That a number of "Little Joe" Brown s friends are grooming him —in their minds, anyway—for the senatorial race in 1914 there Is no longer any doubt Recently there has appeared in va rious newspapers throughout Georgia a story to that effect, and in many’ pub lications the suggestion has met with more than an ordinarily warm recep tion. The governor, so far as anybody will tell, has never said anything about this matter. When cautiously and circumspectly approached—there are still a tew mis guided ones here and there who under ; take to get upon the blind side of "Ut ile Joe" now and then —upon this topic, I the governor merely smiles one of his | justly famous super-noncommittal smiles, and lets it go at that! That may mean Barkis is willing— and it may- mean Barkis thinks It’s none of your business. One never can tell for sure, unless the governor wants him to. Nevertheless and notwithstanding, "they say"-—always lay things on "they say.” if nobody else will stand for them uncomplainingly—that ■ the governor would not object to following further in the footsteps of his distinguished father, through serving a term or two in “the most august deliberative body on earth." It looks as if Senator Bacon Is to have relatively smooth sailing on his way back to the senate, but If "Little Joe” and Senator Hoke Smith should flgh< It out In 1914 —well, to say the least of it, there would be something ’ doing.
