The Georgia Election.
Washington POst.l

The defeat of Hoke Smith for gov
ernOr of Georgia is a flaming beacon
of warning to oVerzealous politicians
who try to make capital out of the
persecution of corporations. 1t is a
signal, direct from the people, giving
notice that the clever game of coun-
terfeiting Theodore Roosevelt is play
ed out. The people of Georgia are as
honest as the people of any other
State; they are just as much oppos-
ed to corporation control; they are
just as anxious to have cheap rail-
road rates; they are fully as much in
earnest in the warfare against polit-
ical corruption, but they evidently
know how to distinguish genuine re-
form from demagogy, and they refuse
to pull down their house in order to
kill the rats.
The Georgia election is we'll worth
the study of political leaders every
where. The craze for radical legisla-
ton as cure for human ills is rapid
ly passing away, and it is not safe for
aspiring office seekers to work the
game any longer.

Racing in New York has apparently
received a solar pleXus blow, the
state senate having passed the anti
race track bill by a vote of 26 to
25. The bill provides an imprisOn-
ment of not over one year for those
convicted of gambling on the races,
with no fine alternative. The passage
of the bill is a great triumph for
Gov. Hughes. 1t was beaten on Il
former occasion through the forgery
of a telegram to senator.

Had the Argument
Chicago Record~Herald)

In Georgia Governor Hoke Smith
who was immensely popular two
years ago, and was in the race for
the goyernorship then defeated an
able and attractive rival owing to
his radical views on railroad and cor
poration issues, is now beaten by q
man whom he ousted from Office and
tried to disgrace. The successful
candidate, Brown had no machine, but
he had arguments that convinced {
majority Of the Democrats, recent
business changes, Supreme Court de
cisions against state laws that were
unjust to railroads, and like develop
ments furnishing these arguments.
