What else can it mean? The words are
not capable OF any other construction.
They demand a direct cote of the people and
they condemn the COnvention nominations.
What sort of convention is meant if not the
convention held under the county unit plan
of choosing delegates, through a0hom the peo-
pie indirectly cote for the nominee?
The words "direct VOTE" used in that con-
nection; and the condemnation of convention
nominations can not possibly mean anything
else than antagonist to the county unit plan,
under which the small counties can protect
themselves from the numerical preponderance
of the big cities
What sort of convention nomination is aim
ed at, if not that made by delegates, who cast
the votes of the county units?
The Journal and the Herald see what a
fatal blunder Smith has made IN breaking his
plighted word so soon after it was given and
trusted by j. j. Brown and others. Those
two papers are doing their best to pull Smith
out of the pit which he digged for his own
feet. They will not succeed. The case is too
plain. The facts are too recent and indis-
putable.
Smiths conduct during the campaign, and
since, is gradually becoming known to the
public, and he is losing ground rapidly. He
has given himself mortal wounds politically;
and will soon be as unpopular as he deserves
to be.

that the Inner Ring shackled. Through their
representatives, the $4,000 and $4,000 had met
in sovereign convention. They had come to-
gether to nominate certain men for office;
and to deliberate upon matters of the greatest
public Importance
The Rule or Ruin bosses decided, IN secret
conference, to first deprive the $4,000 white
Democrats of representation on committees.
They were not allowed to nominate their man
for Governor. They were denied freedom of
speech. Members of delberative body,
they were refused hearing Their right to
address the Convention was brutally taken
away from them. When Senator Griffith en-
deavored to speak, he was yelled down.
When Joe Hill Hall tried it, he, too, was
howled down.
Bad as that was, it was nothing in com
parison with the cool insole,ice revealed by

kNL2SL1 1nCO Cn0 ears OF Drown was poured,
Se8&Sa by Smith, a most re-assuring state
EzGGN5 ment. 1t was tacitly understood, all
around, that the reassuring statement was
afterwards to be poured by Brown into the
ears of Yours Truly.
The sum and substance of this most reas-
surfing of statements was like what follows:
II have nothing against Mr.. Watson. He
worked SO hard for me in 1906 that it would
be an act of base ingratitude on my part to
assail him. He did what he thought was right
when he opposed me in 1908.
1'He supported me once; he antagonized me
once we are now even. / bear him no i'll will
'sThe late primary and the County unit
were decided against me in 1908; and I bow
to the will of the people. Those issues are set
tied"
When j. j. Brown poured that quasi mes
sage into my ears | was not lncredulous,
for I thought even so faulty strateglst as
Hoke Smith realized the folly of renewing
the war on the small counties
The part of the message which assured me
that Smith bore me no i'll will, was a mani
fest attempt at deceiving my friends; but
MANY of them were 'stuck' on Smith, and
it wasn't worth while to try to open their
eyes at that time
Time, and Smiths own conduct, could be
depended on to do the work
Promptly after the election, Smith began
to be Smith. The Smith whose belly never
aches for the people until there's something
in sight for Smith. The Smith who virtually
declared that he operated the Piedmont bar
room in the interest of the deserving poor
and of Dr. Broughton's religious and educa-
tional enterprises. The Smith who declared
it to be the "Happiest Day of His Life"
when he put to the Prohibition bill the match
to the signature that appears, with the most
peculiar SIS and the most peculiar h. at the
end of the repudiated letter to James j.
Green, of Athens, Ga.
"Happiest Day of my Life" said Smith
and he inwardly groaned, out of pity for the
Poor who would never again revel In the
revenues of the Piedmont barroom.
Well, coming back to the subject:
The moment the real, genuine, Simon
pure, unalloyed Smith felt free to act Smith
ily again, he promptly did it.
In the brand-new Atlanta platform, he
reneaced the attack an the small counties.
Worded differently though it is, the meaning
is the same as the clause in the Macon plat
form.
The Atlanta Journal and the Augusta
Herald are trying to make the people believe
that the language of that particular plank
does not mean an attack on the county unit
plan.
