The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1915-02-04
ANOTHER WHOOP FROM OUR
TEXAS COW-PUNCHER.

DO1A Ia I1SI0 COMES the Ola
Nexas Cow Puncher again. I didn't
think that I would write any more,
as | was afraid that I might take up
some space in the Jeffersonian that
could be used for a better purpose,
but after reading the last issue of
line JetfersOnian, I couldn't resist
saying few words. After reading
the evidence and the proceedings in
general of the Leo Frank case, it
made my blood broil to read it. The
curry and the judge deserve great
credit in the stand that they have
taken in this case. l don't see how
any man with any principle and
brains enough to grease a gimlet,
but what would know that Leo Frank
is guilty Of one of the most brutal
crimes ever committed, and beyond
any doubt, he is the man who MUIR
dered and outraged the little girl.
No punishment could be too severe.
while there are some good people
who haven't acquainted themselves
with the evidence that don't believe
Frank is guilty. I have a neighbor,
who is mighty good man and be-
leves and wants to do the right
thing; I was talking to him yesterday
an regard to the Frank case, and he
stated that from what he had seen
IN our local paper that he didn't
much believe Frank was guilty. I
asked him would he read The Jeffer-
sonian. [ gave him last weeks issue
and told him to go home, sit down
quietly and read it, and when he got
through to report. He did, and pretty
soon he came back with his blood
boiling as bad or worse than mine.
If Frank goes unpublished, or gets
off with life term in the pen, it
will not be worth while to have a
law. Brother Watson, I want you
to answer one question if you can
and will. What is the difference in
the Leo Frank crime than the parties
who are trying SO hard to get him out
OF 1t? 1t seems as though there are
a class of lawyers and bankers,
priests, commercial clubs, etc., who
have control of the pump handle
altogether, and just so long as the
middle class of people vote for office
seekers, SO long we will have this
trouble and worse
Mr.. Reader, stay away from the
primaries. Have your school house
meetings at the proper time and put
out good man for different offices;
man that the Office seeks, not an
office seeker. The chronic office
seeker knows you are a good boy and
ne will run across the street to shake
hands with you before he is elected.
After he is elected he won't speak to
you on the street. The writer has
had quite an experience in these pri-
maries and will not attempt to ex-
plain the rotteness there is in them
and what use there is in putting the
county and State to the expense and
trouble of electing a man one time.
So III appeal to you to stay away
from the primaries.
| am regular reader of The JEFF
fersonian, and I note the trouble and
worry the people are having and the
dissatisfaction with some of the high
up officers. We have just unIoaded
one Of our high-up officers, similar
to yours; the only difference I can
see Of the two is the name. You call
yours Hog-Eye, and ours is Petro-
leum Joe. I suppose you have no.
ticed the write up which our present
Governor gave the present admins
tratiOn. l said amen to every word
of it.
Mr.. Reader, are you old enough to
vote? If so, are you a Democrat?
Yes. Allow me to ask you a few
questions. Do you know why you
are a Democrat? Because your
father was a Democrat Your father
