son colluded together to have the pa
per shut out from the mails-that the
postmaster at Savannah, appointed by
Hardwick and tool of his, was the
first postmaster to deny it transmits
sion through the mails, and that the
next one was Hardwick's postmaster
at Thomson-that Miller, Hardwick S
district attorney for the Southern
district of Georgia, bitterly prosecut-
ed him in the United States court. at
Augusta-that during his (Watson's s.
trial, Hardwick publicly stated that
he hoped he would be convicted, and
that he would like to see him hung
and CHARTERED, and didn't care d-n
what became of the pieces. That this
occurred last year, 1917. and what
Hardwick then said was published in
all the newspapers and given wide
publicity.
That the president does not run the
postofice department, which is under
the control of Burleson, and had no
connection with the exclusion of The
jeffersonian from the mails.
He said that it was Hardwick's po-
litical friends that attempted to as
sassinate Watson, and that he (Mc-
Gregor) got a private letter from a
personal and political friend of his in
an adjoining county, which he still
has, giving him notice of what was
going to be done, which he took ad-
vantage of to protect him against
the dam scoundrels"
He gave great many other very
interesting details of what was done
around Thomson during those peri
lous days, that were not published III
the newspapers.
After detailing all these various in
cidents he declared that he could rot
understand how any friend OF Wat
sons could vote for Hardwick, or be
induced to believe that Watson could
have so little self-respect as to do SO.
He also said that Mr.. Watson was
not, nor would not either take any
part in politics now, nor even DIS
cuss political questions, but was loyal
to his country, and that it would pain
him for his personal and political
friends so to act as to give indorse-
ment to the wrongs Hardwick has
done him.
The major is strong and interest
ing speaker. and what he said was an
eye-opener to many of the Watson
ties who heard him, and radically
| changed the views and purposes of a
number of them.

Major McGregor Assails Hardwick---
Says Tom Watson Is Not For Him
From Lawrencey;iic News Herald:

From Lawrencey;iic News Herald:
Major Charles E. McGregor, of
Wamenton, spoke here last Saturday
afternoon upon what he considers the
main issue of the campaign-the de-
feat Of Hardwick.
He did not speak in the interest of
any senatorial candidate, nor call
even the name of either, except that
of Hardwick.
He is speaking independently and
on his own initiative and for the sim
gle purpose OF repudiating the state
ment made by Hardwick that Thomas
f. Watson is supporting him, which
he vehemently denounced as untrue.
McGregor is Watson's closest, most
trusted, confidential, personal and po-
litical friend, and is always ready to
defend and protect him against any
wrong or injustice.
He said that Hardwick's attempt to
secure the support of Watson's
friends through such a base misrep-
resentation was doing him gross in
justice, and that these loyal friends
OF his (Watson's) would do him a
great wrong by going to the assist
ance of our junior senator, in that
such conduct on their part would be
direct Endorsement Of Hardwick's bit
ter denunciation and undetermined
wrongs done to him.
He said that it appears to him that
any man of ordinary common sense
with the most inflnitesinal knowledge
of human nature ought to know with
out being told that Watson would go
to the stake before voting for Hard
wick
He said that Watson and Hardwick
had never agreed upon only one ques-
ton, and that was that both opposed
the Conscript act-that Watson
thought it was unconstitutional and
tested the question before the SUI
premc court of the United States, and
that when that great tribunal decided
against his contention he bowed his
head to it's ruling, whereas Hardwick
kept up the fight for purely dema-
gogic and political purposes, know
ing that what had been done could
not be undone, now or hereafter
He said that Hardwick was direct
ly responsible for the suppression OF
The Jeffersonian by the postmaster
general-that Hardwick, Bankhead
of Alabama and Fletcher of Florida
were on the postoffice committee Of
the senate, and that they and Burle
