RELIEF STEAMER
CORWIN WRECKED

NOME, Alaska, Sept. 21.-The
mail boat Silver Wave arriving
here today brought news that
the Karluk relief steamer Cor
win, formerly a revenue cutter,
while returning from Wangell
island, had struck an uncharted
rock off Cape Douglass, about
half way between Nome and Tell
er. A strong off-shore wind had
caused shallower water in the
usual route of coast boats, re-
sulting in the Corwin's mishap.
The Corwin's wireless was not
strong enough to reach Nome.
The United States revenue cutter
Bear, at st. Michael, was notified
by wireless of the Corwin's plight
and in reply said she would leave
Immediately for Cape Douglass
and try to pull the Corwin Off.

their telegram until he was in position to as
sure them of practical results of legislation in
Washington.
Having waited until the psychological mo-
ment, the candidate for the Senate assured the
Cordele gentlemen that 1--WE will certaiqoly
provide sufficient currency"
Vote for me, and 1--WE" will do it! "Plars
will be perfected" &C. Don't sell except-for
"a normal price,"
There was no doubt, no uncertainty, no mis-
giving The voters We're not reminded that
Smith was only one man, and that this one
man-the virtuous and patriotic-might be
overcome by wicked bipeds and adverse cir
cumstances.
There isn't q shadow Of doubt .dimming the
radiance of the Cordele telegram.
There wasn't jangling discord of uncer-
tainty In any of those other kilograms sent to
all parts Of the State, read at public meet
lngs, circulated around the towns, and eagerly
passed along the country roads.
Smith had not acted hastily: Smith had
waited until he could make sure: Smith had
made sure; and now, five days before the pri-
mary, Smith was telling everybody that 1--WE
will certainty provide the money to finance
the surplus crop and assure a normal price!
What else could the anxious cotton-growers
do but to trust Smith? To change horses at
such time was not to be thought of-and the
Smith tooters made the most of those tele-
grams.
What does Smith now say, in his statement
of November 9th?
Let us read it - ra*s
"For the past few weeks many false statements
nave been circulated charging Congress with the
failure to take any action to aid the cotton situa-
ton in the South These statements have been
published in some newspapers ordinarily
sidered reliable. I wish to give you the facts
But, before doing So let me refer to the alb
surd charge that promised before the primary
IL IL cents cotton to the farmers of Georgia OF
course any such charge was unQualif1edly false.
No man could possibly control the price Of cot
ton. For me to have promised that the farmers
would receive IL IL cents for their cotton would
have been childish. The charge was not only
false, but silly.
While Congress has not done all that wished
to see done, yet the cotton situation in the South
has been immensely helped by legislation passed
since the began.
"No one man could possibly control the
price of cotton" says Smith
No: he could not. At least, he couldn't do
it after the election. We've seen that tried
But before the election, it was different
just days before the voting, it looked as
though one maintained Smith-could con-
troll the laws, control the Government control
the money, and control the price of cotton.
On August 18th, it looked as though one
maintained Smith-had made careful in
vestlgation Of the case, and had discovered
that he and a few others would certainly pro
vide all the money needed to assure normal
price
Nothing was said about cents being a nor
NAL price.
Hoke Smith now says it would have been
childish" for him to have made any such
promises.
Oh no. 1t was not Smith who was childish.
Smith is neuer childish. The innocent infancy

Senator Smiths income is generously swelled
by the profits on the sale of beer In his Pied
mont Hotel barroom.
Addressing the religious, recently, Hoke
Smith said
"It is absolutely impossible to have perma-
nenty decent municipal government where the
saloon dominates municipal politics. The eImi-
nation of the saloon will help municipal politics
everywhere"
epf>- \ q a.
Was it childish for Hoke Smith to say that?
Not at ALL But it is amusingly childish for
anybody to be taken In by it.
[ would love to see Mrs. Armor and Seab
Wright undertake to eliminate Hoke Smiths
saloon!
In letters which were showered all over the
State Of Georgia, few days before the pri-
mary, he used such assertions as those con-
tanned in his letter to Mr.. c.. III. Wester, Of
Temple, Georgia:
The Administration in all of it's branches and
Senators and Congressman, are united in an earn
est effort to meet the situation At meeting Of
the Senator's and Congressman from the cotton
growing States, | was made Chairman of an
Executive Committee with Senator and Con-
gresham from each of the cotton growing States,
to work for you here We are doing our best,
and We are succeeding.
Sincerely yours,
HoKE SMITH.
In other letters he said that legislation to
relieve the cotton growers 'is in sight, that
ample money to provide for holding the crop,
''will be forthcoming::" "Cotton will be kept
up to a normal price. Those who sell now,
will be those who lose"
And even in the Macon convention when he
was knitting Slaton, breaking his plighted
faith as to neutrality, perfecting the deal be-
tween Fielder and Hardwick, and helping
Hardacies steal Hutchens vo5es, he reiterated
this statement that the way to assure - cents
cotton was to elect Hardwick (the "Progres-
slve") to the Senate!
And now after he has been stung through
his rhinoceros hide by the refusal of respect
able, self-respectlng, and independent Demo
Gratis to vote for him in the regular election,
he tries to cover up the tracks he so recently
made in playing the bunco game
They tell us that contempt pierces even the
shell of the tortoise; and the fact that only
10000 Democrats could be persuaded, bulHed
or decoyed into voting for Hoke Smith on
Nov. 3rd, appears to have pierced the plates
of has self-conceit
In his statement to the public, he now
argues that Congress did relieve the cotton
situation
Why, then, did he make his second grand
stand play, just previous 70 the November
election, pretending to want to keep Congress
from .adjourning, until it had relieved the
farmer?
While has was doing this, the Hoke Smith
papers again raised the chorus Of praise tell
ing the people that Smith would not allow
Congress to adjourn, because it had not

THE HOG-EYE SENATOR TRIES
TO DENY HIS RECORD.
Sore Over the Rebuke He Got
AT the Elections.

Al the Elections.
IN round numbers $4,000 Georgians voted
for Hoke Smith in the primary of August
10Th.
Thousands of these men were actuated by
the belief that Hoke Smiths stay in the Sen
ate meant legislation which would keep the
price of cotton up.
The Hol1e Smith papers said it, the Hoke
Smith letters said it: the Hoke Smith news
paper correspondents said it the Hole Smith
teIegrans SAID 1t.
The loud, persistent chorus of the HoIe
Smith partisans was that if Hoke Smith were
let alone, he would obtain the laws and the
money necessary to keep up the price Of cot
ton.
What was the price when that confidence
game began?
1t aras - 10 cents!
Therefore, when Smith and his friends said
he would keep up the price of cotton, they
meant the price then prevailing.
Anything else would have been meaning
less. If he had said that what he meant by
keeping cotton up was, to let it go dorm, then
the most credulous of his dupes would hardly
have complained at its going dorm, when he
said up.
First of all, let us see what it was that Hoke
Smith himself promised, when he was uneasy
about the primary of August 10th
lust fire days before the primary, Hoze
Smith himself sent the following telegram to
the Cordele Chamber of Commerce:
Washington, D. c., Aug. 18th, 1914

Have delayed answering your telegram until

from legislation here. We will CERTAINLY pro-
vide sufficient emergency currency to carry
the surplus crop. Cotton should only be sold for
"a normal price. Plans WILL BE perfected to aid
III accomplishing this result. Am writing you
fully today

Cordele, Ca, Oct 80, 1914
Why was the telegram sent?
Why was it ''posted in conspicuous places?"
Why did it bring the bunco-steerer Hundreds

That telegram was sent to deceive. It was
posted conspicuously in different places, to
dcccirc. 1t had the desired effect, and did
deceive.

how they had been buncoed by Hoke Smith,
