STOP NAGGING IlOKE SMITH.
Hoke Smith has announced that he
will not be a candidate for Governor
.again. That he had a splendid oppor
tunity to get into the race if he had
been inclined to do so and that he would
have made it interesting for any other
candidate, present or prospective, will
not bo questioned by well-informed men
who are disposed to be fair toward him,
whether they would have heon amongst
his political supporters or not. If this
bo a fair statement of the situation, are
not those partisan newspapers of the
State that are directing unkind, nag
ging paragraphs at Mr. Smith making
a tactical mistake? When he entered
the gubernatorial rucc four years ago
it was in response to a challenge or
dare.—Albany Herald.
The Herald is quite right in this, us
it is in most matters political.
Mr. Smith did his party and the State
•a service by declining to become a
party to another contest for the Gov
ernorship. His candidacy at this time
would have evoked bitter opposition
from the anti-Smith faction, and,
whatever the motive that impelled him
to deny his friends the privilege of
again voting for him in a contest for
the Governorship, his action will un
doubtedly have a trnnquilmng effect
upon State politics, The assumption
that Mr, Smith feared a second defeat,
as has been insinuated by some of the
more rabid anti-Smith newspapers, is
ridiculous. Ho is made of sterner
stuff, and had ho entered the lists we
have no doubt would linve ridden to a
fall as manfully bb he would have gone
to certain victory.
But that is neither here nor there.
Mr. Smith is not now a candidate for
Governor, nor is he likely to be, and
the critics should let him alone. In
striking contrast to the nags and
jabs aimed at Mr. Smith by the
anti-Smith newspapers since his de
clination, it is pleasing to note that
many of the Smith papers have adopt
ed on entirely different tone, and in
in the interest of party harmony not
only approve Mr. Smith’s course in de
clining to again become a candidate,
but Borne of them frankly state that
Gov. Brown should bo re-elected, and
spoult most highly and approvingly of
his administration. We quote from a
few of the nowspnpers that have been
strong supporters of Mr. Smith, both
Jn and out of oflice, viz:
Sandersvillo Herald: “Hoke Smith’s
declination to make the race for Gov
ernor this year has been hailed with
relief both by his friends and oppo
nents."
Griffin Herald: “With Mr. Smith out
•of the race, the Smith vote will be di
vided, and it is reasonable to expect
Mr. Brown to secure u majority of the
Smith votes, with two candidates in the
.race.”
Alpharetta Free Press: “Hoke Smith
did a wise thing when ho refused to of
fer for Governor this year. The Free
Press would have been for him world
without end if he had entered the race,
but wo did not care to Bee the State
torn into factions again."
■ Savannah Press: “There are some
sensible suggestions in the State press
about the Governorship. A good many
of them say that Gov. Brown should be
allowed to have a second term without
opposition. He has mude a good Gov
ernor, and the precedent has been to
re-elect a man his own successor. This
would spare the State the upheaval of
a political campaign, and would be bet
ter not only for the politicians, but for
tho State government and for the peo
ple."
And so on. Surely, the anti-Smith
papers cannot afford to be outdone in
courtesy and friendliness by the Smith
press. The latter have extended the
olive branch, and we would be foolish
not to accept it. We desire more than
anything just now a united party and a
peaceful campaign.

night and day, each determined not to
be outstripped by the other, and care
fully concealing from “the other fel
low” what ho or she is doing. The
contest thus far has been characterized
by the utmost good feeling, and we are
sure it will so continue until the close.
This is as it should be.
Meanwhile, the coming two weeks is
going to be a mighty busy time with
the candidates, and The Herald and Ad
vertiser wishes them well, one and all.
The Herald and Advertiser’s great
prize voting contest will close on Sat
urday, June 11—two weeks from to
morrow. Much can be accomplished in
a fortnight, and, judging from the ac
tivity of the candidates and their
friends, the finish will be an exciting
one. In fact, the entire connty is in
terested in the contest, and every move,
each new development, is eagerly noted
by the onlookers. As for the candi
dates themselves, they are working
nate for Congress. He doesn’t pick his
man and advise his followers whom
they should vote for. . He just lambasts
the other fellow.”
Col. Hewlette A. Hall, chairman of
the State Democratic Executive Com
mittee, haB called a meeting of the
committee for June 4, in Atlanta, to
fix a date for the State primary and to
adopt rules for same.
Tho next session of the North Geor
gia Conference will be held at Athens,
beginning Nov. 18. Bishop Wilson
will preside.
Macon Telegraph: “Georgia Demo
crats need a get-together campaign.
There has been enough of rowing and
rumpus-making."
The Charlotte Observer quotes Hon
Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Con
stitution and the Georgia member of
the National Democratic Committee, as
saying recently that Roosevelt, if nom
inated for the Presidency is 1912,
"would carry at least five Southern
States, including Georgia." We don’t
believe Mr. Howell said any such thing;
but if, in a careless mood, he did make
such a silly prediction, it will not he
verified. Roosevelt stands no more
chance of carrying Georgia as a candi
date for President on the Republican
ticket than he has of being translated.
If Mr. Howell made the remark at
tributed to him he is not only a poor
prophet, but a very queer sort of Dem
ocrat.
