Georgia Stage Political Play Warns of Corporate Manipulation
MO Johnson argues in a Savannah letter that Georgia politics are staged by corporate interests. He portrays Morris as a sacrificed reformer, Billy Osborne as a puppet king, and West as a compromised candidate, urging voters to reject machine politics in 1906. He names Emerson George, Steed, and Osborn, and predicts a political reckoning as the people awaken and resist the corporations.
