ELIMINATE THE NEGRO.
Tom Watson, Georgia POpulist, De-
hVers Address Covering All Sub
Jects, From Religion to Politics.

Atlanta, Sept. 2.-Declaring that
the world is ''plunging hellward,"
Thomas E. Watson, former populist
candidate for president, delivered an
address in the auditorium here to-
night which covered topics from re-
hgion to politics and from foreign
missions to disfranchisement of the
negro.
After "sGuaring himself" with the
church folk on what he termed they
misconception Of his views as to for
eign missions and adequate pay FOR
ministers, Mr.. Watson devoted him
self to politics and finally came 10
the real purpose Of his discourse, the
unfolding Of a plan whereby the
South may rid itself Of the negro in
politics.
THE hour has struck for the South
to say that the 18th amendment is
not law and will no longer be re-
spected," said Mr.. Watson. 'tOur
State legislature must propose an
amendment to our State constitution
restricting suffrage to the whites. A
white face and a set of tax receipts
are all the requirement that should
be asked Of a voter"
Mr.. Watson declared that now IS
the time Of the Democrats to make
the fight, when the Republican party
is divided and anxious to rid itself Of
the negro office seekers. He told his
hearers that there isn't the slight
est danger that the North and East
will fight the South again about the
negro" He said they realize the
blunder they made in giving the pe-
gro the franchise, but even if they
wanted to attack the South, he said,
they would find the West lined I'D
with this section because Of a "coI-
or question out there"
I'VE mean to elect a governor
| who will have the backbone to stand
for the rights Of the people. The all
