THE eJEFFERS ONTAN

the daily papers of Augusta, Macon, and "a
vannah.
All these Democratic sheets were whooping
it up for the Republican, two years ago, de-
manding that he be given Hfe-iob on the
greatest CouYt,in the qc0r1d.
Is Mr. Howell supporting Taft this years
Nunk Is he supporting the man that Taft
is supporting? Nunk.
On the contrary, he and the other Taft sup
porters of two years ago are telling you that
it is your duty to avoid Taft, and to avoid
the candidate whom Taft supports
But if Howell and the other daily paper
editors could honorably support Taft two
years ago, why can't you honorably support,
this year, the candidate that Taft supports!
In other words, if it is the privilege of the
Georgia member of the National Democratic
Executive Committee to support Republican
qrhen he pzeoseS, why isn't it equally your
privilege to support Republican when y0u
please?
Is Clark Howell any better man that YOU?
Is he freer man than you?
And every one of these daily editors qrho
are n0ac cracking ochips Orer your heads for
Woodrow Wilson, were ust as rampant for
Taft as Clark Howell was.
DO they own the State! Do they own the
Democratic party? Do they o1cn YOU?(
Certain politicians in this State would like
for you to believe that the Democratic bosses
can dsfranchise you, if you don't act to suit
EN-.
Nearly every town has got its Ring and its
little Boss connected mblically with the At
lanta Ring and the Big Bosses.
These self-constituted Bosses want to make
people think that they get their right to vote,
from the Democratic party; and that, if you
bolt a Democratic nomination, you lose your
voting privilege.
That's all 60Sh t1~
You get your right to vote from the Con-
stltutiOn and the laws
You get it from the government from the
Sovereign State itself-you being one of the
s0cereigns, AND EQUAL no EVERY
OTHER
Just so long as you legally qualify yourself,
by the payment of taxes and registration. you
remain q vOter, UNDER THE LAT and not
under any party, whatever.
Seeing that the Peoples Party had had it's
back broken, 6yEhe Neqro, [ consulted with
Populist leaders at the Piedmont Hotel At
lanta, on September 1, 1904, and advised that,
IN my speech at the capitol that night, make
the Democrats the proposition, to th7oqO
P0pubaSt support to q Democratic nominee for
governor, running on platform pIedging us
to the Disappointment Of the Negro.
The gentlemen present in my room all
agreed with me; and, in my speech that night,
l made the proposition public
The speech as on record; and hundreds who
heard it, still live, and will corroborate nv
statement.
The consequence of the proposition was that
Pope Brown sent Sidney Tapp to my house
for a conference. He represented Brown and
we agreed on platform, upon which I was
to support Pope for governor

publican negro as he is now.
The Republican negro cannot be blamed for
accepting the office, but what about the
democratic white man who appointed him?
It is said that Alex. Lawrence of Savan-
nah is the author of the bill to exempt the
Steamships of the Central Railroad from tax
alton.
Lawrence is the State Senator who de-
Tended Bishop Kelley. after that rancorous
Roman prelate had befoued the Georgia
legislature and the Georgia people. because OF
the passage of the Veazey bill
Kelley went into all the Catholic papers of
the North and West vilifying the people of
this State as lynchers. illiterates, bigots, etc.
Please be sure to remember the proposed
Amendment to our Constitution.
Every time you vote to exempt corporation
taxes, y0U r0te to increase yO1A' 0arn.
Somebody has got to fill the State treasury,
In order that the regular expenses may be
met, in order that the Experiment Station
may have $4,000 year to waste, in order
that scores of place holders who don't work
may feast on salaries, and in order that the
State University may add to the number of
its receptive rat-holes and sand beds
Under the infamous Tax Inequality law
which the Northern corporations put over on
us, through the Atlanta Chamber of Com
merce, the pubc-service corporations shirk
and escape their share of taxation
Under the present system, the most profta-
bic properties pay the lowest taxes. while the
least profitable properties pay the highest
taxes.
One of the Northern corporations which
notoriously lodges equal taxation is the Cen
trail Railroad.
Like most of the others. it is what we
school-children used to call "a greedy gut"
and it is not satisfied with partial escape
from bearing its share of the States expenses.
y 1t demands total exemption, on its v0stzy
r01t0bze 0cean-gOi7g steamers.
1t has the hardihood to ask you to increase
y0ur t0res, by releasing theirs.
Be sure to vote "AGAINS7' that proposed
Amendment.
The official Georgia representative of
National Democracy, Civic Righteousness.
Consecrated Service, and Moral Uplift, is the
Hon. Clark Howell traditional member of
the National Democratic Executive Commit
tee.
If by any political cataclysm Clark Howell
should lose that proud, exalted, supremely
powerful position, / honestly believe that
something seismic would happen.
Fixed, radiant stars can't tumble from their
consultations without creating astronomical
disturbance.
One of those fixed, radiant orbs, in the
political consultations, is the Hon. Clark
Howell, and it makes me shudder to even
think of his falling from on high.
Yet, he most earnestly supported Ex-Presi-
dent Taft, two years ago, when that fat
Adonis of the gof-links wanted to be made
Associate Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court
Isn't Taft a Republican,? Such is my I'M
derstanding.
Isn't Howell Democrat? Such is the pre-

Where did WoodpiIe teach in Georgia?
Name the place!
In "Who's Who in American for 1916
1917, there is a full sketch of Woodpile. either
written or 0. KID by himself In noble array.
he marshals the thrilling events of his heroic
life. He slurs over his failure as a LAWYER
IN Atlanta, and leaps at once to his first
schooI-teaching job, at the Johns Hopkins.
Baltimore
He names all the still-born books of which
he claims paternity. There is formidable
catalogue of these dead books, which rest in
peace IN the cemetery of literature. In fact.
Professor Wilson can point with pride to an
extensive square" of his own, in the grave
yard where lifeless volumes are inferred.
But IN his sketch, he does not claim the
honor OF having taught school in Georgia
and it IS an honor of which, in nv case. [ am
proud.
Therefore, Brother John D. Walker has
been collecting ducats under false pretenses,
provided he has collected any, and cot the
dough from the teachers.
Why doesn't Brother John assess his banks,
and Williams banks, and the Regionals. and
the Chamber Of Commerce banks for his lit
tie $500?
In the advertisements which the Republi-
can and the Progressive brethren are firing at
one another in The JcferS0nian, you will find
that the name of Lincoln Johnson, the negro
politician is prominently mentioned.
You viii learn from the ad. that Lincoln
IS a person Of color and that he is a Repub-
lican.
In his case, / presume it would not be of
fensive to describe him as a dyed-in- the-wool
Republican.
Nevertheless, he is the Georgian who was
selected, before all othcr Gc0rgiaas, to be
President Woodrow Wilson's appointee for
Recorder OF Deeds in Washington City.
The office paid Lincoln $4,000 a year, be-
sides the ''perqueeaits."
Being chief of the Office in which scsores of
white women and girls, white men and boys

ing by copying deeds, etc Lincoln Johnson
was the Boss Of said white men and women;
and from him, the said Lincoln, the said white
