ASSISTING HIS ROYAL RIVAL |
The Duke of Braganza, of the royal line formerly on the throne of Portu
gal and the chief pretender to that throne,, has decided to help his rival, ex
King Manuel, in his efforts to regain his kingdom. It is supposed he and
Manuel made some agreement by which the latter should recognize as his
heir the duke s son, Dom Manuel, whose wife was Anita Stewart, an American
heiress.
as well as the fact that he was in the
midst of a race of his own he refused
to take up the Wilson banner and
summon his friends under it.
“Anyway, it happened that the sup
port of the Atlanta Journal and of
the Hoke Smith faction, both of which
are said to haye been promised to
Hudson, was not forthcoming, and as
long as he went, he went it practical
ly alone.”
It is said that when the Hoke Smith
leaders first went to Hudson to in
duce him to enter the race for Gov
ernor they had some difficulty in pull
ing him over. Hudson couldn’t see
it, exactly, though he was in the
mood as the result of certain political
developments and he argued about it.
THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER.
TOM HARDWICK
EAGER TO MARE
GOVERNOR’S RACE
ANNDIINCCHENT IS EXPECTED
Would Heccive Support of
Smith Faction
Atlanta, June 10. —Circumstances
surrounding the withdrawal of Thomas
G. Hudson, former commissioner of
agriculture, from the race for gov
ernor have proven, perhaps, the most
sensational development in Georgia
politics this year, and politicians are
still speculating what it all means.
The name of Congressman Thomas
William Hardwick, of the Tenth dis
trict, has been prominently connected
with the denouement and one report
has it that Mr. Hardwick’s desire to
make the race for governor himself
had something to do with the turn
things have taken.
In fact there are those who are pre-'
dieting that the next step will b«|
Hardwick’s announcement in the race
Mr. Hudson and his friends seek
to create the impression that he has
it in for nobody, unless it be for some
of those “higher up” who, he thinks,
were really responsible for his down
fall.
Mr. Hudson feels confident hecouH
have won the race for congress in
the Third and wanted to stay there
his friends say, but he listened to
the voice of the “tempter,” and decid
ed to make a try at the race tor gov
ernor, getting out of it just in time
to save his farm.
That he will have something to say
in future regarding the manner in
which he was brought into the race
question; and it is even reported that
Mr. Hudson, before long, will make
a full public statement of the whole
political fiasco.
Persistent reports are abroad that
the Hoke Smith faction having got
ten rid of Hudson, will seek at once
to get another candidate into the race.
In this connection three names are
prominently mentioned: Chairman C.
M. Candler, of the state railroad com
mission; Attorney General T. S. Fel
der and Congressman T. W. Hardwick,
of the Tenth, all three good Hoke ‘
Smith leaders.
Mr. Candler is the man the Hok-a
Smith faction really wanted to make
the race in the first place, but in ad
vance of Hudson’s announcement he
gave out a statement to the effect that
lie would not run. but would remain
on ther ailroad commission.
Finally, the report has it, they piled
Ossa on Pelion, and promised him not ‘
only the support of the Journal and
the Smith faction, but substantial
financial backing for his campaign, to
the extent, some people say, of $25,-
000
Convention Was Last Blow.
They were eager to beat Jack Sla
ton and they thought Hudson was the
man to do it. Hudson had built up
what was thought to be a splendid
political machine all over the state
through the patronage of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, appointing hun
dreds of fertilizer and oil inspectors;
he had been about the state lectur
ing on agricultural fopics, shaking
bands and making friends; he had al
igned himself with the Hoke Smith
faction, although he started out in
politics on the other side. Altogether
it looked as if he were the fan to beat
Slaton and he was picked for the task
j At any rate, it is said, Mr. Hudson
did not give up hope until after the
meeting ot' the presidential state con
vention in Atlanta on May 29. It is
said that right up to this convention
he had hoped that something would
happen which would throw him the
support of Tom Watson. If the con
vention had antagonized Watson and
thrown him out, as the Wilson press
endeavored to make it do, there migh:
have been some foundation for Hud
son’s hope in this direction. But the
situation was harmonized and Hudson
was confronted by hoplessness.
Hg did not fail, however, to remind
his backers of their promises of fin
! .Tnc : al success. It is said he spent
t practically all of his own ready cash.
’ then went to them for money to con
tinue his campaign.
It was then he was told, as the
story goes, that they had spent all the
i
, money they had collected, in the effov*
to carry Georgia for Woodrow Wilson
and that there was none left for him
and the, “Go mortgage your littl°
larm” reply that bids fair to become
lamous in Georgia politics, followed
He Sared His Farm.
Mr. Hudson decided that if he never
became governor he would not put a
burden on his farm. He refused to do
. it and got out of the race
So far the names of fifteen Atlan
tans, who participated in the Hudson
conferences, have come out. The
names of those who put Hudson in
the race as furnished by one of his
leading supporters, are Judge George
Hiliyer, railroad commissioner; Shel
by Smith, former oil inspector ap
pointed by Hudson; C. H. Kelley,
wholesale grocer, Reuben Arnold, at
’ 'orney; W', Woods White, insurance
