Here Are Some Questions that the
Constituents of Pussy-fOOt Bill
Howard Should Ask Him
at All of His Meetings

CD IF your desertlOn to old Joe Cannon
on March Is, 1909, did not give him the rules
which he wanted and enabled him to jam
through Congress the eight hundred and fifty
amendments which Aldrich added to the
Tariff Bill in the Senate, why is it that you
did not object to the publication of Cannon's
speech before the Knife and Fork Club of
Kansas City, Missouri last November, in
which the statement occurs that if the Demo
Gratis had remained united, the Republicans
could not have passed the Tariff Bill which
sent upwards the cost of living!
(2) WHY did not you rise from your seat
In Congress and deny Cannons statement
when Watson challenged you SO often to do so?
(3) If Watson's charges against you are
not we'll founded why did you not make a
speech in Congress defending yourself against
him?
"a WHAT did you do for the Republicans
which causes them to do so much for you in
the way OF giving you patronage which nat
urally belongs to the Republicans instead of
to the Democrats?
(5) Why is it that you and old Lon Liv-
lngston, little Charles Edwards, Gordon Lee
and Bill Brantley are filing so many places
with Democrats under Republican admins
tration?
(6) How do you explain the fact that Car
ter Tate, a Democrat, holds down one of the
best Republican positions in the South if he
is not kept in his place by the influence of
yourself and jim Smith, the Convict King?
What other influence keeps him there?
(O DID the issuance of certain warrants
for peonage against jim Smith have any,
thing to do with the sudden humiliation
which Judge Bill Newman inflicted upon
that old Confederate soldier at Athens? Was
not the prosecution suddenly stifed in the
Federal Court? Did you not have appointed
in the Confederate soldiers place man who
is a tool of Jim Smith, and one who winks at
peonage?
(8) DID you not get dead drunk at the Ho-
tel after your debate with Judge Park?
Have you not gotten off of the train at Union
Point dead drunk time after time? Have you
not so impaired your memory by intemper-
ance that you forgot all about Watson's true
attitude in the campaign of 1896! Were you
not guilty of publishing an outrageous false
hood when you accuse Watson of running
against Bryan for President in 1896 and Sc
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1910-08-18
THE JEFF RSONIAN

curing twenty-seven votes for President in
the Electoral College?
(9) DID you not publish to the world that
Watson's getting those twenty-seven votes
elected Mckinley, brought on the Gold Stand
ard, the Dingey Bill, the rewenal of the Ma
tional Bank Charters, and the appointment of
the Negro Rucker as Collector of Internal
Revenue for Georgia? Were not these
charges absurdly false? How came you to
make them if you were sober and in your
right mind?
GO) DIDN'T you know that Watson worked
for Bryan in 1896, and that every one of the
twenty seven electors who voted for Watson
for Vice President voted for Bryan for Presi-
dent? Have you ever retracted or apologlzed
for publishing that outrageous libel?
(11) HAVE you ever made any strenuous eff
fort to do anything for your country? If so,
what was it!
Q2) WHAT is it that you intend to try to
do if you are returned to Congress-?
Q3) WHY was it in trying to blacken the
character of Watson you applied to Congress-
man Burke, stand-pat Republican, who was
selected by old Joe Cannon to 90 to Okla
homa and white-wash the characters of those
Republican crooks, who endeavored to de-
bauch Senator Gore?
(14) HAVE you not yourself said time and
again at Union Point and elsewhere that
there is not enough money on this earth to
buy Tom Watson?
(16) WHAT was the trade you made with
reference to the Greensboro Post Office?
az WHY did you have Ernest Clodfelter
fired from his job as Gin Census Reporter?
QS) EXPLAIN why you went back on
lifelong friend, Mr.. John Knott, of Appa-
lachee, Georgia, in the matter of the Appa-
lachee Post-O Office?
19) Why is it that you suddenly ceased
the correspondence that you began with Wat
son. and why is it that you have been trying
to blacken his character instead of indicating
your own? Why is it that such men as you
and Hardwick, who hate each other, come to-
gether so lovingly when Watson is trying to
put good men in Congress who will remem
Der their pledges to the people and who will
be sober and industrious!

Burke'S Charge Against Watson

watson offered
the Republicans for financial consideration we
do not know Representative Burke of North
Dakota, says he did. He himself SAYS he did not
If we look into the probabilities instead of the
certalnt1es this is what face:
Mr. Burke has no known motive for making the
assertion 1t it were not true If true, Tom Watson
would have as strong motive in denying it as
murderer would have in denying the preparation
OF the crime; for nothing that man can conceive
OF could be baser than the offense with which he is
charged At the time he running for Vice
President on the ticket with Mr.. Bryan whom he
was trying to sell out if Mr. Burke tells the truth
In the entire history of American politics we can
not recolect any man who guilty of as
base act, but it fits in perfectly with our con-
ception of Tom Watsons character.
man elected to Congress Democrat and
serving Populist might have done this.
man holding on to nomination on the ticket
with Bryan and thereby seeking to divide the cleo
toral vote when by withdrawing he would have
Increased Bryans chances of election might have
done this
man pretendedly running for President but
combining his efforts to State that the Democrats
were sure to carry if he did not draw off enough
votes to defeat them might have done this
Tom Watsons whole history is confederation of
this charge which involves turptude such
would think of charging against any other
man prominent in American politics.
But to disprove this charge of conference at
the Palmer House Tom Watson refers to the reg
lister of that hotel if he could not have
ferred with men in the hotel without himself be-
ing guest. Such a ridiculous assumption rather
weakens than strengthens his defense.
The above is taken from the Jacksonville
Times Union. One of the three owners is H.
M. Flager, of Standard Oil fame
Some years ago in a New York Magazine,
which bore my name, [ held up to public exc
Grafton the conduct of Flager in debauching
the Legislature of Florida in 1901, and secur-
ing, for himself the passage of an act whereby
he got divorce from his crazy wife in order
that he might marry girl whom he had
courted and become engaged to. before the bill,
qohich made mea0 zaao for Fzagzer, was intro
duced into the Legislature of Florida. No one,
so far, has had the hardihood to deny that
Flager simply bought that license to put
away his demented wife and to take another
in her place No one has ever denied that it
was quite the most Infamous sell-out that any
Legislature ever made. The man who led the
Flager forces and secured that abominable
law was rewarded Immediately afterwards
with indecent haste and munifcence
If my recollection is not badly at fault, the
act of the Legislature which Flagler had
bought was repealed after his marriage to the
woman, who now occupies the place which,
before God and man-belongs to that poor

CD Dear Bill: Did you not say in a speech at
Royston few weeks ago that if you were elected
President of the United States you could not serve,
as you were not born in the United States?
o. Dear Bill Do you remember CONVERSE
ton you had with me in Jury Room No. 2 OF the
old Court House at Hartwell, in which you said
you did not believe in Free Silver; that it was all
rot; but that you believed you could beat Lawson
on that issue, and were going to try it?

with instructions how to use it in your race
against Judge Lawson?

you had not eaten bite from Sunday until
Thursday that you were bare-headed the

courteous remarks Opon the Hayti

City of Hayti in general.
Now, so far as the Hayti Herald is
concerned, it does not care conti-
mental about the Steele News or any
thing it says. We realize that the
editor is young and inexperienced,
and as he is running paper which
he does not own, perhaps he is not
voicing his own sentiments or con-
ducting the paper just to his liking.
