And so, by gentlemen's agreement,
the rules went through
Now, Mr.. Watson had come pre-
pared to make a little speech-so it
is said. And the speech was in the
form of notes on number Of sheets
OF paper But the speech would take
more than fifteen minutes.
So the shrewd Gentleman from
McDuffie chow exceedingly polite
they were to him in his initial acts
announced that he had some resolu-
ton to present.
The resolutions were the pages of
his speech, cut up, with a where
as" and a "Be it resolved stuck in

They resoluted on everything
from shutting off all migration

of the public schools, and the wiping

Evidently under the agreement
the Gentleman from McDufFie" was
to be allowed to introduce all the
resolutions he wanted. 1t seemed
as though he would never cease. It
looked like a state platform and a
udClOudl pldIlOIm IO1I0u luIO one.
The resolutions were promptly re-
ferred to the committee on resolu-
tions. Doubtless out of Difference to
Mr. Watson, who had objected to
committees going into little rooms
to fix things, the committee was in
vited to sit off on the side of the
stage to hold it's deliberations.

way, that was the last heard Of the

uIdA DIS per agreement OF course.
And then he made the opening re-
marks, as per agreement, of course.
1t was the usual Watsonesuue
plea for the restoration of the county
unit system, for the suppression of
the power that had been grated on
the few big counties of the state.
1t was a protest against the election
of the slate-fxed lists of delegates,
district, or at large, and a demand
for the voting by counties on the
delegates at large.
The thin, wiry statesman from
McDuffie stood among his friends
from home as he began the perfor-
nance. But there were cries of
"Stage, stage!"
Ovation to Watson.
And as the old Populist leader
wendell his way slowly down the
aisle to the stage, he received an
ovation that might we'll have made
him imagine himself the king bee of
the whole convention. 1t was as
great an ovation as Hoke Smith has
ever had and it lasted until the stage
was reached
The stage is too high from the
floor to ascend with ease. So the
Gentleman from Chatham rushed
from the right wing to assist the
Gentleman from McDuffie" to DO
sition to the left of the center.
That's right, help him Up" shouted
the crowd-or some of the crowd.
1t was necessary to stoop low to
do this, but with all the courteous
grace of Chesterfield the Gentle
man from Chatham assisted the
Gentleman from McDufie."
The audience laughed. It was all
good natured. The prologue was
moving along beautifully.
Then came the adoption of the
rules. Of course, this was all by
agreement. Mr.. Watson had an
nounced that the delegates at large
must be elected by the county vote,
cheerfully acceded to, as by agree
ment.
1--WE are delighted" said the Cen
tleman from Chatham. eve are all
moved oy the same ardent desire"
or words to that effect.
And the Gentleman from Nc
Duffie" looked upon the Gentleman
from Chatham" and they both
smiled. All was as joyful as a we'd
ding morn. The lion and the lamb
were lying down together and nei-
Their one was inside the other
Mr.. Watson had declared at the
Kimball House address to his
friends that there should be no five
minutes limitation on the God-given

So there was none. A fifteen-min-

ogies to Mr.. Watson, of course, as,
it was explained, it was necessary

To begin with, the leaders, or
these who assumed that position,
were decidedly wary of antagonizing
the Hon. Thomas E. Watson and
provoking an issue of strength with
him.
The first day of the rally, the day
before the convention, they were
boastfuI.
eve will beat him to a fragile"
they were heard declaring in the
Kimball house corridors and at the
preliminary gatherings in the poll
tical chambers of that famous old
political headquarters.
Watson came. Watson held his
meeting. 1t was not possible to dis
tinguish between delegates and spec
tators, but there was a big crowd
and there was display of enthu-
siasm for Watson and a buzz of
Watson talk that made the "lead-
ers'' sit up and do some thinking
Still they told each other in con-
f1dence, and boosted somewhat
openly, that when it came to show
down the man from Thomson would
be wiped off the floor.
Watson's remarks were pacifica-
tory, to an extent, but with a ring
of determination to them.
Then came the district meetings,
to select delegates to the national
convention and attend to the other
preliminary work of the convention
And it was here that the leaders
got their first shock, a real genuine
shock, that sent spasm of fear up
and down their spinal columns.
In not single district delegation
did they dare force their slate
through.
The scheme was to have each dis
trict indorse seven delegates at
large. The eighth place was to be
left open.
Gentlemen" the delegates were
told, there is no desire to interfere
with any ones privilege of voting
for Mr.. Watson. You see, only seven
are named in this list. This leaves
place on the delegation open for
Mr.. Watson or anybody else the con-
Vention may select"
Congressman Brantley had been
picked for the eighth place to make
the fight against Watson.
But the delegates refused to stand
for the program. In every district
meeting there was prompt repudia-
ton. County after county and dele
gate after delegate, demanded the
right to exercise the privilege of vot-
ing without being tied up to any
slate of seven.
In no district did the leaders dare
to attempt to push the prearranged
program through. The spirit of the
delegates did not favor it. They
were afraid to bring it to vote.
The Watson men began to be more
in evidence. The news circulated
that his strength was vastly greater
in the convention than had been
anticipated. 1t was an open ques-
ton whether on clean-cut issue as
to Watson, his supporters would not
dominate several of the districts,
force the issue in advance, and the
various district combinations might
all go to pot.
Pleading With Watson.
Then began the dickering, the
bartering and pleading. The lead
ers of the Georgia Democracy,
bluffing and clustering to some
extent, shivering in their shoes
seemingly in reality, sought out the
genial statesman from Thomson.
Little Joe," the Governor of the
great State; Jack Slaton, the would
be-next Governor, and others sought
Watson's room. They sought him to

watson s uICeGn or twenty thOuS-
and votes, if they are that many, are
needed, badly needed, by the At
lanta candidate. To affront Watson
too much. to anger him, might mean
the loss of his support and influ-
ence. And so the present Governor
and the Atlanta aspirant for Gov
ernor bowed to the mighty Watson.
The mountains went to Mahomet,
not Mahomet to the mountains. Wat
son sat in his room at leisure and
the leaders sought him out Watson
has the goods they wanted and the
dealer always seeks the man with
the goods.
So the IDEAL was made. Even Tom
Fielder acknowledged it. 81 agreed
not to precipitate any fight with
Watson" said he, ''as it might en-
barrass certain political arrange
ments made with him.
Unblushing barter! That's all!
How will the staunch Georgia De-
mocracy that has stood by the party
year in and year out and fought
Watson and all he represented, look
upon it? How will the picture Of
Gov. Brown and GubernatoriaI AS
pirant Slaton rushing to the confer
ence OF Watson, running to his
rooms, pleading with him, trading
with him, how will this picture sit
on the already overloaded stomachs
of the tens of thousands who are not
aspirants for office?
The gentlemen's agreement be-
tween the parties was consummated
on the morning of the convention.
The delegates massed at the Grand
expecting battle royal. The dele
gates of course, are not permitted
to get behind the scenes. 1t is called
a Democratic convention, but the
wire pulling and the agreements
were limited to the few chosen souls
the very few, at that.
Watson was to be the whole
cheese, so far as appearances went,
at the open gathering of the party
in which the arrangements perfected
were to be officially consumated.
Mr.. Watson objected to some
thing. Mr.. Anderson hastily rushed
across the stage. Side by side on a
held a confab.
Diplomatic.
1t was really affecting
'The Gentleman from Chatham"
would arise.
'"There is no real difference be-
tween me and the Gentleman from
McDuffie," he would say, addressing
the chair and the delegates. "Mr
Watson merely did not catch the
true purport of the rule" or the
resolution or whatever it happened
to be.
After these incidents delegate
from the rear bawled out: "Have
the gentlemen from McDuffie and
Chatham agreed as to what the con-
vention shall do?"
And the bunch of delegates from
Chatham looked on and wondered,
and then wondered some more
The fine points of the game seemed
lost on them.
They seemed to be scratching
their heads and wondering Of they
were dreaming.
Was this Watson, the man they
travelled three hundred miles to as
sist in crushing lat whose final OBJ
sequies they were prepared to fur
nish the pail bearers? Was this
Watson, who seemed tc be the whole
performance?
When the Chatham delegation left
Atlanta, by the way, it knew more
about Georgia politics than it knew
