A Word of Kindly AdmOnitiOn 10
the HOke Smith Legislature


Hoke Smith body. When he told you to
lynch a Railroad Commissioner, you did it.
You wasted so much time over it that you
didn't do anything else that session. You
signalized the commencement of the present
session by prevailing upon your hero to enter
the race for Governor.
So far, so good This is free country,
and every Georgian inherts the right to run
for office, or to run from 0ne At present, a
bird's-eye view of the political situation fails
to locate any office that is seeking the man.
But you couldn't shoot off a scatter-gun, in
any given direction, without endangering the
lives and limbs of numerous patriots who are
DANGEROUSLY seeking snug and profitable en-
ployment in the public service The fact,
therefore, that the Hon Hoke Smith joins in
the pleasures of the chase, IS interesting but
not surprising.
Now what / have been coming to in this
easy, gradual, if not graceful manner, is this:
If you want him elected you'd better get busy
and do something for Old Man Peepul. That
old gentleman is model of patience, as we'll
as of submission to whatever is done in the
name of Government. But he is beginning
to wonder how long it's going to be before
something is going to be done for him. He
sees Congress and the various Legislatures
doing a vast deal for the corporations who
want special favors; but he can't, for the life
of him, see where he's getting anything.
Old Man Peepul hasn't forgotten though
his memory is woefully short-that you came
mighty near passing the Eminent Domain
bill at the last session-a bill which was in
violation of the spirit of our new Constitu-
ton. and which meant a free gift of millions
of dollars to the railroads.
Only four or five of you Senators voted
against that outrageous measure, my honored
friend, Judge H. II. Perry (who really must
take the field to beat Tom BelD, being one of
those who opposed it. In the lower House, it
was apparently scheduled for quick and quiet
passage. It just 50 happened that Red
topped Person, at Thomson, Georgia, caught,
in a hasty glance through the morning pa
pers, the words ''En2i11ent DOMAINE. Know
ing the terrible significance of those two
words, said Red-topped Person (who was by
trade lawyer) jumped to the telephone, got
off some kilograms to Atlanta, and thus
scotched the snake.
Now let me tell you something that's to 90
no further:
XIII that snake, th20ac 1t out, and hang al
up on the nearest bush, so that Old Man Pee
pM can see for himself that the reptile as
dead! Unless you do this, Old Man Peepul
will hold Hoke Smith responsible, for y0W are
h1ooa0m as Hohe Smiths Legislature. You
proved that when you lynched McLendon at
the special request of Governor Smith.
At the last session you went against Old
Man Peepul on the matter Of the Income Tax
That old gentleman knows that you did SC
because of the influence of the lobby hired by
the corporations and the millionaires. Not a
millionaire himself to any considerable de-
gree, he knows that upon his back have been
placed the greater share of the burdens OF
taxation.

''Washington, March 1O.-Sx members of the
Georgia observation-disclosures. Edwards, of the First;
Grggs, of the Second Livingston of the Fifth;
Lee of the Seventh; Howard of the Eighth and
Brantley, of the Eleventh, bolted the Democratic
party yesterday afternoon, and Joined with the
regular Republicans of the House is perpetuating
Cannonism the czar-like methods of the Speak

'FThey went back the action of the party
caucus which all of them had attended earlier in
the day Mr.. Lee, however, stayed with his party
all previous ballots.
tThe Fitzgerald rule resolution which
adopted a substitute for the regular Demo-
cratic resolution, is Improvement the
Ubiquitous ones that have heretofore governed in
the House. In the light of sober Judgment, after
nights rest following excitement and turmoil of
yesterday, Democrats regard them worse
in many respects than the old rules against which
the people have clamored.
Inspired by Speaker
cit is openly asserted today and was charged
in the House yesterday that the Fitzgerald resO-
luton inspired by the Speaker himself, and
the fact that every regular Republican voted for
it's passage indicates that there may be some
thing in the charge.
1T is also claimed that the Tammany Demo-
grassland FITZGERALD is a Tammany man-re-
ceived Geographic and telephone orders from
headquarters in New York to stand by Cannon.
And every Tammany Democrat, except Sulzer,
voted for the Fitzgerald proposition, as did the
six Georgians
''Following the action of the House in adopt
ing the Fitzgerald resolution the Democrats met
in caucus, and stormy scene ensued.
"The attitude of the regular Democrats toward
the boilers evinced when Mr. Edwards, of
the First attempted to offer resolution of minor

the action of the Democrats who did not stand
up to the party and it is recorded that things be-

them one two GeOrgianS, withdrew rather
than face the music.
I'm voting for the Fitzgerald resolution, it is
admitted that the Georgia and other Democrats
it assured mo immediate relief really accom-
pshed nothing.
'The Fitzgerald resolution not only offers
immediate relief but, as stated, perpetuates the
very thing they claimed to oppose.
"In the midst of the excitement in the House
on the Fitzgerald proposition, one of the Georgia
boilers remarked to another Democrat that he
knew the insurgent Republicans would not stand
up, and in return addressed as a damned
old hypocrite' because the insurgents were
standing up and never fnched minute
