HOKE SMITH IS LOOKING
AFTER NEXT LEGISLATURE
SCIII Scanning Registration, Uni Na
Longer to ltun For Governor.
i Atlanta, Ga., June 16, — The per
. sistent rumors to the effect that for
, liter Governor Hoke Smith may yet
- get into the race for governor de,
- spite his two refusals to run, do not
[ seem to be well founded, accord ng
• to a close friend of the governor.
“No, that is settled," Governor Smitl.i
is reported to have said. “I do not
propose to get into the race under any
circumstanqes.”
“But there are rumors all, over the
state connecting your name with the
race, many still believing you are
going to ruu,” his friend suggested.
“I am well aware of that fact,” the
former governor replied. “It would
seem that there are some people who
do not believe what T say. I put it :n
language as plain as I knew how that
I could not make the race for certain
reasons, and there j£ the end of it."
The gentleman quoted stated that
Mr. Smith was very emphatic in his
statement, and he felt satisfied th'i.
Mr. Smith had never even considered
entering , the race since he published
his first statement to the effect that
he could not do so.
When a man lets his wh'iskers grow
after marr'age his wife suspects that
he doesn’t love h?r any more.
The reason egotists are the most
cheerful people in the world is that
tlvey are so well satisfied with thenj
selrea.
