this is why columbus remained so
benighted politically until Hon. Hoke
Smith struck the scales from the eyes
of her people in 1905
Our people encountered ridicule,
SANDER and abuse. 1t is harder to
face these things than minnie balls or
cannon shots. Yet with superb cour-
age and with zeal born of disinterest-
ed patriotism, our people stood by
their colors, and proclaimed their
principles.
The Farmers Alliance ushered in,
and the Peoples Party fostered and
perpetuated, the greatest educational
movement of the nineteenth century.
Now how changed are the times!
How popular our doctrines have be
come!
Our fundamental doctrine of ''euual
rights for all and special privileges
for none has never before had such
hold upon the public mind and con-
science. 1t is the creed now of every
L l.,
publican, and VIM. J. Bryan, the
Democrat, are proclaiming it as we'll
as Watson. Corporate officials
throughout the land are being prose-
cuted, convicted and punished for the
violation of this principle.
''The election of all officers by the
people," another one of our princi-
pies, and an important one, has been
put into practice in Georgia, since we
began to agitate it. If we but reflect
how few officials were elected by the
people, when we raised this cry in
behalf of popular government, and
then consider that all officers are now
practically elected by the people, we
will see how widespread this doctrine
has become. We cite only the case
OF the judiciary. At the beginning of
this crusade, no judge in Georgia was
elected by popular vote, except the
justices of the peace; and now thew
are all elected. The result has been
that judicial tyranny has been wined
out in our State courts.
Government ownership of rail
roads,, was stumbling block in our
path in 1894. 1t then met a hostile
reception at the hands of the public
Now it is a general favorite. The

CURED and is operating the Panama
Railroad, which spans the Isthmus of
Panama, and connects the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans. Nobody went
into commissions over it. Some months
go the Chamber of Commerce of At
lanta passed resolutions endorsing the
extension Of the State Road to the
sea- The Democratic State Conven-
ton; which met at Macon on Septem-
Der 4, 1906, endorsed this extension.
The Atlanta Journal in it's last three

strong editorials, boldly advocates the

these doctrines. Rotten eggs were

our political tenets. Gen. Weaver

Macon, the seat of university, and

world. This took place in a land
