The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1911-08-10
The Manliness of Senator Percy. of
Mississippi

AS matter of duty to the public The JEFF
ferson50n had to criticise the manner in which
the election of Leroy Percy was brought
about, in the Legislature of Mississippi
There was sufficient evidence to convince any
impartial observer that money was used i'm
properly. Then again, Senator Percy's votes
IN Congress were too much like those of
Bailey, Simmons, Talaiferro and Clarke
Democrats who are not Democratic in prin-
ciple But we believe in being fair to all
men; and we must say that Mr.. Percy has
shown q m1on1iness that we admire.
He offered to have his election by the leg
isature referred TO the people for ratification.
That showed courage. More than that, it
showed pride Of the right kind Virtually,
Percy said, "If the people Of mississippi do
not ecisA me to represent them, AM TOO
PROUD TO FOIST MYSELF UPON
THEN AS THEIR REPRESENTATIV
But, most unfortunately for Percy, the state
Executive Committee arrogated to itself the
authority to refuse the people chance to
express themselves in primary.
Readers of this paper will remember that I
predicted that the action of the Committee
would prove injurious to Percy. 1t so hap
pened
Percy had to face the people some months
later, anyhow, and the Committee might have
foreseen that it's conduct would be reSentfullv
remembered.
The regular primary came off last week.
Percy left his seat In Congress to canvass the

took no action in January, 1909, none in Feb
ruary, none in March, none In April, none in
May, none in June? A 1.-THE of the ferocious
energy shown in lynching McLendon-a
white-haired cripple, confined to roller
chalr-would have resulted in the enforce
ment Of these circulars. The saving to our
people would, by this time, have aggregated
something like $6,00O,0 900!
In his Macon platform, Smith pledged him
self to strengthen the Railroad Commission as
to its power to enforce it's orders, &c.
In the law which he caused to be passed. he
made the Commission far weaker than it had
ever had been, By depriving 1t of the poecer to
haze its orders enforced. He took this from
the Commission, and gave it to the Governor,
leaving the Commission dependent; whereas,
it had been INDEPENDENT.
There is one freight-rate reduction, OBJ
tanned by Governor Smith, which Judge
Hines-out of modesty, | suppose failed to
mention. 1t was the special rate granted by
the A., B. & A. Railroad to the way-station,
Manchester. This was speculative boom
town, started by Fuller Galloway and Cover
nor Smith, on 1900 acres of land they bought
in Meriwether county. By obtaining for this
way station the same through rates enjoyed
by Atlanta, Columbus and other terminal
cities, Gov Smith and r. r. Commissioner
Galloway greatly furthered their speculation.
[ would like to hear from Hines on this.
Was there any little deal made, Judge? A
Governor pledged to wage war for lower
rates, and Railroad Commissioner appointed
by this Governor, to work out the pledge,
qcere teoo officials to achom the railroads
might 0dvontage0usly concede much.
Judge, can you tell us what it was the cor
poratlons got in return for the unprecedented
special favor granted TO the Smith, Galloway
6oono-toa0m? You seem to know so very much
that perhaps you know how the "reform'
Governor and his own special pet of Com
missioner persuaded the railroads to come
across, and do for the Smith, Galloway toeom
a0hot IS not done for ony other a0ay-statioe
whatsoever?
Hurry up, Judge, you and Fielder, and en-
force those Joe Brown orders We need

state. That was mistake. Senator John
Sharp Williams left his seat in Congress to
take part in the Mississippi fight. That was
another mistake.
1T a most critical time IN national zeg;sza-
tion, THE STATE or MISSISSIPPI
WAS LEFT WITHOUT REPRESENTA-
TION IN THE SENATE.
The people have been educated up to
point where they condemn that kind Of thing.
Both these Senators were being paid TO serve
their state in the highest law making body
the world ever knew. Both of them deserted
their posts of duty, subordinating to their
personal interests the welfare Of the country.
The vote of their state in the Senatorial
primary was crushing rebuke. Ex-Gover-
nor James X. Vardaman polled majority
over both his opponents, Percy and Alexan-
der-thus demonstrating Enthusiastically that
his state wants him for her Senator.
That being so, Mr. Perry announces his In
tention of resigning, when the legislature next
meets, SO that Senator who is preferred by
a majority of the people may be chosen in
his place.
That IS enoctzy right. The manly pride
shown by Mr.. Percy in this matter will COM
mend him to people who do not agree with his
political principles, and who feel compelled
to condemn some of his senatorial votes.
Another fact proved that Mr.. Percy is
honest and courageous: He challenged Var
donaam to meet him IN q series Of joint de-
bates.
No man does that unless he feels that his
cause is righteous. Vardaman has reputa-
ton of being fine orator; Percy has not but
Vardaman declined Percy's challenge.
Therefore, after the smoke of battle has
cleared away, it is seen that Percy wanted to
meet his opponent, face to face, before the
people; and that he is possessed of too much
manly honor and pride to represent a State
whose people prefer some one else
[ lift my hat to you, Senator Percy We
do not harmonic in political principles, but
we do, AS TO WHAT CONSTITUTES A
GENTLEMAN.
Evidently, there runs in your veins the red,
game-cocz blood Of the Old South-the
same that made Harry Hotspur the pride of
the chivalry of Old England.
In Georgia, We have-but that's another
story.
