Hon. Joe Hill Hall, of the county OF
Bibb, unaffected by the sultry weather
or the strenuousness which already
marks the campaign, has issued
card to the people in which he ex-
presses dissatisfaction with the candi-
dacy of Hon. Hoke Smith, and at the
same time withholds his support from
Hon. Clark Howell.
Apparently he is convinced that the
race is between these two conspicuous
aspirants. He has little time to de-
vote to any one else. He questions
the sincerity of Mr.. Smiths reform
ideas and identifies Mr.. Howell with
corporate interests.
The Hon. Joe Hill Hall has been an
Ishmaelite from time whereof the MEM
ory of man runpeth not to the con-
trary. He is essentially an agitator,
and with his stentorian tones upon the
platform and in the forum, and with
