THE PEOPLE HA VE
RECORDED VERDICT’
—HOKE SMITH
Later returns from the rural districts
over the state tend tp increase, rather
than diminish, the majority of Hon,
Hoke Smith for governor. From many
rural districts the returns had to be
carried to the county seat on horseback,
and the results of some counties are
delayed. All during the forenoon James
L. Anderson, chairman, and James B,
Hoyle, secretary, of the Hoke Smith
campaign committee, were busy re
ceiving and compiling returns. They
now claim 118 counties, with a total
delegation to the convention of 310.
They concede only 27 counties to the
combined opposition, with a total vote
in the convention of 56 votes.
The number necessary for a choice
is 185, this giving 126 votes to spare
In the convention if their claims hold
good.
In two counties there will be con
tests. In Quitman, where two separate
elections were held, the opposition to
Hoke Smith will contest, and in Mc
Duffie, which is claimed by James
Smith, will be contested by the Hoke
8mith people.
While the vote was comparatively
light over the state, still the returns
show that Hoke Smith's vietory is com
plete.

HOT TO ENTER RACE
"Nothing to say for publication. The
people have recorded their verdict In
unmistakable language, and I am con
tent with that verdict"
That was the greeting of Hon. Hoke
Smith to a Georgian representative
Thursday morning in his office on the
seventh floor of the Peters building.
Air. Smith got down town about 9
o’clock. When he reached the entrance
to the Peters building he was halted
by a mass of people who wanted to
shako his hand and offer congratula
tions. Ho seemed in fine spirits, and
his long and arduous campaign appar
ently left him in the* best of physical
condition.
When he finally got to his office a
big batch of telegrams awaited him.
Some gave results in close counties, but
the bulk of them contained congratu
lations. All forenoon a steady stream
of people came up to his office, and his
handle. Now and then he stopped to
scan a handful of telegrams offered by
a secretary.
"Vice President Next."
"Governor, we want to make you vice
president next time," said one enthu
siast.
"My friend, thank you, but I will be
In Georgia for^four years now. I ex
pect to be this great state's chief exec
utive for the next four years, and 1
wouldn’t lay that duty and honor down
for the vice presidency, if it was ten
dered me."
Shortly before 10 o’clock Reuben Ar
nold, who has done yeoman service for
Mr. Smith, came In. Instantly Mr.
Smith arose from his easy chair, and
threw his arms about the smiling at
torney:
"Well, Reuben, my boy, how are you!
It was wonderful, wonderful, eh?"
"Fine, governor; great, splendid,
prodigious, incomparable!"
A clfcan cut young fellow rushed In
and grasped Mr. Smith’s hand as he
said:
"Governor, I came all the way from
Mexico to vote for you. Got here
Wednesday morning, and I’m mighty
proud to have been one of the many
thousand Georgians to poll a vote for
the biggest and finest man in the coun
try.”
James L. Anderson, chairman of the
Hoke Smith central campaign commit
tee, to whose wonderful capacity for
organization largely lies the over
whelming victory of his man, was in
and out, of the offices, with a happy
smile on his face and scores of badges
and buttons still fastened to his shirt.
120 Countiet 8ure.
"Oh, what’s the use of talking about
It? We’ve 120 counties sure, and that
tells all that is worth telling. The
people triumphed."
Congratulatory telegrams came from
practically every section of the coun
try. There were scores from New
York, Texas, the Carolines and other
states. By 10 o’clock a great stack of
them lay in front of Mr. Smith, and
messenger boys were hurrying In and
out like bees.
Men from every section of the state
came to Mr. Smith’s office to offer con-
among the visitors. They seemed more
pleased than anybody.
As the elevator descended the boy
operating it wiped his steaming brow
and said: ,
“Gee, all de people in de world seem
to be tryln’ to git up to de seventh floor
dis mornln’.”

Joseph M. Brown, of Cobb county,
will not be a candidate for railroad
commissioner at the October election
• > succeed himself upon the expira
tion of his term In October, 1907.
In reply to the direct question of
the Georgian representative, . Mr.
Brown authorized the statement that
he would not seek the position.
"In the light of Wednesday’s
turns It would not become me to seek
a position under an administration
when myself and the head of the gov
ernment hold entirely different ideas
about certain vital matters. I shall
not offer for railroad commissioner in
October.”
Commissioner Brown said he felt no
bitterness over the result, and that he
would retire to private life when the
time came without enmity towards
anyone who differs with him in mat
ters of public policy.
With Commissioner Brown eliminat
ed from the race, this leaves only
three men now mentioned for the posi
tion. Fondren Mitchell, of Thomas
county, Editor Jesse Mercer, of the
Fitzgerald Enterprise, and Hon. Thom
a* Crenshaw.
If the lines as to a railroad man- or
one possessing practical railroad ex
perience, are drawn In selecting Mr.
Brown’s successor, all those named
will be eliminated except Mr. Cren
If the Democratic state convention
nominates the candidates on Septem-
l* p r 4, the man named will be the
choice of Hoke Smith as he will domi
nate the convention.
