aa local counsel Hon. E. K. Over

Georgia’s leading legislators, and a
man conspicuous in the fight for the

squarely for Hoke Smith for govern¬

“Mr. Overstreet won fame as a leg

people of Georgia, by his display of
courage and character during a re¬
cent session of the legislature in
which he denounced the ‘lobby’ and
brought about an investigation of ita
persistent and aggressive tactics
around the state capitol. concerning

stating at the time that he was local
