TiirnspAY, at:o!*rt 23. CLARK HOWELL WRITES OF DEFEAT BY SMITH II The Constitution prln'ed Thursday , morning an editorial, signal by Clark Howell, In which defeat Is admitted, gracefully, perhaps, but with a tincture of protest. This particularly appears In uhat Mr. Howell says about Mr. Wat son's part In the campaign. It was as follows: •Whatever may be the views, the reasoning, or thd explanation of others us to the causes leading to the result, anil the condition It creates, I give mine for what they are worth, and with the assurance that, so far as 1 am concerned, I accept It with com- IK.sure and without personal bitterness —with regret, it Is true, that my un swerving party loyalty has-been made the weakest point In my armor as a candidate, and that for that very loy ally to my party, I have bt*n made a sacrifice at the hands of those against whose assaults on the party I have stood with unflinching zeal and unre mitting determination. In all these years, I have necessarily mode polit ical opponents of those whose antag onism to my party has led me to an tagonize them. As a loyal Democrat I had no other course to pursue. ••Under the leadership of Mr. Wat son this very large element—not those who were formerly Populists, but those who are now Populists, were brought Into the Democratic primary, moved primarily by the openfy avowed pur- IKise to punish thefee who have hereto fore stood against their assaults on the party, and who had no apologies to of fer. Nor have they come bock as Democrats. Mr. Watson was frank enough to refuse to declare his Inten tion to support the Democratic nom ine? for president two years hence, re serving for himself the right to direct the Democratic nomination In the state primary this year, and then to lead ni* torcea against the party two years no man can blame him if he does this very thing, for he has not concealed his right to do so. It Is a condition without a precedent In the polities of this or any other state." Mr, Howell then defends his public record and his personal views in the matter of the railroads, declaring that he has never sacrificed the Interest or the people for corporate welfare He said: "During this wholo campaign I have not asked, nor received, one dollar from any railroad on earth and even my ad versaries will admit that I have not re- celved the support or encouragement of the head of a single railroad sys tem. Nor was I entitled to It by virtue of any support I had ever given them in any measure affecting their interests as against what I believed to be the in terest of the public." Then, reverting to dlsfranchisemnt, he declared his belief that the white man will lose his ballot along with the negro. In closing, he said; "Georgia Is ‘good enough for me,' whoever may he her chief executive. I have never yet sought, the shadow In defeat and It Iv.too late to begin now. Whatever happens, I prefer to live In the sunshine of the sentiment so aptly expressed by Stanton: " Thhe old world we're livin' In Is mighty liard to beat; We get a thorn with every rose, But—ain’t the roses sweet!’ "Defeat Is the thorn today, but would not exchange it for the friend ships that have been so generously manifested In this campaign. They are the. roses that make defeat easy!" Chambsrlin-Johnson-DuBose Company. Chamberlih-Johnson-DuBoss Company. "1 Dinihg Room Specials in th? 10 Days C.-J.-D. Furniture Sale. WINNERS IN TWO. CONTESTS FOR CONGRESSIONAL BERTHS In only two of the eleven congresa- lonal districts of Georgia were there contests In the election of Wednesday— the‘First and the Third. In the First. In the first (Savannah district) there was a double fight for the seat of the late Rufus R. Lester—the short and long terms. J. W. Overstreet was nominated to fill the unexplred term and W. W. Sheppard was chosen for t he long term. There were four candidates for the short term. Gordon Saussy, William Clifton. J. W. Overstreet and J. Hart ridge Smith. Sheppard was opposed In the con. test for the long term by J. A. Bran nen. In the Third. The Indications tip to the latest hour nre that Hon. E. B. Lewis has defeated Hon. Dudley M. Hughes In the Third district by a small majority. The race was close In Sumter, the latest reports indicating that Hughes has a amall ma jority. Lewis carried Macon county by over to plurality. Stewart went for Hughes by about 50 votes. Schley Is In the Hughes column by only 35 votes, whllo Webster probably gives Lewis a good plurality. Lee Is foe Lewis, as Is Dooly by a large vote. ’ In Crisp Lewis' plurality Is over 400, while Lewis probably has a small lead In Houston. Twiggs, Mr. Hughes' home county gave him only 250 plural ity over Lewis. Crawford county went for Hughes by a small vote. GEORGIAN “WANT ADS” Take the load off your mind. flTiy Them I 1c. A WORD.
