1 ATLANTA 1910 22 PAGES The Atlanta Georgian. ATLANTA 1910 22 PAGES VOL. I. NO. 39. ATLANTA, GA;, SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1906. PRICE HOWELL AND SMITH GIVEN AN! OVATION Great Crowd of Men and Women Brave Heat of the Evening to Hear Joint Discussion Between Atlanta's Two Can didates for Governor of Georgia. Both Speakers Receive Ovation But Mr. Smith Holds Sympathy of a Large Majority of the Audience—Mr. Howell Speaks Under Difficulties. The sympathy of nt feast two- thirds of the crowd of 6,500 pco jile which went to the Peachtree auditorium last night, was with Hoke Smith in hia joint debate with ('lark Howell on the issues involved in the gubernatorial cam paign. Mr. Smith was at his best and handled ridicule,' scorn Bnd sar ensin in an effective manner. Mr. Howell was at a disadvantage. The crowd was against him.to begin with, and Mr. Smith in opening had put him on the defensive. At the conclusion the Smith ad herents gave vent to enthusiasm which (he efforts of the officers nnd those in charge of the meet ing had partially held in check. Mr. Howell was also the recipient of many congratulatory hand- slinkes. but the enthusiasm ap peared forced, not spontaneous and genuine as did the Smith en thusiasm. • Text of Speeches; Freight rates, corporation con trol of the political machinery the close rclationhip existing be tween the pnid employees of the railronds nnd the statehouse offi cials and the inconsistencies of Mr. Howell were the burden of Mr. Smith’s argument. . Mr. Howell devoted 61 minutes nf his hour and a half in personal criticism of Mr. Smith, first for his ennneetion with the Piedmont bar tnd his personal liquor neconnt, credited in red ink on the ledger nf the bar by one-third owner's discount: his attempt tp control the itatc Democratic executive com mittee when Parker was nominat ed for president and.his desire to have a resolution adopted con demning Tom Watson for run ning for president, and seeking to prevent Populists from voting for him. together with an attempt which fell rather flat to defend the railroad commission and' place himself in the ; position of favor ing a reduction in freight rates How Debate Began. Mr. Smith had the opening and the concluding. Mr. Howell enme in between. Mr. Smith' spoke for •n hour, beginning with freight rates and running the gamut of the political shis of Mr.' Howell and the'ring in Georgia. Mr.'How- el I followed, nnd in' iuspeeeh'of an hour and a half told the audience whnt Mr. Smith had done and how he was seeking to disrupt the Democratic party in’the state, Mr. Smith concluded'iij a speech of half an hour, severely arraign ed Mr. Howell fur certain asser tions Mr. Howell hfid mado. : Mr. Ilowell had entered the au ditorium fifteen minutes ahead nf Mr. Smith, or at 7:47 o’clock..lie "Ms accompanied by Roby' Robin- *0" and Tom Egleston. (.'hnrles T Hopkins, his manager'in Ful ton county, was already on-the *t*ge, as was -John Boifeuillct, his manager in the state at large. Mr. Howell was'given a rousing re* option, and it looked- as if Mr. S'tvtli could not be accorded a erecting any more cordial. Mr. Smith Was Dramatic. ' Mr. Smith timed his arrival to. a nicety, however. The speaking* had been announced to begin Promptly at 8 o’clock, There were several false alarms, the cry being Li' -' d that Mr. Smith was coming. This created nn impatience. Tbe crowd got used to the presence of Mr. Howell, nnd when Mr. Smith d'd arrive there was a tremendous h irst of enthusiasm. Mr. Smith’s entry was dramatic, ‘•c '"stained the dramatic quality '' through the evening. Ilia first twenty minutes of speaking was h^her dull, the speaker dealing prospered under the ring rule. He said he had entered the race for governor in response to what he believed a call from hia fellow Georgians; he went on to say that his entry hnd been hastened somewhat by the dire threats of Mr. Howell to expose him. Mr. Smith never attempted eloquence. His was a speeqh of sledge-ham mer blows, cold fncts, sarcasm and ridicule. Mr. Howell’s Trying Experience. Mr. Howell had been called for by the erowd repeatedly. At times both Mr. Arnold and Mr. Hopkins had to plead for quiet. 'The police officers—who did excellent work, by the way—seemed powerless to preserve perfect order in the vast throng. When Mr.' Sfnith con cluded his first speech Mr. How ell was received with a mingling of cheers, hoots qnd catcalls. It appeared as if there was'about 200 Smith supporters in the audi torium who came for the express ed purpose of making it impossi ble for Mr. Howell to be heard.

Atlanta and Memphis struggled for victory this afternoon on the Pied mont battlefield.

Thcso interruptions were at tributed by the few impartial hearers to the tactics adopted by Mr. Howell in attacking Mr Smith personally. At the end of the hour, when Mr. Howell went to the issues involved in the cam paign, and told something of the efforts made by Mr. Smith to con trol the state machine, the crowd gave him a more attentive hear ing mmmmm Mr. Smith took full advantage of his closing time.. He asserted that Mr. Howell hnd persecuted him at every turn in his life ever since Mr. - Smith purchased The Atlanta Journnl. An intense scene of enthusiasm was created when Mr. Smith, replying to Mr. How ell’s ^charge that Mr. Smith bad not used the money from the Pied' mont bar for charitable purposes, told that the school’children'of Atlanta were getting their hooks free,and that his money wbs buy ing them, and that the Piedmont bar profits were a part of: that money. It was a great debate. Mr. Smith hnd the support of a majority of the; crowd. Mr. IIoW' ell detained his composure and n’c’ver once displayed. temper or impatience. He-', was the same cven-tcmpyred, sidcere man that his> friends, know him to, be. .Mr. Smith was earnest; almost to sol emnity exqept wheh’ he indulged in ridicule. ’Then-he disjihty'ed that charaoterijrftic .' of bhliiKipg aside everythingjin his.wav, wliitty hnsi tended to' make'him that suc cessful lawyer that he is.* ' The crowd was not faif .in Htq treatment of Mr. Howell. It can not he charged, however, that thp Smith adherents packed the meeting. There were’ too many people and they were reprexent'A* tative not- only of Atlanta and Fulton county, but of the state, Mr. Smith had the opening and his speech in'full is printed in this issue of The Georgian, as are also the speech of-Mr. nowell nnd Mr. Smith’s rejoinder.
