can Success, Says Hastings,

publicans and ex-Populists and Independ-
ents Of equal high character that want to be
able to express themselves politically with
freedom and have the opportunity to do SO
when and how they please.
Up to the present they have been largely
blocked bv this skeleton Republican organiza
ton SO often humorously described as the
Black and Tan" Republicans It has Stared
YOU in the face as it has me and thousands
who think as [ do, and the sight has not been
agreeable.
This skeleton Republican organization that
only polled some five thousand votes for
Taft in Georgia four years ago is all that's
left of the "negro domination" bug-a-boo, that
has held Georgia white people like a wise for
years to the Democratic ticket.
I don't know what our Democratic politi-
clan and office holding friends would do with
out this issue, for they seldom have others to
interest with. Its the only club they have
left to beat our people into submission to their
views and ambitions.
So far as Georgia is concerned this is more
than fight between Hughes and Wilson, 1t
is fight for an opportunity for political
freedom, freeing us from any fear OF the IN
fuence Of the negro in politics in Georgia.
IF the Progressive electors in Georgia re-
ceive a much larger vote on November 9TH
than do the electors on the 'bob-talled" Re
publican ticket put out by that faction known
as the jackson faction, it will automatically
give the Progressive Party of Georgia recog-
milton as the dominant anti Democratic force
in Georgia.
A decisive Progressive ticket victory in
Georgia over the Jackson Republican ticket
means the elimination absolutely Of the issue
of negro domination from politics in Georgia,
and those who have in the past artfully used
the negro as political factor to further their
own ambitions and to keep down competition
from white people for federal Offices None
knows this better than those responsible for
the Jackson ticket being in the field They
are desperate and fighting for their political
lives While none but white names are Oh the
ticket this deceives no one.
I would like to have a heart to heart talk
with few thousand of our good Georgia
folks who have been so betrayed during this
Administration on this sub ect of negro office
holding in positions where it is dlstasteful to
them. ne reason tnaC negroes nave Oeen Up
pointed to Federal offices in Georgia during
the past thirty years is the very fact that
white men have held off and allowed self
seeking politicians to manipulate negroes un-
der the name of Republicanism. Naturally
some plums have been in the course of events
dropped into negro hands for exactly the same
reason that President Wilson has appointed
negroes to high office, as pay for political
services rendered.
These appointments are made on the recon-
mendation of the heads of the State organi-
cations, exactly as appointments have been

The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1916-11-09
Roger A. Dewar,
Atlanta, Georgia.
Dear Mr.. Dewar:

lined up with the Progressives in Georgia
instead of with the old Republican organiza-
ton.
The reason may be we'll expressed by saying
that am rather particular as to the company
I keep, politically and otherwise.
Years ago l became convinced that the
varied and often contradictory policies and
paramount issues trotted out for us to vote
for every four years just because labeled
Democratic were largely neither democratic
in the true sense of the word nor for the best
interests of Georgia, the South or the Nation.
Not agreeing with the so-ca1led Democratic
policies on national affairs | began to look In
the other direction for an opportunity to ex-
press myself politically On these national
questions. In the way of an opposition party
| found nothing except a skeleton Republican
organization of motley hue that apparently
took little interest in either State or National
politics except for convention and office hold
ing purposes,
| have not been one of that sort of folks
who, while voting for the Democratic presi
dental candidate on election day every four
years, would 90 home and pray that there
would be enough Republican votes in States
where there is political freedom to elect the
Republican candidate.
In 1912 the opportunity came for the
organization and maintenance of an anti
Democratic party in Georgia., party that
no white man In Georgia or any other South
ern State need be ashamed to belong to or
affiliate with openly and above board.
I Joined the Progressive Party of Georgia
and voted for Roosevelt and Johnson In 1912,
and have no apologies to make to anybody for
doing it. I belong to it now, and shall vote
for Hughes and for Fairbanks on November
7th. I shall vote for them on the Progressive
ticket for Georgia I believe that the best in
terests of Georgia and the United States re-
uuire the elimination of Woodrow Wilson as
President.
Ny name is on the Progressive ticket as an
electOr at large. [ don't care a rap for that
however, for political preferment is no temp
tation to me- I do want to see, however, every
white man in Georgia who is opposed to the
reelection of Wilson vote the Progressive
ticket on November 7th.
There are two reasons for this. One IS that
I want to see every anti-Wilson conviction
recorded in the way of vote for the Progress
sive Hughes electoral ticket which is COM
posed only of white men of high character,
and the second is the overthrow of the So
called Republican organization which is the
chief obstacle to real political freedom in this
State.
There are honest and sincere Democrats Of
high character in Georgia who recognize the
nndesrabiltY and DANGER Of our present lOp-
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1916-11-09
Thursday, November 9, 1916.

or 100000, the electoral vote is the same.
In the event Of Mr.. Hughes election, qohlch
IS perfectly reasonable expectation, 1t does
make a mighty difference to all the eohate
people of Georgia, Democrats, PopuIlsts, Pro-
qressiues and Republicans as to q0h0 IS en-
control of the Democratic organization,
the men ac7to maniee the recommendations as to
qoho shall be appointed to federal offices.
The negro as a voting proposition has been
eliminated from the Georgia situation Tor
years There is absolutely no danger OF me
gro Nominations" and none knows this better
than the office seeking Democratic politician
who uses it as his stock in trade.
The only question that can arise is that OF
federal appointments of negroes, and 1t IS an
easy proposition to absolutely prevent this
as far as Georgia is concerned, by rolling up
a good big Progressive ticket vote here IN
Georgia on November 7th, for that carries
with it the control of the only effective anti
Democratic organization that stands abso-
lutely for clean politics in Georgia.
I believe the people of Georgia know me
fairly we'll and that I would not knowingly
mislead them in any matter, political or other
wise and [ consider this part of the situation
vital, more so this year than ever IN the past
or liable to be in the future.
Under existing political conditions our
people can have little to do with the changes
in the National Administration. They can
not say whether Democrat or Republican
shall be President, but they say by their
votes on November 18th whether the comblna-
ton back Of the jackson Republican ticket or
the men in charge of the Progressive ticket
shall control the anti Democratic organization
in Georgia and through it all federal appoint
ments In Georgia.
I sincerely hope and believe that Mr..
Hughes is going to be elected President next
Tuesday In all essential particulars he is a
true Progressive. His record as Governor OF
New York stamped him as a champion of
right, and he is a man whose record shows he
is no side-stepper, no evader OF issues as is
the present occupant of the White House.
Our people here in Georgia are unfortunate
in that they only have one side presented to
them through most of our daily and weekly
papers, There have things happened In
Washington during the past two years that
have shocked those of us who realize the true
import of them.
The real work, however, so far as Geor-
CLANS are concerned, at this time, is to roll up
big Progressive vote for Hughes and bury
forever the non-descript organization that
goes under the name of Republican in this
State.
Once that is buried, once the Progressive
organization again demonstrates it's numerical
superiority and full and complete recognition
of Progressive authority in Georgia matters
is established, then will the negro cease to be
factor, either real or imaginary in Georgia
politics. For this last alone every Georgia
Democrat, other than those holding or expect
ing Office, could we'll afford to vote the Pro-
gressive ticket this time
Yours truly,
H. G.. HASTINGS.

Secretary Rubien Makes Statement-Many Events
 for the Coming Year

New York, December 30.-An active year in sports under the Jurisdiction of the Amateur Athletic union is fore cast for 1917 in a statement issued here today by F. W. Rubien, secre- tary-treasurer of the organization.
 "The various district associations re- port an increase in the number of fn- door meets scheduled for competition will result" MT. Rubien said. "The in- door national championships take place in New York March IT and the best athletes in the country will compete The outdoor national championship all round championship and relay cham pionships will take place in St. Louis in September and increased interest in that section of the country is looked for. St. Louis plans to make these championships the equal of any held heretofore and owing to it's cen tral location it will be possible for athletes from any part of the country to take the trip in few days.
 International boxing will take place as a result of an invitation from the Scandinavian countries.
 "rhe small team of track athletics consisting of Meredith. Loomis, Simp- son, Murray and Ward made a very favorable impression abroad and an- other team will be sent to represent America this summer if it Is found impossible for the Scandinavian ath- letes to leave their countries on ac- count of military duty"
