Inov .t-basing my statement an t'Ie
,eulIt 4 the election held there the
Mn day OF this month.
And gluge the state has nominated
,nen,y OF the democratic party, for
,he Hon Tom Watson, the arch
United states senator, the questioE IS
now often asked, will the state cast
ms vote iu November for Mr.. Hard
me-" To answer that question It
IA necessary to analyze the political
situation that now exists in that
state. Tho condition is about as
follows:
The democratic party in its state
convention Just prior to the national
6emocrauo convention repudiated
the Wilson administration. In the
preferential presidential election held
IN Georgia last spring. Hoko smith,
i At present United states Senator ana
4
4 smith stood for a League Of Nations
with reservations. Mr.. Watson was
4 sgans. the League, with or without
4 Tes,ryat!ors. What was the result
Thf Smith and Watson vote was
oyerwhelrhing. Notwithstanding
mai fact. the national democratic
convention, controlled by the Wilson
sAmistration, seated in the contest
4 tbe Palmer, OF rather the Wilson ad-
ministration delegates. Watson was
llcped out of the convention.
Ho went back home hating the
democratic marty with a greater hat
red than ever He has for the last
thirty years hated and fought the
democratic party He is not for the
democratic party now. The primary
lust closed in Georgia In which can
didatcs for United States senator,
governor in this years primary ana
nominated, was not democratic
primary as we have In OK ahoma'
Il was a white primary"
Tom uar,yick. ex- United States
senator whom President Wilson re-
oucs'e1 the state OF Georgia not TO
>efYrn Ia the senate in the primary
election in the spring Of 1918, charg-
iuc that he was ohstruc'ing the ad-
ministratlon and all things pertaining
was dcfoated) was q candidate Tor
governor In this years primory ana
openly and vigorously denounced ihe
League OF Nalions, the Wilson ad-
ministhation and ali thing pertalnlns
,bero'o For United States Senator
/ ,be ,rogent governor was the wilson
,dministratinn candidate, standing
for thc League CT Nations without
reservations. HoSc smith present
senator, stood for the league OF ma
4 lions Tom Watsons slogan was
To hell with wilson and his League
N Nations" Results: Mr.. watson
carried 102 counties giving MN ~.
tbe convention 247 votes. Governor
1 norso,, No administration and ma
4 cbire candidate carried 3S counlea
giving him 1913 convention votes
1 senator. smith carried only IA couh
los Tho popular vote stood wat
SON 1OS.32S. Dorsey 6S,5S5' ana
smith 5B,7I2. Had Smith been o9I
OF the race IL is logical that hls
league reservation votes would ho'
have gone TO Dorsey 90, .. aha
Nov, Won may ask, aid not the
mntnetic personality OF Mr.. WATSON
ac(bunt for his strength. by no
means | know well cacn OF theI'
Dorsey would have been elected nae
that been the test. Watson Is aoIe
yindictive, radical and belhEorSnA
Smith Is able. With the eNcepu9L
Of that giant OF intellect. BonJau,,i'
