CLARK HOWELL WRITES
OF DEFEAT BY SMITH
The Constitution printed Thursday
morning an editorial, signed by Clark
Howell, In which defeat is admitted,
gracefully, perhaps, but with a tincture
of protest. This -particularly appears In
what Mr. Howell says about Mr. Wat
son's part in the campaign. It was as
follows:
■Whatever may be the views, the
reasoning, or the explanation of others
as to the causes leading to the result,
and the condition It creates, I give,
mine for what they are worth, and
with the assurance that, so far as 1
am concerned, I accept It with com
posure and without personal bitterness
—with regret, It Is true, that my un
swerving party loyalty has been mode
the weakest point in my armor as a
candidate, and that for that yery loy
alty to my party, I have been made a
sacrifice at the hands of those against
whose assaults on the party I have
stood with unflinching seal and unre
mitting determination. In all these
years, I have necessarily made polit
ical opponents of those whose antag
onism to my party has led me to an
tagonize them. As a loyal Democrat
I had no other course to pursue.
"Under the leadership of Mr. Wat
son, this very large element—not those
who were formerly Populists, but those
who 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 against their assaults on.the
party, and who had no apologies to of
fer. Nor have they come back as
Democrats. Mr. Watson was frank
enough to refuse to declare his Inten
tion to support the Democratic nom
inee for president two years hence, re
serving for himself the right to direct
the Democratic nomination In the state
primary this year, and then to lead
his forces against the party two years
hence. And no man can blame him If
he does this very 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 hls public
record and his personal views in the
matter of the railroads, declaring that
he has never 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
versaries will admit that I have not re
ceived 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
as against what I believed to be the in
terest of the public."
Then, reverting to dlsfranehlsemnt,
he declared hls belief that the white
man will lose bis 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 sentlnient
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 eleotlon of Wednesday—
the First and the Third,
In the First. '
In the first (Savannah district) there
was’a double fight for the seat of the
late Rufus R Lester—the short and
long terms. J. W. Overstreet was
nominated to fill the unexpired term
and W. W. Sheppard 'was chosen for
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 term by J. A. Bran
nen.
In the Third.
The Indications up to the latest hour
are that Hon. R B. Lewis has defeated
Hon. Dudley M. Hughes In the Third
district by a small majority. The race
was close In Sumter, the latest reports
Indicating that Hughes has a small ma
jority.
Lewis carried Macon county by over
40 plurality. Stewart went for Hughes
by about 50 votes. Schley Is In the
Hughes column by only 25 votes, while
Webster probably gives Lewis a good
plurality. Lee Is for Lewis, as Is Dooly
by a large vote.
In- Crisp Lewis’ plurality Is over 400,
while Lewis probably has a small lead
in Houston. Twiggs, Mr. Hughes'
home county guve him only 250 plural
ity over Lewis. Crawford county went
for Hughes by a small vote.
