THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. VILUME 5, NUMBER 240 HOKE SMITH IS MIN TENTH —♦ — Indicating are That He Will Carry Dis trict TINS COUNTIES DOUBItUL The Other Four Candidates Are Doing the Same Brother in-Law Stunt That They Are Here. —Hoke is Leading the Van. Clarksville, Ga., August, lli. —Way up here in northwest Georgia the po litical pot is boiling even hottn than it is down our way, and on every turn you ale questioned as to haw you stand on tne gubernatorial race. At every hotel a poll is taken almost dally and the political situation is the topic ot conversation among the summer visitors as well as the home .people. That Hoke Smith is the leading candidate in this section ot the state there is no doubt, but the supporters Of Howell and Russell and KstUl ana Jim Smith are trying to conduct the same campaign as in old Glynn—any and everything to bring about the de feat of Hoke Smith Here in Habersham the supporters of the four other candidates li.st en deavored to concentrate their force upon Clark Howell, tout the effort tail ed flatly, and now it seems that they are going to make an effort to carry the county for Dick Russell, out the Hoke Smith men are sanguine that they will, by majority, carry Die county. Over in Hall the situation is about the same. Leaders against Hoke Smith are trying to whip uli the auti- Hoke Smith men into line for Estili but that effort has also fallen flat and it is admitted that Hoke willl car ry the county overwhelmingly. In Stephens, the new county, the Howell, Estili and Jim Smith forces have combined and are supprting Rus sell, ani| it is probable that he will parry tlie county, although Hoke Smith men aye making a hard fight. In Rftyhun it looks like an easy fight for Hoke there not being enough supporters of the other candidates to swing the county for any one m them. In these parts Dick Russelt seems to be running next to Smith and wilt get a few of the counties. However, it looks as if Hoke Smith will carry a large majority of the counties in this, the Ninth congres sional uistrict formerly known as the ‘‘bloody tenth." He lias been heard in almost every county in the district and has left the same impression as elsewhere in the state. To the writer today, a well known politician, who js supporting Russell, said: “While f ani against Hoke Smith, i believe fip Will carry every county in this district with the probable exception of two, which, I think, will go to Rus sell. Howell and Estili are practical ly out of the race In this section of the state.” As far as the Smith men deserting their man. there is no evidence ot such action, but, on the other hand, It seems that in many instances, when an effort is made to whip tlie men in line for someone candidate they get mad, and, instead of obeying orders, are goiug to vote for Hqkti Bmith, and it looks as it all efforts tq concentrate the st ength of the voters on one man to defeat Hoke Smith, will fail. The voters pf this section are an x!pus)y waiting for Wednesday, eager to assist in wrecking that Georgia ring.

He calls parlknilai attention to the work of the order in San Fran cisco, saying: '( am proud that we were the first, of the fraternal orders to offer aid to 1 lie impoverished and homeless, and ! am proud that we do nated to the cause more money than any simiiiar body; yet I take more satisfaction and find more pleasure in the fact, tLai the donation made and the help extended came with a willingness showed the big heart ot the order. It was fitting that Mother Aerie No. I, Seattle, Washing ton. should'lead the list with the lar gest contribution—-$3,550. The total San Francisco relief fund was $00,1)00. Among his recommendations are the following: "We have giown so large that them, is urgent need for the formation of state aeries that it ma not be so necessary for the grand officers to keep in : uch close touch with tho smaller aeries.

Thu command is in pretty good shape and was thoroughly reorganized a few months ago and lias among its officers and members some of the most representative citizens of Bruns wick. About 15,00'J members of the uni form rank accompany the supreme lodge on its biennial trips. This year the attendance of the soldier branch of the order will not In- up to t he us ual for the reason that the supremo lodge, in Louisville, two years ago, chose an extreme point. The supreme lodge representatives and officers re ceive mileage and per diem, and there fore are not personally affected by the distance, ctxcept, perhaps, to profit by the greater distance, while the uni form rank members have to go down in their pockets and pay the freight. This branch of the order, led by the late General Carnahan, of Cali fornia, made a hard fight gt (ho last convention for a more- central point for this year's meeting, so that more of the uniformed Knights might have the privilege of attending, hut the ex travagant promises made by Now Or “■ana committee was too tempting to resist.

During the next few days the poli ticians of Glynn county will be busy working for their respective candida tes in Hu; gubernatorial fight and it is safe to assume that some good work will he done. Ah is a well known fact, the light •lore is between Hoko Smiili and Es till. with chances in favor of the for mer by quite a safe majority. Estili money lias been flourishing around for the past, few days, not however in an unlawful way, hut to pay for litera ture favorable to the Savannah can didate. articles in the papers, extra papers, etc. Duly a few nights ugo several thousands 'papers containing Bran Hey's' spool h were printed and of course the Estili committee pill I for it because hiu name works mighty well at the business end of a cheek and a check, it is understood, lias been sent. There is no doubt of Hie fact Unit Hold’ Smith has been gaming since the Estili rally at the opera house. Duly a few people knew that the Savannah candidate hud endorsed a negro for collector of customs against lion. Henry T. Dunn and (lie worst of the matter is that the negro got lihe aptittinlment. Cllol. Estili after wards refused to endorse the same ne gro for the same position in Savan na li good enough for Brunswick hut not good enough for Savannah, ana that's the way we would get It in the neck should the man from Hav uniiah (where he made all Ills mon ey) get into the gubernatorial clmir. And then that state road matter. It should ‘be extended to BOTH SAVAN NAH and BRUNSWICK. Well! Wily not include Darien, St Marys, Fancy Bluff, etc., m the statement of what he would do. Give all the ports a chance—take the road to every place that has a river—this argument is just as sensible as F, still’s statement that should the stale road he extended he would favor both Savannah aim Brunswick. He loves south Georgia, dear old south Georgia but he did not. love It enough to support Judge Spencer It. Atkinson, a Brunswickiau. He says he ottered to support Brant ley for the governorship—must have known that Brantley ABSOLUTELY would not enter the race. It anything to heat 8 mttti.
