There is some satisfaction in 'know

Twiggs County Citizen.
Opinion iB, of course, divided as to
who will win. It is almost certain,
however, that the campaign will be re
plete with sensational features. ' ‘Watch
the way the wind blows.' ’
Millodireville News,
Tlie State will witness probably the
greatest campaign in its history, with
chances favoring the former Governor
by a large majority. A largo Smith
club will be organized here at once.
ColumbuB Ledger.
The campaign will no doubt be fought
out on the same issues which charac
terized the lust contest between these
two men, and it iB likely that similar
methods will be employed in conducting
the race.
Galneavllle Herald.
It is presumed that both sides have
lost some votes. There are Borne who
will yet take the matter up in their
own minds and determine whether or
not they want a change, and upon these
men’s action will hang the result of the
election. These are the men who hold
the balance of power in Georgia.
Waycro9s Herald.
The probability is that something
else has happened to bring about a
change in Mr. Smith’s mind. What
that something is we don’t assume to
know. Can it be anything in national
politics? Has Mr. Smith' an ambition
to be a Vice-Presidential candidate?

Brown had attacked Mr. Smith’s poli

HawklnBvlMe Dispatch.
They tried Mr. Smith two years, and
will have tried Gov. Brown the same
J^qgth of time when he serves out his
present term, which endB nearly a year
hence. They have a vivid recollection
of how they fared under the Smith ad
ministration, and they know pretty well
how they are getting along now under
the Brown administration.
Campbell County News.
Gov. Brown’s message was lacking
in patriotic zeal, assaulting the reform
measures enacted during the Smith ad
ministration; and the- friends of those
measures, from every section of the
State, made such a demand that he
c mid no longer decline. Thousands of
Georgians hope to see him triumph on
Aug.' 23 with a majority that will no
longer leave any doubt.
Nashville (Ga.' Herald.
The Hoke Smith people here say
Hoke’s decision was the result of Gov.
Brown’s challenging message. Mr.
Smith will get practically the same sup
port here that he received in 1908. Of
course, there will be a few “conver
sions” both ways, but,/so far as we
can see, it will be the same old fight
over again, ai|d the Brownites expect
to make Berrien the banner county
again.
Augusta Herald.
The evident purpose of the present
administration to undo all the reform
work that had been accomplished was
what determined Hoke Smith at last to'
enter the race. Gov. Brown’s annual
message left no doubt of this purpose,
and it was this purpose so plainly re.
vealed which caused renewed and
stronger efforts to be made to get
Hoke Smith to enter the rice, and
which convinced him that it was his
duty to accept the call made upqn him
Rome Tribune.
The Tribune-Herald’s editors sup.
ported Mr. Brown in 1908, and in the
absence of new issues, or new light on
the subjects at controversy, expect to
do so again this year. They shall en
deavor, however, not to be offensively
partisan'to people of any view, in mat.
ters either State or local. Moreov* r,
they shall pursue their policy of giving
all of the news of the campaign with
out bias or favoritism to any interest,
and to deal with absolute fairness to
all factions.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
Gov. Brown is far more popular to
day than he was in 1908. It is proba
bly true that in his race that year many
voted for him, not so much because
they were in favor of Brown, as be
cause they were opposed to Hoke
Smith and his policies. Now, however,
he will receive many more thousand
votes, for he has grown in popularity
with the people because he haB made
friends for himself, due to the fact that
he has given the State a safe, .wfee and
conservative administration.
Brunswick News.
ThejNews believes that the people of
Georgia are ready to undo the'great
wrong, the serious Injustice, that they,
U />,, w r. f knafrvi nnJ lUvnimh n Anm .
palgn of misrepresentation, worked
upon thiB great Georgian, (Smith,) in
the last campaign—and a most unholy
one' it was, in which a peculiar condi
tion existed, and which was turned and
twisted to deceive and mislead those
who find it difficult to-. see the light.
However, we shall not fight that buttle
over again; its record and its result are
known to all men; and it has left on
the political battlefield of Georgia
wounds so deep that they can never be
healed save in the righting of this
wrong!
Tlfton Gnzettu.
Jdr. Smith is umbitiouB to go to the
United States Senate. This he has ex
pressed publicly, and is laudable in any
man. All the honor and advancement
that can hegiven him by the Governor’s
office he already has. Therefore, he
had much to risk and nothing to gain
by being a candidate this year. Success
would give him no added preBtige,
while defeat would be a political catas
trophe. The issues are clearly drawn.
Mr. Smith is the strongest man the
element in the party supporting his
policies can put forward. He is the
only one that stands a chance to win.
While The Gazette regrets a bitter po
litical campaign this year, yet the
sooner it is over with, the better for
the people of the State.
Dublin Courier-Dlapatch.
Without reference to the result,
whatever it may be, we are truly sorry
that Georgia is to be tom asunder by a
heated political campaign. Against his
better judgment, contrary to three
positive statements that he would not
do so, Hon. Hoke Smith has been
dragged into the gubernatorial cam
paign, and a bitter contest is promised.
The Courier-Dispatch is not one of the
papers that wanted a fight two years
ago, and we did not want this one this
year. Just after emerging from the
worst panic that has affected this coun
try in years, and having reached a pe
riod of prosperity that is almost unpre
cedented, the people are to become di
vided and • embittered. We are' sorry
that the people tannot .give their undi
vided •>(tt er 'ti')!i to business for another
two years, at least. The business in
terests of the State are entitled to that,
at least—no more and no less. At long
range it looks to us as if the real friends
of Mr. Smith were not the ones that
persuaded him to make the race. As
we see it, they must have worked on
his prejudices; they must have con
vinced him that Joe Brown's message
was in the nature of a dare, and that
he could not afford to again refuse.
We cun make nothing else out of it, in
the face of his three former positive
refusals^ But be that as it may, the
fight is on, however.much one may re
gret it, and the race is to the Bwift.
Let us hope peace will come immediate
ly after the race is over, and that the
beBt man will N win.
Macon Telegraph.
The Telegraph has believed all the
time that it was his (Smith’s) purpose
to become a candidate; and that, as
forecasted in these columns as far back
as March last, a series of climaxes was
arranged, but which worked out clum
sily. The excuse for yielding the fourth
time is founded on the flimsy pretext
that GoV. Brown’s message was a
“challenge.” Gov. Brown followed
the text of the Democratic platform.
Its mandates were his recommenda
tions. The single exception is his rec
ommendation of an amendment to the
registration law. That law was passed
and approved by Gov. Smith after the
Democratic platform was adopted, but
before Gov. Smith’s term expired.
Gov. Brown, gives unanswerable rea
sons why that law ought to be amend
ed. All these recommendations have
been confronting ex-Gov. Smith for ex
actly a year. They were no more acute,
no less, on Wednesday loBt than they
were when his three renunciations were
made in as many weeks before. We
point out these unquestionable facts
because they demonstrate beyond doubt
or c^vil that Gov. Brown’s last message
was seized upon as the last opportunity
for a pretext, and that they had been
looking forward to it and planning for
it all the while. Even the box-car pic
tures of the ex-Govemor were made in
advance for quick use in certain after
noon papers, bb far away as Augusta,
But it was queer politics. It was clum
sy thimble-rigging. But ex-Gov.
Smith, and some of his friends and ad
visers, have always proceeded on the
theory that the people are mostly
fools, and that they (the people) could
be manipulated by their (the clan’s)
superior minds. They do not seem
to
have learned in the school of expert
ence.
The people are prosperous and con
tested. They have not expected or de
sired a heated political campaign this
year. they are disposed to let well
enough alone. Gov. Brown haB given a
tion to disturb present satisfactory
conditions, and those who are deter
mined to raise a row at any hazard will
hear from them if it is persisted in.
Ex-Gov. Smith is a very rich man.
He can afford a large expenditure for
campaign purposes. Gov. Brown is a
poor man. His salary, barely affords
him a living. His meager resources
were severely taxed two yeurs ago for
the ordinary and legitimate expenses of
his campaign. And now he is assault
ed, in the main, because he champions
the cause of the poor who woro legisla
ted against in the drastic registration
law, many of whom are now powerless
tq help him for the reason that this law
has disfranchised them. But there are
enough right-thinking peiplo on thd
lists to protect him.
ColumbuB Enquirer-Sun.
Tho announcement of Hon. Hoke
Smith for Governor did not pome as a
surprise, notwithstanding the fact that
he had more than once declined to
make the race. Many people through
out the State believed all the time that,
sooner or lijtor, he would be a candi
date. The reason assigned by him and
his friends, however, may have come
sb something of a surprise. It is con
tained 1 in the declaration made by Mr.
Smith's friends and supporters, as well
as himself, that Gov. Brown’s message
to the Legislature last Wednesday was
a "challenge to tho ex-Governor. ”
This is about the flimsiest excuse that
could have been offered. As a matter
of fact, the unanimity with which the
Smithltes came together on this propo
sition—the simultaneousness of the
movement—indicates that plans to this
end had been laid before the message
was sent to the Legislature. But,
granting for tho sake of argument,
that this is the reason for the ex-Gov-
ernor’s entry into the race, let us look
into the matter just a little.. One will
not have to look very far before he
will be able to see very readily that tho
claim is faulty. Wherein doeB the Gov
ernor’s message “challenge” Mr.
Smith? .It has not been pointed out,
and there are not a few Georgians who
would like to be shown that this claim
is true, if it is true. ! It is true that the
Governor did not indorse the Smith ad
ministration; but, surely, there is no
one, not oven the most ardent Smith
man, who expected him to do this.
Not only did the Governor not indorse
the Sn.ith administration, but he fol
lowed the platform that wus] adopted
by the last Democratic State Conven
tion, upon which the Governor, was
nominated, and which did not fail to
show its hostility to the policies of the
Smith administration in terms [not to
be mistaken. The meBBage made the
mandates of that platform its rdcom
mendations, with the single exception
of a recommendation of an amendment
t<f the registration law, which was
passed by the .Legislature and approved
by Gov. Smith subsequent to the adop
tion of the platform, but prior to the
expiration of Mr. Smith’s term as Gov
ernor. The message of Gov. Brown
gives reasons why that law should be
amended that cannot be answered. It
is no new thing, however, for the Gov
ernor to favor such an amendment
he recommended in his message. He
made practically the same recommen
dation in his first message to the Leg
islature a year ago, and Mr. Smith
waB aware of this fact when he refused
more than once to become a candidate
for Governor this year. He also knew
the Governor’s position on several other
matters touched upon by Gov. Brown
practically all of which had been cov
ered in his first message to the Legisla
ture last year. Therefore, in view of
all the facts in the case, it seems that
it will be a difficult matter for the ex
Governor and his friends to [convince
the people of Georgia that the message
was in reality responsible for the entry
of Mr. Smith into the race. In fact, it
will be difficult to convince the thought
ful citizen that this "coup” had not
been carefully prepared to be Bprung
at that particular time. Gov. Brown’i
message was not a challenge to Mr
Smith, as has already been shown, but
was nothing more nor less than a rec
ommendation to the Legislature that it
carry out the mandates of the Demo
cratic party of Georgia, as laid down in
the laBt platform adopted by it, end
which is the party law until another
platform iB adopted. If, then, Gov.
Brown’s message is in line £with the
Democratic platform, (and it is, as
reading of the two documents will
show,) the message is not a challenge
to Mr. Smith to enter the race for Gov
ernor; but is not Mr. Smith's' entry
into the race, making that meHsagetho
excuse for his course—making, a docu
ment that is in accord with the Demo
cratic platform grounds for thu contest
—a challenge to the Democracy of
Georgia? It so appears, and there is
every reason to believe that the vast

No Gentlemen in Senate.
Wnehlngton Time..
There are no “gentletpen” in the
Senate. That is to say, there are none
in u parliamentary sense. They are all
gentlemen in. polite society, but they
must not be referred to as such during
the Senate proceedings.
It is perfectly proper In the HouBe of
Representatives to refer to unassociate
on the floor ns the “Gentleman from
Maryland or Maine or Florida,” but to
speak of a Senator as thu “Gentleman
from Tonnesseo nr Virginia or Rhode
Island” would be an unpardonuble
breach of Senatorial proprieties. The
member of the upper branch must al
ways be called or addressed as the
Senator from so-and-so.”
Ever and nnon Vicc-l’rosident Sher
man, who got his parliamentary train
ing in the House, speuks from the chair
to “the gentleman,” etc. He generally
catches himself in time to save a re
buke from some stickler for form.
Not long ago a new Senator in mak
ing a speecli continued to refer to an
associate as “the gentlemun from New
York.” He was allowed to finish his
speech, but when ho hud concluded
Senator Gallinger rose and administered
gentle but effective rebuke to the
■new member.
I do not wish to reflect upon tho
Senator from New York,"said Senator
Gallinger, "by suggesting that he is
not the gentleman which he has been
so frequently called during the late ad-
dross, but we know that the practice in
this body prohibits such usage.” ,

Wounding the King’s English.
One of Washington’s wealthiest wo
men is another Mrs. Malaprop, and
her acquaintances tell many u weird
story of her manipulations of the King’s
English. Once a friond said to her:
“Mrs. Blank, how wellund strong your
daughter lookB.”
Yes,” was the answer, “Mary is so
well, in fact, I think she Is the most in
delicate girl in Washington.”
Another time some one said in refer
ence to Mary’s return from abroad,
Where is Mary now?” The mother
Malaprop answored: “She is at Paris,
and she would spend all of her time
there if she could. She Ib the great
est Parasite I have ever known.”
She also informed someone that her
husband’s costume at a masked ball
was very effective, that "he went in
the garbage of u monk.” Another
time her daughter’s hand was praised
for its beauty and she said; “Yes,
Mary has a beautiful hand, and the next
time we go to Italy we intend having a
buBt made of Mary's hand.”
KEEP THE KINDEYS WELL.
Health Is Worth Saving, and Some
Newnan People Know How
to Save It.
Many Newnan people take their lives
in their hands by neglecting the kidneys
when they know these organs need help.
Sick kidneys are responsible for a vast
amount of suffering and ill health, but
there is no need to suffer nor to remnin
in danger when all diseases and aches
and pains due to weak kidneys can be
quickly and permanently cured by the
use of Doan s Kidney Pills. Here is a
Newnan citizen’s recommendation:
C. L. Baker, 112 Jackson St., New
nan, Gu., says: "Riding over rough
roads has been a Severe strain on my*
kidneys, and as a result I suffered off
and on for years fnm a dull aching In
my back. The kidney secretions were
also disordered and from this I realized
that my kidneys were in an unhealthy
condition. A short time ago I learned
ubout Doan’s Kidney Pills and procur
ing a box at Lee Bros.’ drug store, I
began their use. They relieved me
promptly and I am grateful to them.”
