SEN. SMITH SHY
OF OH. POLITICS
Keeps His Word, Apparently,
Not to Mix in Contest for
Governorship.
From out a mass—and, perhaps, a
speculation and political
"dope” concerning the gubernatorial
contest, one definite idea apparently has
arisen to fix Itself firmly and distinctly
in the minds of a lot of people, and
that is that Senator Hoke Smith really
and truly meant it when, several weeks
ago, he sefit out the word from Wash
ington that he desired to take no hand
whatsoever in state politics in Georgia
this 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, might}' few' peo
ple believe, in the light of recent events.
Senator Smith has given aid and com
fort, or even encouraging suggestion,
to any one of the numerous near-can
dldates 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
wick. all Hoke Smith men, so-called.
But as each boom arose, flourished a
brief season, and collapsed, and still
there 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
as 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 Hal! 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 back, that he w'ould 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.

GAR BANDIT GILLS
WMLIGE
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 being held 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 his 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 side. Shots were heard from
the rear and Taylor came staggering
back to his fellow officers. "He got
me,” said Taylor as he 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 orj him. and each time
succeeded in eluding them.
