A SCRAMBLE
1
AS TO WHO WILL BE CHAIRMAN'
OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
IN THIS STATE.
Ed. T. Brown, Warner Hill and Hoke
Smith Are Being Mentioned
For the Place.
Atlanta. June 23. Who will be
ehinirman of the statu convention?
is a question agitating not a few in
this; part of the siate. and parJcular
ij two or three very prominent gei:-
lemon.
According to current talk those
three are Hon. Ed. T. Brown, the
present chairman ofthe state dem
ocraaic ox<Yutlvt comm Hive;' Hon.
Warner Hill, chairman of Terrell’s
campaign and Hoke Smith.
There was considerable talk today
that. llr. Smith’s name might be pre
sented to the convention. The
friends of Warner Hill are also say
ing that he has justly earned the
place and should have it while those
erf present chairman Blown say he
has not had it long enough to now be
ousted.
A prominent gentleman said at t'ne
capitol this morning that Mr. Hill
was clearly entitled to it. He ar.
gued that J* :iad hen party precedent
for the manager of a successful cam
paign to be made chairman of the
state committee.
On the other hand .the Brown sup
porters say that precedents, especially
tor tin- past four years niatie the cam
paign chairman vice chairman of
the state committee, as in the case of
Mr. Brown, when Governor Candler
was elected, and. therefore, Mr.
Hill should expect nothhlng more
than tee vice chairmanship.
But Yeomans of Terrell aeiras to
have the cinch on that, and it is the
opinion here that Mr. llil! will accept
nothing short of thf> state chair
manship.
It is said that some of the Terrell
forces might divide up on the
proposition to elect a chairman even
if Hill was in the race but trial idea
hasn't gained much credit here, for
it is thought that if Hill insists on
it. they would line up solidly behind
him
It is also said that if Mr. Smith
allows the use of his name he would
draw supporters from tin' ranks of all
the three late candidates for govern
or —Terell. Estill and Guerry.
