The people will get tired of hearing
about Watson, after while. They

They will want to know the facts
about his corrupt connection with

Pussy-foOt Bill has been doing bust
ness with all these years, when he
has been wearing the mask of virtue
and preaching the gospel of patriot
ism throughout his district. The
people will want to know why Carter
Tate, a Democrat, without learning
or ability, can hold down the District
Attorneyship of Atlanta, year in and
year out, when the Republicans of
this State are simply mountaineering
for it. The people will want to know
whether it is true that Bill has sat
by in disgraceful acquiescence all
these years, while his father-in-law
has been under bond to a negro, the
personal employee of a negro, taking
his orders from negro. The people
will want to know why white
men who applied for the negro's job,
and who tried to tempt Bill with the

The people will want to know
why, when Carter Tate, being I'M

of his office in Atlanta, picked up the
negro, Bishop Gaines, and rushed off
to Washington to save his job, Bill
Howard also rushed to the rescue and
held up Carter, on one side, while
the negro bishop supported him on
the other.
Yes, indeed, the people will want
to know; they will imperatively de-
mand to know, and they will find
out; they are going to give Pussy

can go to his Republican bosses and
claim that which was probably prom

utes before the House, by decided
majority, had refused to re-establish
the despOtism of Speaker Cannon.
Consequently Champ Clark's PROPOSE
ton would have unfettered the
House, would have made it a self
governing body, and would have
made it impossible for Cannon to
have damned through such a meas
ure as the Payne tariff bill
"Why Did Howard Lie?''
Why did Bill Howard lie about the
Champ Clark proposition to escape
the inevitable condemnation that
should come to him, because of the
fact that he, along with Lon Living
ston and w. G. Brantley, took his
place among the Republicans, and
voted against the proposition to give
the House lf-government? At that
time Edwards and Gordon Lee had
not been seduced. They voted for
the Clark proposition. Bill Howard,
Lon Livingston, Jim Griggs and w.
G. Brantley, with their eyes open and
conscious of what they were doing
for they were old hands in politics.
deserted the Democrats, went over to
the Republicans and saved the day
for Speaker Cannon.
During the interval between that
vote and the one on the Fitzgerald
amendments, Gordon Lee and
Charles Edwards were corrupted. In
what way, we can imagine, by look
ing at the committee appointments
that Cannon gave them, and the pa
f1snn ioh u
upon them. 1t was in reference to
Lee, or Edwards, that Livingston
was overheard to remark in front of
the Speakers desk, "Joe, I have got
you another Georgia vote for the
next ballot" To which consoling re-
mark, Joe was heard to reply,
That's good, Lon"
The next vote came on page 10, of
the Record for the same day. 1t was
on the Fitzgerald amendment. These
amendments did not take away from
Cannon the packing of the commit
tees, did not deprive him of the
Craftsmanship of the committee on
rules, did not deprive him of the
power to choose the other two men
who should serve under him on
that committee. Consequently, the
Fitzgerald amendments did not, in
any degree, rob Cannon of his des-
potic power to control the House.
But, inasmuch as the Fitzgerald
resolution did establish calendar
Wednesday," giving authority to re-
commit bill, etc., thus making triv-
ial changes which served no other
purpose than to "save the face" of
the twenty-three Democratic desert
ers who had been bought, it was
voted for by those traitors, as we'll
as by the Republicans. 1t passed by
211 "yeas" to 172 mays"
What is the highest and best proof
that Bill Howard did not want the
tyranny of Speaker Cannon over
thrown? 1t is the fact that he went
on record against the Champ Clark
resolutions, and then lied about it.,
most shamefully. The facts are, that
Cannon did pack the committees, did
railroad the Payne bill through, did
pack the conference committee and
did jam the Aldrich bill through
also, and thus put upon us new
tariff law which has given the Steel
Trust and all the beneficiaries of this
robber system enormously larger
profits, and which has lessened the
contents of every cupboard, every
larder, every wardrobe, every poor
mans purse, from Maine to Califor-
MIA, and from Lake Superior to the

stroy the notes, which he said he
could not lay his hands on at the
time. But having so much evidence
that the notes had been paid, | let
the matter pass out of my mind and
the years passed. Not word did l
hear from the administrator or the
heirs for several years.
Without fatiguing your readers by
long story, will say that l was sued
on one of these little notes eighteen
years after it had been given, and
about a dozen years after it had been
paid. l pleaded full payment and
also the statute of limitations. When
people are sued on claim that is
not just, they're silly if they don't
light the case with every weapon the
law furnishes for that very purpose
Let me say, however, that if the
administrator remains unconvinced,
after examining certain records to
which l called his attention yester-
day and which he had forgotten, l
will have a friendly arbitration of
the matter with him, taking no ad-
vantage of the lapse of time. With
out lawyers, pleadings, or speeches,
we will simply submit the facts to
three men, chosen in the usual way,
and let them decide it. I think that
it was lapse of memory on his part
and that he was honest in thinking
the debt unpaid.
This fresh accusation, which some
local enemy furnished Bill Howard,
falls as fiat as all the others. In no
wise does it serve to cause people to
forget the outrage which he perpe-
trated on Mr.. Kennebrew, who was
subjected to humiliation in the in
terest of Jim Smiths peonage colony.
The only offense of that gallant ex-
Confederate was that he had issued
some warrants against Convict
King" Smith.
Deliberately Falsified.
Bill has deliberately falsified in
reference to his going over to the
Republicans ON March Is, 1909.
This being matter of the gravest
public Importance, allow me, in de-
tail, to state to your readers just
what did take place on Monday,
March Is, 1909, in the lower hall of
Congress.
First came the election of Speaker
Cannon, of Illinois, being the Repub-
lican candidate, and Clark, of Mis-
souri,, his opponent. The vote stood
204 for Cannon to 1876 for Clark
Then came the fight over the rules.
On page 5 of the Congressional Rec
ord, we find John Dalzell, one of the
Speakers right-hand men, Offering a
brief resolution for tho adOntiOn Of
those old rules which had destroyed
the freedom of the House as a de-
Lucrative body, and had made the
Speaker and his committee on rules
the tyrants who controlled every
thing. On this vote, the Republican
insurgents, to the number of some
3O-odd, revolted from Cannon and
voted with the Democrats, the vote
standing 189 for the old rules and
1913 against them. So, Cannonism
was at it's last gasp.
Then came the resolutions offered
by Hon. ChamD Clark These are the

insurgents, to the number of some
30-odd, revolted from Cannon and
voted with the Democrats. the vote
standing 189 for the old rules and
1913 against them So, Cannonism
was at it's last gasp.
Then came the resolutions offered
by Hon. Champ Clark. These are the
resolutions which Bill Howard de-
liberately misrepresented. If you
will examine the resolutions for
yourself (they appear on page of
the Congressional Record for that
day.. you will see that Mr. Clark
proposed to amend the rules by hav-
ing the House elect for itself a COM
mittee on rules, which should con-
sist of fifteen members, and which
should elect it's own chairman. In
other words, Mr.. Clark's resolutions
proposed an absolute overthrow of
Speaker Cannon. The committee on
rules has heretofore consisted of
three, of which the Speaker is ex-
officio member. Inasmuch as he has
the selection of the other two, the
committee on rules might just as we'll
consist of the Speaker, solely. Mr..
Clark's re u t IONS, therefore,
amounted to overthrowing Speaker
Cannon entirely and the restoring to
the House the selection of it's steer
ing apparatus, thus resuming the
control over it's business which it
once had. The committee of Is would
never have elected the Speaker as
it's chairman, had the House had the
election of that committee. This is
a conclusion which is inevitable in

DEATHROLL IS
GROWING DAILY

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, May 9.-The
final toll of death as a result of the
earthquake that partially destroyed the
city of Carriage and brought desOlation
to neighboring towns and villages has
not yet been reached. AS the days
pass and the work of recovering the
bodies of the dead from the ruins
progresses, the estimate of the total
number of dead has to be increased.
The first figure placed the number OF
those who lost their lives in the de-
struction on the night of Thursday last
at five hundred. Later the number was
announced at one thousand and now it
is feared the total death roll will in
clude at least fifteen hundred names.
Already the bodies of eight hundred
victims of the earthquake have been
recovered and given hasty burial, while
the half of the ruined districts has not.
