PRESS COMMENT ON THE
GUBERNATORIAL RACE.
Bright Paragraphs Culled From Exchanges All Over the State.
What Some of the Editors Have to Say.
During the campaign for GovSr
nor it is to be hoped that the
uters will keep m mind me fact
‘hat it is a Democratic custom to
oive two terms to the chief execu
tive of the State. In fact it is at.
uuwntten law; not binding, how
•ever, ex t )t mo a’ly. If a voter,
personally, does nut favor Mr.
stratiou and yet ^ t e
Smith’s a dm n
lieves that he has been, even ordi
narily a good executive, that man
should vote for his re-electiou.
Regardless of any minor issues,
unless particularly detrimental to
the well being of the State, the
present Governor has a prior lien
your vote. And besides tl i»
on
fact, the merit of his admimstra
tion surpasses any m the history.
of the State.—Sparta Ishmaelite.
The negroes are rushing to
register, they. tell us, to save
themselves from disfranchisement,
but it will do them no good. Hoke
Smith sounded the death knell or
negro politics in Georgia about two
vears ago, and we haven’t seen a
at the polls since. Thank
Miegro and incline to
God for that, we
thank Hoke too. If he did noth
ing else in all his life he would be
entitled to be classed among the
State’s benefactors.— Fitzgerald
Euterprise.
Shall we now, having driven the
ting politicians and corporation
ists frum the citadel, act like cow
:ards and give up the fight? If we
-do whiskey corporation and cotton
.gamblers will dominate our state
•politics for the next quarter jf a
century.—Calhound Times.
Honor to whom honor is due,
•and custom to whom custom is due,
is good doctrine, Let Hoke get
through with the work he has be
gun .—Rockdale Free Press.
Are there people m Georgia
want to ke. p the ballot in the ne¬
groe’s hand? White men who ward
to use him as a \oter. W hy yes,
the liquor people n. ed him; they
have used him to a great advuu
tage in a thousand elections, and
the whole shooting-match are for
Brown.—Fitzgerald Enterprise
Scratch the backs of most of
Joe Brown’s supporters arid you
will find an old time supporter one
of the other candidates in 1906, an
anti-prohibitionist, an old liquor
dealer, a railroad man or a loafer.
Now just try it.—Brunswick News
Governor Smith is only paving
the way to give every old soldier
in the state a good pension. Note
our statements, you old soldiers
whom they sought to deceive re¬
cently. Hoke is your best friend.
We know whereof we speak.—Vi
dalia Advance.
We are of the opinion that Geor¬
gia stood the panic as well as any
other state in the union and that
the stringency in money would
have come it Howell, Russell or
Estill had been governor, But
there are some disgruntled politi¬
cians and railroad corruptionists
who hate Hoke Smith worse than
they do the devil, think the farm¬
ers ignorant enough to believe that
Hoke Smith depressed the price of
c itton, lumber, turpentine and all
other commodities. The farmers
are not so ignorant as they sup
pose- Mr. Smith may have made
some mistakes, but he has done
more fur the farmer than any gov¬
ernor of recent years, and the far¬
mer should almost to the man vote
for him that he may complete the
reform he has inaugurated.—Cal¬
houn Times*
Hoke is now the same man as
when he was elected for governor,
THE ENTERPRISE, COVINGTON, GA
find the principles upon which he
was elected are the same.— If we
needed reform then, we need it
now. Just a few people have
changed—that is all —Conyers
Free Press.
A man who can’t take care of
his own money, is a poor f ell<>w to
be in charge of somebody else’s :
money. Joe Brown is said to hav
be°n turned out of the management
or his father’s nstatn, bz tiis own
brothers and sisters, because he
had squandered large quantities of
tleir money. Who wants him in
charge of four or five millions of
the state’s funds?—Sparta Ishuiae
life.
Says an exchange: “Gov. Smith
has been accused of being a rich
man. This is one ol the few things
that his enemies have accused him
of that he can plead guilty to.
Yes, he is supposed to he a wealthy
man, and we take it for granted that
it is true. He should be very
proud of this, for he went to At¬
lanta, years ago, a poor man, with¬
out money, friends or prestige; to¬
day, by his untiring energy and
natural ability ns a lawyer, has
become one of the wealthy men of
that city, besides, is hands’ occupying the
highest gift al the of the
people of this state. If these do
not speak for his ability, then there
is nothing to be gained hv a life of
labor and integrity, and all the Bi¬
ble—the blue-back spelling-book,
coupled with the teachings of our
parents, is false.
“Now, then, as to Mi. Browns’
wealth. He, too, is looked upon
as a wealthy man. It was esti¬
mated that his father was worth
several millions ot dollars at the
time of his death. This son, Jo¬
seph M., shared one fifth, and is
eviui«tlv a wealthier man than Mr.
Smith. Mr. Brown did not earn
his weal'h by the sweat of his
brow. Mr. Smith did—which de¬
serves the most credit 0 I have
heard it said, repeatedly, during
this campaign that Mr. Brown is
not worth as much now as at the
time of hie father’s death. If true,
it shows that ho is incapable of
handling large sums, and that he
is net the proper man to be put at
the head of a great corporation
like the state of Georgia, where
millions are looked after. Gov.
i-mith has shown his ability in this
line in so financing the state’s de
pleted treasury as to be able to
pay both the old soldiers and school
teachers. ’
