SEN. SMITH SHV
OF G1 POLITIES
Keeps His Word, Apparently,
Not to Mix in Contest for
Governorship.
From out a mass—and, perhaps, a
mess—-of speculation and political
dope” concerning the gubernatorial
ontest, one definite idea apparently has
j risen to fix itself firmly and distinctly
in the minds of a lot of people, and
hat is that Senator Hoke Smith really
tmd truly meant it when, several weeks
tgo, he sent out the word from Wash
ington that he desired to take no hand
whatsoever in state politics in Georgia
tliis summer, and that he would not.
under any circumstances.
If the senator has played any part
in the various efforts to get this, that
and the other candidate into the field
against Slaton and Hall, he has suc
ceeded astonishingly well in keeping it
thoroughly dark.
As a matter of fact, mighty few peo
ple believe, in the light of recent events.
Senator Smith has given aid and com
fort. or even encouraging suggestion,
io any one of the numerous near-can
didates for the governorship recently
discussed.
Then Hudson Withdrew.
It was not long after Senator Smith
announced his determination to play
hands off” this summer that Thomas
G. Hudson withdrew from the guber
natorial contest. Following Hudson’s
withdrawal, there was talk of Candler,
and Felder, and Covington, and Hard
nick all Hoke Smith men, so-called.
But as each boom arose, flourished a
brief season, and collapsed, and still
l here came no definite word from the
Washington senatorial sphynx. The
tumult and the shouting died —and
things wound up right where they
started, with Slaton and Hall lone con
testants for gubernatorial honors.
It is not —and no one is so foolish
ns to suspect otherwise —that the sena
tor disapproves of Jack Slaton or Joe
Hill Hall less, but that he disapproves
of a partisan squabble now consider
ably more.
The senator has troubles of his own
sceduled for the next state primary,
when he presumably will seek the
Democratic nomination to succeed him
self. and he is not going out of his way
to ‘start something” this summer.
Entries Simmer Down to Two.
It is generally agreed that Senator
Smith might have made—and still
might make—if he so elected, opposi
tion to Slaton and Hall not only sure,
but strenuous.
But as time runs on, and no oppo
sition appears, the idea is becoming
firmly fixed that he meant it absolutely
when he Issued his ultimatum, some six
weeks bajck, that he would take no
hand in state politics this summer.
The gubernatorial race has simmer
ed down to Slaton and Hall—and it has
simmered down to stay.

HR BANDIT KILLS
MEMPHIS POLICE
Posse of Officers and Citizens
Pursues Negro Desperado.
Many Arrests Made.
MEMPHIS, TENN., June 21.
Posses of police and citizens are to
day scouring the south end of Mem
phis in search of Charles Gaines, a
negro bandit, who early today killed
Patrolman J. M. Taylor in a battle
between police and negroes. A wagon
load of negroes, rounded up by the po
lice, is toeing field for Investigation. A
dozen officers are engaged in the man
hunt, while the entire police depart
ment is keeping a lookout for Gaines.
Following the hold-up of a street car
recently, the police have been search
ing for Gaines and Ijis accomplices.
With three other negroes, he was lo
cated early today in a house in the ne
gro quarter of South Memphis. A de
tail of officers, led by Sergeant Mc-
Auliffe, surrounded the house and de
manded the surrender of the quartet*
Charles Berry, special officer of the
Memphis Street Railway Company, was
sent to the back door to order the ne
groes out. They refused to come. The
officers threatened to burn the house.
Then two of the negroes came out with
hands up.
In the meantime Patrolman Taylor
had gone around the house from the
opposite sidq. Shots were heard from
the rear and Taylor came staggering
back to his fellow officers. "He got
me,” said Taylor as ho dropped dead.
He was shot through the heart. Officer
Berry had taken refuge behind an out
house.
The negro slayer was out of sight,
having made his getaway, after shoot
ing Taylor, before Sergeant McAuliffe
and his men could reach the rear of‘
the building.
A riot call sent to police headquar
ters brought a patrol wagon load of of
ficers and the man hunt was on in ear
nest. It was not long before the offi
cers had regained the trail of Gaines
and the chase was kept up for hours.
Twice the negro fired on the police as
they closed up on him, and each time
succeeded in eluding them.
