Here's a Fair Sample of How the
GubernatOrial Election i'm
Georgia Went

Have you noticed the absence of detailed
information in regard to the election? Have
you been impressed with the unearthly silence
of the daily papers in regard to what hap
pened?
The truth of the business is, the Insurgent
Movement was magnificent success. The
Rule-or-Ruin clique are simply afraid to let
the people know the facts. Circumstantial
evidence of the most convincing nature points
to the conclusion that the ma jorlty claimed by
Hole Smith had to be manufactured.
Let us take Gwinnett County as a fair sam
pie That is one of the big counties of the
State, and it is geographically a part of the
Atlanta territory. Immediately preceding
the primary Of August %, Hole Smith held
a great rally at Lawrenceville, the county
site of Gwinnett. Every possible exertion was

made to draw large crowds The Monumental
Humbug of course delivered one of his hypo-
critical speeches, and then came the primary
AS reported in the Macon Telegraph, the
vote of Gwinnett was 1877 for Governor
Brown and 1922 for Smith
After the primary an Insurgent meeting
was held in Lawrenceville, and without the
use OF any further inducement than simple
notice in the papers, larger crowd than
Smith had drawn collected to hear Watson.
After this came the regular election. Again
we quote from the Macon Telegraph (Oct. 6,
191O): Smith, 1913; Brown, As: total vote, 238
Any one conversant with conditions in Gwin-
EFT and the size of the county must have felt
that the report was in error However, it was
not until our friend l.. P. Pharr, sent us the
returns as published in the county paper that
we had any idea what the real vote was We
give the figures below, and you will observe
that Brown not only carried half the pre-
cincts in the county, but he defeated Smith
in Lawrenceville itself.

Why is James n. Gray Afraid or
Ashamed TO Say Who Owns
The Atlanta journal?

If the stock in the Atlanta Journal is own
ed by men who are not afraid or ashamed to
have their names made public, why is it that
the secret is SO closely kept?
We know who owns the Macon Telegraph,
the Atlanta CONSTITUTIONS, the Augusta
Chronicle, the Georgian, the Rome Tribune
Herald, and, SO on. What we don't know
and thus far haven't been able to find outs,
who owns the Atlanta Journal
1t is the very echo of Hoke Smith, his Man
Friday, his faithful dog. For him it fetches
and carries; it points and retrieves; at his
word it takes the briar-patches and the cookie
burrs. At his ellie on, the Journal moves
at his ''steady now, it stops 1t hunts for him
with well-trained fidelity all the day long;
and when he condescends to pat it's head, it
whines delightedly, and it's tail wags mar
ticulate felicity.
owns this faithful creature. Then, who does?
somebody Dick Gray's creditors would like
very much to know whether it belongs to
him.
James Richard is the man who has public
speakers howled down at Auditoriums, and
who threatens to have publications that are
more respectable than the Journal thrown
out of the mails. He is also the person whose
honest creditors were assured, a couple of
years ago, that he only owned a watch and
shotgun Inasmuch as he took the Poney
homestead | guess his creditors didn't even
get the time piece or the gun.
1t would be right funny if those creditors
employed Luth Rosser, and he should dis
cover that property which is apparently be-
ing hidden away from Dick Gray's honest
creditors.

What Do the Moss back Papers
Expect to Gain by Misrepre-
Senting the Watson
Meetings?
Meetings. 7?

Meetings.?
You have noticed how the daily papers
have referred slightingly to the Watson meet
lngs You have doubtless suspected the
motive.
They are reluctant to admit that great
lnsurgent Movement is on in Georgia, and
that its leader is stronger with the people
than he ever has been.
Our meetings have been magnificent in size
and in spirit. The interest which the people
are beginning to take in public affairs
means that the old type of peanut politician
is going to be retired. There will be an ire
slstlbe demand for higher type of repre-
sentative, and a strlcter performance of public
duty
The daily papers may affect ignorance of
what is going on, but that will not alter con-
ditions. The demand for leadership in the
South was never SO great, and it must be met.
The people know that they have not been
treated right by the salary -grabbers, and they
mean to work a reformation.
In the beautiful city of Columbus, Georg ia,
it is said that fully three thousand people
had assembled to hear the address which was
to have begun at s o'clock p. NJ Having lost
our way repeatedly after leaving Greenville,
we were an hour and half late in reaching
Columbus. Not knowing whether the speaker
would arrive not it IS said that thousand
people left.
On account of the condition of his throat
and of the weather, Mr. Watson was unable
to speak in the open air and went into the
Court House. While this is large building,
there were thousand people, it is said, who
couldn't get in.
The audience applauded heartily, ashasbeen
the case at all the Watson meetings. When
the speaker advised that the people vote for
Joseph NJ. Brown, there were few Kisses in
the gallery. To these, the speaker paid very
little attention, and went on with his address,
There was no disturbance whatever, and the
address suffered no further interruption.
One of the papers, the Athens Banner,
seems to be utter y lost to honor.
It is untrue that Mr. Watson held any con-
ference with the friends of S. j. Tribble, at
the Georgian hotel in Athens.
No such conference has ever been held, any
where.
On the night referred to, Mr.. Watson went
Immediately to his room, supperless, and re-
tired. He was tired out, and needed rest.
It is not true that he answered a telephone
call of the Atlanta Constitutions representa-
tive If any one called for him, or upon him,
he was not informed of the fact. He did not
answer any call with "a short and tart reply"
He was not at the phone at all that day or
night.

A most significant feature of the case is
that nearly 1000 registered white voters re-
fused to support the nominee.

AN ELECTIVE JUDICIARY.

In the series Of addresses he intends
to deliver over the state during the
early autumn. Gov Noel will earnest
ly urge the adoption of the constitu-
tional amendments providing for an
elective judiciary system.
These announcements were framed
at the recent legislative session, and
passed both houses with only a few
dissenting votes. They provide only
for the election of circuit judges and
chancellors by the people, the supreme
court iulgship amendment having fail
ed of passage on third reading in the
lower house
Gov. Noel now believes that the peo-
Pile of Mississippi want to change from
the appointivc to the elective system
and, from an experience of nearly
three years in dealing with this form
of judicial patronage. he believes that
the responsibility of selecting judlcl-
arv officials should be taken out of the
hands of the governor.
For more than ten years Gov. Noel
has been an ardent advocate of the
elective judiciary system, and his de
termination to discuss the subject on
the stump means that the amendment
will attract more interest than would
otherwise be the case. He framed the
amendments adopted at the polls mum
Der of years ago, and afterwards de-
clared unconstitutional by the supreme
court Since that decision was render
ed he has never lost hope in their unit
mate adoption, and in his campaign for
governor three years ago an elective
judiciary was one of the important
planks in his platform. 1t was chiefly
due to his Influence that the concur
rent resolutions submitting theamend
ments were passed through the legis
lature at the recent session.

When our government was first for

the facts in the case now. All kinds
of changes have been made since then

office, and greed of the almighty dol
lar This party has been in power 50
long that they think the government
has fallen heir to them and that they
can do the American people any way
they choose
But we can show them better.
As true Democrats of one of the
pr5udest nations of the universe we
should all come together for the sake
of harmony and peace, unite our forces
and win another great battle for Dem

party in power.
AS long as there is an uprising in
the Republican ranks, and while they
are trying to do away with the "big

the Democratic party to win great

its extreme Importance to the steam
boat interests in the Mississippi Val
ley, says the New Orleans Picayunc.
1t is the second clause of section 3
of the law. and is rs follows:
"Whenever a carrier by railroad
shall in competition with a water route
or routes reduce the rates on the car
riage of any species of freight to or
from competitive points it shall not
be permitted to increase such rates IN
less after hearing by the Interstate
commerce commission, it shall be found
that such proposed increase rests upon
ate figures, and the shippers are com
PEELED to submit.
1t has been the rule heretofore for
the railroads operating along the river
in competition with steamboats, to put
down freight rates so low that the
boats are unable to compete, and rs
the trade always goes to the lowest
competitor, the boats are driven from
the river. fut as soon as the boats
have been vanquishcd and have aban-
loned the trade, the railroads put up
the rates, even it may be to extOrtion-
figures, and the shippers are compelled
to submit,
Under this new law the railroads can
no Ior@sr play such tricks, for when
they once put down freight rates in
order to drive out competing
steamboats, they are not allowed to go
back to the old schedule or t. make
changes upward except with the con
sent of the Inter state Commerce com
mission. after the matter shall have
been duly examined.
This is a protection which the boats
have never previously had, and it
should exert n large influence in re
storing the river trade and bring back
the boat to the great free waterways Of
the west.
The railroads have paralleled with
their lines both banks # the Missis-
sjppi ami Ohio rivers, and to a large
extent rhcy have done this for the
Missouri an other western waterways.
so that by cutting rates at competi-
tive points the roads have been able
to beat the boats and drive them from
the trade.
There is business for both rail and
river but the railroads being able to
play a dog in-the- mangor game have
done so with no good reason. but sim
ply to show their power to break down
the river trade.
When the protection now given 10
the steamboats, by the new law shall
become known, it should have immedl-
ate effect to start up a revival of the
steamboat trade on the western rivers.

Spain Frames Bill to Discontinue
Old Practice Vatican
Is Unheeded

MADRID, July 2.-The government
has submitted a bill to parliament, sub
stituting a simple promise for the GUS
tomary oath taken over the scriptures
in connection with all civil acts. The
bill. which is supported by the king,
applies to the installation of cabinet
ministers as well as to all court pro-
ceedings.
The reactionary and clerical interests
are opposing the measure on the
ground that 1t Is designed as a provo
cation to the Vatican. The liberal
press declares that it is of vital i'm
portance to the secularization of the
state and the modernization of Spain.
The government has forwarded to the
Vatican its reply to the note of June a.,
which insisted on the withdrawal of the
decree of June II, granting privileges
to non-Catholic religious societies. The
reply is, a courteous but firm refusal
to withdraw the decree whose objects
are again explained. Canalejas said:

vince the Vatican. If we fail we will

agreement must be upheld.

Judge Orders Medical Examina-

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2.-Abraham
Ruef, former political boss, under SEN
tence of fourteen years imprisonment
for bribery and at liberty on 100000
bail, appeared before Superior Judge
Lawlor today in response to an order
to show cause why he should not be re-
manded to the custody of the sheriff.
Ruef had been admitted to bail by
Judge Cabaniss on the showing that
mis- health was impaired, that several
members of his family were i'll and that
time and opportunity were needed in
which to prepare his appeal from the
Judgment against him. His appeal has
been filed with the appellate court and
he has not recently been confined to his
home by sickness
Ruef, through his attorney, declared
to Judge Lawlor today that he was
still very i'll, and that confinement in
the county jail probably would result in
his death. After hearing this state
ment the judge ordered that a medical
examination of his physical condition
be made, and continued the hearing
until next Wednesday.
