SENATOR SMITH RECEIVED
WITH GREAT ENTHUSIASM
DISPASSIONATE REVIEW OF
SEVEN YEARS SERVICE
STRIKES RESPONSIVE CHORD.
Heard by Several Hundred Voters,
: Sl 2
Who Showed Approval by Fre
guent Applause. Old Supporters
Renewed Allegiance.
United States Senator Hoke Smith
addressed the voters of Terrell coun
ty vesterday, and was heard by sev
eral hundred people. The seats in the
supreme court room were all occupied,
and many in the audience were com
pelled to stand. He was introduced by
Mr. R. R. Jones, and discussed fully
every phase of the senatorial cam
paign in a calm, forceful manner that
carried conviction and made a deep
impression. |
Although the hour was early ai
large delegation of 25 or more promi- |
nent citizens were at the railroa_df
station to meet Senator Smith on his |
arrival. : :
Senator Smith made it clear, in his|
preliminary remarks, that he is seek- |
ine re-clection to the senate as a dem-|
ocrat. standing squarely on the San|
Francisco . platform and behind the
presidential nominees of his party.
His laudatory references to the plat
form. to Governor Cox and to his
speech of acceptance struck a respon
sive chord that removed all doubt as
to the sympathies of his hearers. He
outlined the views of the twenty-three
democratic senators who favored res
ervations to the league that will pro
tect American interests and institu
tions, when reservations, he pointed
out, were approved by Govenor Cox,
in his speech of acceptance, i
Free From Personalities. o)
The crowd was especialy struck)
with the even temper and fine spirit of |
Senator Smith's address, which wasi
marked by its freedom from personal
“’os and abusive comment respecting
his opponents and critics in Georgia,
excepting only a reference to the At
lanta Constitution, which provoked
laughter and applause. |
“Of course, I know you don't believe !
what you read in the Atlanta Consti
tution regarding myself and my candi
dacy,” said Senator Smith. “The At
lanta Constitution doesn’ like me and
you gcod people of Terrell county
partly are responsible for its bitter
ness and hostility. You helped me to
defeat Clark Howell in his race for
governor in 1906, and the Atlanta Con
stitution has never forgiven me. Its
unfriendly comments date from the de- |
feat of its editor and its hostility has
been unceasing. It never publishes

lthe truth in matters concerning me.
r Reiterating his willingness to meet
IThomas E. Watson in a series of
| joint debates he also expressed a de
| sire that Governor Dorsey appmnt a
i committee to confer with his repre
sentatives concerning joint discus
sions between them.
' After expressing h.s pleasure at
iseeing so many familiar faces and
{voicing his interest 1n the devel
iofimem of Dawson and Terrell county,
ISenator Smith launched immediately
into a discussion of the live questions
‘of the campaign. He rgviewed the
record of the democratic party I
l Washington. |
| Federal Reserve Bank.
’ In connection with his discussion ofi
the federal reserve currency act aqd
the establishment of a regional bank in
Georgia, Senator Smith dwelt upon the
importance of this great measure to|
‘the merchants, farmers and manufac
turers of the state. He illuminated_
ihuw the law has operated to relieve |
lihe south from the clutches of the
iznnncy barons of the east ar}d thus en- |
able the farmers to receive a fa.ri
!priu for their cotton. :
| The senator told of how the rural
credit legislation was designed to af- |
ford cheap money for the farmers of |
the nation, and thus enable those oth
erwise unable to do so to acquire their
own farms. He recounted the opposi
tion of certain big interest to the leg-
Niation and told of the litigation that
has been instituted in the courts in
the hope of having it declared uncon
stitutional. The interests engaged In
this unworthy business, “the senator
<aid, are intefests who heretofore have
fattened on the high rates they have
charged the farmérs. e expressed |
the belief that the attack in the courts
is doomed to failure, and that very
soon the provisions of the law again
w:ll be in operation.
Discussing the legislation extending
£sdoral aid to the several states in the
construction of good roads, Senator
Smith told of the unsuccessful effort
that has been made in congress to de
-7 DAWEON NEWS: = .
ny such states as Georgia the right
to use as a credit asset the labor of
felony convicts on public highways.
He recounted his activity in the defeat
of this provision, which would have
denied Georgia the benefit of partici
pation in the big fund.
’ Will Protect State.
~ “You may rest assured that so long
as I remain in the senate of the Uni
ted States the interests of the state of
‘Georgia in this regard are safe,” de
clared the senator. “We are entitled
;to our proportion of thfs good roads
fund and we are entitled to get credit
for the value of the labor our convicts
'give.”
- Senator Smith spoke of the congres
sional reapportionment that will fol
low the census report, and dwelt upon
the imporfance of the south and to
Georgia_ of this re-apportionment law.
He told of the republican objections
to the southern suffrage laws that
protect our white _civilization and
guarantee white supremacy.
“Our southern statas,” he said, in
|substance, “have shown a substantial
growth in population during the last
I decade, and in the ordinary course of
levents Georg‘a should be entitled to
additional representation in congress.
The republican leaders in congress,
he predicted, would seek to change the
basis of representation in congress
from the actual population to register
ed voting strength, the idea being to
deny Georgia and other southern
states the répresentation to which they
are actually and fairly entitled and
to increase the representation of
states whose suffrage laws permit in
discriminate voting.
~ In connection with this aspect of the
reapportionment Senator Smith told of
the Moses resolution, now pending in
the senate, providing for an investiga
tion of the suffrage laws of the south.
He stated that he is on the subcom
mittee to which this resolution hls
been referred, and he gave his word,
amid applause, that it iad and would
continue to have his whole-souled op
position, which thus far has proved ef
fective.
Senator Smith discussed his activi
ty in the interest of cotton in the try- |
'ing pre-war days, when the price ofl
cotton slumped to almost nothing. ,Ité
was apparent that the crowd recogniz- |
ed and appreciated the work of Mr.|
Smith concerning th.s staple, and.hls}
remarks relating thereto were rr;c!vedi
with enthusiasm. A
Coming to the war, Senator Smith
told of his support of the shipping bill,
the declaration of war on Germany,
the selective service act, the big war
appropriations and bond issues and!
his service on the military committee,
by special appointment. He discussedl
at length the reasons for many of the
important pieces of war legislation andi
remarked upon the effectiveness with
‘which they met the situation. l
Desire for Service.
Concluding his speech Senator Smithl
made a stirring appeal for harmony |
and good fellowship, coupled with an
expression of his desire to serve the
people of Georgia. He declared that
service to one’s fellowman is one of
the greatest pleasures of life, and that
his candidaty for re-election ig pitch
ed upon the confidence that bis experi
ence in public affairs and in Washing
ton fits him to render a real service to
the people of Georgia.
“We can't agree about everything,”
he said. *“All of us are human, and
be ng human we are fallible. Mis
takes all of us have made. I know 1
have erred, but I have never commit
ted an error that was not prompted by
what I conscientiously believed to be
the right thing.
“I believe I have been of service to
the people of Georgia. I know that
my experience in Washington and in
public affairs fits me to be of further
ervice to Georgia. If I didn’t feel
that I could serve the people 1
wouldn’t seek any office.
“Service, to my way of thinking, un
elfish service for one’s fellowman, s
the greatest joy in life, and it is Dbe
cause I want to serve you that I am
offering for re-election to the gsen
ate.”
Many Pledge Support.
Senator Smith’s speech made a deep
impression on all who heard it, and
about the streets after the meeting
words of commendation were heard on
all s'des. His old friends and support
ers in former campaigns, some of
whom opposed him in the presidential
contest in this state, crowded around
him and renewed their allegiance
Many others who had never supported
him declared they would vote for him
for re-elect’en. Every one conceded
that the speech strengthened his can
didacy in Terrell County.
