JACK SLATON WON'T LIKE THIS
LETTER.
LETTER.

My Dear Mr.. Watson: I have just
finished reading your Jeff of April
30th, and must say, l think it is
the best issue you have ever gotten
out. You have 1neshed w. J.
Burns to a queens taste, and given
him some fine pointers by which he
can profit in future cases, unless his
power Of comprehension is so weak
until he can not grasp an intelligent
idea. | think Burns is an accom-
plice, with Leo Frank, after the
fact, for he has openly and fragrant
ly tried to obstruct Justice. How
the good people Of Atlanta have been
able to contain themselves under
such circumstances is more than I
am able to understand. We are
taught to let patience have her per-
feet work, but | think that patience
has ceased to be a virtue in this
sheraton.
Hoke and Jack have both be-
trayed the people, and no one has
shown it SO clearly as you.
Jack Slaton is not entitled to any
consideration at the polls, for he has
virtually slapped his friends in the
face by refusing to oppose Hoke
Smith for the Senate. The cry went
up from all over the State that he
enter the contest. Time, money and
influence were pledged him, and he
could have won at a canter. But
no; the trade had been made. Jack
said he could not afford to enter
the contest with the Atlanta Journal,
The Georg: an, the Augusta Chroni-
Gle, The Savannah Morning News,
and practically the combined daily
press of the State against him He
fatty refused to serve the people,
and throws himself into the cam
paign for ex-senator Bacon's place.
He may soothe himself with the idea
that he will have walk over" but
the day has come when the citizens
of a great commonwealth like the
State of Georgia VIII not submit to
such an affront, but will rise in their
might and crush every self-appointed
representative.
If Jack Slaton had felt the inter-
est of the people at heart he would
willingly have gone into the fray;
but he acts the POLITICAL COW
ARD, and seeks to further his own
selfish interests. Jack Slaton could
have been great man, but, by
few mistakes, he has dug his politi-
cal grave, and when the last sad rites
are performed over his political re-
mains, thu ere will be but few mourn
ers to weep for the departed
| believe that God will surely
raise up men who will not bow the
knee to Baal, but who will, in spite
of Seominge obstacles combat the
fiercest oppos: ton, and if they fall,
they will fall battling for the princi-
pies of truth and right.

NORWOOD, GA, DOMINATES
HON. HUGH DORSEY FOR
GOVEEHNOR
GOVERNOR.


Editor The Jeffers0nian.
Sir: There has been, and Will be,
many names Of illustrious Georgians
proposed for governor OF this COM
monwealth, men who have made
their names illustrioUs in Georgia
history, and whose patriotism is as
lofty as the mountain peaks and
character as pure as the snow that
rests upon their bosoms."
I have in mind now a gallant
young Georgian, whose character
and patriotism is the equal of any
in Georgia, and whose name is
household word in the Empire State.
From the mountains to the seab0ard,
the people solicit him, and in behalf
OF 80 per cent Of her people, l name
Hugh Dorsey, the imperial advocate
and the tribune Of the common peo-
pie as the next governor.
Yours truly,
It. e. MASSENGALE.

How would it be should he decide
to run against Senator Smith?

FROM AN ARDENT ADMTRER.

My Esteemed Friend: I have
read with interest each of your arti-
Giles on the Frank case in the JEFF
fersonian l desire to congratulate
and thank you for your bold stand
for justice.
You are also exposing Roman
Catholicism in all, of it's evils and
base doings; for which you deserve
the admiration and cooperation Of
every true American and loyal Chris
tian.

PRAISES THE JEFF FOR IT'S
CONSISTENT AND PERSIST
ENT WORK.

My Dear Sir: l thank you from
the depths of my soul for the great
service you are rendering in the in
terest Of justice, law and order, rela-
tive to the notorious Frank case.
The great bulk of the people be-
long to what is popularity called the
common people," and if that great
class ever had true, loyal, able and
efficient friend and helper, you are
doubtless due that proud d stinction
The points on which many of them
disagree with you, and oppose you,
are Of small Importance in COMPARE
sen with those on which you stand
as their friend and advocate.
With every one Of the great daily
papers Of Atlanta, apparently work
ing in Franks interest, ard surely
not from broad philanthropic mo-
tive, you have been and are the I'M
paid, consistent and persistent, and
heroic defender of murdered limo
cence.
The Weekly Jeffersonian has
thrown much light on 'tthe ways that
are dark of the overmuch praised
detectives; and by means Of that light
his 'tricks" which otherwise might
have been exceed ngly damaging to
righteous government, have been
made vain"
l believe the common people" of
Georgia, ought to, in meetings
assemb' ed, protest against the I'M
righteous methods of the "defense"
to subvert the ends of justice.
God forbid that I should do or
say anything to bring punishment to
the innocent; but if my mind had not
been made up before, the conduct of
Burns and his allies would have
gone far toward my reaching a con-
clusion as to the guilt of Leo NJ.
Frank. AS it is that conduct has
confirmed the conclusion, 1 had
reached.
The awful thing I fear is, that
they will go beyond the limit, in
what, to the ordinary mind, is def
ance of law; and wrath uncon-
trolable will show us horrible
things.
AGAIN. close as I began
thank you; heartily thank you for
the invaluable service you have
given to those who need sympathy
as we'll as to be susta ned in their
efforts to bring to justice the per-
petrator of one of the BLACKLIST
crimes in all the catalogue Of crimes.
The Lord spare you yet many days
to serve the people, whom you love
so we'll; for the service you render
to them simply cannot be performed
by a cold, Indifferent heart.
Very sincerely,
Georgia. A. B. VAUGHAN.

FRANK SKIES SAYS BURNS
OUGHT TO BE STRUNG UP.

Dear Mr.. Watson: Have just read
your last editorial as we'll as all of
them on the Frank case and GER
tainly congratulate you. l was IN
doubt about Franks guilt, but you
have made it so plain until now I
know he is one of the lowest muir
derers unhung, and Mr.. Watson tn at
ass of Burns ought to be strung
to limb right by Frank.
AS ever, your friend,

and the determination of the various
constitutional societies not Ia criticize
any tactics, which sought common

which to perfect their organization,
