SMITH AND BROWN OPPOSED
Governor Dismissed Railway Com
missioner and Latter Is Now His
Bitter Opponent and Critic-Prohi-
bition Good fOr Negro, says Editor,
but White Man Can Get a Drink.

Clark Howell editor of the Atlanta Con-
stitution, was at the shoreham yester-
day. on his Tay home from New York
Two years ago Mr.. Howell yas an active
participant in the Georgia gubernatorial
campaign which resulted in the election
Of Hoke Smith. after one of the bitterest
personal fights ever waged IN the Cracker
State. This year the fight is renewed.
Hoke Smith is again candidate His
opponent is former Railroad Commits

Personal and Political Row.
THE fght between Gov. Smith and Mr..
Brown for the nomination Is hot and will
be decided June 4. at the primaries" said
Mr.. Howell yesterday. I'm taking no
part in it. simply printing the news Of
both sides. The fight is a personal one.
Gov. Smith. when he was elected,
ousted Brown as railroad commissioner
when Browns term had but three weeks
to run. Brown is making his campaign
against Smith on the campaign argument
that Smith had not redeemed any Of
his pledges. that be knew when he made
those pledges that he could not redeem
them; that his campaign OF two
years back was simply an appeal to the
prejudices and passions OF the people for
the purpose Of getting Office
Brown BIames Smith.
More than that. Brown holds that the
character Of the campaign waged by Gov.
Smith two years ago was largely con-
tributable 10 the disasterous consequences
that overwhelmed the agricultural and
manufacturing industries OF the State
Smith denies ali these charges, and
says he was not responsible for the
panic, as that originated in Wall street
Gov. Smith made his campaign two
years ago on an appeal for the disfraB-
ehisement OF the negro. The disfran-
chisement amendment to the State con-
stitutiOn has been passed by the legisIa-
ture. and will be submitted 10 the people
for their consideration at the October
State election, when the State officers are
elected"
HowelI's Views on Liquor.
Asked what effect prohibition was hav-
ing on the State Of Georgia. sIr. Howell
said:
As far as the negro Is concerned, pro-
hibiton IS a good thing Il keeps him
away from temptations and has de-
creased the number OF cases in the re-
cordeT's court in Atlanta Previous 10
the enforcement Of the prohibition statute
fully Is per cent Of the cases were ne
groes.
Liquor has the same effect on the
negro as it had or the Indian They do
not mix. Without LIQUOR the negro works
well. and there is much less trouble with
him than when he could get a drink
whenever he wanted Il.
Blind tigers are few and far between
in Atlanta I believe the same condition
exists throughout the State AS far as
the white man Is concerned. he can get
drink almost any time he wants IL.
This he does by sending 20 Chattanooga
and having II shipped to his home.
I look for good results from the en-
forcement OF the prohibition law. espe-
eially as it applys 10 the negro
