A Western paper suggests that
8 11 <Innking men be force<] to wear
badges. That’s not necessary at all.
The Joe Brown papers in Georgia
ar«- still very chesty over their re

gugges ions from the “opposition ”
It is sta’ed that Mr. Bryan’s pa

By Rev. Alexander W. Bealer, in Atlanta Cosmopolitan, June 24, 1918.
Yesterday Governor Fred r rick J. other piper published at Macon,
Tin- o/'urt of appeals’ ruling on
the legitimate club not a public
pace, made the mixed drinks taste
tnoie secure last week, but the <k-
Paxon signed the bill passed by
the legislature 1 tst week to pur
chase the home of ex-President
Hcke Smith, on West P*aehtree
street ana te use it as a memorial
hall to commemorate the services ot
that distinguished statesman to the
commonwealth o. Georgia. It is an
houorworthily bestowed and one that
meets the hearty appoval of the
best people of the state regardless
of political preferences.
How true is it that time plays
manv pranks upon the people! fids
may be seen when we remind onr
readers that ye&ieiday wa* the fifti
eth anniversary of the famous ; <».
litical guttering that met to nom
inate Joseph M. Brown tor governor
of the state, to succeed lloke Smith
whom he defeated alter a term of
, one year in office. It has come
| dawn in history es “The u.iii.d
| Man’s Convention,” a name which
j we can see at this distance was very
! justly earned aid aptly given It
th • n ime of which we canacl recall
at ihis time, actually claimed, so we
are informed by an ancient polite*
cian, that Hoke Smith was resporn*
si de for the panic o f 1907 which
was sweeping all over the world.
Many o! the men who attended t r at
that convention and who took a
very active part in the defeat of
Hoke Smith actually believed it. It
ifc hard to see at this time hew men
with real sound judgment could be
affected hy such a silly claim as
ai.d manag 'd with great ability the
campaign that '"called Hoke Smith
1 from bis law office to be a candidate
for the United States Senate in
1914. That was possibly the most
brilliantly conducted campaign in
the history ot Georgia politics.
None the lees brilliant was the race
made by E. H. Calloway, who was
governor for two years, having been
elected to that office on a platfonm
embodying aV the principles enun
ciated by Hoke Smith in his race
for the governor’s office. Judge
Calloway was in the Blind Man’s
Convention but he had his eyes

Looking back upon that campaign
today we can see bow these men
were blinded bv the shrewdness ot
the railroad magnates and tbe cor
poration km sis For many years
the corpoiations had dominated the
politics of the state ot Creorgia and
they had pretty much their own
way until in l90ti Hoke Smith, who
had been in the c-a met of President
Grovei Cleveland, annouced himself
as a candidate for the governor’s
cha r. Alter a most exciting cam
paign he was elected by an over
whelming majority over a number
of distinguished opponents. The
men at the head o! the corporation*
began at once to accomplish the
overthrow of the governor, the only
man who had ever succeeded in
blocking them to any appreciable
exten*. They stopped work on cer
tain improv meats they had been
making, some of them took money
from the banks of Georgia and sent

extent that, ee figured out that he.
had lost just ten thousand dollars
within five years Irom the time of
the election of Mr. Brown, that
much having gone out ol his pock

became genuinely penitent and was
one of the strongest supporters of
trie po icies ot Hoke Smith. From
this his distinguished son inherited
the principles that placed him in the
governor’o office and gave Geo/gia
one ol the best governors she ever
had.
