GOvERNORSnIP OF GEOR6|A |
TO BE DECIDED AT DEMOCRATIC
PRIMARY NEXT THURSDAY.
Close Of an Exciting Campaign in
Which Hoke Smith Seeks Re-
Election-A Unique Contest.

ATLANTA Ga. June. 1.-The governor
ship of Georgia will be decided Thursday.
June !. when the democratic state pri-
mary is hello. With the count complete
Gov. Hoke Smith will know whether alf
succeeds himself for two years from jan
uary 1. 1909. or whether Joseph NJ Brown.
the man he dismissed as railroad commits
sioner will take the gubernatorial chair.
The democratic state primary in Georgia
is the election. The republicans and other
parties do not bother with state ticket.
In the last contest five democratic can
didates developed strength and hunted
the governorship. This year the governor
and Mr.. Brown are the only ones in the
field
The campaign has been heated. but in
a unique way Hoke Smith has Travelled
from Brunswick in the south to Trenton
in the north speaking eTRHwhere. Whlle
Mr. Brown has remained In his Marietta
home with an occasional visit TO his mead
quarters in Atlanta. He says himself he
cannot speak To an audience. and he has
confined his campa gning to newspaper
articles Not once has he appeared on
the platform.
Candidates on Similar Platforms.
The fight is unique also in that both can
didates stand on similar platforms. Both
declare prohibition shall continue. that
they favor the Acknowledgement of the
negro. these being perhaps the two most
important questions which have been
under discussion.
An interesting phase of the campaign is
the fact that when Gov. Smith was inaug-
urated for his first term Joseph NJ. Brown
his present opponent. was member OF
the state railroad commisson-probab bly,
the most important board In Georgia
Within a very short time the governor
had dismissed Mr.. Brown. The reasons
for this dismissal have been under dis
cussiOn ever since.
An element of mystery pervades the
matter. because of mysterious sealed
letter which Is continually referred to in
the present campaign. Mr.. Brown declar-
ing he sent this letter to the governor and
The governor replying that it was returned
unopened What the letter contained no
one seems to know. 1t was seen before
he dismissal of Mr.. Brown and it has
been suggested in various quarters it con-
tanned his resignation.
The contest therefore has personal
side
The primary also elects to the state
convention. where the delegates to the
national democratic convention will he
chosen. but the national contest practical
ly has been forgotten in the warmth of
the state campaign. The state cOnven-
ton will be he'd June ~
