WILSON'S GREAT WELCoME

TT is doubtful if the annals of Georgia politics. va
ried and stirring they present parallel to
the Woodrow Wilson meeting held Tuesday night
in Atlanta. To be there have been gatherings
more tense with partisan Impulse, occasions when
local issues were more camorous but never, in the
history of Fulton county at least have the people
expressed such earnest and thoughtful enthusiasm
for a great and great cause as did the audi
ence which filled the auditorium to hear Woodrow
Wilson and to pledge its fealty to his standard
The night itself was as rough and repellant as a
downpour of wind-swept rain could make it, The
pavements streamed, the city drenched from end
to end and for an hour before the speaking began
the storm was. it's worst Yet despite all this the
auditorium the most spacious building of its kind
in the South was filled from stage to entrance, from
pit to balconies with audience such as any attrac
ton has seldom been able to draw.
most extraordinary fact is this signifying that
the people of the commonwealth where he was reared
are loyal to Woodrow Wilson. not simply because he
is of their own household. but chiefly because he is
the national leader who bear their partys cause
to success and restore South her rightful place
in the councils of the Union.
If the thousands of people who bfaved the dis
comforting night to hear this leader interested
and enthusiastic when they came, what terms can
describe their ardor, after they had heard his
address?
In the very outset MS personality peIFduSu anu
won the audience not through any of the ordinary
arts of professional speaker but by the quiet yet
contagious sincerity OF the man himself, and by the
breadth and incisiveness with with he pleaded the
cause for which he stands. TWAS forgotten for the
time being that he aspirant to the presidential
nomination; indeed, he himself forgot it himself He
was speaking in his behalf, but in behalf OF
great principles that come home to the hearthstones
of America when he declared

Governor Wilson's address, which is published
elsewhere in todays Journal carries its own best
comment 1t reveals his forcefulness, his pose and
his honesty as thinker, his cear-headed insight into
the problems of the day and his capacity to lead
the nation Alright in solving those problems
The transcendent lesson Of the welcome accorded
him Tuesday night is that Georgia is standing
shoulder to shoulder with the Democracy of the
country at large in a determination to win in the
coming campaign by making Woodrow Wilson its
leader. SIS

JUDGE THOMAS g LAWSON

AS rich in honor in length of days, crowned by
the love of people he served and of the state he
ennobled true Georgian and true man, Judge
Thomas G. Lawson has passed from his earthly labor
His death is mourned by this entire commonwealth
DRY will be cherished.
Never was citizen closer to the common life and
the best traditions of his state than Judge Law
son. It is pleasing and characteristic circumstance
that he was born and reared and spent his latter
years all within the same county, his native county
of Putnam His attachments we're particularly
strong; his patriotism rooted in the very soil
of Georgia and was a pulsing part of his love of
home and friends He embodied and bore into
new generation all the courtesy and neighborliness
that enriched the ways of the olden south; but at
the same time he caught the quckened march Of
events he ,discerned the needs of changing time
and his seventy-seventh year found him with face
toward the sunrise still striving for the things
of progress.
Judge Lawson's career was one of varied public
activities During the troublous days from sixtyone
to sixty-ve he represented his home county in the
state legislature and soldier upon the firing line
rendered drawer service finer devotion to the South
He was a delegate to the State Constitutional con-
Vention of 1871 in which he played constructive
part The year following he elected a superior
court Judge of the Ocmulgee circuit, and in this
capacity he served eight years. From 1888 to 1885,
he was again in the General Assembly. Then he was
chosen in his home district as Democracys champion
in particularly trying period the partys llfe he
was elected to congress after memorable campaign
and there he established through three terms record
that was distinction to the entire state. AS well
poised and as sound of judgment as he was progress
sive he steadfasty resisted the free silver faaces
of the middle nineties His sincerity on this issue
resulted in his temporary defeat but he lived many
years to see his views vindcated by his party and
by the people .,-s
Judge Lawson's interest IN the educ2tlonal affairs
Of Georgia was especially, keen. He had worked his
own way to Mercer University, from which he was
graduated in 1855 and ali his life long it was one OF
his highest endeavors to place the opportunity OF an
education within the reach Of every boy and girl in
the commonwealth At-the time of his death he was
member of MERGERS board of trustees and also OF
the recently created state board of education.
The service Judge Lawson rendered the cau-e OF
good government and liberal policies in Georgia Is
beyond reckoning. The example of his stainless and
useful character is above price. He lives today IN
the peoples larger freedom which he helped to win
in the states quickened ideals and above ALL does
he live in human lives made better by his presence

JESSE MERCER.

The retirement of Colonel Jesse E. Mercer from
the field of Georgia newspaperdom is matter of
keen regret to the public and to his compatriots in
the Fourth Estate. AS editor and publisher of the
Fitzgerald Enterprise he has rendered steadfas and
yirie service to the upbuilding of his immediate
community and section and to the cause of good
government throughout the commonwealth. For
twelve years he has exerted the influence at his com
mand in behalf Of progress and the people good
and he has made that influence continually wider
and more effective. ~.
The spirit of alertness and cooperation that
makes Fitzgerald known throughout the state has
found in Colonel Mercer and the Enterprise par
tcularly vigorous exponent The ideals of construc-
tive Democracy have found in him an able and in
trepid champion. AS editor and publisher he has
shown himself clearheaded and fearless always
working for what is good and always fighting for
what is right

1t was only to be expected that Georgia's greeting
to woodrow Wilson would be hearty and homelike;
but the full sweep and intensity of the welcome
accorded him on every hand could scarcely have
been foreseen. From the hour he entered the state
until the present moment, he has met continual
ovation and so it promises to be long as he re-
mains within our borders
On Wednesdays trip from Atlanta to Abany.'the
governor rode in day coach, ate box lunches and
mingled with his fellow passengers, AT every sta
ton along the road an expectant crowd of citizens
numbers of whom had driven in from the surround
ing country were waiting to greet him. The stops
we're necessarily brief often of only minute or
two but they sufhced to show the breadth of Wood
row Wilson's popularity and to leave upon the gath
cred people the impress of his personality eeol e.
His reception at Albany repeated the enthusiasm
Of the great Atlanta meeting. The Associated Press
dispatch declares: Rain did not seem to dampen
the ardor of southwest Georgians gathered at Albany
tonight to greet Woodrow Wilson, who has large
following in this section Of the state. Special
trains arriving during the afternoon brought large
delegations from out of town and every county in
this section of the represented in tonights
tremendous audience" In Albany, in Atlanta,
the weather conditions we're as untoward and dis
couraging as they well could be; yet one of the
largest audiences in the history of that city dis
trict assembled to hear the Democratic leader.
Likewise at Waycross, where ne made a MONDAY
address. citizens from every neighboring town and
county were present to show their enthusiasm in his
cause.
What is the meaning of these continual demon
strations?
They do not spring solely, chiefly from the cir
cumstances that Woodrow Wilson is southern born
and Georgia bred? True people are naturally
proud of these facts and, naturally they eager
to place in the White House family of their own
commonwealth.
But the prime source of Georgias popular interest
in Woodrow Wilson and the prime cause of her 10y
atty to his standard is that he is recognized in this
state, throughout the Union, as the one great
national leader who can bear Democracy to success
in the approaching presidential campaign.
He is recognized the abest and the most
advisable candidate in the field, statesman who
has earned his place the builders of American
history.
The reception that is being accorded him this
week throughout the state is but harbinger of the
vote will be polled for him for Democratic vic
tory May the first.
