A HOKE SMITH MAN OFFEREJ^
RESOLUTIONS CALLING UPON
GOVERNOR TO TAKE UP SENA
TORIAL DUTIES.
Cartersrllle Ga. July 17—Politics
precipitated a battle royal on tbo
floor at the Georgia Weekly Press
Convention Saturday and for a few
momenta following a resolution call
ing upon Hoke Smith to resign as
chief 'executive of Georgia and go
at once to bis duties ns senator from
the Empire State of the South, tbe
fur flew.
Such contemptuoue words as 'Tit
tle low politics" were used and feel
ing demands for retractions were
made. The resolution in question
waB Introduced by W. Trox Bank
ston of West Point, one of Hoke
Smith's ardent followers, and ap
plause which greeted bis paper Indi
cated that a number of the delegates
were of hla way of thinking. Tbe
resolution follows In full:
"Resolved, that It Is tbe consen
sus of opinion of the members of the
Georgia Press Association that mat
ters now pending before the national
Congress are of paramount Import
ance, several Issues to be disposed
of within the next few weeks affect
ing the prosperity snd progress of
the nation and the success or fail
ure of the Democratic party for su
premacy In the next presidential
election.
"Be It therefore reaolved that
Gov. Smith, haring been honored by
being elected United States Senator
from Georgia, resign ae chief «xbb-
ntlve of the Empire State of the
South, and report for duty In Wash
ington at the earliest possible mo
ment If Georgia, the Southland De
mocracy and the people ever needed
representation In the Senate It Is
now, mnd Smith can render such
service as bin masterly Intellect, bis
oratorical ability and logical pre
sentations will command and thus
serve the best Interests of his con
stituency and the people who have
placed this great resposibtllty on his
shoulders. Now la the opportune
time, Washington Is the place, and
Senator Hoke Smith la the man to
come to the Immediate rescue of a
nation who loves and honors one or
the Southlands brainiest men."
Upon reading the resolution Mr.
Bankston was Informed by President
Hardy that political papere would be
referred to a committee on that spe
cial subject,' and that unless he mov
ed a suspension of lules It would
have to taka that course. .Mr. Bank
ston Immediately moved a suspen
sion of rules and further that his
resolution bo adopted . A spirited
discussion resulted In which the
words 'Tittle low politics" were used
by Clifford Grubb.
A lively discussion followed In
which many voices were raised and
which caused the gnval of the presi
dent to fall heavily, many times In
an attempt to procure order. The
resolution finally was sent to the ta
ble. although politics has been the
oue topic of the discussion here
since the gathering ot the editors
and notwithstanding that many of
the visitors are working for Govern-
or, yet there seems to he a well de
fined opposition to the Injection of
politics upon the floor ot the conven
tion.
