Brown Addresses Georgia on Smith Opposition and Reform
Governor Joseph M. Brown releases a detailed reply to ex Governor Hoke Smith. He defends railroad, registration, teacher pay bonds and local self government while asserting Smith seeks to override the people's platform with autocratic policy. He presents county by county data to show Brown won the 1908 race in rural Georgia and labels Smith’s charge as misrepresentation. Brown argues for paying teachers promptly, avoiding blanket bond issuance, and upholding democratic principles.
