GOV. SMITHS EYE
ON THE FUTURE
For Senator or GOv.---HiS
Friends atsWOrk.

Atlanta, Ga, October Gossip
in political circles has it that the
forces which were lined up back of
Gov. Hoke Smith in both of his races
for Governor are already actively at
work with an eye to the future They
are looking ahead and are going to be
ready for things political when they
next begin to shake up.
As an evidence of this wact it is
pointed out that what are denominat-
ed good government clubs" have
been organized in various sections of
the state Ostensibly to keep an eye
on offices and officials and to see that
the latter walk the straight and mar
row path. Politicians have it that
these good government clubs" are
nothing more nor less than Hoke
Smith organizations That the organ
ization of this sort recently formed in
Atlanta is composed chiefly of the
ardent advocates of the Governor
there is no doubt.
There are many men here in Allan
ia and in other parts of the state who
seemed to take Gov Smiths defeat
this year as a personal matter, and
their disappointment was of a per-
sonal rather than of a political nat
ufe. Seldom in the history of politics
have the followers of a mans politi-
cal fortunes exhibited such deep-root-
ed feeling, and the fact that they are
so firmly attached to his cause is, I'M
doubleday going to cut some figure
in the future politics of the state.

tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of
the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DR.. Kil1ner's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in ffty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle of this wonderful new dis
covery and book that tells all about it,
both sent free by mail. Address, DR.. Kill
mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When
writing mention reading this generous
offer in this paper. Don't make any
mistake, but remember the name, Swamp
Root, Dr. Kilner's Swamp-Root, and the
address, Binghamton, N. Y, on every
bottle

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and hiatt is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
the tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars free.

Senate or GovernOrship.

Just what turn the situation will
take is now a matter of pure specu-
lation. 1t is we'll known that Cover
nor Smiths ambition is to go to the
United States Senate. Whether his
next tight will be in that direction or
he will give his attention first to re-
trieving his position in the direction
of the governorship remains to be de-
termined. That he is factor who
will have to be reckoned with in flu
ture political slate-making, no one
doubts
1t seems to be generally conceded
that the second term precedent in
connection with the governorship, has
been smashed for some time to come.
When Joseph M. Brown boldly attack
ed Gov. Smith before the latter had
completed his first term. and then de-
feated him, the precedent of giving
a governor a second term ended right
then and there. If Mr.. Brown should
make an able Governor and his
friends and supporters should put
him forward as a candidate for a sec
ond term, there is still no question
that he will have opposition. There
are many who believe his opponent
in 1910 will be Governor Smith; 9TH
ers have it that the friends of Gov
Smith will get back of Fuller e. Cal
laway, of LAGRANGE, at present mem
Der of the State Railroad Commission
and a man of considerable business
and executive ability.
The success of any candidate back
ed by the Governors friends would
undoubtedly, be viewed as his politi-
cal rehabilitation and if might he
that he would make the race for SEN
ator on the strength of it, particular
ly as the senatorial election is now
settled in the state primary, practi-
cally by vote of the people.
Should the Governor carry his SEN
atorial aspirations to the people anC
win out, without the Intervention Of
any other political victory, it would
indeed be a political rehabilitation Of
which he would have the right to be
justly proud
1t must be remembered that Gov
| Smith received more votes in the
/ primary of 1908 than it required tt
/ elect him in 1906, the increase being
/ approximately 5000 That of itsel
/ is evidence of his strong position
How his opponents will meet hi!

oped only by the moves which b,

That he will meet determined opposi

Republican Majority Large.

With results as above, the Senate
on Mr.. 'Bryan's hypothetical inaugu-
ration, would be composed of 43
hold-Over Republican senators, and,
with the 10 taking their seats March
4, would aggregate SO of that party;
and there would be 10 hold-over
Democratic senators and II taking
their seats March 4, total of SO
Democrats in the upper house, the
Republicans still maintaining a large
majority.
But in 1911 there will be "a Repub-
lican senators retiring, and only
Democrats whose terms will expire.
Yet, with this preponderance of Re-
publican outgoing senators it would
be necessary for the Democratic party
to obtain the election of II of the 80
seats which will be vacated March 4,
1911, to give them a bare majority of
the United States Senate, the Senate
in that contingency showing AZ DEM
ocrats to As Republicans.
Senators from the following States
will retire March 4, 1911:
Republicans-California, Connecti-
cut, Delaware, Indiana, Maine Massa-
chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis-
souri, Montana, Nebraska Nevada,
New Jersey, New York, North Dakota,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island
Utah, Vermont, Washington, West
Virginia Wisconsin, and Wyoming
"a. mocrats-Florida, Maryland,
Mississippi Civilians, Dem, chosen j,
Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia-6.
1t is hard to see, according to poll
ticians, how the Democratic party
could get seventeen senator's from
the above 80 States in 1911, unless
there should be a great Democratic
triumph this fall, and an even greater
victory in the middle of Mr. Bryan's
administration in 1911.
