Hoke Smith, whose election to the governorship seems assured In the state primary of Wednesday, Is thereby victorious In his first race for political office. Although he has been In the public eye for fifteen years and more, he has never before been a can didate before the people. To get right down to the biographical data, he was born at Newton, N. C„ September 8, 1865, and will one week from Sunday celebrate hla Gist year. Newton, N. C„ Is In Lincoln county, which Is celebrated for having furnish ed the biggest per cent of Its popula tion for the Confederate army of any county In the South. His father and mother are both liv ing at the Smith home, 197 West Peachtree street. His father, Hilary Hosea Smith, 89 years of age, voted Wednesday for nls son. He was a Democrat, and a slave owner In North Carolina although he came from New Hampshire. He married In North Car olina a Southern girl. Hoke Smith, was educated by his father and attended no college. He came to Atlanta when 18 years of nga and taught a country school studying law at night. As soon as he was ad mitted to the bar he gave up his school and alone began tho practice of law Jiere. Buys Atlanta Journal. By the year 1887 he had acquired considerable money from his practice and he then made his first move for public life. He bought the Atlanta Journal, then a weak struggling dally paper. He held onto this property, through panic and travail, until 1898, when he sold out to a body of men, supposed at that time to represent H. M. Atkinson and the street car company. His purchase of the Atlanta Journal Immediately put him Into city, state and national politics. • He became a fig ure In the Democratic machinery - of the state, waa an ardent Cleveland man In 1892 and was swept Into office along with the last Democratic president. Be cause of his valiant service In Mr. Cleveland’s cause, Mr. Smith was ap pointed secretary of the Interior. Because of his striking personality, he Instantly became widely known all over the country. Folks who had be fore never heard of such a man were treated to articles In the newspapers about the giant from Georgia. The ever alert New Torw Sun had a world of fun out of his name. Pert and Im pertinent paragraphs appeared dally, asking If Hoke Smith were a Hoax Myth. He was placed In The Sun's hall of fame along with Dink Boris and Pod Dlsmukea. Record in the Cabinet - But despite the fun poked at him, Mr. Smith kept right along In the even tenor of his way and Is said by many In position to know to have reorgan ised and pyt on a business basis the department of the Interior. August 22, 1896, Mr. Smith resigned from his position In the cabinet. It was stated at that time that his res ignation was caused by political dis agreement with President Cleveland. About that time Cleveland had earned the displeasure and distrust of the rad ical element uf the Democratic party In the South. Mr. Smith announced, or allowed the announcement to be made that he could not harmonize his po litical conscience with Mr. Cleveland's views and actions. During the campaign Just closed, It transpired that Mr. Smith's resigna tion was due to the financial distress of the Atlanta Journal, which was about to go under because of the pan ic which had held the South In Its grip two years and a half. Mr. Smith had given up a practice said to be worth 326,000 a year to accept the cabinet ap pointment. His sulurv of 38.000 was hardly enough for him and his family to life on In the style expected of high officials in Washington. His large land holdings In Atlanta shrank In value because of the panic, and The Journal was on the verge of failure Returns to Atlanta. ' So he left the cabinet, went to Wall street, borrowed 360,000 and returned to Atlanta, where he again took up his law practice and the active man agement of The Journal. For len years little was heard from him by the public. He worked hard on his law practice and when he sold out The Journal he almost dropped Into obscurity, appearing In public only as an active member of the city board of education. Along in 1902 he began to go about the state, making addresses on educational themes. He kept It up for a year and then It began to be whispered about that he Imd his eye on the senatorshlp. It was expected that there would be something doing, either when Bacon's term expired or Steve Clay’s. It was known for years that Clark Howell would be candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor In 1906. Now, between Smith and the Howells there has never been any love wasted. Their newspaper rivalry doubtless caused them to be political enemies. When the old United Press failed and The Constitution was left without a telegraphic press service, the predominant Influence of The Consti tution had to go to Hoke Smith and ask him to divvy on the Associated Press franchise. Now the Evening Conatltu lion had just been started and was cutting deeply Into The Journal. ‘ Hoke Smith said he would let The Constitution have the morning service of the Associated Pres* If the Evening Constitution ware .Immediately discon tinued. 8mites The Constitution. The Constitution was down, and Hoke Smith smote It good and hard. Which Is ethical enough In business even If not in personal encounter. The Evening Constitution was called off forever. » It rankled in the hearts of the How ells. When Clark Howell was just about to announce his candidacy for gover nor, an editorial appeared In The Con stitution, daring Hoke "smith to run. Why this rash challenge was Issued, nobody knows, hut Howe Smith took the dare, entered the race and won aft er the most remarkable campaign In the history of the state. He carried the stale as much by sheer physical force as anything else. He spoke In 144 counties, making 226 separate ad dresses. All In thirteen months. He had a platform that appealed to the people—assaults on the railroads and corporate Influences, and negro disfranchisement. He made the most of his planks. Mr. Smith was married In 1880 to Miss Birdie Cobb, daughter of Genera) Thomas R. R. Cobh. Their children are Marlon, a young lawyer, and Misses Mary Brent, Lucy and Cable Smith. Mr. Smith Is a Presbyterian nnd Is well known In secret orders, being a Mason, a Shriner, a Red Man and a Beaver. throughout the circuit Insures his re< election.

For Illustration, one of the best county officials stated to me a few days ago that he had withdrawn all Ills op position to the 'salary system/ and was willing to meet with the grand Jury and the county commissioners and draft a practical bill, naming reason able salaries for county officials, do ing Away with the present 'fee sys tem.’ Only yesterday one of the most active county commissioners said: Mr. llranan, I Indorse your efforts, and also the reform measures In placing tho copnty officials upon a salary and do-. Ing sway with the fee system for coun*' ty and state officials for Fulton county/ Now, It Is my Idea to urge the people. It mAkes no difference for whom they voted for county treasurer, to got to gether and get back of this movement, and I believe the representatives from Fulton county will take the matter up and pass a bill carrying out the rec ommendation of the grand Jury with reference to placing the state and coun ty officials upon a salary."
