DEBATE AT COLUMBUS DIFFERED IN TACTICS Both Mr. Smith and Mr. Howell Changed Their Themes Almost Entirely When They Met Friday Night. md mm a mMhb. MHIUV. JURIS ii. 1M. By WIDEMAN LEE. T HE Atlanta Joint debate waa pret- ty warm, but It didn’t compare with the Columbus nffair, by the ,liis of which It was tame. There were posrlbly fifty people In the audience at the Peachtree auditorium Friday night who were also present at the Springer opera house. In Columbus, on January 10, when Clark Howell and Hoke Smith met tor their first Joint debate of the gubernatorial campaign. Those who saw both debates, for there ,a, as much In the sight as in what m really heard, pronounced the At lanta debate much tamer than the first meeting. Experience Is a great teacher—and Clark Howell and Hoko Smith both (bowed Friday night that they had profited by their experience In Colum bus. Mr. Smith deviated more from Ms former course than did Mr. Howell. In the Columbus debate, Mr. Smith ■poke for fully a half hour on the rail road ring, which he declared was dom inated by Hamilton McWhorter, Al bert Howell and Clark Howell. His arraignment of these three men was ■evere. and he forsook the Issues of the campaign to Indulge in vilifica tion of them. Friday night, the ab sence of any such "argument" waa conspicuous to those who had heard .Mr. Smith's Columbus address. Mr. Smith dwelt at length in his Colum bus speech on Clark Howell's official career, producing books and records, which he said contained things which would surprise the people of tho scute. The Atlanta Constitution was bitterly repudiated, too. A feature of the Atlanta debate tlint was a repetition of the former contest was the remark of Mr. Smith to the effect that the Clark Howell men were yelling because they didn’t want to hear the charges against him. The manner In which it was said was ex actly ns It had been in Columbus, and effective In both Instances. Both Were Cooler Here. Anger played an Important part in the Columbus debate, for both candi dates lost their temper, though Mr. Howell was by far the cooler of the two men. After sitting quietly for an hour, listening to charges against him which must have made his blood boll— and did wilt his collar down before he even ar we to address tho audience— Mr. Smith jumped up, his face white, heads of perspiration on hU massive forehead, on which the veins were standing out like whipcords, hie bodv quivering with anger, his entire being the embodiment of rage, and from the first word he uttered until hie clos ing remark at the close of an hour and a half, he Indulged In such merciless reproach, such bitter repudiation of all fh-r: his adversary had said, that he showed keenly Ills bitter personal ha tred of tire man who hud charged him with inconsistencies of every nature. It was a personal attack that he made on Mr. Howell, such rs Mr. ltowell, for a part of his Atlanta speech, made on .Mr. Smith. There was very little argument on either Side in that debato at Columbus, for those candidates had too much against each other to take lime to discuss anything In which the people were interested. They were having It out. Many Subjects Droppsd. In Mr. Howell's Columbus speech. he devoted a major portion of his time to the alleged deal between Hoke Smith and Tom Watson. He plctured in words that left nothing to the Imag ination the merelirss he'.rayal of the Democratic party by Hoke Smith. He read letters from different men to bear out his charges, and the celebrated Sid ney Tapp epistle did create quite the sensation of the debate. Tom Watson was Mr. Howell's theme, while the Piedmont bar was not mentioned. The freight bureau Incident figured in both debates. Then another rhargj against Mr. Smith which Mr. Mowed made, and by which he meant to show that his ad versary's position on the race question was wholly inconsistent, was the Blah- ou Turner family affair. He. produced records from the government; be read official reports; nil to show, that Hoke Smith had favored the negro while In Washington. This part of Mr. How- ell s Columbus address consumed much time. Issues were totally disregarded by both candidates, for they had it In for each other, and It had to pome out, which It did not fall to do. Contempt and ridicule were rampant with both Mr. Howell and Mr. Smith. No Votba Mads at Columbus. Neither of the candidates at the Co lumbus debate made votes, wise poli ticians said. They Interested their hearers Just as a bull fight would have done, for It was a battle of words —which each looked as If he would like to change Into eome more formidable weapon. The Columbua debate was held In the opera house of that city, and there were seats to spare—In fact, the gallery was not one-tenth full, though the other two floors were packed. There were not more than 1,200 people In the opera house, and of theso, each candidate had about half. The order was as far ahead of that at the debate Friday night as could be Imagined. Both candidates were given a respect ful hearing, though there was much of the boisterous "Hurrah for Smith!" and "Hurrah for Howell!” from row dies, who had no thought other than to create disorder for their own amuse ment and the discomfort of thoss about them. The fact that the chief of po. lice of Columbus, Wiley Williams, stood at one comer of the stage fac ing the crowd no doubt had much to do with tho excellent order, for It was excellent compared to that of Friday night, and there were no ejections. Both candidates were heard perfect ly In every part of the opera house, and Mr. Howell’s voice was not sprain ed and broken, as It was In the Atlanta debate. A Dog Fall at Columbus. The Columbus villfl-Jolllflentton w a dog fall. All conservative men con sidered It so, for the Issues were not discussed—only mentioned en peasant. Many of those who went to tho Colum bus debate unbiased came away with the feeling that they would be afraid to vote for either candidate If half of the charges made against him by (he other should have any truth In them. In Atlanta, with a house which was two-thirds his, Hoke Smith, who re ceived a perfect heaving, came out a decided victor over Clark Howell, who, speaking under the disadvantage of a voice Inadequate to the acoustics of the auditorium, as well as to over come the noises made by the ever present rowdy, did not hnve a favora ble opportunity to present Ills case, had he cared to Indulge In a discussion of the Issues of the campaign.

In the person of Mrs. Lucy Rucker, the daughter of our honored and upright Judge W. T. Newman. There Is cause for congratulation, as well aa grief, that his life as a father and his noble family's should have known and touch ed one so beautiful and enriching. The cause for grief le that the should have been so soon removed from a sphere where usefulness, such as she had rendered, was so much needed.
