pettlcOatS; and That woman is the
widow of the SOuth's greatest Re-
publican. 1t i'll becomes the Demo-
Gratis of this city to pounce upon me
in the hour of Democratic victory
like a pack of hungry wolves.
But why should a woman, stand
ing on the soil Of the State from
whose bosom she is sprung, have to
submit to insult from Dean and the
drunken~Democrat rabble in the
hour of Democratic triumph? Be
cause [ had been loyal to the great
American who had twice commits
stoned me in this Office and in whose
platform l found provision for the
social justice and moral uplift for
which good women have been strug-
Cling through the long centuries.

was particularly vicious on the occa-
sion of a function at Brenau College
in honor of distinguished Ameri-
can Statesman, whose good will [
enjoy and whose pleasure it always
is, when he Journeys to Gainesville,
to pay homage to the fame of the
great soldier whose dear name I
bear. l hold Brenau's diploma and
| reflect as much glory on it as any
one into whose hands Brenau has
ever placed a diploma I am entitled
to be hOnored by the faculty, the
board of trustees and the student
body of Brenau College. When my
name is mentioned under the college
roof, it should be mentioned in trib-
ute and not in derisiOn.
Why should Mr. Dean set himself
up as a privileged dispenser of@pat-
ronage in the Wilson administration
and special spokesman for the ebul-
lient JOY that today throbs the Dem
ocratic breast? When the candidacy
of Theodore Roosevelt made the
nomination of the cleanest strong
est man the Democrats had, a politi-
cal necessity; Woodrow Wilson was
nominated, not with the help Of Mr..
Dean and his faction of the Demo-
cratic party, but in spite of them.
Mr.. Dean went to Baltimore and
worked against Mr. Wilson to the
very last. And when every other
name had been withdrawn and every
other State had cast it's vote for the
great Democrat who has led the
Democratic hosts to such a victory
as they have never won before, Dean
and his crowd were still voting for
Oscar Underwood Georgia's vote, to
the disgrace of Georgia Democracy,
was never cast for Woodrow Wilson,
and so much pain did this action
give to the gentle and gifted Geor-
gia woman who will be the next mis-
tress of the white house, that she
made public expression of her re-
gret.
But why did I have to bear the
taunts and insults of Dean and the
drunken Democratic hOodlums? Be-
cause my WOman's heart had made
me loyal to the great American who.
in the hour of my bitter woe and
broken health and pitiful need, had
done more for me than any other
man in the world. God bless him
greater in defeat than any other citi-
zen of the earth could be in victory!
God bless him !-"New birth of
the new soil, the first American
Theodore Roosevelt. And God grant
that he and that other one who sits
in the republics executive office to-
day, and to whom history will give
his rightful place as a great Ameri-
can, may again join hands in
brotherhood more ancient than the
new bitterness-mO lasting than
hate: whose benedictiOns shall rect
