Brown's Georgia gubernatorial battle recounts voter loyalties
In a lengthy, polemical document Joseph M. Brown argues that Georgians in country districts backed his 1908 gubernatorial bid, not railroad rings or liquor interests. He contends Ex Governor Smith misrepresented the vote, defends railroad rates and school funding, and asserts the people elected him to uphold state independence from executive overreach. Brown catalogues county by county results to prove country voters propelled his win and declares his platform the true will of Georgia.
