There has been nothing 10 change the
sentiment Of the people from the vote
cast last year. The majority rolled up by
the democrats year ago is more than
likely to be repeated at the general cleo

why the democrotic ticket should not
win by at least $4,000.

{ Was n Glorious Victory

Despite the fact that Atlanta S
brilliant horse show was in progress,
it's other theaters filed with good at
fractions and the excitement of the
State election returns, the Grand
Opera House was filed to the doors
when Hon. Thos. E. Watson came up
on the stage on the evening Of the
9TH, and many were turned away for
lack Of seating capacity.
Among those present" CHANGED
to be a goodly bunch Of Bryanites,
who had come with the avowed in
tention Of scoffng. They started it,
alas! And they got what they de-
served. There was nothing in the
nature of disorder, but there was. an
atmosphere Of the most intense an
tagonism among the opposition at the
outset, and throughout an equal at
mosphere Of intense enthusiasm. The
Bryanites lucklessly drew the speak
er's fre-and got it. The regular
course Of the speech was frequently
interrupted with questions from the
"Peerless " benighted supporters
and their humiliation was SO COM
plete that long before the address
was concluded, you could have raked
the ranks with fine tooth comb and
found not a man who would have
dared to admit that he had come to
uphold the candidacy Of William j.
It may be true that ga man con-
vinced against his will is of the same
opinion still but the unanswerable
arguments Mr.. Watson advanced
backed by evidence absolutely incon-
trovertible-was a revelation which
will never be forgotten.
In way, people are not so greatly
at fault for still clnging to that
greatest of political hypocrites-Wm.
J. Bryan for the Southern papers
for very shame are silent on many
of the most vicious Of his policies
things which, if thoroughly under
stood, would cause instant repudia-
ton of them among reasoning men.
Blinded by an ancient prejudice, hyp-
Noticed by name, worshipping an
idol which has degenerated to the
merest clay-the Bryanites have no

ton to shut their eyes and ears to
all facts derogatory to their leader.
This cannot continue-and will not.
Such bomb-shell as was exploded
in their ranks last Wednesday night
cannot fail of execution.
Nova word as to Taft. 1t GER
tainly should seem that people could
understand why it is unnecessary to
devote much attention to him or the
Republican party. It has been since
It's inception the party Of plutocracy
and special privilege. It stands for
everything which the ancient Democ-
racy fought and which Popuism has
always fought, is now fighting and
will continue to fight But we can It
fight it with Organism. We must
take the middle-of- the-road between
two parties which have come to rep
resent the same things. Organism is
but another Taftism, in masquerade.
To expose this conglomerate, mon
grel Democratic machine, made up Of
every viciousness in men and princi-
pies which the Republican party has
always unbIushingly owned to, is the
purpose Of the fight against it.
"My father chastised you with
rods-but [ will chastise you with
scorpions" Haven't the common
people been whipped long enough
with rods Of every form Of injusticGy
and does not the gang supporting
Bryan now propose in addition to
that to whip the common WHITE
people with the scorpion of NEGRO
DOMINATION? Isn't it plain that
as between the Republican party and
the so-called Democratic party the
rank and file has but a choice of
atrocious evils? That there is moth
ing, nothing, NOTHING to be hoped
from Bryan, who is crazed by a desire
to win the presidency at last?
"The most pitiable figure in the
world today is Bryan" says Gene
Debs And he is right Not to suf-
fer a third defeat-fnally to "get
there" by hook, crook, any and every
thing-promising the public plum

groes social equality, promising any
thing to anybody who can help his

Following you will see the correct
form Of official ballot for the Novem-

The most essential work Of the fol
lowers and supporters Of Mr.. Watson
is having tickets placed at every poll
ing precinct in this State, and we ur-
gently request all who are interested
to write by return mail for ballots
and to send names of any one that
you know to be interested or in SYM
pathy with Mr. Watson. The mat
ter Of having our tickets at the polls
is of the greatest importance. Write
at once for tickets and send us, if
you possibly can, some money to help
defray the expenses of mailing, print

private, personal, inordinate ambition,
He reaches out for the votes of the
labor unions and sneers at our in
dustrial army-the proudest army the
world ever boasted-as ga lot of pub
lie beggars." He takes as his allies
that nauseating yellow niger, "Bish-
OPP" Turner, who boasts that his an
cestry came from the "kings Of AT
RIGA, and who proposes that his pos
terity shall be the social kings Of
America.
Therefore the fight on Organism
in the interests of true and loyal
democracy.
The Ocala platform pointed the
way whereby the people can gain
their rights. 1t still points it, There
is no other way. Frantic rushing
about, changing platforms every four
years, trying this new scheme and
that one, dropping each when it con
ficts with some trust magnate's, spe-
cial interest, will never accomplish
anything for the 80 per cent of our
people who never had a square deal
and never will get it either under q
Taft or a Bryan, a Parker or a
Roosevelt.
The laboring men are not playing
politics" says our friend Gompers
in chappioning Bryan No. But
they, as we'll as the rest Of the pro-
ducing masses, are being played by
both parties as either chumps or cow
ards.
"TVho are you for anyway, Taft or
Bryan?" piped up some idiot in the
audience that night 'tFor myself
and the Soulful" flashed Mr.. Wat
son--and the crowd went wild.
IF only people could see that it is
sheer stupidity to think they must
be for either of the two big parties
if they would only realize that the
thinking portion Of both old parties
is utterly disgusted with Taftism and
Bryanism-and unite to control our
common country for its eternal bet
terment

 The Public tilitics Commission was also approved oy vote in the afternoon session.
 Preceding the meeting of the Asso- citation the directors met and elected six new associations to membership, one of which was that of Putnam.
 President A. II. Abbe showed that the organization was rapidly growing Beginning with seven local Associa- tions in 1889, there are now thifty.four auxiliary Associations, with mem- bership of over 1000.
 The President suggested that steps should be taken at the next General Assembly 10 secure a reduction in the amount of wages exempt from at tachment; and he also suggested the passage of law governing hawkers similar to that of Massachusetts. He said that while Connecticut peddlers cannot go into Massachusetts those from Massachusetts, can come into onnectieut.

II is related of s.achaud. the most famous of French criminal lawyers in the last century. that in pleading cer- tain case he perceived that one of the jurors seemed to be hostile to him and his argument.
