his nomination four years ago
having been forced on the party
by Roosevelt by a corrupt use of
patronage as shameful as it was
when Taft used it to renominate
himself During the late investi-
cation Of the U. S. Steel Corpor-
alton by a Committee of Con-
gress a majority of whom are
democrats, facts were developed
which startled the country and
President Taf t believing it
would be popular move to at
tack this trust in the courts,
brought suit for its dissolution
as we'll as the dissolution of the
international Harvester Trust.
These two trusts are closely re-
lated. The Chairman of both
Finance Committees of these
corporations are one and the
same individual, George w. Per-
kins.
During President Roosevelt's
first administration both these
trusts were organized. They
were apparently on his list of
good trusts. Enraged at Presi-
dent Taft for having brought suit.
for their dissolution. the men
who organized these plratlcal
concerns, which prey on every
farmer in the land, started in to
defeat him. The honest progress
sives under the leadership of
LaLollette, had made much head
way in their campaign against
Mr.. Taft. when Mr.. Roosevelt
threw his hat into the ring and
became a candidate with the
money of the Steel and Harvester
Trusts behind him.
Defeated in the convention he
launched a new party with trust
money and with the chairman of
the Finance Committee of the
Steel Trust and Harvester Trust
as his campaign manager, Mr..
George w. Perkins. Thus for
once mammon has divided it's sup

favors and go back on Mr.. Taft

and go back on Mr.. Roosevelt.

trust rule, both as a passive
spectator as president when most
of the combinations were formed,
and as supporter of the principle
OF protection which has made
such a condition possible. Prcsi-
dent Taft was also given re-
sponsibility for a share of the
present condition. He declared
that the theory of the good trust
and the bad trust was purely
imaginary, formed owing to the
measure of benefits derived per-
sonally from the one, or withheld
by the other. In speaking of the
Baltimore convention, Mr.. John
son stated that he stood within
ten feet of the Great Commoner
when he presented his resolution
of emancipation from Wall street,
which all but threw that great
convention into panic. He saw
him stand and face that great
multitude. with face drawn but
determined and actually force
that conventson, by his wonder
fully inspiring personality, un.
seltishness and rugged honesty,
to pass that resolution that gave
to the people of the United States
clean, pure democracy, a dem
ocracy that stands for the rights
of men and not the combinations.
He spoke lnspiringiy of the per
sonallty and ability of Woodrow
Wilson, who he believed was al
ready assured an election, and
who be believed would give the
people a greater administration
than this country has had since
Lincoln. Mr. Johnson devoted
considerable attention to state
issues, and declared that he was
convinced that under the present
administration of state affairs
there was too much politics and
too little real business methods
applied. He declared that the
state expenses were Deedlessly
large owing to wasteful methods
and lack of personal and inteIli-
gent attention. He was sure that
state taxation. which in several
years has almost doubled without
any compensating benefits to the
people, could by strict business
methods and personal business
application be materially reduced
without lnpalrlng IN any way
our public service or public Instl-
tutlons. Mr. Johnson declared
for state regulation OF railroads,
for a good wholesome banking
guaranty law, for a adjustment
Of our taxing methods III the in
terests Of greater equality. as
well as calling attention to a num-
Der of other state matters that
he considered vital But the fea-
ture that aroused the greatest
interest. as we'll as admiration,
was when Mr. Johnson declared
that during the last few days he
bad been approached by Roose-
welt supporters who declared
that his election as governor was
assured II he would leave koose-
welt alone and keep out Of the
presidential question. Mr.. John
son replied that il be we're the
kind of man to have no right TO
express a preference on 20 great
a question as the presidency,
while all others were exercising
that privilege. he was not the
kind Of man this state needs at
this time for its governor. He
said that he felt confident Of his
election, but that nc would SOON
~ be defeated than assure his
election by sacrificing Woodrow
Wilson, And we believe the peo-
pie Of this state will admire Mr..
Johnson all the more for the pub
lie spirited and patriotic attitude
he has taken ON this matter.

OSCAR w. UNDEh WOOD
WOODROW WILSON

The voter shall strike from this
ticket the names of all candidates for
whom he does not desire to vote,
leaving thereon only the name OF the
candidate for whom he desires to
vote. Should the voter not desire to
vote for any candidate whose name
appears on the printed list, but for
some other candidate, he shall strike
from the ticket all of the printed
names and insert below the printed
names the name of such person for
whom he desires to vote.
1t may be we'll to caution the fol-
lowers of Clark and Harmon in this
county that vote for either of these
gentlemen in this state is practically
thrown away. To make your vote
count for anything it should be cast
for Wilson or Underwood-neither
CT the other candidates has ghost
of a show in Georgia.
Here in Terrell the sentiment
seems to be overwhelmingly in favor
of Underwood, the Southern candi-
date, and the county will in all prob
ability give him a good majority. In
fact, it is conceded by many Of the
most prominent Wilson men.

NEXT FRIDAY CLEAN UP DAY
ALL OF DAWSON is URGED TO
CHASE FILTH AND MICROBES.
1t Is to Be Skiddoo For Tin Cans,
and All Kinds of Refuse and
Garbage Everywhere.

Garbage Everywhere.
AS cleanliness is the only safe
guard to health civic health neces-
sarily means cleanliness.
The council and ladies of the town
have set apart Friday, May Bird, as
cleanup day. The removal and san
itary disposal at that time of tin
cans, garbage and all kinds of refuse
from streets, rear of stores, back
yards, etc., is insisted upon.
Since this is for the preservation
of the health of every useful citizen
of Dawson we feel that it is but
right to request that each person
clean up his own premises and the
street in front of his premises.
Last year the trash wagons were
not able to remove the trash in a
day. 1t will be moved this year IL
it takes a week, but if any citizen
will remove his own trash it will
greatly help a good cause.
Have all of your trash gathered
and moved or ready for removal at
8 O'Clock a. m. Friday.

AN APPRECIATION.
Those in Charge Thanked for Spleen
did Memorial Day Exercises.


Editor of The News: Your paper
has already carried notice OF the
beautiful memorial exercises at the
corut house on April 26th, but please
let me add a word of congratulat1on
to those in charge for the admirable
plans that made this sacred occasion
seem to each one present like
benediction that follows after pray
err Particularly would | express
nv appreciation of Mr.. Bacon's
scholarly and soulful address. 1t
would seem that nothing new could
be found for the makeup of Memo
rial Day orations, but Mr.. Bacon left
the beaten paths and led us up "a
sunIit trail" from which we caught
a. clearer view of our glorious past
and a radiant vision of the rainbow
of promise that spans the future OF
our Southland. There was food for
deep thought and spiritual uplift in
every sentence.
Mrs. Griggs, the efficient president
of the Mary Brantley Chapter, made
a happy selection for the orator of
the day, and it was highly pleased
audience. The decorations were the
admiration of everyone present. Mrs.
J. D. Weaver and her committee re-
ceived much praise for their artistic
work. The patriotic songs by the
school children were inspiring, the
music, led by Miss Bush, being one
OF the most delightful features. Daw-
son is better place for this fitting
tribute to the dead and honor to the
living heroes, and the community is
indebted to Mrs. Griggs and her COM
mittees for this unselfish labor of
love" SOUTHERNER.

BATTLE OF BALLOTS TODAY
TO VOTE FOR COUNTY OFFICERS
AND PRESIDENT.
-Four Names on Presidential Ticket.
Sheriff Is Only Local Office For
Which There Is Contest.

Which There Is Contest.
The primary election-a double
barrel affair for expressing a choice
of candidates for president and coun-
ty officers will be held today.
The sheriff's office is the only one
for which there is race, Sheriff M.
G. Hill being opposed by Chief OF
Police ]. q. Turner. There has been
comparatively little interest in the
contest, and how it will result is on
ly a matter of conjecture. 1t is the
opinion of most people who have
ventured one that it will be close
run between them. Each of them
seems confident of elction and claims
that the majority of the ballots will
come his way.
There are four names on the pres
idential ballots, which will be voted
separately from the county ticket.
These names are Champ Clark, Jud-
son C. Harmon, Oscar w. Under
wood and Woodrow Wilson. And
there is a blank line left for the
voter to scratch all these and vote
for any democrat he pleases. The
following is the way the ballots look:
For President of the United States:
CHAMP CLARK
JUDSON HARMON
