ENffi POLITICIANS
T WO member* of tile legislature
were discussing the expenses of
living In Atlanta during the ses>
slnn. One said: *
"I have a good big front room In a
nice house, and pay $1 a week. My
Incidental expense* are not over $4 n
week, so I save about $18 every seven
dty« out of my per diem of It a day.”
•That's cheaper than l live now,”
eald the other one. “It I* costing me
about lib a week actual expenses, and
I've got to cut It down somehow. A
fellow wants me to go In the room with
him, and It will cost us only $5 a week
a piece then.”
Which leads to the comment that
perhaps a majority of the members of
the general assembly consist of frugal
men, who save a good proportion of
their $200 for the session. Not all.
however, for some live In the expen
sive hotels, and perhaps pay >4 or
more per day for board. It la said that
a few men spend $500 to $800 per ses
sion of 60 day*.
Hoke Smith's campaign for governor
will be historical, perhaps. In more
ways than one. Since he opened his
campaign over a year ago In Madison
he has spoken In 111 counties, and by
the time he has wound up a day or so
before the primary on August $2, he
will have made the total near 140. In
many of the counties he has spoken
twice or more. Fannin Is the only
county north of Atlanta In which he
has not made a speech. Clayton, Jones
and one or two others north of Macon
nave not heard him, nor has Ogle-
tnorpe, the home of James M. Smith,
another gubernatorial aspirant.
The other counties not yet visited
nr 5lr. Smith are In South Georgia.
He has not stormed Colonel Estlll's
etmnghotd—Chatham—yst, but will go
•here the latter part of July. There
are not more than fire or six counties
Mr. Smith ha* no present Intention, at
iea«t. of visiting. Turner Is the only
one of the new counties In which he
h«a not spoken.
Only one other candidate has a
hook-ln at Hoke Smith's record—and
that l< Plain Dick" Russell. Judge
Rumen has not been at It nearly so
mng as Mr. Smith, but he has done

BURDEN OF SPEECH
IE BY 1, TAFT
Declares Grandfather
Clause Will Not
Stand Test.
Special to The Georgtsn.
Greenboro, N. C„ July 10.—Th* state
Republican convention convened here
yesterday. The feature of the session
was the speech last night of Secretary
of War Taft
The secretary discussed political con
ditions In the South and expressed the
hopa that ho white people would dl$
vide so that there might be two politi
cal parties.
Wscuf.-hig disfranchisement, the sec
retary said that no law containing tha
grandfather' clause would ever stand
the test of the United States supreme
court, and he further said that any
educational test would operate to dis
franchise whites ns well as negroes.
Secretary Taft, In opening, said that
when he aas Invited to address this
meeting the committee advised him
'that the polltirsi situation was such
that If th* proper effort was made at
the coming election It would b* possi
ble to carry the state for the Republi
can party.” The secretary added:
believe that nothing that could
happen In the polities In this country
would work greater advantag* to the
country ot large nnd to th* South In
particular than tho breaking up of
what has been properly known as th*
'solid South.' I say this In no partisan
spirit, for I am not one of those who
think that this result would necesaarl-
r Increase the probability of the con-
[nuance In power of tji* Republican
■ irtv
'The solidity ot the South has In a
measure furnished Ita own antidote In
restraining many voters In the North
who might have left the Republican
tarty, but for what they regard as ths
njiwtli'o mi.I danger ft J-t.ittt hot ii pi.
llticnl conditions.
"The South has been kept solid by
the specter of negro domination and
by stirring up racial prejudices and
arousing unfounded nlarm over an Im
possible return of reconstruction day*.
"After a lmiK hiiukkIc," he added,
'the negro'* vote wn* made to count
for nothing end then the political lead
ers of the dominant party cam* to
realise that dreadful dkmorallsatlon of
nil society that followed In n govern
ment If law waa floutod and fraud wa*
to constitute Its basis. They cast about
to moke the low square with existing
conditions by property and education:!
qualification* which should exclude the
negro. They adopted amendment* to
state constitutions with the so-called
'grandfather clauses' Intended to apply
the new qualifications to the negro and
not to apply them to the whites.' 1
Ho added that there "was enough of
Independence oven among thoeo rep
resentatives to give th* vote which
made tho canal possible, but ths very
fact that merely to acron | I
supposed advantage to th* ..ML.,
party, a majority of the senators of
the South were willing to sacrifice her
material Interests and delay the great
reject of such capital Importance to
or Indicate* the disadvantage that she
labors under In having It appear that
alia I* tied Irretrievably t" til' 1 lleill i
crstle party."
