LARGE CROWD AT RoYsToN.
G.. T. PARKER.

One of the largest crowds ever
seen In Royston was here Thursday
to hear Tom Watson.
Mayor Doyle, in a neat and an
proprlate speech, welcomed Mr.. Wat
son and the visitors to the CITY.
Col. T. C. Borough, in his charac-
teristic style, introduced the speak
er. His speech was short but no;nt-
ed.
There is no use to dwell on Wat
sons speech. He was the same Tom
Watson of old, full Of vim and fire
tie talked as he talked eighteen years
ago, pleading with Populists to stav
by the principles they stood for when
the party was first organized. And
from the amount of applause and en-
thusiasm displayed by the audience
1t seemed as if the sold guard'' will
be with their leader at the finish

Atlanta, Ga. Sept. 4. 1908.


Hon. T. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.
My dear Sir: Ever since the
winding up of Mr.. Bryan's political
machine at Denver, have been won
dering whether the frenzied fnancier,
Lawson, intended his telegram as a
compliment or sort of left-handed
g1ggle to, or at, Mr.. Bryan.
I'd like your opinion through the
Jeffersonian, thereof.
Mr.. Lawson's telegram says: 81
wrote you few days ago that I did
not believe you stood any chance of
being elected but"-here comes In
the compliment" considering your
adroitness in capturing the opposition
by giving up your poppycockdoodle-
ism OF free silver and government
ownership, [ believe there is a
chance for you," etc., etc. Now
this was the first I had ever
heard of the advocacy Of the free
coinage OF silver and government
ownership of public utilities as being
'poppycockdoodleism, and if it is SO,
then it would seem to me that in
stead OF Mr.. Bryan's capturing the
enemy, the boot is on the other leg.
as MIR. Bryan certainly has surren-
dered the only big guns of poppy
cockdoodleism with which he has CON
fronted the enemy since he abandoned
the more vital and effective advocacy
OF a people s money-greenbacks.
Truly for it,
c.. 7. PARKER.

POPULIST RALLIES In FOUR
COUNTIES.
Col. E. D. Winberly Will be Present
and Make Talk at Each.

The Populists, including all those
who are now supporting the Hon.
Thomas E. Watson for President, are
about to enter upon an active organi-
cation campaign which will cover
thoroughly the entire section. Mr..
Watson himself will come to this
part Of the state in week or two
and make number Of speeches, and
his followers are planning to greet
him IN great and enthusiastic crowds.
County organizations have already
been effected in several counties Of
the second congressional district and
it is the intention of the campaign
committee that the work be carried
on until every county in the district
shall have been put in working order.
Then the hardest work of the cam
paign will have been fairly begun.
Next week, the center of activity
will be in Colquitt, Thomas, Grady
and Mitchell counties. Dates have
been made for rallies in each Of
these counties as follows:
Colquitt - Moultrie, Wednesday,
September 2.
Thomas = Ochlocknee, Friday,
September 4.
Grady-Cairo, Thursday, Septem-
Der 8.
Mitchell-Pelham, Saturday, Sep
TENDER 5.
Col. F. D. Wimberly, of Cochran,
Pulaski county, a we'll known speak
er of power and ability, a member of
the cold Guard" will be present at
each of these meetings and a great
time is assured all those who come
out. The meetings are being widely
advertised and no doubt good crowds
will be attracted.
If you ever were a Populist, or
have made up your mind to be no
longer a political slave, come out to
one of these meetings. A very cor
dial invitation is extended to all in
dependent voters, regardless of past
political afiliations.-Meigs Review.

ALABAMA.
To the Populists Of Alabama:

To the Populists Of Alabama:
| have received letters from Popu-
lists all over the State wanting to
know if Alabama would have an cleo
toral ticket. At a meeting of the
State Executive Committee at Biz
mlngham on July an electoral tick
ct was put into the field, and this
ticket appears in another column Of
this paper. We are unfortunate in
not being able to get our movements
before the people. The Democratic
newspapers ignore us. They won't
even "cuss" us-that would help
some.
The Alabama Populist, published at
Selma, has been doing all it could do
to keep our people posted, but owing
to the fact that it is practically in
its infancy, its circulation is compare
lively small, and consequently the
people remain uniformed. Con-
fronted by this condition of affairs,
it is the duty of every Populist in
the State who does know to do all
the work he can to get Populism be-
fore his neighbors.
/ have also received some very en-
couraging letters Men who have new
er voted anything but the Democratic
ticket are going with us this time.
Information comes from several parts
of the State that Watson will get
majority at various places. An eff
fort is being made to carry Henry
county. Crenshaw Populists say
their county will give Watson
big vote, and like reports come from
other counties.
[ have sent the names of all the
parties who have written me to Hon.
Jay w. Forrest, National Chairman,
of Albany, N. Y. He will send liter
allure to all Of them, and [ request
that they distribute it among their
friends. It will have good effect.
Enclose few stamps or a money or
der in an envelope and address it to
Peoples Party Headquarters at AL
bany. They need money and stamps
to distribute this literature and car
ry on the campaign work.
Every county in the State should
be organized. Call county conven-
ton and get the ball to rolling.
The November election is going to
be an eye-opener.
Yours for the fight,

FOR ORGANIZATION.


to the best interests of the people of
our common country:
Resolved: First, That we, the
Populists Of Forsyth county, Georgia,
do reafirm our faith in the final tri-
umph of the principles as set forth
IN the Omaha platform of 1883 and
heartily commend the same for the
earnest consideration of all good cit
liens Of our entire country.
Resolved: Second, Realizing that
IN union there is strength, and that
the most sacred civil right Of the
American citizen is that of the prop
er use of the ballot box, we cordial
ly invite all true reformers, prospect
i've of past political differences, in
carrying our banner of "Equal rights
to all and special privileges to none,"
to a glorious victory in our beloved
Georgia.
We have, at our masthead, the
names of two true and tried Chris
tlan patriots who have been weighed
In the balances and not found want
ing. The name of Thos. E. Watson,
as noted national, renowned Chris
tan statesman and historian,
is fast becoming of household dis
tlnctlon. AS an able exponent of our
long cherished republican form of
government, founded upon true De-
mocracy, he stands today without
pier and should our old ship of state
become stranded upon the rocks of
modern plutocracy, his name will 60
down in history alongside of those
of Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln,
who devoted their public lives to keep
her in her proper mornings. We
quote again from the Farmers AL.
lance and Industrial Union: "Truth
crushed to earth will rise again"
These reasons set forth, we hope
all true lovers Of liberty will
come up with their ballots at the
November election and cast them for
Watson and Williams, giving the cleo
toral vote of the Empire State of the
South to her much to be honored and
devoted son, the Honorable Thos. E.
Watson.
On organization we unanimously
elect as county chairman and secre-
tary, R. P. Rogers, chairman, and V.
W. Daugherty, secretary. To assist
them in completing the organization,
we suggest the following named per-
sons whom we insist will at once pro-
coed to call mass meetings and form
Watson and Williams clubs.
Cumming district, Furman Will
Hams, "A. J. Green.
Big Creek district, Joseph Brook,
ID. H. Bagley.
Bells district, Jesse N. Clements.
Duprees district, to- be supplied.
Settendown district, Abram Bran
let.
Hightower district, Cephas Pirkle.

Bryan Conception
Of the Presidency

+ New York, July 16.-William i.
Bryan has written an article entitled
My Conception of the Presidency
for the July Is issue of Collier's
Weekly. He says:
THE presidents power for good
or for harm is often overestimated.
This government is a government of
checks and balances; power is dis
tributed among different depart
ments, and each of tuem works in
cooperation with others. In the
making of laws. for instance, the
president joins with the senate and
house; he may recommend, but he
is porwerless to legislate, except as
a majority of the senate and the
house concur with him. The senate
and the house are also independent
OF each other, each having veto
over the other, and the president
has veto over both, except that the
senate and house can by a two-thirds
| vote override the presidents veto.
The influence of the president over
legislation is, therefore, limited; he
shares responsibility with large
number of the peoples representa-
tives.
Even in the enforcement of the
law he is hedged about by restric-
tons He acts through an attorney
general (whose appointment must
be approved by the senate), and
offenders against the law must be
prosecuted in the courts, so that
here again the responsibility is di-
vided. In the making of important
appointments too. he must consult
the senate, and is of necessity COM
PEELED to exercise care and discre-
tion.
The most important requisite in
a president, as in other officials, is
that sympathy shall be with the
whole people, rather than with any
traction of the population. He is
constantly called upon to act in the
capacity of judge-deciding be-
tween the opportunities of those
who seek favors and the rights
and interests of the public. Unless
his sympathies are right the few are
sure to have an advantage over the
many, for the masses have no one
to present their claims. They ac.
only at elections, and must trust
their representatives to protect
them from all heir foes.
The presiden must have know
ledge of public questions and the
ability to discern between the true
and the false; he must be able to an
alyze the conditions and to detcc.
the sophistries that are always en-
ployed by those who seek unfair ad
vantages.
He must possess the moral cour
age to stand against the Influences
that are brought to bear in favor of
special interests. In fact, the quail
ity of moral courage is as essential
in public official as either right
sympathies or a trained mind.
"A president must have counsell-
ors, and to make wise use of coun-
sellors he must be open to conyic-

tion. The president is commi1Aed
by his platform to certain policies,
and the platform is binding; he is
, also committed to certain princi-
pies of government, and these he is
in duty bound to apply in all mat
ters that come before him.
But there Is wide zone in
which he must act upon his own
judgment. and here he ought to have
the aid of Intelligent. conscientious
and faithful advisers. The law pro-
vldes these to certain extent in
giving him cabinet, and the vice.
president ought to be made a mem
Der of the cabinet, ex-officio, in or
der. first, that the president may
have the benefit of his wisdom and
knowledge of affairs, and, second.
that the vice-president may be bet
ter prepared to take up the work of
the president in case of vacancy in
the presidential Office. There ought
to be cordial relations also tween
the president and those who occupy
positions of influence in coordinate
branches of the government, for our
government is not one-man gov
ernment, but government in which
the chosen representatives of the
people labor together to give express
sion to the will of the voters
But the presidency is the high
est position in the world, and it's
occupant is an important factor in
all national affairs If he is a de-
vout believer in our theory of gov
ernment, recognizes the constitu-
tional distribution of powers. trusts

sympathlzes with them in their AS

While the burdens of sucb m
