AN APPRECIATED TESTIMONIAL.

Dear Sir:-Under the instructions
of our political leaders, we, the un-
dersigned, for many years believed
we were living under a democratic
government, where the Constitution
guaranteed to every citizen all the
rights of freemen, pledged to pro-
tect him in the full enjoyment of
all his rights. We were taught to
believe that the rights of the poorest
and most ignorant were as sacred
and inviolable as those of the wealthy
and the learned.
But we have learned this is a sad
mistake. Our leaders and newspa-
pers have concealed the truth from
the people and by this means have
delivered them in bondage to their
enemies, the peoples rights have
been disregarded, and civil liberty
well nigh overthrown.
knowing that conditions were all
the time growing worse, we looked
in vain to find the cause until God
in His goodness raised up the Hon.
Thos. E. Watson and endowed him
with the spirit of right, wisdom and
courage, filling his soul with ''the
milk of human kindness" and gave
him the soul of a patriot to fight the
peoples battles and stand against
wrong in high places and low. God
be praised for such a man. And then

to think, when prompted by love for
the people of his state and desiring
such legislation as would promote
righteousness in government and Sc
cure the people in their rights, that
he should be howled down in the
capital city of the state while trying
to make. a speech in public hall;
and that there were none in that
great throng to still such riotous con-
duct, is a shame and blot on the
city of Atlanta.
We, the undersigned, are plain
men, making an honest living, and
we love right, truth, virtue, honor,
and desire hereby to assure you that
we appreciate the stand you have
taken and the fight you are making
against wrong and injustice, that we
have the utmost confidence in you as
man and a patriot of the highest
order, and will stand by you and aid

PRINT JOSEPH M. BROWN TICK
ETS AND VOTE EN-. THAT'S
ALL, AND IT'S EASY.

My Dear Sir:-I notice you advo-
cate the reelection of our present
governor, Hon Joseph M. Brown. I
plead in favor of his reelection, and
l have talked to quite a number of
voters and they are in sympathy with
you and express themselves in favor
of your views and they asked me to
appeal to you to come down to Cuth-
bert, Ga, and give the entire COM
munity and surrounding country a
talk on that particular subject and
other topics. You have the SYM
pathy of a great majority through
this section. We would be glad you
see fit to favor us with an address.
Please let me hear from you by re-
turn mail. With my best wishes and
regards, remain, Yours very truly,

GOOD WISHES FROM PENN
SYLVANIA.

Dear Sir;-I see the fur's a-fying'
down in your woods. Let 'em have
it, I believe you are equal to the
occasion. I'm certain the good peo-
pie of your state won't stand for
such treatment as was accorded you
Pennsylvanians thought we held the
banner for corruption in politics, but
statistics show every nook and cor
ner is polluted. If not in one party
it is in the other. Truth and right
will win eventually. 1t must win.
The victory will be the greater when
it comes. Yours,

My Dear Mr.. Watson Have been
busy today getting an expression from
the people who heard you at Canon
yesterday. Let the governors race
90 as it may. In all Of your long
public career you have never made
such hit as at Canon on yesterday.
You have won men who have never
been your friends before. You have
filled everything with new life. Some
of the preachers who heard you say
that you should lay aside everything

A FRIENDLY LETTER FROM MIS-
SISSIPPI.

Dear Sir:-I have read The JEFF
fersonian (Sept 9Th issue) and
could not help shedding tears be-
cause of the way in which you were
Inundated and imposed upon by
crowd of nefarious rioters who had
not right whatever to interfere with
a man who was voicing the senti-
ments of the people, his friends, and
helping to bring back the good old
popular government formed and
framed by our forefathers.
I send my voice from the Mag
nolia" state of the union, and may
your next event and issue in At
lanta, that admirable city, be crown
ed with victory. Your friend,
JOS. H. HIGINGTON.

YES: HOKE SMITH BOUGHT 1T.
THERE WILL BE BROWN
TICKETS.

Dear Sir:-I heard your speech at
this place on the 23rd instant, and
was glad to hear you expose the
"Rube Arnold Rules" I enjoyed it
fine. I believe that it was a vote
getter for Little Joe." 1t was my
intention to have made an effort to
talk with you personally, but soon
learned that there was number of
others that were seeking to chat with
you and I concluded to defer my talk
until some future time.
I believe that if you will inform
the voters through your papers and
in your speeches to erase the name Of
Hoke Smith from the ticket on the
9Th day of October and insert there
on the name Of Joseph M. Brown,
that you will come very near re-elect-
ing Mr.. Brown. I make mention of
this from the fact that as I under
stand there will be no Brown tickets
and there are a lot of people that
would not think that they could mark
out the name Of Hoke Smith and put
on the name of Mr.. Brown.
[ believe that if you could send
card to practically every voter in the
state prior to the election, informing
him of the fraudulent means that
was used by Hoke Smith in securing
the nomination and that this invali-
dates the election, and that they
should not consider that they are
bound by any such an election-I be-
lieve that you will be successful in
your effort to re-elect Joseph M
Brown. [ make mention of this from
the fact that there are numbers of
people who are not aware of the fact
that the fight is on to re-elect Brown,
and to send a card to practically all
the voters you would thereby let the
people know that the fight was on for
the reelection of Mr. Brown.
Yours respectfully,
INDIGNANT VOTER.
P. SIN the next issue of your
papers you may ask Hoke Smith this
question: Did you, or some one con-
nected with your campaign headuuar-
ters, send a telegram to a man in
Toccoa to come to Atlanta and get
$25O.0O, with which to put Stephens
county in the Smith column? You see
that in 1908 Stephens county gave
Brown majority Of about 80 votes,
and it would seem that the idea was
to send enough money there to turn
some 20 or 25 votes and thereby put
the county in the Smith column,
which they were successful in doing.
/ am reliably informed that the man
above referred to makes no denial of
receiving such a telegram as above
referred to- ".
