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.

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. ST. ELMO MAS8ENOALR ROBERT M. ORMOND. HARRY L. BCHLE8INQER.
