TO RETAIN DR. PURSER
Minister Accepts Call to Okla
homa Church, But May Re
consider Decision.
Every powrtble • effort will be made
by the congregation of the West End
Baptist church to persuade Dr John
F. Purser, the pastor, to remain with
his Atlanta congregation Instead of ac
cepting the call to the leading Baptist
church of Muskogee, Okla. Dr. Purser
surprised his congregation Sunday
morning by announcing that he had ac
cepted the call, and tendered his resig
nation as pastor.
Dr. Purser has been considering the
call to the Muskogee church for several
weeks, and only decided to accent It
after the third insistent appeal of the
Oklahoma congregation. He believes
that the new and growing city will give
him greater opportunity to do good than
hla present well established charge, and
decided to accept the call after great
regret at leaving Atlanta.
But It is not likely that hla congrega.
tlon will permit Dr. Purser to leave
without a decided protest. No minister
In Atlanta Is more highly honored than
he, and none Is considered more capa

Hoke Smith is the strongest and most
forceful man In Georgia and Is ac
counted one of the strongest men In the
South. He Is "a massive progressive,
not passive, but aggressive," and wlli
be as modern and vital as his col
league Bacon la conservative. Geor
gia will hold no secondary place In the
senate with the two of them In their
eeats.
Between Two Fires.
Hoke Smith succeeds Joe Terrell, hie
political antagonist, an amiable and
exceedingly snrewd politician, whose
qualities have mode him always popu
lar with the conservative corporations.
Terrell and Bncon and the rest are
between two flres with regard to Hoke
Smith. In the first place they do not
want him to come to the senate at all,
for when he comes they renllse that he
will focus the Interest and attention,
of the Empire Slate of the South upon
his three hundred pounds of brawn and
brain.
But on the other hand, since he has
been elected to come to Washington,
they want him to come at once. In
order to get him out of Georgia, where
his Influence nnd his personality domi
nate the politics of the state.
If Hoke Smith comes to Washington
and the extra session should be pro
longed to keep him here, then Terrell
hopes, with the Rid of Dark Howell
and the railroads, to recapture Georgia
for the reactionaries and Joe Brown,
whom Hoke Smith has Just defeated.
Wherefore, Terrell's game was to re-
Rlgn at once, rush his resignation and
go home In order to force 8mlth to
come to Washington, or lenve the state
unrepresented.
But the Hoke Smith luck Is still In
the ascendnnt. Congress will certainly
adjourn within three weeks. So, that
Hoke Smith may hold on to the reins
of government In Georgia, finish the
progressive legislation to which he Is
pledged, nnd Incidentally block the
plans of the reactionaries by taking n
vigorous part In the state election
called to fill his place, and have him
self succeeded by Murphy Cnndter or
Dick Russell, or some other Democrat
ns progressive as himself.
Will Fight For Progressive Rule.
Then Hoke Smith, with enormous lo
cal prestige and tremendous personal
force behind him, will come to the eon.
ate, not to wall, but to carry the fight
for progressive policies to the Republi
can opposition.
Then there Is Kentucky, which has
fully slated the gigantic Ollle James
for Democratic sennlor, to be elected
In Jnnuary.
Ollle James ha* already swept the
Democratic primaries, held In Kentucky
on the flrst Tuesday In July. Jamee
carried the battle to Senator Paynter
so fast and so furious that Paynter
withdrew before the primary pole nnd
left the Held to his opponent.
As a sonator, Paynter waa a con-
gervatlv*. He wns a disciple of Ballsy
doctrine In the lees.
James Is a vital progressive. v
He Is bold, aggressive, fearless In at
tack. of enormous stature and with a
voice that could All the remotest corner
of Madison Squure Garden.
He Is also a brave, straight Demo
crat, active and unafraid and capable
of that crowning political virtue—an
enduring human friendship.
Mr. Bryan said of Ollle James that he
Is one of the ablest of Democrats, and
Bills in the House
him one of the Strongest
Agures of this era of progress.
Senator Jam» will take his seat In
early January.
The combined girth and avoirdupois
of Hoke Smith and Vnrdaman will

Mississippi-'too. Is In the throes of a

beat Vardapian by a few votes In the
last senatorial primary In Mississippi,
and all the present omens and political
portents Indicate that the chlvnlrlc Per
cy—perhaps the Anest gentleman In the
American senate, but nonetheless a half
conservative—will go down In August
before the picturesque and redoubtable
radical, whose extremism of the hust
ings Is underlaid with a superb record
as a sane, sound governor of Missis
slppl, and whose Integrity nnd patriot
Ism will do honor to the senate, yar
