LEE O'NE|L BROWNE To Be
HEARD At LOR|MER PROBE
Woman Tells of Statement
Made to Her by C. A.
White
(By Associated Press.)

CHICAGO, Oct 6.-Minority Leader
Lee ONeil Browne, who is under in
dictment in connection with the election
of United States Senator Lorimer, is to
submit to the ordeal Of being asked ques-
tons by the Lorimer investigating COM
mittee. This was decided upon yesterday
by the United States senator's who are
inquring into the motives Of the legisla-
tors who voted for the Junior senator.
The same ruling was made in the case
of State Senator John Broderick. now
under Indictment on the charge of having
bribed State Senator d. w. Holstlaw to
vote for Senator Lorimer, and applies
also to Representative Robert E. Will
son, against whom bribery charges also
are pending.
Neither Browne nor Broderick, who
were on the stand for a few moments
today. were questioned beyond formal
request for their names. on the plea of
Attorney Thomas Dawson, counsel for
EACH that he wished to confer with his
associate counsel before advising his c;-
ents what course to pursue. The COM
mittee granted counsel until tomorrow
morning to decide his course.
MISS WOODS ON STAND.
Miss Katherine A. Woods, of East st.
Louis, was summoned to rebut testimony
of Representative Charles A. White. Miss
Woods declared that in the fall of 1909
White took her to dinner and told her
he was writing a history of his life and
the occurrences in the legislature and ex-
pected to make a fortune out of it and
that Lorimer and his bunch would
have to pay him enough to keep him
for life or he would make ii hot for
Lorimer and his friends
The witness said White told her he
was going to run for congress, had spent
$1,000 on his history and that he did not
fear results, for he had influential
friends.
Her testimony was in direct contradic-
ton to what White said on the stand.
Fred Zentner related the same circum-
stances and conversation and also gave
practically word for word the testimony
he had previously given in detailing the
conversation.
Senator FREEZER cross-examined zent-
ner.
You had been drinking all evening.
had you?" he asked
HAD BEEN DRINKING.
Yes, SIR was the reply.
Were you gentlemanly drunk at the
timer?
The answer was inaudible.
white was even more drunk than
your"
Yes, sir" replied the witness.
Then you can say that White was
very drunk and that you were reasonably
drunk?"
Yes, SIR" said Zentner.
Zentner said that he, White and
Browne took two lake trips together and
had returned from one the morning be-
fore the conversation, which was August
49, 1909. Neither Sturmer nor Zentner in
formed Browne of Whites words until
after Whites confession was published.

SMITH MAKES HIS FIRST
PROPHECY ON CAMPAIGN
Continued from Page One

Mr.. Smith continues to swell and grow
in every county Of Georgia as the voters
see more and more clearly who stands
for the public interest and who stands
for the special interests.
Mr. McCord disclaimed any response
bility for the card of the Atlanta auxil-
iary, international Association. of Ma
chinsts, regarding Governor Browns re-
fusal to subscribe to the needs of that
auxiliary. He said that the matter was
one which could be argued by the auxil-
iary with propriety, but which head
quarters could not handle with good
taste.
LIKE 1T WAS IN 1906.
According to w. p. Young, the politi-
cal outlook in the state as, exactly as 1t
was in 1906. Mr.. Young is travelling
man and has been all over Georgia since
the campaign began.
Mr. Young was confident OF MT
Smiths election in 1906 and predicted
his defeat in 1908. He, now declares
that Mr.. Smith will carry from SO to
JOG couities, beyond the shadow OF q
doubt. that he will lose none that ne
carried before, and will carry the fol

Brown has lost in the present campaign

Halves Unbroken
Record Against
the People

No Candidate for public office has
such an unbroken record against the
interests of the people confronting him
as that of Mr.. P. NJ. Halves, now a
candidate for State Treasurer.
For ten years in the house or SEN
ate he has opposed, fought and voted
against all progressive measures in
voted against The Child Labor Bill"
See house Journal, 1900, page 464. He
voted against this bill the second time
1903; see pages house Journal 1S3-1s4.
He voted against the bill regulating
the hours Of Telegraph Operators, a
bill in the interests of the safety and
better protection of the travelling pub
lie. See Senate Journal. 1908, pages
522-523. He voted against the "em-
ployers' Liability Bill" in which the
laboring people were so much interested.
See Senate Journal. 1908, page 551.
He voted against the bill requiring
locomotives with Electric headlights
for the better protection Of the travel
ing public. See Senate Journal 1908,
pages SO and 701. He voted against
Railroad Commission bill. See Senate
Journal, 1907, page 6s3; against
adjustment of Convict lease system,
a gainst the anti-lobbying bill. The dis
franchisement measure, so vital to the
welfare of the white people OF this
State, failed to receive his support.
While Mr.. Halves in his literature
brags about owning Bank, l do not
suppose he will undertake to keep all
the States money in his own bank.
AS the race for Governor is between
Governor Brown and Mr.. Smith. who
are both nice gentlemen. one of them
is going to be elected. Does Mr.. Halves
think II will be to the interests of the
State for him TO be Treasurer, especial
ly If Mr. Smith should be elected, for
It certainly would be unpleasant for him
with his political and personal feelings,
and after all the mean things he has
said about Mr., Smith.
] do not hlRme Mr.. Halves for being
a Director Of the Southern Railroad, and
riding over the country on free pass
es, II he has not let IL influence him
and made him vote and work against
tho interests Of the people 1t seems
that Mr. Halves in his legislative ca
ceer was against everything that the
people wanted. and yet, now asks them
10 elect him TO a most responsible Of
nce. Does he think that this long rec
ord against their interests will not be
remembered by the voters on the 23rd OF
August? Let him wait and see.

some suspicion on both him and myself

Gov. Brown Answers Card
of Atlanta MaChinists


That he did not refuse to sign the
subscription list of the Atlanta auxili-
airy No. /, International association of
Machinists, because. (as the card of that
auxiliary quotes him as saying) he
would sign no paper that bore the name
of Hoke Smith, but that he did decline
to sign it because he could not afford to
give, is the statement that is published
as coming from Governor Brown in re-
ply to the card of the Atlanta auxiliary
l. A. of NJ, published in Atlanta and
other daily papers Saturday and Sun
day.
Governor Brown is quoted in that
card, which bears the seal of the lodge,
as having refused so fatty that the
committee was embarrassed, and tn en-
as having pointed to the signature Of
Hoke Smith, leading the contribution
list. and saying that he would not put
his name on any paper which bore that
signature,
In the press statement Governor
Brown Is quoted as saying in reply to
| this that he remembers the incident per-
, fectly, and that he told the gentlemen
who called on him that he always re-
sponded as far his means would per-
init to calls for assistance in church,
work, charitable and benevolent organi-
cations, ETC., but he regretted he could
not respond to all. His attention was
then called TO the contribution. of Mr..
Smith, he says. and his reply was that
he supposed Mr.. Smith responded to
great many calls of this kind, as he did,
but that charity should be kept separate
from politics.

sponsibility for the card or its publica-
tfon, to which Governor Brown replies.
