Daily Paper
The following paragraphs, taken from the
Augusta Herald, are the Poll Parrot notes of
party hack:
The Herald has not forgiven CONGRESSMAN
howard for the part he. took in sustaining
speaker Cannon in his control of the house.
winch made possible the passage of the in
famous tariff law that has so greatly in
creased the cost of living Still less does
Inc Herald now think that Mr.. Howard took
tne rlght attitude in going to the Re-
pub1cans at that time. The Herald now
supports Mr. Howard because he is the Demo-
cratic nominee, regularly chosen by the peo-
pie OF the Eighth district to represent them
IN the next congress- according to the party
rules.
democratic or white solidarity is of far
greater Importance to Georgia and the South
IMAM any other question, and for this reason
mdependentlsm must not be sustained. Be-
sizes, every man who participated in the
primary is in honor bound to abide it's result
and just as The Herald insisted that those
who supported Joe Brown in the primary
were in honor bound to support Hoke Smith
in the regular election, so it now gives it's
moral support to w. NJ Howard in the
Eighth, although it condemned his action in
the speakership matter.
citizen of Augusta who makes no pre-
tensions to learning, and whose writing is
that of a workman, clipped this shameful
editorial and sent it to me with the following
comment:
Augusta, Ca, October 49, 1910
Hon. T. E. Watson.
Dear Friend: l will write you few lines
concerning a piece | saw in the Augusta
Herald today. 1t seems that they are aware
OF Bill Howards selling out to Joe Cannon,
ana for all that they advise the people of the
Eighth district to vote for Howard regard

rascals have caused the people throughout
the South to suffer by their hellish work in
D0LrdVlng
Let the people be damned, far as they are
concerned! And then the Herald will advise
the people to vote for Howard because they
claim that he is the nominee of the Demo-
cratic party. They rotten as Bill is
for suppose they have sold out both soul
and body to the Rule-or-Ruin party They
try to make the people think they are honor
bound to vote for him, but say for one, it
is lie; the people are not bound to any
such rotten rascality. My advice to all lovers
OF good government and justice is to ignore
the Augusta Herald. | would no more let it
come into my house than would a thief 1
will send you this clipping for fear you have
not seen it; and I say, Hurrah for Tom
Watson May you live to run all these
rascals off the earth.
With best wishes to you for your great
success, l beg to remain,
Your friend,
Citizen of Augusta.

To pretend that there is any such issue in the
Eighth Congressional District is sheer hy-
pocrlsy.
Here we have editor who pretends to be
on the side of the people against the Preda-
tory Interests, making the admission that
Democratic Congressman betrayed his trust,
deserted his own leader, went over to the
Republicans, and gave them the indispensable
aid which enabled them to retain substan-
TALLY the Joe Cannon rules, which, in turn,
