CLARK HOWELL WRITES
OF DEFEAT BY SMITH
3r
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
THriWHAY, AL’OT'RT 23. 13%.
11
Th? Constitution prin'ed Thursday
morning an editorial, signed by Clark
Howell, In which defeat is admitted,
gracefully, perhaps, but with a tincture
cf protest. This particularly appears In
irtiat Mr. Howell says about Mr. Wat-
jon’s part In the campaign. It was as
fallows:
•Whatever may be the views, the
reasoning, or the explanation of others
as to the causes leading to the result.
tm l the condition It creates, I give
mine for what they are worth, and
niil) the assurance that, so far as 1
«m concerned. I accept It with com-
mjutc and without personal bitterness
—with regret, It is true, that my lin-
«woning party loyalty has been made
!l, e weakest point In my armor as a
candidate, anil that for that very’ loy-
aliv to my party, I have been made a
lacriflce at the hands of those ugalnst
vrhnse assaults on. the party I have
, tl ,,ul with unflinching zeal and unre
mitting determination. In atl these
years, t have necessarily made polit
ical opponents of those whose antag
onism to my party has led ine to an
tagonize them. As a loyal Democrat
I itail no other course to pursue.
"Cnder the leadership of Mr. Wnt-
f ,,n tills very large element—not those
rvp.j were formerly Fopultsts, but those
,,Ho are now Populists, were brought
Into the Democratic primary, moved
primarily by the openly avowed pur
pose to punish those who have hereto
fore stood ugalnst their assaults on tlte
partv. and who had no apologies to of
fer Nor have they como back as
Democrats. Mr. Watson was frank
enough to refuse to declare his Inten
tion to support the Democratic nom
ine? for president two years hence, re
serving for himself the right to direct
me Democratic nomination In the state
primary this year, and then to lead
lli«e 0rc ? the party two years
S?"5*:. no mnn can blame him If
i hl ', ve >T thing, for he has not
concealed his right to do so. It is a
condition without a.precedent In the
politics of this or any other state.”
Mr. Howell then defends his public
record and his personal views In the
matter of the railroads, declaring that
. . I '*" nev * r sacrificed the Interest
of the people for corporate welfare.
He said:
"During this whole campaign I have
not asked, nor received, one dollar from
any railroad on earth and even my ad-
veraarles will admit that I have not re-
veived the support or encouragement
of the head of a single railroad sys
tem. Nor was I' entitled to it by virtue
of any support I had ever given them
In any measure affecting their interests
ns against what I believed to be the in
terest of the public."
Then, reverting to disfranchise
he declared Ills belief that the white
man will lose his ballot along with the
negro.
In closing, he said:
"Georgia Is ‘good enough for me,’
whoever may be her chief executive.
I .have never yet sought the shadow
In defeat and It Is too late to begin
now. Whatever happens, I,prefer to
live In the sunshine of the sentiment
so aptly expressed by Stanton:
" ‘This old world we're livin' In
Is mighty hard to beat;
We get a thorn with every rose,
But—ain’t the roses sweet!’
"Defeat Is the thorn today, but I
would not exchange It for the friend*
ships that have been so generously
manifested In this campaign. They are
the roses that make defeat easy!”

WINNERS IN TWO CONTESTS
FOR CONGRESSIONAL BERTHS
In only two of the eleven congress
ional districts of Georgia were there
contests In the electron of Wednesday—
the First and the Third.
In the First.
In the first (Savannah district) there
nos n double fight for the seat of the
late Itufus E. Leater—the short and
long terms. J. W. Overstreet was
nominated to fill the unoxplred term
ond W. W. Sheppard was chosen tor
the long term. •
There were four candidates for the
short term. Gordon Saussy, William
Clifton. J. W. Overstreet and J. Hart
ridge Smith.
Sheppard was opposed In the con
test for the long form by J. A. Bran
tten.
In the Third.
The Indications up to the latest hour
ore that Hon. E. B. Lewis has defeated
lion. Dudley M. Hughes In the Third
district by a small majority. The race
tvas close in Sumter, the latest reports
Indicating that Hughes has a small ma
jority.
Lewis carried Macon county by over
10 plurality. Stewart went for Hughes
by about 50 votes. Schley Is In the
Hughes column by only 35 votes, while
Webster probably gives Lewis a good
plurality. Lee Is for Lewis, as Is Dooly
hy> a [large-vote.
In Crisp Lewis’ plurality Is over <00,
a bile Lewis probably has a small lead
In Houston. Twiggs, Mr. Hughes'
home county gave him only J50 plural
ity over Lewis. Crawford county went
for Hughes by a small vote.
