DEBATE AT COLUMBUS
DIFFERED IN TACTICS
Boh Mr. Smith and Mr. Howell Changed Their
Themes Almost Entirely When They
Met Friday Night.
By WIDEMAN LEE.
r ijK Atlanta Joint debate was pret
ty warm, but It didn't compare
with the Columbus affair, by the
,lde of which it was tome. There were
possibly fifty people In the audience
a t the Peachtree auditorium Friday
n l g ht who were also present at tho
rprinier opera house, in Columbus, on
januiry 10, when Clark Howell and
jjolte Smith met for their first Joint
debatt of the gubernatorial campaign.
Those who saw both debates, for there
-as oi much In the sight as In what
„. as pally heard, pronounced the At
lanta lebatc much tamer than the first
meetii*.
Expriencc Is a great teacher—and
Clark Howell and Hoke Smith both
ihow* Friday night that they had
nrofitJ by their experience In Colum
bus. Mr. Smith deviated moro from
bis inner course than did .Mr. Howell.
In IB Columbus debate, Mr. Smith
dhoit for fully a half hour on the rall-
roatflng, which he declared was dom-
Inaid by Hamilton McWhorter, Al
ter Howell and Clark Howell. His
(alignment of these throe men was
se <re, and he forsook the Issues of
t b campaign to Indulge In vlllflca-
tl. of them. Friday night, the ab-
„ce of any such "argument" was
cisplcuous to those who had heard
J. Smith’s Columbus address. Mr.
;ilth dwelt nt length In his Colum-
ls speech on Clark Howell's official
j-eer, producing books and records.
Mrh he said contained things which
ould surprise the people of the state,
lie Atlanta Constitution tvaa bitterly
-pudlated, tod.
A feature of the Atlanta debate that
as a repetition of the former contest
as the remark of Mr. Smith to the
fleet that the Clark Howell men
/e/e.yelllng because they didn’t want
to l r the charges against him. The
mat r In which it was said was ex
act! is It had been in Columbus, and
effe ve in both instances.
Both Were Cooler Here.
, A er played an. Important part In
the olumbus debate, for both eandl
dat lost their temper, though Mr.
Ho H was by far the cooler of the
tw nen. After sitting quietly for an
ho listening to charges against him
wt i must have msde his blood boll—
an Hd wilt his collar down before he
ev] arose to address the audience—
mltn Jumped up, his face white,
of perspiration on his massive
. lead, on which the veins were
riding out like whl|>cordB, his body
idering with anger, his entire being
tiembodlmcnt of rage, and from the
word he uttered until his clos-
remark at the close of an hour and
alf, he Indulged In such merciless
roach, such bitter repudiation of all
: his adversary had said, that lie
wed keenly Ms bitter personal ha
rt of the man who had charged him
th Inconsistencies of every nature,
was a personaF attack that ho made
Mr. Howell, such rs Mr. Howell,
a part of his Atlanta speech, mode
Mr. Smith. There was very little
rgument on either side In that debate
t Columbus, for those candidates had
no much against each other to take
Ime to discuss anything In which the
[people were interested. They were
having It out.
Msny Subjects Dropped.
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 pictured In
words that left nothing to the Imag
ination -the merciless be'.-uyol of the
Democratic party by Hokc'Smlth. He
read letters from dlffcrem men to bear
ont „ ebargea and the celebrated Sid
ney Tapp epistle did create quite the
sensation of the debate. Tom Watscn
Mr. Howell’s theme, while the
Piedmont bar was not mentioned.
The freight bureau Incident figured in
both debates.
Then another charge against Mr.
Smith which Mr. Howell made, and by
which be meant to show that his ad
versary's position on the race’question
was wholly Inconsistent, was the Blsh-
ou Turner family Affair. 'He. produced
records from the government; he read
official reports; all 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 lm.l to come out,
which It did not fall to do. Contempt
and ridicule were rampant with both
Mr. Howell and Mr. Smith.
No Votes Msde at Columbus,
Neither of the candidates at the Co
lumbus debate made votes, wise poll
Melons said. They Interested their
hearers Just ns a bull fight would
have done, for It was a battle of words
—which each looked os if he would like
to change Into some more formidable
weapon.
The Columbus 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 these, 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 bolcterous "Hurrah for Smith!"
and "Hurrah for Howelli" from row
dies, who had no thought other than
to create disorder for their own amuse
ment and the discomfort of those about
them. The fact that tho chief of po
lice of Columbus, Wiley Williams,
stood at one corner of the stage fac
ing the crowd no doubt had much to
do with the 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 s.rnln-
cd and broken, as It waa In the Atlanta
debate.
A Dog Fall at Columbus.
The Columbus vlltfl-Jolllficatlon was
a dog folj. All conservative men com
sldered It so, for the Issues were not
discussed—only mentioned en passant.
Many of those who went to the 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 agalnut him by the
other should have any truth In them.
In Atlanta, with a house which was
two-thirds his, Hoke .Smith, who re
ceived a perfect henetng, came out a
decided victor over Clark Howell, who.
speaking under the disadvantage of a
voice Inadequate to tho acoustics of
the auditorium, as well as to over
come tho noises made by the ever
present rowdy, did not have a favora
ble opportunity to present his case, hnd
he cared to Indulge In a discussion of
the Issues of the campaign.
ALL HONORS OF ROYALTY
TO FALL ON LONG WORTHS
DURING STA YIN ENGLAND
By LADY HENRY SOMERSET.
Special Cable—Copyright,
London, June 11,—Mrs. Nicholas
longworth, daughter of President
Roosevelt, is the csntral figure In Lon
don society Just now, and It Is safe to
say that she will need the rest she Is
taking today at Dorchester house, tht
splendid London home of Ambassador
Reid.
For from the time she appears to
night at the Alhambra, where she will
witness the Initial performance of the
hew ballet by Mrs. Ritchie, daughter
of Mrs. Ronalds, one of the moat pop
ular American women In London socie
ty, until she leaves England there will
be a continuous round of entertain
ments. if Mrs. Longworth were half a
oaten persons, It would be Impossible
to ncept a moiety of the Invitations
which have been showered upon her.
The young Americans meet the king
at a dinner to be given by Mr. Reid
tomorrow night. Covers will be laid
for forty. Much Interest is manifest
ed In the placing of the guests on that
occasion. His majesty Is as supreme In
•octal matters In London as la the pope
In religious affairs among Catholics,
»nd the precedence accorded by him to
Mr. and Mrs. Longworth tomorrow
night win doubtless be followed at all
the functions at which they are pres-
Qt
Mr. Reid has made elaborate prepa
rations for the dinner tomorrow night
and the greet reception at Dorchester
house which Is to follow Wednesday
night. These functions will be among
the most elaborate of tho festive sea
son.
Mr. and Mrs. Longworth will be the
tuests of honor at a week's end party
at West Park, the country residence of
Amhessador Reid.
Mrs. Longworth expresses herself as
delighted at her reception and plans for
her entertainment In England. She de
clared to tho press:
_ '»e are holidaying, you know, and
me.m to be happy. Political matters
nave no concern for me. Mr. Long-
Worth is a politician, but for the time
OMBS in such variety and of such
| _ beautiful designs. Among the
attractively finished styles are
those with filigree scrolls,carved
arabesques, Jewel-set or enam
eled.. The effective Baroque
Petris are used as a sitting in some of
® e smartest combs and form a most
••Tractive combination with either the
•nse-gold or green-gold finish.
Turquoise ensmeis are also popular.

RESOLUTIONS OF SYMPATHY
FOR JUDGE W. T. NEWMAN
The following resolutions of sym
pathy for Judge W. T. Newman and
family In the recent death of Mrs Lucy
Rucker have been drawn up by the
committee appointed from tho United
States grand Jury for tho spring term:
The call from the physical existence
to that of the spiritual has been an
swered by another noble life. In the
person of Mrs. Lucy Rucker, the
daughter of our honored and upright
Judge W. T. Newman. There Is causo
for congratulation, as well as grief,
that his life as s father and his noble
family’s should have known and touch
ed one so beautiful and enriching. The
cause for grief Is that she should have
been so soon removed from a sphere
where usefulness, such as she had
rendered, was so much needed. And
yet the Father of us all knows when a
life Is ripe, and, therefore, when to
put that life Into another place where
It can do more than It could have done
here. Be It resolved,
First, That we extend to tho father
and the rest of the family our sincere
and heartfelt symptthy In this tbelr
dark hour of bereavement; and we
know that He vjho took the life will
give that strength and guidance that
they may need;
Resolved, second. That a copy of
thess resolutions be published In the
K pars of Atlanta, and that ths family
furnished with the same.
