and every member of it residing at It's
headquarters, Union City, where the
News is published.-all are for Governor
Woodrow Wilson for president.
So reads a statement issued from Will
son headquarters in Atlanta, Wednes-
day.
This assertion is not made without
authority. 1t has not only the sem
blance of authority. but the absolute
guarantee of truth.
Among all the members and officers
of the Farmers Union living at Union
city, Ga, not one is in favor of the
nomination of Congressman Underwood
for president.
Not one is opposed to the nomination
of Governor Woodrow Wilson.
I'm all of Union City. taking the popu-
lation as a whole, there are not more
than half dozen voters who oppose the
nomination of Governor Wilson Not
one of that number is connected in any
way. with the Farmers Union -
'aThe two pages of space which the
Underwood campaign managers, equipp-
ed with what seem to be unlimited
funds, bought and paid for in the recent
issue of the Union News. do not reflect
in any wise the sentiment of that publ
cation or of. the Heading members and
officers of the Farmers Union in Union
City.
Those two pages were sold to the
Underwood campaign just as they. would
have been sold to any advertisers-at
so much per page The sale Of them
could not we'll have been refused.

Woodrow Wilson
WHO HE is AND WHAT HE STANDS FOR

are due to this same excessive fostering
of one side of national life at the eX-
pense of the other. The alterations and
economic balance of our life. the artificial
stimulation, have destroyed that poise
and balance which have been created by
this protective policy. And now see
what point We have reached. We have
stimulated il so much that we have not
a large enough market or the means
of disposing of the surplus product.
These circumstances make the tariff
question a new question. Our internal
arrangements and new combinations on
business on one side and on the other
our exteral necessities and the need to
give scope to our energy which is now
pent up and confined within our own
borders: and yet the standpat Republi-
can leaders remain unenlightened, unln-
formed, absolutely blind and stubborn

"One of their most delightful expo
sitions of patriotic purpose is, we mns'
have new industries; if we have not
got them we must acquire them at aGy
cost. Professor TAussig calls attention
to the fact that in the debate in the
senate on the Adrich bill, Mr.. Aldrich
said, in defense of a duty of so per
cent on some article, that he was just
as willing to pay 800. 400 or 500 pei

New Question to Which old
Theories Cannot Be Applied

way they are going to prosper in what
is a selfish game. tt
What is the conclusion of the whole
matter? There are three conclusions.
In the first place, we have been doing
this thing at tremendous economic
disturbance, artifically changing cur
whole plans of society, and / fear we
will go on doing it at an enormous
waste.
I'm the second place, we have Sot
ourselves in the habit of legislating for
the few instead of. for the many. the
theory of the Republican party has
been, if few prosper, all will be given
share of their prosperity; if goa
make the great captains of industry
rich, they will make the country rich.
It isn't so, but we have been. foolish
enough to believe 1t sometimes. We
have been foolish enough to settle ma
tional elections on the belief that IL
is so.
Now there is another thing thai
this has done. It has reversed all our
natural conceptions Of government. The
worst feature of protection is the de-
moralization of our political ideas. We
have based government upon patronage
and privilege instead of upon justice
and equality. That's the cancer that
eats at the hearts of all.
"Now, what are we going to do? Are
we going to turn revolutionists? Are
we going to act as free traders? ]
wish I might hope that our grandchil-
dren could indulge in free trade, but !
am afraid even they cannot because
they have to pay the bills of the fed
eral government. We have a federal
system of government, but it is wise, it
is good housekeeping. it is good man
agement to leave direct taxes, for 1ne
most part, to the state government. i9e-
cause they have current bills to pay. 1t
is likely that for an indefinite period
we shall have to pay our national bills
by duties collected at the ports. Though
am not for drastic changes, yet wish
saw some ultimate escape from 1T.
At present / do not. Therefore, Whas
we have to ask ourselves is not the
principle upon which we are to act, for
that is plain. We are to act upon the
fundamental principle of the Democrat
ic party, not free trade, but tariff for
revenue, and we have got to approach
that by such avenues. by such stages,
and at such pace as will be consist
ent with the stability and safety of the
business of the eopntry."

man, was acquitted.
Plat, the white man, charged with
the murder of a man named Hurst, was
not tried as the only witness in the case
was a woman who was not well enough

The grand jury was busy all the week
investigating blind tigers and various 9TH

 ~1ARAH DUNCAN had not fol- M lowed the trail many rods when her trouble began She - was not Freckles. and not a bird of the line was going to be fooled into thinking she was. They kept whizzing from their nests and darting from all sorts of unexpected places about her head and feet with quick whirrs that kept her starting and jumping. Before Freckles was half way to the town poor Mrs. Duncan was hysterical and the Timber lost had neither sung nor performed for her.
 ''I wouldna stay in this place for million month." she had said. and the sound of her voice brought no com fort, for it was so little like she had thought it that she glanced hastily about to see if it had really been she that spoke.
 Her chin was quivering like a. terri fed childs. Almost into her face went a nighthawk stretched along a limb for it's daytime nap. Mrs. Duncan sprang down the trail. lighting on a frog. The croak it gave as she crush ed it sickened her. She screamed wild iy and jumped to one side. That car ried her into the swale, where the grasses reached almost to her waist. and her horror of snakes returning she made a flying leap for an old log lying along the line She lit on it squarely, but it was so damp and rotten that she sank straight through it to her knees. She caught at the wire as she went down and. missing. raked her wrist over 8 barb until she laid it open in bleeding gaSh. Her fingers closed convuIsively around the second strand.
 She was too frightened to scream now. Her tongue stiffened. She clunR frantically to the SagEing wire and finally managed to grasp it with the other hand. Then she could reach the top wire. and so she drew herself up and found solid footing. She picked up the club that she had dropped in order to extricate herself. Leaning heavily on it, she got back to the trail.
