Of his last campaign methods, and
we regret that he stopped to them.
We doubt not that Mr. Smith has
learned a lesson that will remain in
the foreground of his recollections for
many a day, and no doubt others will
also profit by it.
