position on the part of the old Pops to vote
the Bull thing ticket.
Again, Roosevelt’s position on the Negro
Question in the South, strikes a deep chord.
He adopts the principle which such men as
Tillman, Vardaman and I have' advocated
for many years.
It puts the other candidates “up against
it, so far *as. the Southern States are
concerned.

As to Wilson, I have been warned by his
Georgia organ to keep off the grass.
The Atlanta Journal bitterly denounced
me after I had made the first speech for
Wilson in this State.
The Atlanta Journal’s “chief owner”—«
according to Jack Cohen—is Mr. James R<
Gray.
Mr. J. R. G. is the man who livss in luxury
and rides around in an automobile.
Mr. J. R. G. is the man who went into
bankruptcy some three years ago.
Mr. James R. Gray swore that his only
earthly possessons were a watch and a
shot-gun.
Which shows that the Lord had not, at
that time, blessed him much, in the way of
this world’s goods.
A watch and a shot-gun are good things in
their way, but as an estate, they don’t look
promising to hungry creditors—and Mr.
Gray had many creditors who were very
hungry, indeed.
Nevertheless, Mr. James R. Gray resolved
within his honest heart that he would take
unto himself all the favors allowed by the
mercy of the law.
So he took out a “pony homestead” on the
watch and scatter gun, and thus kept them in
the family.
