WoOIu" TURN me OUT until the end OF
my term, if for no other reason than
because of the personal friendship
or his parents and his wife's with
my parents in years gone by.
And last but not least, / feel sure
that / could be appointed because
MT. Henry S. Jackson Tin the hol-
low of whose hand all the Taft ap-
pointments will rest) has this week
given me notice that he has ap-
pointed me as an active member of
the Taft clubs committee to cooper
ate with the Republican central
committee to push the interest of
Mr.. Taft. But this notice has thrown
the fat in the fire for me- l did not
help Mr.. Roosevelt before the first
Chicago convention or after it. And
though felt the steam rising when
he advocated policy for the South
exactly In line with the views that
l have always held, I tried to "sit
steady IN the boat" and "hold down
the lid
When you get to be 40, you don't
nanker about putting yourself in
line to lose your job. But I had to
write Mr.. Jackson that in justice to
Mr.. Taft and to him, and myself. I
would not serve on that committee.
l have great respect for Mr.. Taft
personally, but | have never liked
the way that nomination was given
TO him, and now that the issue is
made as to who shall control in
Southern politics, l feel that his
election at this time will POSTPONE
for years our having strong active
second party in the Southern States.
But just at this time, l am mighty
glad that Mr.. Taft does not believe
in the recall
L would rather be hung for being
bull moose than for being q moose
calf.
So here | am with my foot in the
political ring, asking of the powers
that be, that l have the same liberty
to act for Mr.. Roosevelt that would
have been granted me, and expected
OF me, if l had accepted a place on
Mr.. Jackson's committee.
AS one who has been in touch
with the white Republican Office
holders in Georgia, it gives me
pleasure to state that they are as
fine a body Of gentlemen as will be
found in the same number of men
in any party anywhere, and the best
politicians on earth. For years
they have been working between the
upper and lower mill stones.
They had to keep the negro in the
background at home, and out of
politics to insure peace and prosperi-
ty for our State, and they had to
keep him in the front in national
conventions to insure the Republican
party getting the negro vote in
doubtful States, and themselves
holding the jobs at home, and they
have handled the situation beauti-
fully.

this question hung up in the air to
be used as bug boo" to scare
the folks at home, or bluff the folks
away from home.
1t is up to every Republican and
independent voter in this State, who
Is tired of personal politics, who is
tlred OF the small part that the
South has in national affairs-to
come clean on this one issue of the
coming campaign, so far as the
South is concerned.
IT Mr.. Roosevelt or Mr.. Taft is
elected, it will be without your di-
rect aid, and by voting for Mr..
Roosevelt as against Mr.. Taft, and
giving him the greater vote, or by
making the combined vote for the
Two greater than it has been in re-
cent years for any one anti-Demo-
cratic candidate, you will settle this
question for years to come. for it
will demonstrate that the South can
De loosened up politically if she
feels that her interests are pro-
tected.
| do not hesitate to ask any Pop
ullst friends and former party asso-
c1ates to join this new movement.
for | know you to be the real pro-
gressives of this nation.
The things that you stood for have
made Bryan the dominant man of
MS party, and the progressive ten
denotes of the Democratic party
which gives it it's only chance for
victory, are the result of new blood
that you injected into it's veins, and
1T is by advocating the principles of
government that you advocated that
causes Theodore Roosevelt to be the
man Of the hour in the nation.
This nation took your medicine,
but 1t cursed the doctor. It got bet
ter but it has refused to pay the
bill.
Why tag your twenty-thousand
votes to the Democratic majority in
Georgia?
Why not put them where they
will mean something to the future of
your children, and yet not jeopardize
the traditions of the South?
I appeal especially to the young
men of the South This movement
means much more to you than it can
ever mean to me. If you have indie
pendence, l beg of you to assert it.
If you have ambition, I assure you
there is little chance for you to sat
isfy it under this one party sys-
tenn, for there has grown up a lock-
step approach to the political offices
OF this State, of pledges and promi-
ses that makes it hard for the man
who is only backed by ability and
independence.
And the same one party sys-
tenn has caused the South to be
OF such little moment in the affairs
of the nation at home or abroad
We, the true Americans, are not
known as Americans.
Young man, in the coming cam
paign you are going to answer some
battle cry. Will it be the narrow
party slogan, vote for the Demo
cratic nominee, even if it should be
a yellow dog?
Shall it be to the "toot-toot' of
the machine politician as he drives
his steam roller over everything, or
will it be to that call from the broad
open country, "half defiant, half
yearning?" Ready to fight those
who must have fight; anxious to
love those who would have love-
Surely this is battle cry that can
find a responsive chord in your
breast.
From a strictly personal and
financial standpoint, realize that l

gress1ve party candidates in
- the field for governor and
Congress this fall; but I do say that
there should be.
The only way to have a party-is
to have it. Have some one for the
people to vote for all along the line.
! have heard men of all political
parties, in the past, say they wished
there was another respectable party
In the South, active and strong At
last we have an opportunity to afii-
ate with such a party.
1t was impossible to have such
party unless it was national in it's
following, and unless it was South
ern in it's declarations, as to the part
that the negroes should have in poll
tics in the South.
In convention not dominated by
Southern influence, the Southern
view as to this most important
issue was adopted as one of the
foundation stones upon which this
progressive party would build it's
house
NOW what are you Southern white
Republicans going to do about it?
For years we have been whisper
ing together, eff we could only get
rid of the negro what party we
could have, but the national party
will not let us do it,.
Well, now, the very same national
Republicans have seen tn. error of
their ways, and without your help,
Or my help, they have adopted our
views on this subject. So l repeat,
hot IN a. 81
AS for me, | am going to pull for it,
tooth and toe nail. have heard the
call of the Bull Moose, and | am 60
ing to below back to him to beat
the band.
For twenty-five years, as Popu-
list and Republican, I have stood
for a broader political horizon for
the South. I realize that no party
can stand, or should stand, that did
not come clean as to the part the
negro should have in Southern poll
tics
| saw the strong, aggressive grow
ing Populist party in this State
strangle itself to death, because it
honestly tried to give tht negro
broader political life, and for years
he has been as rottenness to the
bones of the Republican party of
this State, to such an extent that it
did not dare to attempt any part in
State politics.
For nearly fifty years the Demo
cratic party of the South has tied
itself into hard knot on account of
the negro being a political factor in
the nation Individuals surrender
ing their ambition, and the party
satisfied to represent only a section,
rather than surrender it's convictions
on this question. And this year, the
great Republican party founded to
secure the liberty of the negro, was
itself racked and split in twain be-
cause he had become, and was, a
political factor, an asset of that
party.
| have been voter twenty-eight
years, and in that short time, | have
known three great parties to fail to
make good nationally because the
negro was a political factor in the
affairs of this nation.
Surely it is time to wake up on
this question. / do not know to
what extent the negro may eventual
1y participate, as race, in the
affairs of the State and nation, but
/ do know that massed as they have
been in the South, and regarding the
ballot as the great majority of them
still regard it, it is folly to take any
other position on this question, than
