Ohm TEMPLE GRAVES has at last broken into
the editorial page of the Atlanta Georgian with
~ a signed article. The signature is superhuouc.
it could have been spotted by the earmarks' ana
such Georgian readers prefer solids to wind pud-
ding their mental menu viii doubtless regret to
see any Brisbane's space wasted.
John Temple Graves Gives the Real Facts About
woodrow Wilson" the article is headed.
Funny, now, isn't it, that Georgia Democrats
getting the real facts about the leading
from who IN the last presidential campaign
Hearsts Independent league ticket designed TO
scuttle Democracy in the interest Of the Republicans
and who was awarded the handsome tribute Of 81
votes in the state OF which he claims to be son?
But there is pertinent fact" that Colonel
Graves curiously omits to mention in his TRADE OF
assertions and msstatements-and this one omitted

Colonel Graves lets it be known that he is mental
~ and teetotaly opposed to Woodrow Wilson, but he
does say who he is for.
OF course everybody knows that Colonel Graves
is only Mr.. Hearsts hired and has no political
preference to principles or candidates OF his o"n
merely point out this little popularity as cor
scSons blame for which we have always exonerated
Messrs Harmon Clark and Underwood, however much
they being but concerning which there 10
longer any possibility Of doubt 1t being ex-
empIhed in every state where Democratic primaries
are being in the unnatural Alphonse and CASTOR
courtesy Of these candidates in Withdrawing their
candidacy in favor Of each other
"favorite SON. conspiracy had its origin in the
Republican administration organ Washington. the
POST and we pointed out the design at the time 1t
the Democratic party and killing OF the strongest
candidate to himself slip in as the dark horse"
The washington Posts recent publication Of the
elongated Hearst dIatribe against Wilson exposed the
oirect collision between Hearst and the Taft organ
1t may be- Collier says that the formal or
informal cooperation Of the Democratic state
chimes whether they prefer Harmon Underwood, or
Clark to the Wilson movement at any price Is
a genuine damage to the governors chances" But
there are compensations, among which, as Golfers
says: .
The continued vtuperation OF Hearst, the other
hand should looked upon by Wilson as celestial
gift The washington Post belongs to John r. Nc
Lean who has combined criminal advertising with
underground politics and public service manipulation
successfully enough become rch-posstbly, for all
we know, as Hearst himself 1t is this paper
that Alsorandolph chose in which to give another
blast against his pet enemy. Hearst, by the way
was booming Mclean 'industriously for senator not
long since. Now it is McLeans turn to play WHY'S
game Hearst will cease to believe that he
has chance president himself, and so VIII
never stop throwing dirt at those who interfere
whether It be silly bats for the careless reader
about Wilson now, malicious lies about Hughes
following suddenly Hmitless praise Of him, the
change coming the very day Hearst thought he saw
binsef as governor Whenever he tries for an office
he SHIFTS on somebody and 1T is likely to be the most
deserving man he can find. Of Wilson he nows says,
Il will not advise people to support him, let all
the dogs from Spot to Ceberus howl as they will "
And IL Is as that Hearst will again bolt the
marty when Wilson is nominated and fight for Taft as
he did in 1908
How will those Georgians who have allowed them
selves to be led the of this notorious and
CONFIRMED political assassin then feel about 1t?
