For Gov. Smith
A desperate effort is being
by the Smith organs to use
convict investigation as a
means of elevating Gov Smith
the mire into which he has
fallen, politically speaking, and
at the same time as a medium for
belittling Mr Brown and his
porters.
As a matter of fact, it is a sheer
impossibilty for Gov Smith to
derive the sisghtest comfort
'rom the investigation. His
political influence can in nowise
>e strengthened by the exposures
that are being made. The investi¬
gation was not begun by Gov
Smith, nor by any of Gov Smith’s
friends. It was started directly
by the Atlanta Georgian, a
Brown paper; it was taken up by
Brown men, and has been largely
pushed by Brown men. Gov
Smith gave it no countenance or
support until it was seen that it
was a “go.” During the year he
has served as Governor he has
done absolutely nothing towards
bettering convict conditions.
When he made his first race for
Governor he carefully avoided
any reference to the convict lease
question. In his inaugural ad¬
dress lie failed to mention it.
The platform he forced the party
to swallow at the Macon con¬
vention never alluded to it. While
the Legislature was holding its
first session he never, in the
remotest sense, referred to the
question. During his recent
second canvas for the Governor
ship he signally failed to consider
the lease matter as of the slight
eat moment. And in his
to the Legislature, one month
ago, he simply expressed the re*
gret that he could not see no way
to handle the convicts that would
alter the existing situation—
because, as he told the Leg¬
islature, he was unable to point
out any way by which expendi¬
tures could be increased. The
idea of abolishing the lease sys¬
tem never seems to have entered
mind,
Under the Smith regime the
Democratic party stood pat on
the convict lease system.
At the Atlanta convention that
nominated Joe Brown for Gover¬
nor it came out flat-footed, for its
abolition. \
The Smith organs can’t fool the
people any more.—Americas
