Tom WatSOn'S Version of Glover
Case, Written, But Not Pub
lished During Campaign
choke SMITH REPLIES
TO THOMAS e. WATSON

Ex-Governor Hoke Smith sends to The
Constitution card in reply to one published
by Thomas E. Watson, in which Mr.. Watson
referred to the Glover case. Mr.. Smiths
card is as follows:
Editor Constitution: In your issue of yes
terday you published card from Hon.
Thomas E. Watson, which contained ex-
tract from letter dated August 2, written
and sent from my campaign headquarters, in
reply to letter from gentleman in Clarke
county.
While have supervised and written nearly
all of the personal mail that left my head
quarters, August l left Atlanta for
Walton county, and the particular letter
which Mr.. Watson quoted written and
my name signed to it by one of my secre-
taries.
I did not see or know of the contents of
the letter until I saw it in Mr. Watson's card
My reason for calling attention to this
matter from this letter unexplained, places
me in false position.
After declining to commute the sentence
of Glover I went to Washington City. The
sentence had not been executed, and there I
was shown by Hon. Thomas w. Hardwick a
telegram from Mr.. Watson stating, in sub
stance, as | recall it, that if [ did not COM
mute Glover's sentence he could never for
give me.
From this telegram, and from my knowl-
edge of the intense feeling that Mr.. Watson
had upon this subject, l was convinced that
the cause of his opposition to me in my Sec
ond race for governor my failure to COM
mute the sentence of Glover. I have express
ed this opinion to Mr.. Hardwck and to others
number of occasions.
AS these are the facts, ask that you give
them the same prominence which you gave
to the extract from the letter from my head
quarters published in the card of Mr.. Wat
son. HOKE SMITH.
Atlanta, Ca, August IL, 1910.
The letter which Ex-Governor Smith ha
given to the press astonishes me and will,

State. They are convinced that my neutralit

did not refuse the communication until after
christmas, and IN 1908. Consequently, if I
can show, by unimpeachable evidence, that
was criticizing Governor Smith for his change
of attitude on important questions, some
months before, all fair-minded people must
agree that his action in the Glover case had
nothing to do with my course in the campaign
of 1908.

Inasmuch as that Legislature was the one
which defeated the Anti-Lobby Bill, and
other pet reform measure of ours, was shock
ed when the Governor gave it that public ex-

self meant TO go into the Counties of those
Reactiomaries and fight their reelection. We
understood that he meant to summon the
Legislature to an extra session for the pur-
pose OF making another effort to get our re-
form measures passed. Mr.. James r. GRAY,
however, on his return from Europe in Sep
TENDER, 1907, had editorially stated in The
Journal that an extra session would be "a
foolish thing" And that settled it. The
Governor not only abandoned the idea of call
ing an extra session, but took a bacl-traclz
generally.

for him in 1906, that he would never de-
nounce me for my opposition to him in 1908.
"We are now even", the Ex-Governor would
say; and those of my friends who have been
at his headquarters came away with the i'm
preston that he wanted peace.
You can very we'll realize then how great
was my amaZement when he allowed Hard

call every impartial man to witness that
Hardwick was the aggressor in the war on
me, and that Smith is the aggressor in the
present instance. Let me first lay before you
the entire letter from which was taken
the quotation which Ex-Governor Smith re-
pudiates:
Headquarters Hoke Smith Campaign Committee,
Fifth Floor Peters Building.
Atlanta, Ca, August 2, 1910.
Mr.. James J. Green, Athens, Ga.
My Dear Mr.. Green: Your valued favor of the
list instant to hand this morning, and have
carefully noted contents Of same I note what
you say relative to the attitude of Mr. Watson in
the present gubernatorial campaign: I am
tainly glad to know that Mr.. Watson does not
pect to oppose me in this race. 1t was matter
of deep regret to me that Mr. Watson fit to
oppose me in my last race; however, I never i'm
pugned his motives in the slightest for the position
that he took This is a free country and every
voter has the right to support whatever candidate
and whatever principles he sees fit. l am sure
that Mr.. Watson did what he thought right in
opposing me and, before stated, have never
questioned his motives in the slightest.
The reports that I am receiving from all sec
tiOns of the state are very encouraging indeed,
and I do not think that there is any question but
that will carry the state by very large ma
jority. l beg to assure you that deeply appre-
cate the interest you taking in my behalf, and
wi m thAr
friends in Clarke county in their efforts to carry
the county for me this time.
With kindest regards and best wishes, beg to
remain, Sincerely yours
(Signed) HOKE SMITH.
Does the 1eaoing Of that letter give you the
impression that 1t aOas personal, or not? Does
1t not harnaonise perfectly qUith the style IN
achich Hole Smith has been talking to mig
friends IN his headquarters and elsewhere? Is
1t not consistent auith other letters that he has
aoritten to may friends IN various parts of the
State?
The signature was examined carefully. 1t
seems exactly similar to the signature to au-
tograph letters of his that in my possess
sion. You can generally tell when the sigma
ture is stencilled to a letter. If that name was
not written at the bottom of that letter with
a pen that was held in the hands of Holxe
Smith himself, he has some one in his head
quarters who can initiate his signature with
such perfection as to deceive an expert.
Upon certain telegram ex-Gov Smith
bases his belief that [ opposed his reelection
in 1908, because of his refusal to commute
Glover's sentence to life-term in the peni-
tertiary. In justice to me, he should have
quoted the telegram more fully. 1t was word

Upon a certain telegram, ex-Gov. Smith
bases his belief that I opposed his reelection
in 1908, because of his refusal to commute
Glovers sentence to hfe-term in the peni-
tertiary. In justice to me, he should have
quoted the telegram more fully. 1t was word

Hardwick's possession will show:

dragged into his case to prejudice 1t, and he IS
not a man of sound mind. Tell Governor
Smith that If he azzoaUs Glover to hang, his
conscience aoiW mever forgive him; nor aoiW
l."
AS any one can see, that was a last, pas
sionately earnest appeal to save my friends
life. Governor Smith himself should be mag
unanimous enough to admit that such tele-
gram was natural under the circumstances,
being the result of great mental excitement
and anguish.
But it is not necessary for me to ask any
one to take my word for it, that my opposi-
ton to Governor Smith in 1908 did mot grow
out of his refusal to commute Glover's SEN

TO PROTECT B
6aIIinger Furnishes Draft of Drastic
Measure.

Washington, March 9.-Secretary
Ballinger today sent to congress a
draft Of a bill intended to amend the
criminal laws of the United States so
as to make more definite provisions
for the punishment of the crime of
u~nlaWfully cutting timber from Indian
allotments and to define the crime and
provide punishment for the wilful de-
struction by fire upon indian reserva-
ions and allotments.
The experience of the department
with reference to this class of offenses
has shown the need of legislation of
this character. The draft of the bill
proposes a fine of $500 c. imprison-
ment not over a year for unlawfully
cutting timber on government or
Indian reservations. The bill provides:
Whoever shall Wilfully set fire to tim
Der, timber under brush, grass or in
other words starts a forest or prairie
fire, shall be fined $4,000 o be imprison-
ed not over two years.
1t is further provided as a safeguard
that one who shall be caught building
or having built a fire in or near any
forest timber or other inflamable ma
terial upon the public domain shall
be fined not more than 81, 600 or i'm
prisoned not more than one year.

STRIKERS ENCOURAGED.
Unorganized Labor Joins in Philadel-

Philadelphia, Pa, March 10.-En-
couraged by the success which has
met their efforts at breaking into the
ranks Of u~nOrganized labor and per-
suading several thousand workers in
this city to join the general strike
movement, the union labor leaders
continue their campaign today to swell
the army of sympathizing strikers.
Baldwh's locomotive works, where
1000 men quit yesterday, and which
wa; considered almost i~mpregnable
against uniOnism, was again the object
of much attention, the labor leaders
hoping to add to the ranks of the idle
men before the close of the Cay. The
success in penetrating Baldwin's
works is likely to lead to moves
against other large industrial plants
that are considered "Ope1 shop places.

strike, has given out figures to sup
port the assertion that ~etween 125, 900

and girls on strike up to last night as
