neither do we care to make any state
ment relative to the speakers at our

dav night" said President DIN Stamps,
of the Fulton County Brown club Thurs

And / will add. said Mr.. tSamps,
at all regarding a torch light process

w. e. Carnes. chairman of the Third

nights ward rally, and that he himself
would preside over the meeting at the
Grand opera house, as president Of the
Fulton County Brown club.
sAFFoLD AND TwIGGs
From another source It was learned
that Frank safrold. of Emanuel county,
and II. d. d. Twiggs, Of Savannah,
probably would be among the Saturday
night speakers at the Grand opera house
rally.
J p Smith stated thai ne diS not
know definitely about e torch parade
on Monday night. but that he had heard
suggestions OF such a demonstration.
Il can only say that thi gs are look
ing 'Browuer' all the time" said Mr.
Smith concerning the situation through
out the state. He then added that
formal statement would be given to the
press later IN the day.
Governor Brown visited the headquar-
tiers again Thursday morning. and. as
on Wednesday, was cordially received by
his friends. of whom there we're many.
He remained in the headquarters for
quite awhile, and during most of the time
was surrounded by an eager and inter-
ested bunch OF admirers, as he shook
hands and acknowledged introductions.
ANOTHER CARD COMING.
While no formal statement was given
out at headquarters concerning the mat
ter, il is understood that Governor Brown
contemplates the issuance of still an
other card to the people OF Georgia. In
this card. II is reported, he will explain
and elaborate those features OF his last
card which do not entirely conform with
his oficial record, as shown by the files
at the capitol.
The governor will. II Is rumored, show
how, where and when he voted for the
: 1-2-cent passenger rates on the sys-
TENS Of the Southern and Central rail-
roads. The minutes of the railroad COM
mission fail to confirm the governors
claim to this effect, and show, In fact,
that he voted an emphatic no" when
the order was adopted reducing the
rates.
The governors first card, It is recalled.
stated that he had never, directly or
indirectly, suggested taking from the rail-
road commission the right to supervise
the issuance OF stocks and bonds by COM
mon carriers. This statement Of the gov
ernor, IL has been pointed out, does not
conform entirely with his message to the
legislature OF July /, 1909.
II is also reported that the governors
next card to the people will deal with
the 15-cent cotton claims. which his cam
paign managers have spread broadcast
over the state. and which have challenged
the condemnation OF the Farmers union.
Whether the governor. in his next card to
the people, Will go into details about the
Charges of negligence in the executive Of
ffces remains to be seen. nor can II be
said whether he will defend his failure
to recommend the repeal OF the dog tax,
which became law only through his
approval.
