the extravagant hand with which the
peoples money is being spent.
Watson Greets Eve.
Mr.. Eve told the people he is not
running on his family, but that he
put himself in the race without get
ting the consent of any politician or
set of them. He said he was not run
ming against Mr.. Hardwick, but is
running for Congress, and expects to
go there. He referred to Mr. Hard
wick's inactivity in the matter of good
roads through Federal aid, and his
claim that he is the one man in the
whole country who was able to save
the people two and a half cents on
every pound of coffee they used, when
as matter of fact he was not. He
touched upon Hardwick's changed at
titude in the matter of rotation in
office, when it suited his purposes to
flop about on it, and was given ap-
plause.
Three or four times he mentioned
Mr. Watson's name, and on each oc-
casiOn it was followed with applause.
Watson Again Appears on the Scene.
During the speech of Mr.. Evans Mr..
Watson had not returned from his
home, and for time there was some
question as to whether or not he
would return, and during this time an
outside representative, from beyond
the district, made an effort to create
a sentiment of disappointment among
the people. Just before the conclu-
sion Of Mr.. Ewes speech, however,
Mr.. Watson came upon the ground,
worked his way through the crowd
and took his position on the ground
just at the edge of the speakers
stand. Immediately he was recog-
nized by gestures, but there was no
interruption of Mr.. Ewes speech by
an outbreak.
AS Mr. Eve concluded his speech
Mr.. Watson quickly mounted the
stand, took Mr.. Eve by the hand with
both of his, and shook hands very
was greeted in pretty much the same
manner as that of the morning, and,
as he turned to address the crowd,
voices called out:
"Tom, Old Man Peepul and all the
boys are here yet.
"Say, Tom, you sure look good
And the last remark was followed
by storm of laughter, to which Mr..
Watson replied, when there was
quiet: ''Well, boys, I've been accused
of lot of things, but l believe that's
the first time I've ever been accused
Of looking good"
Speech Short and Pointed.
Mr.. Watson's second speech was
short and pointed, with the very evil
dent idea of driving home those
things which he had said previously.
He launched into the matter of the
new district convention rule and the
claim that his private record was his
own. He said:
"Some time ago, Hardwick tried
to bluff certain situation through
on us. In a speech in Augusta he said
that his private character was his
personal property, his private prop
erty, and the public had nothing to
do with it, and no business with it.
Such proposition is astounding and
shocking; the very idea. But it did
not take him long to find that he had
made a blunder. The claim had been
made that he was corrupt, and he
took the position that he had no right
to discuss it.
'He was taken to task for that
foolish notion in the columns Of The

that speech. Did you hear him say
that or not?''
And Mr.. Culbreath replied from
the crowd that he did hear it.
EYES," said Mr.. Watson, "and
there were others of you ther, who
heard him say 1.-THE miserable lit
tie liar. He's got no right to asso-
ciate with ladies and gentlemen; he's
out of place with them.
New Rule Hardwick Trick.
"But, so much for that. What
we've got to do now is to get rid of
that new rule of his. It's Hardwick
trick, Matched in his own brain to put
himself back in Congress without
your vote, without the vote of the
counties and without the consent of
the people. You boys go home, cir
culate a notice calling county meet
ings-and don't wait, do this next
week. Have those meetings denOunce
this new rule. 1t goes back on the
principles of Democracy-you remenl-
Der how, back in 1880 it used to take
two-thirds, and after that it took a
majority? That's when Colquitt came
before the people for endorsement,
and it was taken then that majority
was the voice Of the people. We
want to have some kind of ma
jority now, either a majority of the
counties or a majority of the people,
we want the county unit rule put
back, and nobody has ever had the in
science, the greed, the defiance of the
people in his heart to try to go to
Con tho nf min
of the people and of the counties ex-
cept Hardwick.
"But, we have had enough of this
one-man-power and we are going to
put an end to it. You boys rise up in
your strength and say you are not go
ing to allow anybody to abrogate
your power. Let Old Man Peepul rise
up on his hind legs and say this, and
| tell you it will be felt. You can do
that and l will have Hardeman get
his committee togethfr again and re-
scind that rule; I'll get it back to the
place where the man who goes to
Congress will go there on a majority
of some sort.
''Now, all you boys when you go
home you help me work for this, help
me fix it so that the man who goes to
Congress will go there with the nomi-
nation of the people. Those of you
who are going to do that, who are go
ing to call those meetings next week
and denounce this thing, hold up your
right hands,
And it is the result of this last di
rect appeal made by Watson that
leaves room for no other belief than
that contained in the first paragraph
of the foregoing: watson is going
to rescind the rule doing away with
the county unit system
In the Hearts of His People.
That Watson was personally salts
fed with his meeting is indicated in
his manner of concluding it; his
every expression, the very tone of his
voice bespoke that satisfaction.
''In the old days, when the storm
was beating upon my head, my
friends used to say that they won
dered how I stood it. I used to tell
them that I was looking through the
clouds to the sunlight beyond, for
was sustained by serene confidence
that the approval of the people would
once more rest upon my head. In
those dark days, following the loss of
my seat in Congress, I used to de-
clare in my public speeches that the
politicians might steal from me the

We have a recollection that some
years ago Mr. William ]. Bryan was
denounced by the Republican party
and especially by Theodore Roosevelt
for eriticislng the Supreme Court;
now Teddy has followed his example
in this respect and done the same
thing. We presume this will end
Roosepelt's stealing of Bryan's thun-
der. because there Is no measure that
Bryan has ever advocated or thing he
has done. that Theodore has not
promptly adopted. He has nothing

Democrats is recognized. but the peo=
pie will surely not be fooled b
special promises. into trusting this
act of revision 10 the Republican
party The revision promised before
was one n the interest Of the people.
but its working has showed that Il
was in the interest OF the trusts. :
special session Of Congress was call
ed by Taft for this purpose. and It
spent long and weary months IN pre-
pairing schedules which would work
effectively for the benefit of the
special interests. Trusts that did not
have their representatives in the Sen
ate OF House. had their special
agents on hand. and their wishes and
desires we're gratified In every IN
stance aud the public ignored
With such a record 1t is hard 70

have the temerity Of asking to be
trusted again With the revision Of the
