PB ESS COMMENT ON
gubernatorial race.
Bright Paragraphs Culled
prom Exchanges all
Over the State.
lust Thursday morning a \Vell
kn0ffU warehouseman of Macon,
Ijo is a Hok® Smith supporter,
started in to poll a crowd on the
!tree ts of Roberta. After polling
ten 0 f the crowd, all of whom de-
olured in favor of Joe Brown, he
became discouraged and gave it
u ,,asii bad job.—Crawford Conn
tv News.
That Mr. Brown is the tool of
the railroads (while it is said in
the next breath that lid had been
„fi rP( l” by nearly all of them) is
not good reasoning. He maybe,
but somehow the two stories are
not consistent.-Atlanta Georgian.
Hoke gave Thomas the go bv
Bud will speuk. at Cairo in t in* next
two weeks. It wouldn’t be of
much advantage to come here,
because those who are against the
prMji'iit administration in this
county are strong-minded citizens
who have become displeased with
th- rudicalistic policies of the
present governor and are fully in
sympathy with the ideas and
platform of Joe Brown, and they
are increasing every day.—Thom-
asrille Tiines-Euterprise.
A dispatch from Atlanta says
|'that the result of polls taken on
trains, in hotel lobbies and else
where are not being so extrava
gantly published this year as dur
ing Governor Smith’s first cam
paign. They are conspicuous in
their absence from the Journal
I columns. — Columbus Enquirer-
I Sun.
The Savannah Press 1ms learned
I thus early in the campaign that
it was rather “previous” when it
(committed itself to the idea that
Hoke Smith would have things
I his own way in the coming pri
mary and is now candid enough
to admit that Brown’s strength in
that section of the state “is really
surprising.” The distant rum
blings are just beginning to be felt,
1 leas, and later on, you will be
in a position to substitute “as
tounding” for “surprising.”—
Lawrenceville Herald.
The Journal claims that Hoke
is receiving many flattering let
ters. Returned unopened, possi
bly.—Wadley Star.
It begins to look Brown all
along the line. If Fulton county
don’t go for Joe Brown it will
most. The governor is now try
ing to explain that there are no
drastic laws against the railroads.
\V e publish this week Joe Brown’s
platform, and it’s just, what the
people want. It is sane and con
servative. They have given .Jo
seph M. Brown the name of “Lit
tle Joe,’ and he has adopted that
name lor his race. His campaign
buttons will say “Little Joe.” A
gentleman from Athens, who has
just visited south Georgia, tells ns
that it is strange but true, that
the entire country ovey which he
has been is wild for “Little Joe.”
The Atlanta Journal devotuTP its
entire editorial page Sunday try
ing to show what Hoke Smith 1ms
done, and that lie is not responsi
ble for the panic, and showing up
Joe Brown, yet it considers
Brown’s candidacy a joke.—
Clarke County Courier.
Ralph is back on the job, and
gee, but don’t his writings sound
natural! Ralph’s big blustering
claims helped considerably in
Hoke's other campaign, but now
that all the promises have been
cust aside unfulfilled, we ure wait
ing to see what kind of a recep
tion the big promiser will receive
on his second round of the state.
There seems to ho considerable
diversity of opinion as to Gover
nor Hoke’s popularity at this
time. Occasionally we hear a
voter say he will vote for Hoke
because he is entitled to a second
term. Quite often we hear men
say the voted for Hoke once, but
will never do so again. Then,
there are thousands of voters who
do not appear to be interested m
the scrap as yet.—Nashville Her
ald.
Take care! “Little Joe” may
he changed to “Governor Joe,”
and some folks who now “dream
dreams and see visions,” will
awake to a reality that will be
really painful.—Fort Gaines Sen
tinel.
/
If the reports of the traveling
men and the polls taken are
“pointers” there is to be another
land slide on June 4th for “Little
Joe’ that will .equal, if not sur
pass, the one for Hoke Smith two
years ago. — Henry County
Weekly.
Joseph M. Brown has put him
self on record as favoring prohibi
tion and being opposed to the
saloon; we did not doubt that this
was his real position nut we are
glad that lie has announced this
to the public as we holievd that an
effort was being made to throw
the campaign issue of^of •refawm’
where it properly belongs, t* pro
hibition where it does not belong.
—Cordele Rambler.
Hoke tells the people the panic
is about over. When people are
prosperous they know it without
being told about it. The infor
mation we have run against leads
us to believe a majority of the
voters here favor Joe Brown for
governor. We have heard several
Smith men say they are sorry
they voted for him.—Fort Valley
Leader.
/
Hoke Smith has discovered that
lie has been giving the people re
form medicine in too large and
drastic doses. They are up and
in rebellion. Douglas has organ
ized a Joseph M. Brown club. Go
thou and do likewise; let’s make
a strong pull and a pull altogeth
er for a return of prosperity.—
Willacoochee Sun.
Little Joe’s campaign manager
is named Smith. So, if there’s
anything in u name he’s got ’em
coming and going.—Columbus
Sun.
Brown campaign.—Rome Tribune
Herald.
Notice that, the people in differ
ent parts of the state are going
straight ahead electing a legisla
ture to fit the Joe Brown platform.
—Wavcross Herald.
The Augusta Hevald hns dis
covered that the letter k inserted
in Little Joe’s name will make the
word “joke.” By the same token,
had the AugiiHta Sherlock Holmes
thought of it, the name of some
one else is easily transformed
from Smith to “myth.”—Colum
bus Sun.
The governor should be welcom
ed to Wavcross and extended ev
ery courtesy to which his exalted
position entitles him without
toadyism. The governor has
evidently found out that lie has
dropped his candy in this section
hut his friends should not break
the whole truth to him at once.—
Waycross Herald.
Tom Watson explains his deser
tion of the “adminislrationi” by
saying that ho only joined hands
with Governor Smith for the pur
pose of eliminating the negro from
politics. After that was accom
plished the tacit agreement was
that Watson juid Smith were to
go each their own way. The part
ing of the ways has come u trille
sooner than expected.—Americas
Times-Recorder.

us saying in Macon, on his way
home from Savannah Saturday,
that the opposition to his nomi
nation for another term whs
making a good deal of noise, but
that it was not very formidable
and wa3 not organized. Maybe
so. But it is getting organized
