SENATOR SMITH NOT
TAKING ANY PART
Sunday’s Savannah News pub
lished the following from its
Washington correspondent:
Washington, D. C., Feb. 21, —
Senator Hoke Smith and Repre
sentatives Lee and Howard re
turned to Washington late last
night. All three deocribed the
senatorial situation as complet
ely ‘ ‘up in the air” so far as
any forecast is concerned, Talk
in the state had confused those
wh) made predictions before
the / left for Washington.
( lose lriends of Senator Smith
declared today that he will not
have anything to do with the
fight for Senator Bacon’s seat or
with the gubernatorial campaign.
His campaign for re-election will
not be based, they say, on fac
tional lines but will be solely on
his record as senator. None of
the old issues will be revived, it
is said, nor will he be a party to
any factional line-up.
Those who have talked with
Senator Smith do not believe
either of ti e fights will be fac
tional or along state lines. They
say he will rely solely on his re
rd in the Senate and on the
argument that two new senators
would not be for the best inter
ests of the state.
