HOKE SMITH WILL
OPPOSE Mr.. HOWELL
GEORGIA PROMISES TO HAVE ONE
OF THE WARMEsT CONTESTS
FOR GOVERNOR SEEN IN MANY
YEARS.

Atlanta, May 25.-(speciai.)-There
seems to be every indication now that
Hoke Smith, ex-Secretary of the Interior.
intends to enter the race for governor
next year. with the avowed purpose of
opposing Clark Howell, editor of the
Atlanta Constitution, who has long been
recognized as a candidate for governor
at that time.
There was an interview from Mr..
Howell in this mornings Constitution in
which he replied briefly to an interview
from Mr.. Smith, printed in yesterdays
Journal, and in which Mr.. Howell refer
red to his own record upon the question
of corporations, stating that he would be
glad to compare it at any time with that
of Mr.. Smith upon the same line.
In reply to this Mr.. Smith gave out the
the following brief. but pointed interview
today:
Mr.. Howell says that IL I am cam
ddate for governor, he desires to COM
pare his record with mine on the corr
poration question. This suggestion from
Mr. Howell inclines me to make the
race"
1t might be judged from this interview
that Mr.. Smith considers that Mr.. Howell
mas thrown down the gauntlet, and that
he is prepared to take 1t up.
1t is stated in this connection that Mr.
Smith is receiving many letters from all
parts of the state urging him to make
the race, and that pending his considera-
ton of the matter, he is making no reply
to these nor to the recent petition from
Morgan county In which a number OF
citizens asked him to get into the run
ming.
If Mr.. Smith follows out his apparent
intention, there is no doubt that next
year will witness one of the most inter
esting campaigns the state has ever
known
