DEBATE AT COLUMBUS
DIFFERED IN TACTICS
Both Mr. Smith and Mr. Howell Changed Their
Themes Almost Entirely When They
Met Friday Night.
By WIDEMAN LEE.
T HE Atlanta joint debate was pret
ty warm, but It didn't compare
with the Columbus affair, by the
ilile of which It was tame. There were
possibly fifty people In the audience
»t the Peachtree auditorium Friday
aljht who were also present At the
gprinfer opera house. In Columbus, on
January 10, when Clark Howell and
Hoke Smith met for their first joint
debate of the gubernatorial campaign.
Those who saw both debates, for there
vas as much In the sight as In what
was really heard, pronounced the At
lanta debate much tamer than the first
meeting.
Experience Is a great teacher—and
Clark Howell and Hokb Smith both
ihowed Friday night that they had
profited by their experience In Colum
bus Mr. Smith deviated more from
his former course than did Mr. Howell.
In the ColumbUB debate, Mr. Smith
spoke for fully a halt hour on the rail
road ring, which he declared was dom
inated by Hamilton McWhorter. Al
bert Howell nnd Clark Howell. Hla
arraignment of these three men was
severe, and he forsook the Issues of
the campaign to Indulge In vilifica
tion of them. Friday night, the ab
sence of any such "argument" was
conspicuous to those who had heard
Mr. Smith's Columbus address. Mr.
Smith dwelt at length In his Colum
bus speech on Clark Howell's official
career, producing books and records,
which he said contained things which
would surprise the people of tho s'ate.
The Atlanta Constitution was bitterly
repudiated, too.
A feature of the Atlanta debate that
was a repetition of tho former contest
was the remark of Mr. Smith to the
effect that the Clark Howell men
were yelling because they didn't want
to hear the charges against him. The
manner In which It was said was ex
actly as It had been in Columbus, and
effective in both Instances.
Both Were Cooler Here.
Anger played an Important part In
the Columbus debate, for both candi
dates lost their temper, though Mr.
Howell was by far the cooler of the
two men. After sitting quietly for an
hour, listening to charges against him
which must have made his blood boll—
and did wilt his collar down before he
even arose to address the audience—
Mr, Smith jumped up. his face white,
heads of perspiration on his massive
forehead, on which the veins were
standing out like whipcords, his body
quivering with anger, hi* entire being
the embodiment of rage, nnd from the
first word he uttered until his clos
ing remark at the close of an hour and
a half, he Indulged In such merciless
reproach, such bitter repudiation of all
the: hla adversary had said, that lie
showed keenly hi* bitter personal ha
tred of the man who had charged him
with Inconsistencies of every nature.
It was a personal attack that he made
on Mr. Howell, such r.n Mr. Howell,
for a part of his Atlanta speech, made
on Mr. Smith. There was very little
argument on either side In that debate
at Columbus, for those candidates had
too much against each other to take
time to discuss anything In which the
people were Interested. They were
having It out.
Many Subjects Dropped.
In Mr. Howell's Columbus speech, he
devoted a major portion of his time to
the alleged deal between Hoke Smith
and Tom Watson. He pictured
words that left nothing to the Imag.
Inatlon the merciless betrayal of the
Democratic patty by Hoke Smith. He
read letters from different men to bear
out hla charges, and the celebrated Sid
ney Tapp epistle did create quite the
sensation of the debate. Tom AVatson
was Mr. Howell's theme, while the
Piedmont bar was not mentioned.
The freight bureau Incident figured
both debates.
Then another charge against Mr.
Smith which Mr. Howell made, and by
which he meant to show that his ad
versary's position on the race question
was wholly Inconsistent, was the Blsh-
ou Turner family affair. He. produced
records from the government; he read
official reports; nil to show that Hoke
Smith had favored the negro while In
Washington. This part of Mr. How
ell's Columbus address consumed much
time. Issues were totally disregarded
by both candidates, for they had It In
for each other, and It Imd to come out,
which It did not fall to do. Contempt
and ridicule were rampant with both
Mr. Howell nnd Mr. Smith.
No Votes Made at Columbus
Neither of the candidates at the Co
lumbus debate made votes, wise poll
tictans said. They Interested their
hearers Just as a bull fight would,
have done, for It was a battle of word?
—which each looked as If he would like
to change Into some more formidable
weapon.
The Columbus debate was held In
the opera house of that city, and
there were seats to spare—In fact, the
gallery was not one-tenth full, though
the other two floors were packed.
There were not more than 1,200 people
In the opera house, and of those, each
candidate had about half. Tho order
was as far ahead of that at the debate
Friday night as could be Imagined.
Both candidates were given a respect
ful hearing, though there was much of
tho boisterous "Hurrah for Smith!'
and "Hurrah for Howell!" from row.
dies, who had no thought other than
to create disorder for their own amuse
ment and the discomfort of those about
them. The fact that tho chief of po
lice of Columbus, AVlley Williams,
stood at one comer of tho stage fac
ing the crowd no doubt had much to
do with the excellent order, for It was
excellent compared to that of Friday
night, and there were |to ejections.
Both candidates were heard perfect
ly In every part of tho opera house,
and Mr. Howell's voice was not strain
ed and broken, as It was In the Atlanta
debate.
A Dog Fall at Columbus,
The Columbus vllifi-jollificatlon was
a dog fall. All conservative men con.
sldered it so, for the Issues were not
discussed—only mentlonod en passant.
Many of those who wont to tho Colum
bus debate unbiased came away with
tho feeling that they would bj ntrald
to vote for either candidate If half of
the charges made against him by the
other should hnve any truth In them.
In Atlanta, wtth a house which was
two-thirds his, Hoke Smith, who re
ceived a perfect henetng. came out a
decided victor over Clark llowoll, who,
speaking under the disadvantage of a
voice Inadequate to the acoustics of
the auditorium, as well as to over
come tho noises made by the ever
present rowdy, did not have n favora
ble opportunity to present his caso, had
ho cared to Indulge In a discussion of
the Issues of the campaign.

occasion. His majesty Is as supremo In

RESOLUTIONS OF SYMPATHY
FOR JUDGE W. T. NEWMAN
The following resolutions of syfn
pathy for Judge W. T. Newman and
family In the recant death of Mm. Lucy
Rucker have been drawn up by tho
committee appointed from the United
States grand Jury for the spring term:
The call from the physical existence
to that of the spiritual has been an
swered by another noble life. In the
person of Mrs. Lucy Rucker, tho
daughter of our honored and upright
Judge W. T. Newman. There Is cause
for congratulation, as well as grief,
that his Ilfs as s father and his noble
family’s should have known and touch,
ed one so beautiful and enriching. The
cause for grief Is that she should bavo
been so soon removed from a sphere
where usefulness, such as she had
rendered, was so much needed. And
yet the Father of us all knows when a
life Is ripe, and, therefore, when to
put that life Into another place where
It can do more than It could have done
here. Be it resolved.
First, That we extend to the father
and the rest of the family our sincere
and heartfelt sympathy In this their
dark hour of bereavement: and we
know that He who took the life will
give that strength and guidance that
they may need;
Resolved, second. That a copy of
these resolutions be published in the
papers of Atlanta, and that ths family
be furnished with the same.
