HOKE SMITH ACCEPTS I'M STIRRING SPEECH

A progressive Democracy, while it pro-
tects every legitimate property right.
SHOULD STRIVE ALWAYS FOR THE
RETIREMENT OF THE HUMAN
RACE. 1T SHOULD CHECK ILLEGAL
COMBINATIONS AND MONOPOLIES
THAT DESTROY THE OPPORTUNITY
FOR INDIVIDUAL EFFORT. 1T
SHOULD ENCOURAGE THE BETTER
PREPARATION OF THE INDIVIDUAL
CITIZEN FOR THE STRUGGLE OF
LIFE.
We have the largest state east of the
Mississippi. We have white population
capable of the highest degree of attain
ment. Our state would be an empire in
itself, If we were only prepared to handle
its resources. We lack men trained to
the service more than we lack money.
We wish to see Georgia grow rich, and
wish the wealth distributed among her
people.
A broad policy of conservation of re-
sources should be the object of Georgia
We have water power in Georgia suf-
ficient, when developed to operate limit
less factories. We have lumber and lint
cotton and iron at hand to be manufac-
tured. South of the Appalachian noun
tains and with ample coast facilities, VIC
have location of exceptional advantage
for commerce. We must prepare our
own children and even those now grown
to handle these resources. We must
arouse the mental and physical power of
the individual man and boy in Georgia.
AGRICULTURE OUR GREATEST RE-
SOURCE.
Our greatest material resource is agri-
culture. Our people must be enlisted to
study better modes of production and
better plans of marketing crops. The
isolation of rural life must be removed
by good roads. Expert road-builders
should aid the work. Good rural schools
must be built and teachers promptly paid
enough to make them stay with the
work and improve the schools.
LET US ENLIST THE HEARTS OF
THE WHOLE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA
FOR THE MENTAL, MORAL AND
SPIRITUAL PROGRESS OF THE
CHILDREN OF GEORGIA. THE BOYS
AND GIRLS OF GEORGIA ARE OUR
STATES RICHEST TREASURES.
Let our aim be a progressive govern
ment by men for the benefit of mankind,
not a government of money for gain.
The progressive Democrats of Georgia
realize that their policies will promote
the best interests of all Georgians who
are not seeking special privileges or some
selfish advantages over their fellow
Georgians.
We would build a Georgia great and
powerful, but great and powerful in the
number of its independent prosperous
citizens.
1 accept the nomination, pledging my
best efforts to serve all the people of our
state.

rights of the public can oe protected and
at the same time the companies subject
to supervision prosper. EVERY PRO
GRESSIVE DEMOCRAT SHOULD DE
SIRE SUCCESS FOR EVERY LEGIT-
MATE CORPORATE INVESTMENT.
WE WILL SEE TO 1T. HOWEVER,
THAT A SQUARE DEAL IS GIVEN
TO THE PUBLIC. The railroad com
missioners must stand impartially be-
tween the people and the corporations
under their supervision. Influenced mel
Their by clamor or by power they must
see that justice is done to both.
BUT THE GREAT CORPORATIONS
IN GEORGIA MUST KEEP OUT OF
POLITICS.. THEY MUST NOT BE AL
LOWED BY HIRED POLITICAL.
AGENTS TO DOMINATE OR CONTROL
LEGISLATION OR ADMINISTRA-
TON.
We must pass the anti-lobbying bill
and make it impossible for any special
interest to hire men from over the
state to visit Atlanta and hang around
hotels, boarding houses. and legislative
halls, to influence legislation not upon
merit but by unfair means.
10 The charge that any progressive Dem
ccrat opposes the investment of foreign
capital. in Georgia is absurd. Foreign
capital has always been welcomed to
Georgia and it has always received full
protection in Georgia. WE SHOULD
ENCOURAGE EVERY LEGITIMATE
ENTERPRISE AND WORK FOR ITS
SUCCESS.
The duties deyolving upon the office
of governor during the two years Of my
past service were in many respects diff
ferent from those which will come dur
ing the next administration. Then the
measures embodied in the Macon plat
form, so important to the welfare OF
the state, caused bitter contests and
made ugly wounds.
Now the value of this legislation is
gradually being realized even by its
former opponents. 70 amend and per-
feet 1t will be no serious labor. It has
grown upon the people. 1t will continue
to grow through the next IL months. The
heat of political contest is over and 1
trust the prejudices which it produced
will soon cease.
This should be especially true, as 1
will be serving my second term, and I
shall under no circumstances be a can
didate for reelection.
LET US CEASE CRITICISMS.
Let us cease criticising each other. Let
even the best of men and causes them
to see and believe things which are not
true. LET US FORGIVE AND FOR
GET AND TURN OUR BEST EFFORTS
TOWARD THE DEVELOPMENT OF
THE STATE AND THE IMPROVE
MENT OF THE CONDITION OF THE
CITIZEN. There is much
that can be done by united effort.

UNION MINERS SUED
ON CONSPIRACY CHARGE

PITTSBURG, Sept. 1.-Attorneys for
the coal operators who have filed suit
against the union miners in the Irwin
westmoreland coal fields, charging con-
spiracy in preaching sedition against
laws of the state and nation, today de-
clare the suits to be the first Of their
kind to be filed in the United States.
The legal action is the outcome of the
strike being waged against the plaintiff
companies by several thousand miners
in the Irwin Westmoreland field.
The nearest approach to the proceed
ings taken by the Western Pennsylvania
operators. il is said, was the. recent ac-
ton of the New York hat manufacturers,
who sued the Hatters union for dam
ages when the union declared them to
be on the unfair" list. The manufacture
ers were awarded s25O,O0O damages

the large majority of those who voted
against us on the 23d of August. They
are our brethren, just as patriotic as we.
They simply did not understand what
had been done and what we were seek
ing to do. 1 urge NOW, after the ex-
element of the political contest is over,
affectionately to lay before those good
citizens who misunderstood us what has
been done for Georgia by progressive
Democracy and what we seek to do.
The large majority of our former op-
ponents should in future be our political
friends. If we treat them with proper
consideration If we avoid anything to
drive them away from us, their interests
are ours and they will help US in future
to sustain the principles for which we
are striving.
BENEFITS OF CLEAN BALLOT. -
The benefits to be obtained from, popu-
lar government depend upon a clean bal
lot. The Acknowledgement law, the reg
istration law and pure election law, the
new primary law, were all intended to
purify ballot box. A patriotic citizen will
not object to some Inconvenience to pro-
tect his right of suffrage. If thereby he
prevents. an illegal or purchased vote
from killing his own. These laws should
be perfected, not by weakening but by
strengthening them. LAYING ASIDE

THE TIME HAS COME"
i never shall willingly submit again
nor patiently endure TO see the Ieade-
OF great Democracy chosen for the
Democratic hosts by any free lances or
banditti.
R.en of Georgia. you who have been
always faithful, you who have been al
ways true. if we. must go every four
years to fight a desperate and losing
battle for Democracy and equality, If
we are to be forever the forlorn hope of
American liberty, in the. name of every
honorable tradition that Eliminates the
pages of our history, let's choose our
own leader. frame our own faiths, and
fight the battle for ourselves. .
Il have done penance long enough. So
have you, my countrymen. If we are
ever to resume our equal status in this
nation the time has come To your
tents, o Israel, and now let Tammany
Hall look to it's own house.
HoKE SMITH THE MAN.
And where shall the leader be found :?
Look abroad over the length and breadth
OF the Democratic hosts of America and
whom shall we select? Whose head
shall tower like Sauls above his fell
lows? All will agree that he is a citi-
zen of this state.
And rest assured, men of Georgia,
that ii is not an unwise policy to which
1 call you now. Success comes only to
those who strive for IL and the right
eousness of this demand will build up
friends for us. Whatever we have gath
cred from the wreckage Of the past has
come to US when we have stood for our
rights. I call YOU to no sectional
strife 1t is, indeed. an unwhoIesome
thing to seek a ruler for this nation
solely because he dwells in any given
section. but IL is most ignoble and de-
grading that any section shoJfld longer
give consent for it's own debasement
II We longer submit to such a policy we
are unworthy of the sons who have so
long Joyfully borne upon their should
ers the penance Of the past II we con-
sent longer to our own political ostra-
cism we cannot as a party hope to hold
the faith that has so long ennobled our
patient struggle II this nation is ever
TO be reunited in spirit and in fact, the
time has come.
Sons OF the ch DIGEST strain Of Ameri-
can blood, scions of Revolutionary stock,
citizens Of the cleanest and purest sec
ton OF this union, I move you here to-
day that We demand the right to
name the next candidate Of the Democra-
cy OF this country for it's president. And,
because IL is right that the state which
demands this thing Of the country
should show it's faith by fits works. as

NEGRO GIRL AT
 WHITE FOLKS DANCE
Her Escort! He Won't Be d Member of the White Race, She's Sure, and
 Why Should He! She Asks.

l East Orange, N. J., June 24.-The young men and women ill tie gradu- ating class at the East Orange High School had bad case of tWitters to- day over what has been termed an imminent race war. They want it understood that it is not race war. the negro girl who has had trouble getting a ticket to the class dance al so wants it understood that she is ge- ing. and what's more, yc., 3on't think shes going with an esca-t of their race, do you? Not muc,. Isabel is 17 years old.
 She has a sister, Irene, who is a bit older. Irene belonged to the class which graduated year ago. but she had to drop back into 1910 The stu dents. declare that Isabel has a right to a ticket, but that Irene has not Just why is matter of ancient laws and customs
 John Hermann is the chairman of the dance committee. He says that the whole decision insofar as the specific instance of Irene is concerned, lies with him, but that the abstract prin- ciple, etc, under which he acts is one of the antique consuetudines, etc., of the school.
 l This fuss is all tommyrot,' he said 'The only reason why Isabel did not get her ticket to the dance at the same
 time that the others did is because
 she did not show up at the class meet ing on Monday. If she d only been there she would not have had any
 trouble. On "Wednesday I went to
 her fathers place Of business and left
 the ticket for her there"
 I The same night Vandervall asked
 young Hermann why he had not given
 tickets to his two daughters. Woul1
 not the father please go to his office
 after it? As for Irene, she was an-
 other matter Vandervall went to
 his office for the ticket and got it.
 Then he went home and tried to ex-
 plain just why it was that Isabel got
 one and Irene did not It was a hard matter The daughters thought
 it was in contravention of the spirit
 Of the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
 ments and made remarks. John Her.
 mann says no. This is his explana- tion.
 Irene was member of the class
 which graduated a year ago. She got all the senior privileges then She had a ticket to the dance, to class day and to graduation. But she did not grad uate. She flunked back into our class
 John Hermann says it would be just the same way with a white person. There's no discrimination, s'by thun- der as anyone can see.'' The dance is to be given at the Wo- mans Club of Orange Next to the Essex County Country Club, it's about the top notch. socially, in all this re- gion Isabel Vanderyall said she ex- pected to go to the dance, "and why not?'' She thought a ticket would be got from somewhere for Irene. ! But as her escort, she had her mind quite made up. T won't go with anybody, of their race. not r. she said.
