The People just couldn't stand for that
and they used their pen, to write DEATH for
the convicted jew
Tho law of Georgia says that when
defendants guilt is ascertained by a quail
fed jury, and the verdict is approved by our
Supreme Court, the question of guilt is res
odjudicatG.
The question Of guilt, is settled.
There is no law in Georgia which gives to
the Prison Commission, or to the Governor,
the authority to 90 behind the cerdict-
none whatever!
When a Prison Commission, and Cover
nor, undertake to say that the verdict was
wrong, and that the Supreme Court erred In
not granting a neao trial, USURPATION
takes the place of lawful authority, and
there IS chaos IN our system.
The province of Executive Clemency is to
mitigate the punishment of judicially ascer-
tanned guilt, because of some circumstance
apparent of record, or provable outside,
which shows that the rigor of the Law
should be moderated.
OF course, where newly discovered evil
dence, never passed on by the courts, and
time to use in court, the rule relaxes
But such newly discovered evidence should
be received with extreme caution, should be
SO material that it would have caused YER
dict of acquittal, and the failure to discover
it sooner, must not be the fault of the de-
PENDANT
No such new evidence was ever presented
In the Frank case.
The courts passed on all that Szaton
passed on.
They did not ride up and down the ele-
vator at the pencil factory, as Slaton sapi-
emily did; but they unanimously decided
that there was no merit in the alleged newly
discovered evidence.
Solicitor Dorsey's COMMISSIONING on it,
knocked it to pieces, and made Franks guilt
more manifest than ever.
Slaton has denounced the execution of
Frank, declared that every one of the Vigi-
lantes "8houzd be hanged dozen times, if it
were possible" and said finally, Il will visit
Honolulu before [ return"
So, he won't be back to resume the prac-
tise of law with his dear Rosser "by the
middle Of September
In San Francisco, where Mayor jim
Woodward warned Slaton to keep out of
Georgia, the traitor said he would be back
by the middle of this month.
In Los Angeles, on the 28th of August, he
remembered that he had to go to the
Hawaiian Islands first
Maybe, when he reaches Honolulu, he will
think Of Rangoon and take the road to
"Mandelay, where the sun comes up like
thunder, from China across the Bay
It might seriously impair his health, if he
were to return to Georgia.

the Frank Case
On the Road TO Mandalay.

fornla, there is a glowing account of the
"honors' being pald to Rosser's travelling
and garrulous partner, John NJ Slaton.
Among other things Rossers perambulat-
ing department said:
There is some idea that l overruled the SUI
preme Court decision in the case, that [ nullifed
court proceeding that yielded to influence of
some sort, and all manner of presumptions against
me have been asserted.
Now the facts these:
'Our Supreme Court never passed on nor at
tempted to pass the evidence to go any
further than to decide that Frank had been tried
according to law
II did not nullify court decision but carried
out my duty Governor according to the pro-
visions of law for just such instances
If Slaton were a German diplomat, he
might win admiration from Bernsdorf.
Boy-Ed, Jagow, and Bethman- Hollweg, as a
prolific and unmitigated liar.
Any one who cares to know the truth, can
secure copy Of the 141st volume of Geor-
gias Reports, find the lengthy opinion in
the Frank case and read the Goth head note
The Supreme Courts language is that
"We have given careful consideration to the
evidence, and find 1t sufficient" (See page
284 of the decision.
Yet, Slaton says, repeatedly and brazenly,
that the Supreme Court never even sat
tempted to pass on the evidence"
The decision was rendered few yards
from his office in the Capitol building: the
141st volume of Georgia Reports had long
been published before he committed his
clients sentence.
lie could not hare been ignorant of the
decision.
He knew that the Court did pass on the
evidence.
He knew that the Court did find the evil
dence E'suficient to support the verdict" and
SO stated in the decision.
Nevertheless, he takes it for granted that
the great American public will never doubt
his audacious assertion, will never discover
his falsehood, will never learn that the SUI
preme Court weighed the evidence, and
found it sufficient, and will never know that
he did annul the Supreme Court decision to
free his 0ac1s client!
II did not nullify court decision, but
carried out my duty as Governor according
to the provisions of the law for just such
instances"
Just twelve months before he acted as
jury and Judge for his own client, Governor
Slaton had declared that the response
bility for a verdict was placed by law on
the jury, and not on the Governor.
Just twelve months before he acted as
judge and jury for his client, Slaton
declared that he had no such power under
the law; and he sternly refused to heed the
1000 Hall County citizens, who endeaVored
to save the 17-year-old boy, Bart Cantrell;
he deafened his ears to the pleas in behalf
of Nick Wilburn, of Jones County; and he
refused to show any mercy to the old North
Georgia tenant, Umphrey, who was con-
victed solely on circucmstantial evidence
But in the Frank case, where unlimited
Jew money had set itself to save a legally
convicted degenerate, John NJ Slaton found
a new law, and receptive ear for popular
clamor;" and the same pen that wrote Death,

Farmer as 10 How He was
Treated Last Fall.
IF you will consult the reports of the
Comptroller OF the Currency, you will
find that tho United States Government
ISSUED $440,0OO000 of new money to the New
York banks between the dates of August /,
1914 and October II, 1914
This new money was zOn7cd by the Gov
eminent to the Wall Street banks at 3 per
cent interest.
This new money bought up your cotton,
at $50 bale.
You had to sell, because your creditors
were pushing you, and the Government re-
fused to lend you dollar.
on sold because you couldn't hold.
The gamblers could buy, because the Gov
eminent had given them the money to buy
with.
Had the Government promised to finance
a huge cotton gamble?
It had not, but it did so.
Had any promise been made to the
Farmer?
There had been, and both the old parties
were pledged to about the same thing. to-wit,
Rural Credits
In the Baltimore platform of the Demo-
cratic party, the pledge appears IS follows:
RuFal CFeOItS.
Of equal Importance with the question of cur
rency reform is the question of rural credits or
agricultural finance. Therefore, recommend
that investigation of agricultural credit SO eie
ties in foreign countries be made, that it may
be ascertained whether a system of rural credits
may be devised suitable to conditions in the
United States.
The same Democratic platform which
promised the farmers a Rural Credit sys-
tenn, declared that 1--WE oppose the so-called
Aldrich bill"
Yet the so-called Aldrich bill was enacted
into law by the Wilson Democrats, and Va
son himself cOmbatted and killed RuyI
Credits;
The Rural Credit systems of Europe arere
investigated by Federal Commission, and
this Commission recommended the adoption
Of the principle in this country.
Bills were prepared and offered in Con-
gress, but the President resolutely opposed
any legislation Of that sort.
He was determined that the Jew-made
Money Trust should rule the country, and
he even placed recently imported German
jew, Paul Warburg, at the head of the
Trust.
All men must bow to this new Money
System, and all men must 90 to it for
loans.
The Farmers shall not have an indepen-
dent and national loan fund.- created by the
Government; although the Baltimore plat
form of 1912 promised it.
Public money shall not only finance vast
cotton gamble, but public credit will back
an insurance policy of $40 bale, for the
very cotton that the Government enabled
the gambler to buy at $50.
Probably we will be able to remember
this, next year.
