Clark Howell, who is to be re-elect ed a member of the national Demo cratic executive committee, is the sen ior member of that committee in point of continuous service. He is now com pleting his fifth term as Georgia's member of the committee. At the ex piration of his next term he will have served exactly 24 years. By reason of this long service. Mr. Howell is easily one of the most influ ential members of the committee. He' frequently is the one authority avail able for settling matters within the committee controlled largely by prece dent. Howell's First Election. Mr. Howell’s first election to the na tional committee took place in the sum mer of 1892. It came about through the most surprising—and, in many aspects, amusing—combination of circum stances ever recorded in Georgia poli tics. Early in the year 1892 an aggressive movement was started for the presi dential nomination of David B. Hill, of New York, by the Democrats. An ear ly convention was called in the Empire State, and Hill was handed the New York indorsement on a silver waiter. The Atlanta Constitution, of which Mr. Howell is the editor now and of which his father, the late Captain Evan P. Howell, was editor then, warmly espoused the cause of Hill. Hoke Smith, then the owner of The Atlanta Journal, long Mr. Howell's dearest political enemy in Georgia, took to the Hill movement not at all. Through Mr. Smith, The Journal began clamoring for "a Western man" for the presidency, suggesting with great em phasis Palmer, of Illinois, then a strong man in his section. Cleveland Movement Appears. Later along, however, the Grover Cleveland movement in New York got under way, and finally swept the nation off its feet and Mr. Cleveland into the white house. The Journal promptly dropped Mr. Palmer and seized upon Mr. Cleveland. It put up a great battle for Cleveland in Georgia—and it won, by a narrow margin. When the state convention came together it was found that Smith's candidate. Cleveland, had won over Howelj's candidate. Hill, by about 25 votes. It proceeded to elect national delegates and to adopt ironclad <'leve land Instructions When those delegates came together for the purpose of electing a national committeeman, however, it was discov ered that Howell had a majority of them favorable to himself as national committeeman, notwithstanding his loss of the Hill tight and loss of control In the convention. Much to Mr. Smith’s chagrin and mortification, the delegates proceeded to elect Howell national committee man! Chase of Howell Begins. From 1892 to 1912 the chase for Mr. Howell’s scalp has been in progress. From 1892 to 1906 repeated efforts were made to shake Howell loose from that national committeeman’s job. hut never with any promise of success until 1906. In that year Hoke Smith swept the state of Georgia in an election in which Clark Howell was one of his oppo nents. Smith’s victory; was over whelming. and when his convention as sembled in Macon to declare his nomi nation, adopt a platform and do the other usual stunts, there was precious little minority representation to make a fuss of any sort. It was an off presidential year, how ever, and there was nq way of ousting Howell immediately from the national committee, so Congressman Hardwick introduced a resolution, which was vo ciferously passed, declaring it to be the S e nFe o f the Georgia Democracy In con vention assembled that the name of James R. Gray should be presented at the expiration of two years for the na tional committeemanship held by How ell! This all looked pretty squally for Howell, for it had been the unbroken custom for 50 years in Georgia that every’ Democratic governor should have two terms, and there seemed to be no way to head Smith off from a second term and the control of another con vention. In which event, fare-you-well Howell! Joe Brown Gets In. Pretty soon after Gov. Smith was seat ed he had a falling out with Railroad Commissioner "Little Joe” Brown. And right there was where grand, gloomy and peculiar things began to happen in Georgia! "Little Joe” Brown refused to agree to something Governor Smith demand ed of the railroad commission. More over, Brown hadn't been particularly friendly’ to Smith's election, anyway. Before long Governor Smith began to talk pretty rough to Brown —and Bro-wn to talk back rough to Governor Smith. And so, in a moment of aggravated impatience Governor Smith fired Brown. Brown then said, all right, but he would see what the people of Georgia thought about that firing business. Governor Smith pooh-poohed and tut-tutted that whole Brown mix-up and proceeded to relegate to his forget department the entire affair. Little Joe Wins Out. "Little Joe” announced for governo: in 1908. And he made no campaign other than to write a few newspaper cards —since become classics In Georgia political annals. In the election he beat Governor Smith “over the ropes ” But. before the election. Smith had had his state executive committee call a primary in which, over the protest of the Smith opposition, The Atlanta,Con stitution included, it was ruled that the candidate winning the state elec tion should have all the delegates to the convention, no matter how the sev eral counties should go. It was figured that this would give Governor Smith a unanimous Sfipogd convention, with no THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS:THURSDAY. MAY 9. 1912. pestiferous minority’ to make a nuisance of itself. The astonishing result was that un der Smith's own rules and over Brown's original protest the convention, assem bled, was a solid Brown convention — arid it was a presidential year. Howell Wins Again. When the Brown delegates to the state convention got through electing delegates to the national convention of 1908, Clark Howell was again elected his own successor on the national com mittee, notwithstanding the Hardwick resolution in favor of Gray adopted two years before. This carried Howell's term of service on the national committee over to this year, 1912. He had had several close calls, but the Smithites hadn't cap lured him yet. In 1910 Hoke Smith was again elect ed governor, this time beating “Little Joe" by 3.0H0 votes That wasn't many', hut it put "Little Joe” out of business, and again the guns were loaded for Howell. Not long after Smith was inaugu rated governor. Senator Clay' died, and the question of his successor was thrown into the legislature. It was a Smith legislature, and Governor Smith soon became Senator Smith. This brought on an unexpired term guber natorial election, and "Little Joe” bobbed up again. He not only hobbed up. but h? bobbed into the governor’s office once more, notwithstanding the fact that Senator Smith backed Pope Brown against him, and "Blain Dick” Russell threw his hat into the ring. One Chance at Howell Left. The only way to get Howell’s scalp now was to capture the next conven tion, charged with the duty of electing presidential delegates to Baltimore. These delegates must elect the national committeeman. So again the county unit plan was abolished by the Hoke Smith commit tee, and it was ruled that all delegates to that convention must be favorable to tiie candidate winning in the presiden tial primary. Howell, Brown and others protested that this was undemocratic and unfair, but without avail. The rule was adopted, and Smith plunged into the fight to win Georgia to Wilson and get ihat national committeemanship Toi Gray. Again the .Brown-Howell forces won at the precise psychological moment for Howell —and Howell wlll.be unani mously elected his own successor one* more on the national committee. This carries Howell over to 1916—at which, time, presumably, another reaer for his scalp will be made, with whai result remains to be seen. POST-INVENTORY PRICE-REDUCTIONS!!!
