Lewis Nominated
By Acclamation
As Candidate of Democracy From
Third District
BY CONVENTION IN LEESBURG.
Session Yesterday a Most Harmonious One. Mr.
Lewis Makes Address. New Executive
Committee Elected.
The democratic convention of the I
Third congressional district, in session
at Leesburg yesterday, again nomin
ated Hou. Elijah B. Lewis as the stan
dard bearer of Democracy to succeed
himself in congress. The nomination
was by acclamation and made unani
mous, and loud and long applause
greeted the able young representative
of the Third district as he tendered his
thanks to the convention for this re
newed expression of confidence and
esteem.
The meeting was opened with prayer
by Rev. Cntts, after which District
Chairman Collins, of Schley, briefly
stated the object for which the conven
tion had assembled.
Hon. R. B. Davis, of Dooly county,
was made temporary chairman, while
Messrs. Leon C. Greer, of Oglethorpe
and R. S. Burton, of Cordele, were
elected permanent secretaries. Hon.
J. M. Collum, oi Schley, was after
wards elected permanent chairman, his i
fEST ,/zWWiI
HON. ELIJAH B. LEWIS
brief but patriotic address upon taking
the chair eliciting much applause.
The roll call of counties showed more
than a quorum present.
Chairman Collum then appointed a
committee upon platform, consisting
of Messrs, W. M. Anderson of Pu
laski, Paris of Crawford, Rayof|Sum
ter, McCrory of Twiggs and Hodge, of
Houston, Following is the platform
submitted and adopted unanimously
by the convention.
We, the representatives of the Demo
cratic party of the Third congressional
district of Georgia, in convention as
sembled, do hereby reaffirm our adher
ence to those principles of liberty, jus
tice and right which have ever animat
ed the Democratic party, and which
have been more fully enunciated in the
platform adopted by our recent btate
convention, and by the Democratic
National Convention held last week in
Kansas City, which has our heartiest
approval and endorsement.
We hereby express our gratification
at the action of the Kansas City con
vention in unanimously nominating
that tribune of the people, Hon. W. J.
Bryan for President, and in the se
lection of Hon. Adlai E, Steyer Sju for
second place on our national ticket, and
confidently predict their election by
the people in November.
We demand the repeal of the ob
noxious stamp taxes imposed by the
War Revenue Act, unjustly retained
by the Republican administration long
after the necessity which called them
into existence has passed away; and
we most heartily approve the diligent
efforts of our immediate representative
in Congress, Hon. E, B Lewis, to se
cure their removal.
We favor the repeal of the ten per
cent, tax on the circulation of State
banks of issue, feeling that the same
will aid in bringing prosperity to our
people, and take from national banks
the entire control of our currency.
We congratulate the Third congres
sional district of Georgia upon the as
surance of again being represented in
congress of the United States by that
sterling democrat, able statesman, and
faithful friend of the people, the Hon.
E. B. Lewis, who has ever been true
to his party, his country and his dis
trict. We feel a j’~st pride in his most
excellent record in congress, which we
most heartily endorse and approve. In
him we have a representative who will
ever securely guard our rights and ef
ficiently promote our interests.
The wise, patriotic and Democratic
administration of our chief executive,
Governor Allen D. Candler, and each
of our State House officers also, has
our cordial commendation, and we con
gratulate the State of Georgia upon
their unraimous nomination for an-
other term in their respective offices.
Confident of the correctness of the
principles of our party, we submit our
platform and ort* candidate to the vo
ters of the Third congressional district
and earnestly appeal to them to unite
with us in our fight against our com
mon enemy, the Republican party.
We call upon every friend of free gov
ernment to aid us in restoring the prin
ciples of liberty and freedom, from
which our government has been per
verted by the Republican party for the
benefit of trusts and combinations and
to assist us to check the reckless ex
travagance which has ever character
ized the Republican party when in
power.
Chairman Collins then announced
that nominations were in order.
Hon. J. M. Dupree, of Macon coun
ty. in a ringing speech of five minutes,
presented the name of Hon. E. B.
Lewis, at the same time congratulat
the convention upon the harmony pre
vailing in the ranks of democracy and
predicting a sweeping victory for the
party at the polls in November.
Hon. J. R. Williams, of Sumter,
withdrew the name of Judge Allen j
Fort as a candidate, and in a patriotic
and eloquent address asked that the '
nomination of Mr. Lewis be made '
unanimous, and by acclamation. Loud
applause greeted Mr. Williams’ speech, i
which was increased as the conyention,
by acclamation, again placed Mr.
at the front as Democracy’s
standard bearer and the representa- 1
tlve in congress from the Third dis
trict.
Upon being notified of his nomina
tion and escorted to the platform by a
committee consisting of Messrs. Du
pree, Williams, Spann, Winchester
and Burton, Mr. Lewis spoke at length
as follows;
Mr, Chairman and Members of the
Convention:
I am delighted to see so many demo
crats of the district present today, and
I must congratulate Lee county and
Leesburg on having in its midst this
splendid body of patriotic, uncompro
mising, true, noble and brave demo
crats.
I am forcibly impressed by your
presence as well as all other assem
blages of democrats, their fidelity to
party and the sacrifices they make.
You have left your homes, your busi
ness and your private affairs that you
may come here and perform the duties
encumbered upon you by your party
demands, but it is a noble privilege of
every democrat to serve his party’s call.
The democratic party is not a new
one, or ia it one of experiment, but one
ripe with age and experience of more
than a century. Our fathers and grand
fathers and many of their ancestors
have supported its principles, daring
which time the party has had its victo
ries and its defeats. We have seen the
virtue of our party and thereby learned
to love and cherish it. We know that
it is the party of the people, and at this
very moment I fully believe that a
great majority of the American people
confide in and believe that we can se
cure the strongest, the wisest and pur
est government through the principle
of the great and ever living democratic
party. Democrats, under the present
repub'ican administration, this dear
old government which has always
stood for liberty, independence and
good government, has been . rapidly
shifting its moorings and drifting i
away from these broad principles that,
are so dear to our hearts. And while I
we are threatened with tbe growing
danger of imperialism, militarism and
foreign entanglements, we can with
pride say to the American people that 1
this great danger can be overcome; ,
yes, overthrown only through the
great and glorious old democratic
party.
This country is now entering into a
great political campaign, the two great
national political parties have just held .
their conventions, set forth their plat
form and principles and nominated
their candidates and the great con test
is now on. Neither convention, plat
form or its candidates surprised us be
cause the people generally anticipated
the results.
The republican platform is full of in
sincere promises, and clouded with '
evasions from beginning to its close.
Their plank against trusts is not an
open, clear statement, and any declar
ation against trusts by them comes ;
with great insincerity. Trusts are
largely the outgrowth of a republican ,
tariff.
They declare for an Isthmian canal;
also statehood for the territories of
New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma.
Tney say that it is how time that the
war taxes were repealed. This shows
one of two things; that the republican
party is the boldest of hypocrites or is
ihe most brazen of cowards; this all in
the face of the fact that the republican )
party has had full control of the gov
ernment for the last four years, the
president and both bodies of congress.
At each session there has been a bill
for the building of the Nicaragua canal
before congress, while representatives '
of these people of the territories have
thronged the capital of this country fcr
the same length of time begging the '
republican party to give them their '
much needed state rights.
A bill was before congress asking tbe '
repeal of the infamous war tax, backed
by the statement from the secretary of ■
the treasury telling the president and
congress that the excess for revenue .
was growing rapidly and had accumu
lated to the extent of some eighty
million dollars within the last twelve
months.
Now the fifty-fifth and fifty-sixth '
congress have had eyery opportunity
and full power to give the country this j
needful legislation when they have '
been besieged to do so, and yet in the
face of all these opportunities they go
before the country and promise these
things for political gain.
Can they be sincere about tiusts
when nine-tenths of them have sprung •
up within the last three or four years
under President McKinley’s adminis
tration, when the republican party is
not only the parents of the trusts, but
are the offspring as well, inheriting ffs 1
political fortunes and its power from ;
these identical trusts. Just before the
adjournment of congress and some two *
weeks before their national convention 1
the republican party in the lower house
did pass a trust bill, but it was a sham.
This bill only passed the house meet- ,
ing its death in the senate just as the .
republicans had intended it. It was .
only done for political bait thrown out .
to the people, while on the other hand i
the owners of the trusts smiled and ;
planned for still stronger combinations
and more power in the future.
The republican party will largely go
before the country proclaiming McKin
ley and prosperity. We are all delight- ;
ed to see prosperity, but what right
has McKinley to claim credit for it?
They point to two acts of legislation
that produced this prosperity, . the '
Dingley protective tariff and a law
making go d a standard of value. Let 1
us see how these gave us prosperity:
Now prosperity came seyeral years
ago, when the law making gold the
standard money was only enacted this 1
year; in other words we had prosperity 1
before this act was passed, consequent
ly their claim is not justifiable They '
claim that the Dingley tariff made the '
country prosperous; that is not justifia
ble for it is not the imports or increase
of imports that has come with 1
prosperity, for imports have not
increased, but it is the great in
crease of our foreign exports that has
been largely the cause of our prosperi
ty. Our exports for this country has
grown immensely; we have shipped
more manufactured merchandise than
ever known in the history of this coun
try. Then we owe our prosperity
largely to our foreign customers and
not protection to the American manu
facturer.
Did the single gold standard or the
protective tariff bring prosperity to tbe
cotton grower in 1898 when they sold
their cotton for 4] and 5| cents per
pound? Did it cause the southern
farmer to get a good price in 1899?
They sold their early cotton for five
cents per pound. Then it was thought
that a crop of from eleven to twelve
million bales would be made, but later
on when it was ascertained that the
crop was a poor one and only from nine
to nine and a quarter million would
be made then it began to advance until
today it is worth 9| cents per pound.
Now if it had not been for the short
crop last year would McKinley and the
republican party have raised the price?
I tell you no. Did McKinley cause the
western farmers wheat to advance 20
cents per bushel within the last thirty
days? No. it was the great drought
and great heat in the Dakota’s, Minne
sota and the northwest. Did McKin
ley cause wheat to advance in 1897
when it ran from 60 cents to SI.OO per
bushel? No, it was the great drought
and failure of a large portion of tbe
Europaon wheat country. Then what
has McKinley done for the southern
cotton grower and the western wheat
grower? The answer is “nothing.”
Did McKinley give us this great for
eign trade for our manufactured cotton
goods and other manufactured goods?
Certainly not, but it comes from the
enterprise of our manufacturers .who
are more progressive and are now fight
ing the way meeting ail foreign compe
tition and finding a market for our
goods in all parts of the civilized world.
This great foreign trade or export
trade indicates that the time for a pro
tective tariff has long since passed, and
that instead of our manufacturers need
ing protection here they are able to at
tract trade from every foreign nation.
The only effect a protective tariff can
have is to foster combinations, fill the
pockets of the manufacturer at the ex
pense of the consumer in the United
States or at home. Therefore, I say that
instead of McKinley and the republi
can party giving- prosperity to the
country they have followed in the wave
of prosperity. There can be only one
class that the republican party has
given prosperity to, and that is the
trusts which they fully protect. They
protect the trusts against all foreigners
but turn him loose with a certificate
of complete power to jump on every
American consumer, to crush him and
bleed him to death that they may sat
isfy their greed.
When they tell me that sugar has re
cently advanced one cent a pound, why
is this? .1 will tell you; the great sugar
trust with more than one hundred mil
lion capital and and an annual income
of twenty million heard that we were
going to make a great fruit crop down
in this country and that these many
noble women would take advantage of
the opportunity to can and preserve
this great crop of peaches, plums and
blackberries and this trust saw its op
portunity to swell its dividend because
these women must haye sugar to pre
serye their fruit.
The republican party is as evasive
on the future disposition of the Philip
pine question as tbe president has been
himself. I guess they have used their
splendid evasiveness as it is very doubt
ful if the president has any permanent
views. I believe the Philippine war is
uncalled for and unnecessary, for the
reason that McKinley has been non
committal. Had he been the strong
president, the clear and foresighted
leader, the man of ideas, the man with
fixed views, the man to lead the nation
instead of to follow and catch on to the
public sentiment of his own party, had
he been a leader instead of a follower
or a drifter, be would have spoken
plainly to the Philippine people, but
he did no', he does not speak plainly
to his own, the American people, as to
his and his party’s intentions toward
the Filipinos.
I say had he been honest and assured
them properly of their coming liberty
then Ido not believe that we would
have been in war with them today.
I cannot understand why we went to
war to fight Cuba’s battles, spending
millions of dollars and giving up the
blodd of our soldiers that Cuba might
have liberty and independence, while
now we are at war with the Filipinos
spending many millions of dollars
and shedding the blood of our brave
American soldiers because we deny
to them which is in our power to give,
the identical liberty that we battled for
in Cuba’s behalf and which is dear to
every American.
We are spending one hundred and
fifty millions of dollars annually to
carry on this war, or two dollars each for
every woman, child and man in the
United States, or annually one twelfth
of our per capita circulation money.
What return will we get? Why the
profits on all the trade from the Phil
ippine Islands will not repay us during
the life of the present generation, for
the money, we have spent and the blood
we have shed. Lee us be for the ex
pansion of our commerce, but let it be
by friendship with foreign powers, by
peace and by superiority in competi
tion. Let us say to the Fillipinos
surrender your arms, form yourselves
into a peaceful and stable govern
ment —when that is done we will
then haul down with our own hands
the American flag of Stars and Stripes
and instead we will hoist another flag,
tne emblem of which shall be to the
Filipinos liberty and independence
and a protection by this country from
outside interference.
The Democratic convention at Kan
sas City has just issued its platform,-
and I feel a pride in the fact that this
is the first democratic convention in
Georgia to follow this great national
convention. We are the first to give it
our approval.
The platform, unlike the republican,
stands out boldly, it is not evasive, but
is honest, plain and easily understood.
There can be no misunderstanding of
its meaning. It is safe, it is broad,
liberal and thoroughly American. And
immediately on the adoption of that
platform by the convention a candidate
was nominated for the Presidency of
the United States by acclamation with
out a dissenting vote, one that is in
full sympathy with every word of that
platform and if elected will administer
the affairs of the country in accordance
with the principles laid down. There
will be no more indecision, no more
clouds of mystery. We will haye a
man for President not only capable of
seeing and knowing his duty but has
both the convictions and courage to
fulfill every duty that will add to the
happiness and greatness of this people,
such a man is William Jennings Bry
an. . .
Gentlemen of the Convention, the
country must now know that there is
one issue and that is against the repub
lican party, all opposition must con
centrate; there must be no division
among us, it must be a battle of the
people marching under the democratic
banner against imperialism, militarism,
McKinleyism, commercial trust, the
national bank trust and Mark Hanna.
Mr. Chairman and members of the
Convention, I accept the nomination
you have tendered me and I pledge to
you fidelity to duty.
I shall strive at all times by constant
and earnest efforts, by legislation and
otherwise to advance prosperity and
glory of our country and to the inde
pendence and happiness of all the peo
ple. I shall work faithfully for the
party and I will hold aloft the banner
of democracy over the district and the
campaign will be waged.
Shall this great country remain a
republic, or be made an empire? Shall
it be McKinley and imperialism, or
will it be Bryan and liberty?
Loud applause followed Mr. Lewis’
able speech, and he was roundly con
gratulated by members of the conven
tion for the sound democracy and patri
otic utterances contained therein.
The only business then remaining
before the convention was the election
of a new executive committee. The
committee thus chosen were: C. C.
Smith, of Pulaski; T. A. Collins, of
Schley; F. F. Paris, of Taylor; 0. S.
Cutts, of Houston; J. W. Matthews,
of Crawford; J. W. Castleberry, of
Webster; John T. King, of Wilcox; J
S. Byrom, of Dooly; C. F. Putnam, of
Lee, F. B. Wimberly, of Twiggs; G.
Forrester, of Stewart; J. M, Harrison,
of Macon. These were elected by ac'
clamation.
Hon. T. A. Collins of Schley was
again elected district chairman, and
Hon. James Harrison of Macon district
secretary.
The convention, prior to adjourn
ment, extended thanks to the citizens
of Leesburg and Lee county for the
generous hospitality extended the
delegates and visitors. Royal enter
tainment was showered upon members
of the convention, and the meeting at
Leesburg will long be pleasantly re
membered by the democratic hosts
there assembled.

“There is but one small chance to
save you life and that is through an
operation,” was the awful prospect set
before Mrs. I. B. Hunt, of Lime Ridge,
Wis., by her doctor after vainly trying
to cure her of a frightful case of stom
ach trouble and yellow jaundice. He
didn’t count on the marvelous powers
of Electric Bitters to cure stomach and
Liver troubles, but she heard of it,
took seven bottles, was wholly cured,
avoided surgeon’s knife, now weighs
more and feels better than ever. It’s
positively guaranteed to cure Stomach
Liver and Kidney troubles and never
disappoints. Priec 50c at E. J. Eld
