MR.. WATsoN'S ADDRESS TO RICHMOND
COUNTY VOTERS IN THE JUNE
4TH PRIMARY.
4TH PRIMARY.

1t is known to every well-informed citizen
in the state that on the night of September
the first, 1904, I made q speech in the city
Of Atlanta, in the course Of which, ridiculed
the fear Of negro domination which the dem
ocratio leaders had so often used as bugaboo
to compel the Southern people to submit to
the political tyranny Of Wall Street and East
ern capitalism. In that speech I said in sub
stance: If You really are as much afraid Of
negro domination as you say you are, / here
and now propose to you that if you will run
a candidate on the democratic ticket for Gov
ernor Of Georgia, and pledge this candidate to
the disfranchisement of the negro, just as he
has been disfranchised in other Southern
states, l pledge you the support Of the Peo-
pies party for that candidate
Some months after this speech was deliv-
cred, Congressman Hardwick came to my
house and told me that if was in earnest on
that proposition which / had made on the
night Of September the first, in Atlanta, he
thought that the disfranchisement law could
be adopted in Georgia. We discussed the sub
ject fully from that point Of view, and we
finally decided on the main planks of the
platform, and we also agreed upon the candi-
date who was to make the race. This was
the Honorable Pope Brown
After the campaign had been under way for
some weeks, and everything was moving
smoothly, was astonished to read in the pa
pers that Pope Brown had retired and that
Hoke Smith had taken his place. No one had
consulted me on the subject Of making any
change and I felt greatly dissatisfied that a
change had been made. There were certain
good reasons why it was extremely difficult
and distasteful for me to support Hoke Smith.
I wrote to Mr.. Hardwick and to John Tenn
pie Graves, both Of whom we're in my conf
dence and Mr.. Hardwick came to see me
about it. He assured me that he had acted
in the utmost good faith, thinking that it
would all be right with me. He appealed to
me, on account Of the principle at stake, to
yield my objection to Hoke Smith, and to
give him my cordial support. After several
weeks of hesitation, during which interval
Hoke Smith had publicly and privately dis

again. Ills step is Spr1ngy, his eyes
bright, and the ever present smile is
there.
The great afterdinner speaker, once
in a class by himself, then, owing to un-
fortunate circumstances and i'll health,
having shown reversal of form, is in
shape once more, and back where he be-

His return to. the list of entertainers
is recognized wherever he goes, and the
calls for 'Chauncey' are loud and last

Hats of-tChauncey is himself

The above is clipped from the Wash
ington, D. D., Herald, one Of our best
daily papers.
The New York World, which is like
wise one Of Our best daily papers, recent
~ had lengthy write-up Of Chauncey,
and the World, like the Herald, appear
ed to have forgotten all about those in
surance rascalities which were brought
home to Senator Depew."

DepeW, having access to 1ife-insurance
funds, pocketed part of them. In fact,
the annual appropriation which he made
in favor of himself, out Of said funds,
amounted to $4,000.
The services which Chauncey rendered,
in return for said ten thousand a year,
have never been specified. They appear
to have been imaginary.
The truth would seem to be that
Chauncey stole the money because of
the torce of example. Everybody else
who could reach these trust funds was
pocket1ng part Of them, and Chauncey-
being in Rome and a Roman-did what
all the well-regu1ated Romans were do
ing.
Life-insurance funds are supposed to
be sacred. They are supposed to be set
apart for the use and benefit of the wild
ow and the orphan.
To rob living men, who at least have
the chance to resist or recOup, is bad
enough, heaven knows! but to embezzle
trust funds, dedicated to the use of the
helpless members Of the family after the
man of the house has been carried out,
feet foremost, is horrible.
