It Is irafortunate that a man so j et^nble and so courageous as Mr. Bev . erldge proves himself to be should be so powerfully Inclined to exag-' ^ ? geraiUrur-^ensatlou. seatlmeu'lallt^ and staginess. He stands .boldly' against some of the evil tendencies of bis own party, but be does mo in a fashion which is bardly convinc ing. He asaails the Democratic party with yfgor. but he does w in i nay to suggest a mere balancing of ac counts. While plain speech Is desirable in, these days. sober speech and truth ful speech are imperative. Mr. Bev eridge is brave in his emotionallam if he could be fearless Jn-candor and reason and wlsddln he would 'oom mand more attention. / TOM XVATftOVS HOWL Several months ago when that em inent agitator and populist. Tom Watson, announced his return to the Democratic fold there were premon itions that the time would soon come when a barbed fence would not keep him on the Inside. He was not long is Justifying all aprehenstons as to his absolute ina bllty to lead a quiet life, and tbe Bal timore Sun 'tella of his capers as follows: "His bitter tight against the re nomination of two congressmen re sulted in their polling a substantial majority. But he thrives on defeat. He was kept bo busy In the congres sional light that he was unable to throw his whole strength against the nomination of Hoke Smith for Gov ernor. But since Smith has been nominatod and Mr. Watson has had time to get around to his case, he has been doing the subject full Jus tice. . * '? t J "Attacking him personally and politically, he has poured rf constant fire into the candidate for Governor. In Georgia for a generation the Democratic nomination has been equivalent to election. But when Watson starts into a fight colqssal majoritiea do not deter him. He goes up against a stone wall with the same Joyous audacity that he at tack? a straw man. ne hired a hall In Atlanta to hurl his projectiles at close rangeg. The friendu of Hoke Smith packed the meeting and he - Couldn't be heard ten feet. He tried ^it again and they almost blew the ?pfOof oft the house. Watson says he ""will have his say if the whole world ?? howls, while the Hoke Smith 'root -'fr*' announce that previous disturb ance# art mere summer zephyrs com 'Spared with the performance they ar^i ^prepared to put ?p. ~ "As fa* as itt dutitd?hr is able td 'make out* amidst the fearful din that arteee from Georgia.
