in losing subscribers by publishing the article,
a copy of which had sent him.
He published it all with this Introductory:
Thomson, Ca, June 1.-(Special. Hon.
Thomas b. Watson has sent to The Atlanta Jour
nal the following communication in reply to The
Journals statement concerning Watson's partici-
patton in the famous gubernatorial campaign of
1905. In it's editorial of Friday The Journal
declared that Watson had climbed aboard the
band wagon that year, trailing instead of leading
the procession that supported Smith for governor.
The statement has riled Mr.. Watson more than
anything that has been said against him by The
Journal, and he replies with full statement of
why and how he supported Smith in 19O6 declar-
Bing that he only did so upon Smiths agreement
to renounce his attitude against Acknowledgement
and to put himself on Watsons Acknowledgement
platform-which, it will be recalled, Clarke
Howell had refused to do when John Sbley an
intimate political friend of Mr.. Watson who had
been visiting Watson in Virginia, returned to
Georgia with the proposition to Mr.. Howell that
If he would favor the proposed Hardwick disfran-
chisement legislation he could get Watson's sup
port Mr.. Howell refused to do so, taking the
position, Mr. Smith had before done, that the
negro better disfranchised by the white pri-
mary than he would be by the proposed legsla-
ton.

Had Mr.. Taft been a true Unitarian, he
would never have sent Major Butt to the Vati-

Had Mr. Taft been true to his oath, AS

Major Butt would not have become food for

See what lies he is having put into the
papers!
Now that Archie Butt is dead, and his
craven master feels the whip-cords of Ameri-
can loathing and scorn, ne are told that Major
Butt trent abroad for his health.
Strange that he went straight to Rome for
it, and came straight back
And some of us remember that he went

that Taft will shed in Augusta, on the 2nd Of

Is the United States Government having
tremendous pressure" of the sort that
elevated Roman Catholic over the heads of
his seniors in Office and his superiors in intel
lect and ability, to the Supreme court bench,
brought again to bear upon it?
Every Mason, every Socialist, every Pro
testant of whatever denomination should fear
lessly come to the support of Thos. e. Watson
in this "test case" OLA free press versus
the Roman Catholic Hierarchy, and no time
should be lost In taking a decided stand with
the man who has been brave, honest, fearless
and absolutely sincere in his effort to arouse
the people of these United States to the dan
ger which threatens them.
Mr.. Watson, when informed by telephone,
from the u. S. Marshal's office in Macon that
a deputy would be at his home on Monday to
arrest him, asked that he be given prelimi-
nary hearing Immediately upon his arrival in
Augusta.
u. S. Attorney Alderman consented to this
at the time, but late Sunday the following
telegram was received by Mr.. Watson:
Macon, Ca, June ~, 1912,
Thos E. Watson,
Thomson, Ga.
Alexander Alderman has been called to Wash
ington by Attorney General; cannot have pre-
Iminary hearing until he returns
CHAS ALDERMAN,
Assistant U. S. Attorney.
On learning that preliminary hearing
would not be granted, Mr.. Watson regarded it
as unnecessary to make the tedious trip to
Augusta for the simple purpose Of giving
bond, and, the trip was a double hardship
because of really serious indisposition which
is recurrent with him every year, at the
beginning of the heated season.
On account of this illness he wired Judge
Emory Speer as follows:
Hon. Emory Speer, .*...
Macon, Ga.
I telegraphed to Alderman, asking for premi-
nary hearing today. Answers that I cannot have
it. Please instruct your Commissioner in Au-
gusta to allow me to make bond here in Thorn
