IN GREAT CLUB OFFER

Several Candidates Expected to Make Strong
Showing in the Contest.
SMITH
RUN.
Notwi UiBtandingf the strong convic
tion that has prevailed for some monthB
that Hon. Iloko Smith would oppose
Gov. Jos. M. Brown for re-election, he
has Ret all doubts on this subject at
rest by announcing positively and final
ly that he will not bo in the race. This
decision was announced in a statement
given lo the press Saturday afternoon,
arid was in answer to numerous solici
tations received from his friends and
supporters in different sections of the
State. Mr. Smith’s statement is as
follows:
“During the past two weeks 1 have
received requests in various forms urg
ing me to enter the race for Governor,
and convincing me that an extended
movement has begun to cause my can
didacy for that office.
“While I deeply appreciate the pur
poses of those engaged in this move
ment, as 1 cnnnot see my way clear at
this time to become a candidate I wish
to snare them useless trouble.
“But for the conviction that certain
legislation then in the public mind was
absolutely necessary to the permanent
welfare of the people of the State, I
would not have entered the first race.
The second race was precipitated be
fore I had been in office nine months,
and I entered it from a sense of duty.
"Before the close of my two years as
Governor the important measures for
which the contest of 1900 wbb made had
been accomplished, and the principles
embodied in them will remain the poli
cy of the State.
“If my individual preferences alone
were involved I would yield them with
out hesitation, and comply with any
call upon mo by that Rplendid body of
men who stood together so loyally in
190(1 and again in 1907 for the reforms
in question, and who wont down with
me in the Inst election before forces of
opposition which 1 do not believe can
again be combined.
“But thore are other reasons of a
personal nature which prevent my en
tering a heated political contest at the
present time.
“While I cnnnot now consent to en
ter the race for Governor, 1 wiBh toas-
suro my friends and fellow-citizens of
the regret it causes me not to comply
with their wishes, and of my readiness
out of office to serve them in uny way
possible. 1 shall be ready at all times
to take active part in the support of
measures which will promote good gov
ernment whenever tne opportunity is
givon.”
Disappointed nt Mr. Smith’s refusal
to again stand for election ns the oppo
nent of Gov. Brown in the pending
cumpaign, nnd hoping to persuade ’him
to reconsider his decision, numerous
petitions werg circulated the first of
the week asking him to waive all ob
jections nnd obstacles and allow
friends to ngain put him before
people ns n candidate for Governor,
answer to these appeals Mr. Smith
sued on Wednesday the following addi
tional statement—
“I have received during the past two
days many letters und telegrams from
different parts of the State urging me
to reconsidor the announcement that I
could not be a candidate for Governor.
I am deeply grateful for the kind ex
pressions of my friends, but before
making the statement last Saturday 1
gave tne subject serious thought. The
reasons which caused me to decline to
enter the race are such that I cannot
alter the decision then made. ’ If my
friends fully understood these reasons
they would not criticise my action, and
1 sincerely hope they will attach no
blame to my course, as ft distresses me
very much to know I cnnnot do as they
wish.’’
This of course eliminates Mr. Smith
from further consideration as a candi
date for the Governorship, and hll in
terest centers now on Gov. Brown,
who has given no intimation as yet
whether he will be in the race to suc
ceed hitnaelf or not. It has been sug
gested a number of times recently that
if Mr. Smith declined to run Gov-
Brown might, in the interest of party
harmony, follow his example and de
cline also to offer for election. Wheth
er he will adopt this course remains to
be seen, although it is strongly believed
by many of his friends that he will run
and that his announcement will be
forthcoming immediately following the
meeting of the State Executive Com
mittee, which will probably be called
together early in June.
Other prominent Georgians spoken of
as possible candidates, (whether Gov,
Brown does or does not run,) are Judge
ltichard B. Russell, of the Court of Ap
peals, Dr. L. G. Hardman, of Jackson
county, nnd Comptroller-General Wm
A. Wright. Thus fur no definite ex
pression has come from any of these
gentlemen, except a statement from
Judge Russell that he would announce
early in June. He is also quoted as
saying that a thirty-day campaign
would be all the time needed to beat
Gov. Brown, if the latter should offer
for re-election—which seems to indi
cate that the jovial Judge is as flippant
and flamboyant as he was in the cal
low days of his earlier campaigns,
, We are sincerely glad that another
contest between Smith and Brown has
been averted. It would have been
bitter fight from the outset, and in the
•end the party of the Democracy would
have been the chief sufferer. For one,

“Work, for the night is coming.”
That’s a grand old sentiment, in a
grand old hymn. And we trust the
readers of The Herald and Advertiser
will pardon us if, for the purpose of il
lustration, we apply it to this great
81,000 contest. Because, you see, it
fits so elegantly into what has been
preached for the last ten days regard
ing this great bonus offer.
Saturday evening at 8 o'clock it will
have ended. That’s rightwork, for
the night is coming.” At 8 o’clock
Saturday evening the greatest opportu

Smith-Brown contest in Georgia.
