attaoklng Mr. Watsons candidacy for
Prealdent and were exposing the pur
pose* and motives back of It.
But, notwithstanding your vigorous
speech In behalf of Democracy and
against Populism, 23,000 Populists In
this state voted for Mr. Watson for
President in 1904, and It la commonly
reported, and not denied, that many of
these 23,000 voterB had previously
voted In the Democratic primaries
which selected the delegates to the
state Democratic convention, where
the delegates were elected who nomin
ated Judge Parker. They probably
were misled by the uncertainty of the
party regulations.
Of course the Democrats who voted
In the primaries two years ago, and
Who loyally supported the. party nomi
nees, state and national, are already
organised Democrats, regardless of
their previous affiliation, for they have
proven their laith by their works.
They have no prejudices against, the
Democratic party. The word "Democ
racy" does not give them offense. They
have again become part and parcel
of the Democratic hosts In Georgia.
They do not believe that the Demo
cratic party, its organization, or Its
state officials are corrupt. They do
not spoak contemptuously nor abusive
ly of Democratic tradttolns, officials
and more than thirty years of state
Democratic administration. They do
not abuse Grover Cleveland, who hon
ored you with a seat in his cabinet,
though many of them voted against
him for President In 1892. There was
no necessity to extend an Invitation to
these Democrats, though they were
formerly Populists, to vote In n Demo
cratic primary, for they are already
members of the Democratic household,
and the committee was their steward,
arranging for their primary.
There was no necessity for provid
ing any test for this class of voters,
Jor they had Joined the Democratic
family in godd faith, bringing no Pop
ulistic prejudices with them, and even
the Prince of Pounllsm himself could
not mako them desert their party, nor
Induce them to support Its trnduccrs.
But the committee thought that as
there was no good reason tor the con
tinued existence of the Populist party,
either state or national, the 23.000
Populists in Georgia who voted against
the Democratic candidate for Presi
dent in 1901, should be invited to come
back into the Democratic party, and,
accordingly, the invitation was extend
ed. But we wanted them to come back
as Democrats and not as Populists, or
factlonists, for otherwise, the evils re
sulting from partisan bitterness and
prejudice, so much deplored, will not
be eradicated. And, If they are to re
main Populists and not become Dem
ocrats, they will do more harm to
Democracy inside the party by sup
porting Us traducers than they can
outside by opposing its nominees; and
when this is their attitude, the Invi
tation Is not extended to them, and
they can not, In good falh, or with
Belf-respect, accept it. We accord to
the 23,000 Populists, who are invited
to join the Democratic party, the same
high sense of honor and self-respect
which we claim tor Democrats and
when we extended the Invitation to
them to vote a ballot with a clear and
unequivocal declaration thereon as to
the meaning of their action In voting
it, no honest voter can tike offense,
and every honest man will appreciate
our Democratic candor. Had the State
Democratic Executive Committee been
as explicit two year* ago, we would
not have had the mortifying spectacle
of Populist* voting In a Democratic
primary, and then voting against the
Democratic nominee for President in
the general election. Doubless If the
committee had foreseen the contin
gency which happened, they would
have provide*) against it
In most states where there are laws
governnlng party primaries, voting
with the party in the prevloi^i general
election I* made a condition precedent
to voting In its primary. As we have
no law on the subject in Georgia, the
committee did not see St to adopt this
rule, but decided rather to rely upon
the pledge of good faith required in
the rules and on the ballot. And we
believe that those who accept it will
Jo so In god faith, and when they
come Into the party will come back as
Democrats and not as Populists or
factlonists; that they will leave all
prejudice against Democracy behind
and will not endeavor to weaken or
destroy the party by supporting Its
traducers; and that all our people will
again be united In deed as well as In
name.
Our hopes have, In a measure, been
justified, for already Populist leaders
are advising the members of their
party to join the Democracy. These
leaders have taken no offense at the
Democratic rules, then why should a
Democrat be sensitive on tne subject?
None of the other candidates seeking
nomination for office at the hands of
the Democratic party in this state
have seen fit to criticise the action
of the committee. You are the only
discordant Democrat element in the
situation.
The foregoing discussion may seem
academic to you, but your present at
titude towards your party, from which
you are seeking the nomination for
the highest office in the state, is so
unusual and inconsistent that it calls
for some explanation and declaration
of your motives.
Your past record as a Democrat, so
far as I know, Is unimpeachable. You
have repeatedly stood In the front
ranks of Democracy, holding aloft Its
unstained banner, and lighting its bat
tles with undaunted courage. You
supported Mr. Bryan, the party nomi-
ness for President In 1396 and 1900,
though his views and the party plat
form In these two campaigns on the
money question were directly opposed
to the views you had Inherited from
Mr. Cleveland’s cabinet. Two years
ago, your Invincible logic and power
ful Invectives were fired at the ene
mies of Democracy all the way from
New England to Georgia; and never
was It heard to better effect nor In
spired greater enthusiasm than In Au
gusta, two years ago, just before the
national election, when, upon the Invi
tation of the Young Men’s Democratic
Club, you came to our fair city, and
in an address to six or seven hundred
people, told us why Mr. Watson was
running for President, and expounded
the great and glorious mission of the
Democratic party. It is sufficient com
ment on this speech to say that the
most partisan Democrat present was
entirely, satisfied with your denuncia
tion of the enemies and traducers of
the party, and with your defense of
the party, both state and national.
There was no taint on Democracy
then. Its principles were fearlessly
declared, and Its unbroken traditions
nobly defended. No man present need
have blushed to have openly declared
In your presence that he was an or
ganized Democrat, and would support
organized Democracy, both state and
national. And no man In that pres
ence would have dared to declare our
state Democracy was corrupt, or that
the party organization was composed
of political tricksters or Jugglers.
Your past record of party loyalty
adds to the unseemliness of your pres
ent attitude towards your party.
Do you think that by repeatedly and
publicly attacking your party, charg
ing Its officials with incompetence and
corruption, and the official represents*
tlves of Its organization with unfair-
nets, unfaithfulness and petty political
jugglery, you are aiding the efforts of
the executive committee to bring back
to the fold the 23,000 Populists who
voted for Mr. Watson in 1904?
If they believe your present esti
mate of the party, will that be a po
tent argument to bring them back to
a political party reeking with corrup
tion?
It they come back on the strength
of your argument, and not upon the
Invitation of the executive committee,
will they come back as loyal Demo
crats, or as factlonists for the pur
pose of helping to destroy -the party
which you are denouncing?
Are you not seeking* by your tnvec-
r
tive against the Democratic party and
its organization to obtain for yourself
in a Democratic primary the votes of
the 23,000 Populists who supported Mr.
Watson for President two years ago?
Is It not your hope and purpose to ac
complish this result by arousing, in
creasing and perpetuat’hg their prej
udice against organized Democracy?
Is not this the reason why you now
ridicule instead of ’/raise, abuse In
stead of laud, crltltoe Instead of com
mend, the Democratic party, its offi
cers, policies and organization? Have
you not leveled your plan and scheme
to secure the 23,000 votes on a plane
far below the honesty, Intelligence and
temper of them men? If theV believe
what you say. Is It not apt to keep
them from coming Into a corrupt B<*u-
ocratlo party? If they come back in
to the party In good faith, as Demo
crats, leaving their party prejudices
behind, will they be apt, as the first
act of a loyal Democrat, .to vote for a
man who seeks to bring his party Into
disrepute? No one has the .right to
object to your changing your estimate
of Mr. Watson and his political doc
trines, for your political convictions
are your own, and you have the right
to surrender them or to change them
as often and as suddenly as you
uleas", but when you see fit to laud
Mr. Watson when canvassing for a
Democratic nomination, and In the
same speech to denounce and ridicule
prominent Democrats for the purpose
of securing 23,000 Populist votes In a
Democratic primary, haven’t you pass
ed the limits of a decent propriety In
the change of convictions?
If you succeed In getting these 23,-
000 votes by abusing your party and
perpetuating the former partisan bit
terness among our people, who should
be reunited In the Democratic party,
will their votes be worth to you the
price you are making the people of
Georgia pay for It?
Yours truly,
