May u-The wash- Uyrton Post today publishes a column in terview with Gov. Hoke Smith, who •pent yesterday In Washington, en route to New York. The governor declined to express his preference for the Democratic nomination for president, though he Indi cated his belief that the Democrats will win the next election. He recommended the work of the Dem ocratic house of representatives, spoke in terms of praise of Senator Bacon's stand with reference to the Mexican situation, cleverly avoided allusions to Georgia politics and dwelt upon the de velopment of Georgia. The story in the Post says In part: “It will be time enough to make committals aa to the Democratic nomination of a presidential candidate early next year. That man should be selected as the Dem ocratic nominee for president In 1512 who can serve his country best and who, for that reason, can lead his party to vic tory." These quoted words came fro rathe lips of Hoke Smith ,of Georgia; Hoke Smith who was secretary of the interior during We second administration of President Cleveland; Hoke Smith who was elected governor of Georgia, defeated for a sec ond term, nominated a third time, and elected for a term soon to begin. The Hoke Smith of today, despite all the ti tles and honors that have been handed him. remains to ths south and to Dem ocrats of all sections, just the same big. manly Hoke Smith who has had his share ot newspaper comment and politi cal merry making. "It doesn't seem handy, even in Wash ington. to call him secretary’ or govern or, and plain Hoke continues to fit him among his friends. The Hoke Smith of today is 56 years old, and looks little more than 40. His atop in Washington was to confer with President Taft and to talk things over with Senator Bacon, of Georgia, for whom the Hon. Hoke has a warm admiration. "Naturally, it is suggested to We gov ernor each time he gladdens the capital, corridors with his breezy presence that he ought to be senator before he is much older, but he makes no answer save to tell of what he hopes to accom plish as governor. •The real, enthusiasm of Governor Smith gushed forth when he spoke of the present Democratic bouse ’of repre sentatives. 1 believe the sentiment of the ckisens of Georgia and of the sotuh generally commends unreservedly the oourse of the houses. We feel that those who were directly In charge of party affairs in the popular branch of congress are acting wisely and giving the country proof of the ability cf the, democratic party to handle the affairs of the nation wisely and well. •• 'What is more, 1 want ta commena the course of the majority tn the house in pirating principle above party when SAVANNAH PYTHIANS TO ATTEND CONCLAVE SAVANNAH.

I can add that in our state we approve the course of Senator Bacon, who has represented Georgia in the sen ate for 16 years, and has proved himself a valuable public servant We have no fear but th»t he will alm to do his best not only for Georgia, but for the whole country The attitude of Seantor Bacon toward the Mexican situation will also receive commendation in our start e. ■Turning aside from politics and con gress a minute.” continued Governor Smith. " I believe that the federal gov ernment ought to give Increased appro priations each year to the agricultural department rather than to the building of warships. To my mind, it will be of Infinitely greater value to the nation If the department of agriculture aids and instructs the tillers of the soil rather than th art the congress shall spend mil lions of dollars on the army and navy. "Down in Georgia we are developing our natural resources, and the state is destined to be one of the greatest con tributors to the prosperity and progress of the union. Soils once barren have been made to produce abundant harvest Lands worth $1 an acre ten years ago are now sold for JfiO. “We are building good roads all over Georgia and we are doing it with con vict labor. The use of the prison labor does not come in conflict with free labor of the workshop and the mills, and most of the convicts in our state are ne groes. It Is doing them good to work out doors, and they are doing the state a benefit that cannot be estimated in dol lars and cents. When I became governor the first time the prison tabor was han dled contractors, who made a hard fight to retain their profitable hold upon the prisoners for hard contract work un der cruel masters. I fonght to break up the contract system of using convict labor, and outside of the benefit derived by the state In the building of roads, there is a moral side which must not be overlooked. There is general commendation In Georgia of our-present humane treatment of convicts and naturally the building of roads will be appreciated all the more as the years go by. “Georgia Is prosperous, and we are proud to talk about it. We raise more cotton than any other state except Tex as. and our manufacturers are increas ing vear by year. We have mines In the interior; we have the Atlantic seaboard and ships carrying our products to ev ery port on earth, so why should we not be happy and hopeful?"
