He Tells Friends He Quits Contest. LACKED WATSON'S AID HE COUNTED NECESSARY Expected Support of McDuffie Editor Not Forthcoming. Backers Also Fail. Thomas’ G. Hudson, former commis sioner of agriculture, today announced his withdrawal from the race for the governorship of Georgia. Like a bolt from the blue to his ‘ thousands of friends throughout Geor gia prime this positive statement at noon. I To his more intimate personal and political associates however, the s prise was not so great. They have known for some time that Hudson's race was getting into bad. if not des perate. siiape. Mr. Hudson, in a statement remark able and unusual for its candor and - frankness, assigns two specific reasons for his withdrawal: First, his failure to secure the sup port of Thomas E. Watson. Second, his failure to receive the financial backing promised him in cer tain quarters. The former commissioner of agricul ture was full of confidence and fight six w eeks ago. .lust after the presiden tial primary he lost some of his confi dence. but-I ill hoped for the best. Late ly. grim despair seized upon him, and todav the full realization that he was hopelessly defeated came home to him ( to abide permanently. Pays High Tribute to Watson's Prowess. Mr. Hudson's card to the public pays the highest tribute to the political process of Thomas E. Watson ever it eorded in Georgia politics. It admits that Mr. Watson's attitude absolutely controlled and determined Mr. Hudson in making up his mind finally what to do. The former commissioner of agricul ture has publicly acknowledged the su premacy of Watson in Georgia politics. Mr. Hudson's statement is as follows: After having announced myself a candidate for congress from the Third congressional district I was urged by some of the leading citi zens of the state to make the race for governor. I informed these friends that 1 was financially un able to make, the race and they volunteered to finance the cam paign. Many conferences were held, al which the # preliminaries of the campaign were discussed and out ) lined. At that time there were already two gentlemen In the race for the * governorship, both of them able and p tpular, and J knew they would be hard to defeat. Whl e these conferences were be ing hi Id it came to my ear that Mr. T. E. Watson was dissatisfied with certain political leaders of the state and that he would not be likely to support them. I had con ferences with gentlemen very close to Mr. Watson, after which I be lieved I could get his support. In this I was mistaken Couldn’t Obtain Watson's Support. Believing I would secure Mr. Watson's support, I consented to make the race for governor. No one knew better than myself Mr Watson's power in Georgia poli tics; in fai t, he has held the win ning hand in everi campaign since Continued on Page 3. THE WEATHER. Showers tonight or tomorrow.

PASTOR-POET AND BRIDE HELD AS ELOPERS Romantic Spirit Prompts Them to Keep Wedding a Secret, Says William L. Popham. If the Rev. William Lee Popham, a Baptist missionary of Louisville, and sweet singer of the Bluegrass, hadn't tried to keep secret his marriage to Miss Maude Miller Estes formerly of Louisville, the couple wouldn't have been arrested at the Terminal hotel today, and the preacher-poet would have saved the $11.50 required as col lateral before they were released. But crude commercialism and cold-blooded civic laws are always setting their iron heel on pure romance. Mr. Popham's poetry has charmed Kentucky and the South for a decade. Ho is the author of enough poems to flit Dr'. Eliot’s five-foot shelf to over flowing, and the most famous of his works is that gem of verse, "The Geor gia Queen." Who has not read with awe and envy that delicious gem of metrical skill— that jewel of alluring description, the oft-quoted stanza from his tribute to Georgia women: But of all women. Medium, stout or lean. There's none to compare With my Georgia queen. Mr. Popham just dashed that off be tween addresses to chautauquas, edito itals for his own paper. Mother. Home and Fireside, and sermons to great multitudes. He lias'never had a regular pulpit, sd* far as Is know n but neither did John tl.c Bapt’“t. Didn’t Tell Policeman They Were Married. V.fiiwTtee coupre were arrested by Patrolman Wilbanks, who keeps an eye on the hotels. Mr. Popham did not tell of fits marriage to Miss Estes, and pro duce the certificate. Instead, the two went to the police station and put up their collateral folk release. Then Mr. Popham went to McDonough, and the young woman to Greenville. Ga. But when The Georgian called the preacher poet by long distance phone, he was greatly shocked to learn that the news, papers had discovered his troubles, and promptly admitted that he and Miss Estes had been married in McDonough on May 4 This was afterward sub stantiated by the ordinary hmiseif. It was the poet's divine fire which won him his bride, and it was the young woman's writing which’drew the poet Io her side. Miss Estes read Pop ham’s poem. “Love and Pow°r," wept, and succumbed For a time she ad mired him from afar off. loved only his poems, for she had never seen the 1 man. Then she wrote a biography of Pophanr an idyll of his boyhood down on the farm. Popham received an au tographed copy. Then he packed his grip and went to Hardin county, in Old Kentucky, to meet the fair author. That was three years ago. On May 4 they met by appointment in McDonough, and two hearts were melted into one. Mr. Popham is 27 years old and Mrs. Popham is 24. pretty and well dressed. Mr. Popham's writing Include 240 poems, which he says cover every phase of life, from the cradle to the grave, from "pupply love" to •enlle affection for there’s no true poetry unless love forms its theme. He has written seven works on "Seven American Wonders,” several books of essays, and his latest production is Nut Shells of Truth.'' Preacher Says They Were Married Secretly. Here is the statement Mr. Pophanr gave The Georgian over the telephone: "Miss Maude Miller Estes and myself were married at McDonough on Satur day, May 4, 1912. We were wedded se cretly and Intended to keep It a secret. The only reason why we did not make it known in Atlanta last night was that i we desired io keep it a secret a while longer. The ordinary in McDonough married us. There has been no church ceremony since the court marriage. "I do not know where my wife Is to day. We separated in Atlanta. I came to McDonough, but have forgotten the name of the town to which she went. She Is to write to me and Join me again in a few days. The reason we sepa rated was that we are both engaged In literary work and it was necessary Continued on Page Two.
