FOOD FOR THOUGHT AND THE TICKET
THAT WILL WIN.
Especial to Jeffersonian.)

Dublin, Ca, May 26, 1908
First, | will state that I have been a life
time Democrat, feeling Ike I was Of the old
school. Now the trouble arises, how many
kinds Of Democrats have we?
We have taken the Populist platform, but
do not want to be called Populists We are
willing to accept it all but the name Like
boys, we cling to our fathers name. Our
President Of today is the most popular man
in the South, and if he would allow his name
used you would be surprised to see how many
Of the old school Democrats, as we call our
selves, voting for him. Now if we wish to
be wise, endorse the Hon. Thos. E. Watson
for President, then take consistent Demo
crat for running mate, and by that you will
unite the two parties and be crowned with
victory and brothers will be brothers again.
Now, there is no use to continue lodging
around. We, down in the depths of our
hearts, we'll know Mr. Watson is the most
available man in the South today. But our
large cities will not openly admit it and we
are only waiting for them to tell us what to
do and tell you, kind friends, they will con-
tinue to give us defeat. You will see that
Bryan is politically dead when it is left to the
people. You don't want him and you know
it, but you may have an axe to grind and
want the wool hat crowd to turn for you
(look out for balk)
There is another southern man, if he lived
in the East or West, would bring victory on
Watson's ticket man that is Of southern
birth, man Of honor, full of good deeds,
noble character and Christian gentleman, al
though Republican, his heart is in the

sary to examine the banks You admit this
Now, in this connection I ask you this cues
ton: Does not the same Act authorize banks
to be assessed to pay this service, and did
not the Fulton County Grand Jury so reportq
Is there anything false in this statement7
No, Mr.. Park, there is nothing false in any
statement | made about your official record
and you cannot dodge behind the Governor
or the Attorney General, either Neither one
is responsible for your violation of the law
The Governor has nothing whatever to do with
the deposit Of the States money You alone
are responsible for that. The Governor only
designates the banks wherein state funds may
be deposited. Not shall be but may be- 1t
is wisely left to the discretion of the Treas
urer as to such deposit, for he is supposed
to know, and is paid to know, the condition
Of each State depository, and whether or not
they are such banks with whom the States
money may be properly left.
Now, when did the Attorney General ever
give you an opinion that the Act Of 1893
limiting deposits in any State depository to
100000 was null and void, and that you
need not observe it9 Have you any such
Op1HlOu DIS tnIS on HE! L Cn1nK not. Our
Attorney General is too good lawyer to give
such opinion; and besides, what opinion,
or whose opinion, whether it be legal or other
wise, authorized you as Treasurer to dump
$4,000 Of the States money in a rotten bank?
[ will say just one word with reference to the
rumor, which perhaps originated in your own
brain, and which you are using for political
effect, about my disturbed mental balance.
While [ know chat that balance is we'll
within the limit fixed by the law Of nature,
yet I am sure it is on the right side, and is
yet strong enough to keep the States finan-
cial balances within the limit fixed by the
Act Of 1898, and also out Of rotten banks.
[ will also say that for the past ninety days
[ have been freely mingling with people all
over this State face to face, and am willing
for them to pass upon my mental capacity as
we'll as a comparison Of my record with yours
as Treasurer and bank examiner.
Very respectfully,
VIM. j. SPEER.

posits for period Of ten days over and above
the amount Of the Bank s bond. By law the
Goth of December is the last day for settle
ment Of taxes, and emergencies usually arise
about that day which make it absolutely
necessary to deposit an extraordinary number
of checks for a few days in the two State
Repositories at Atlanta. These checks are
mainly sent by the railroad companies and
are often Of very large amounts. Now, on
this very date, December 20, 1907, the two
Atlanta Depositories selected and appointed
by the Governor, according to the law of the
State, had about as much Of the State s
money as our custom permits. But / received
on this Goth Of December, coming after mid
night, by special delivery, a check from the
Southern Railway Company for $92,69669,
in payment of taxes. The Fourth National
Bank had at that time, of the States funds,
$75, 451.04, but [ temporarily placed the South
Railway check with this Bank, making
$168,613.11. On this date, December 20,),
I also received from different parties, as my
Annual Report shows checks amounting to
$85,40956. The Neal Bank had on hand, Of
the State 5 money, 1,65298, so [ placed the
above named checks for $05,408.56 with that
Bank, making $157 ,06154 all told, which was
$11 ,551 ST less money than the Fourth Ma
tional Bank had Of the State money.
Knowing that these two banks were by law
only entitled to receive $100,000.G0 of the
States funds, except in emergency cases,
when this amount for ten days col11d be
exceeded I Immediately went to work and
the very day the Neal Bank failed, and even
.46 on the Neal Bank to parties outside
the city, and also on the Fourth National
Bank in like manner, which shows [ was re-
ducing the emergency amount with all due
diligence. The Depository Banks located at
the Capital are the Clearing Houses of the
Treasury Department, and must be used for
these temporary overhows in receipts
AS is now we'll known, not cent of the
States money was lost by the failure Of the
Neal Bank, nor has there been any lost during
my service as State Treasurer. AS is now
also we'll known, suit was brought in Fulton
Superior Court to place the excess Of $780,
100000 of the States deposit in the Neal
Bank subject to the claims Of the other
depositors This was decided by the Court
in the States favor
I have been Treasurer Of Georgia for eight
years, have received and paid out more than
$50 1000, 100000, and not single dollar Of the
State s money has been lost misapplied.

WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 80. 1908
FIGHTING THOSE WHOI
Hell PED HIM.
WHO

Most of the meritOrious measures
put through congress under Presi-
dent Roosevelt were enacted with the
almost unanimous aid of the demo-
cratic members. and in opposition to
a large proportion of the republican
members, yet MIR. Roosevelt does not
seem to think that the democrats
would be able to conduct the govern
ment properly. The great Isthmian
canal. which was the dream and life
work of Senator Morgan, for so many
years the leading Southern democrat
IN congress, and the measure for its
construction, after being fought for
years by republicans, was finally put
through by the aid of the democrats,
vet the president refers to that great
project as likely to suffer at the
hands Of a democratic administration.
The Hepburn rate bill was not only
first advocated in the democratic
platform and taken almost bodily
from that source by Mr.. Roosevelt,
but it was forced through congress
almost entirely by the aid and infl-
ence of the democrats, and would
have been ANONYMOUSLY defeated by
the presidents own party in conrgess,
had it not been for Bailey, Tillman
and other prominent democratic sena-
tors. In the present campaign, in
fact, the republican candidate has
very little to say about the platform
uDon which he has been nominated,
but in almost every speech admits the
wisdom of one or the other of the
measures advocated in the magnifi-
cent declaration of principles promul-
gated by the democrats at Denver on
which Mr.. Bryan was nominated. 1t
appears true, as the Galveston News
declares. that Mr. Roosevelt is guilty
of ingratitude, in making such a
fierce attack upon the democrats,
when he is really indebted to that
party for its support in so many in
stances. Mr.. Roosevelt must be fully
aware that he is and has been all
along at variance with the majority
of the republican leaders on many
policies. and that the last platform
put forth by his party does not agree
with his ideas or those of Mr.. Taft,
while both are really in favor of a
number of the leading tenets of the
democratic platform.

San Benito Siftings

To The Herald:
San Benito, Texas, Sept. 29-The
fall rush of settlers to San Benito is
on. They have begun to arrive in
sufficient numbers to make things
quite lively around here. Among
these are Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. A. Bar
Der of Lincoln, Neb., and Mr.. T. C.
Hachenberger of Colorado.
The former will begin construction
on beautiful residence on the
boulevard Immediately, which will
be on the bungalow order.

lily here within very few days. He
has already ordered lumber for the
house that he will put up.

younger society crowd of San Benito.
The evening was one ever to be
remembered and the young people re-
marked that they had never had
better time. Delightful refreshments
were served and the romance o fthe
tropics and of old Spain foated away
on the cool evening sea breezes, to
the strains of the Mexican band.
The ''toros" at Matamoros of the
past Sunday drew quite crowd of
San Benito gentlemen and ladies.
Among these were Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.
E. Barber and son, Messrs. Caldwell,
