. Petersburg, Sept., 20.—St. Pet

The government hns threatened **>

energies to tho campaign of clearing

SETS AT REST MANY RUMORS TO
CONTRARY.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 20. —Governor
Hoke Smith will vote for Governor-
elect Joe Brown for governor. Mr.
Smith gave out an Interview this
afternoon making this statement
and It will set at rest many rumors
that have flown fast to tile effect
that Mr. Smith would bolt th.e party
and refuse to support the man who
defeated him in the primary.
The announcement of Mr. Smith
reassures the stability of the whlt,e
primary In Georgia. His close
friends have entertained no other
Idea than that the Governor would
stick by the expressed will of the
!>eople, even though that will
expressed against him. Hls card,
therefore, comes with little surprise
to them, though it will bo like “mon
ey from home" to the opposition.”
The fight between Mr. Smith and
Mr. Brown at tho polls for the party
nomination was the hardest that has
i waged in Georgia for many
s. but Mr. Smith says hls fight
ing Is now over so far as the present
Urm is concerned.
It is further announced that Mr.
Smith will take the stump for Bryan
next month. Ho will speak in Mis
souri nnd other doubtful states, lend
ing all the weight of hls mighty elo
quence In behalf of the Nebraskan for
president.
