BROWNS ACTION
WAS NOT SWAYED
BY POLITICS
Gave Careful Study to JET
fGrSOn Case

Atlanta, April 15.-Because it hap
pened that he disagreed with the pris
on commission and declined to grant
executive clemency to James Jefferson
who committed suicide in Muscogee
county Jail to avoid the gallows, Gov
Joseph M. Browns political enemies
are now attacking him on the theory
that he should have committed the sem
tence to life Imprisonment.
1t is said that some of these same
critics have been foremost in their
condemnation of the too free use of
the pardoning power; and the Incl
dent may be looked upon as one of the
BE damned if you do and be damned
if you don't" sort
1t is unquestionably natural that
relatives and friends of the condemn
ed man should have some feeling in
the matter; but it is difficult to recon-
| cile the charge that some of them are
making, that politics played part n
the decision.
Before the decision adverse to Jeffe,-
son was rendered it was charged tina.
politics was figuring in the case. but
on the other side! The theory was
that political influences were beins
brought to bear to save jefferson from
the gallows. But when the decision
came and was against him, this theory
was turned right around and some OF
Jetferson's friends are now charging
that politics turned the case against
him.
1t is a safe assertion that there is
no substance back of either one If
these charges or theories, as the case
ay be. There has probably never
been a criminal case in the history of
The state, involving an application for
executive clemency which was given
Ire careful or more earnest thought
by governor than this. And a months
respite, or Whereabouts, was given
solely that the governor might have
full time to go thoroughly into the
case.
No matter what Gov. Browns de-
cision had been in this case, it is GER
tain there would have been criticism
of it.

HEARST OUT FOR CLARK
in GEORGIA PAPER

Atlanta, April 15.-An event of con-
siderable political Importance was
passed over with little comment a.
Atlanta, when Mr.. Hearst's paper, The
Georgia, came out fiat-footed editor
tally and in its Jews, for Champ Clark
as the democratic presidential nomi-
nee.
Prior to this it was supposed that
just as Underwood and Harmon had
stepped out of the way of Clark in
some states, the soft pedal would be
kept On Champ Clark in Georgia. The
Underwood leaders expected it 0
Hearst. They even hoped that h
might go so far as to be friendly wit
Underwood. Until yesterday Thu
Georgian was not particularly out
spoken for either. But yesterday the
bolt fell The Georgian printed Mr.
Clark's picture and advised it's read
ers to vote for him. While the Wilso,
people are rejoicing, it is admitted it
the Underwood camp that the actor
of Mr.. Hearst is disappointment;
for every vote that Champ Clark get
in Georgia, and his name will be OF
the ticket, will probably come from tn
Underwood rather than the Wilson
ranks.
