Several years ago William J Manning,

WHY SMITH REMOVED BROWN
GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA RE-
VIEWS TROUBLE.
Says Man Who Is to Succeed Him
Played Into Railroad Hands-In-
cident of 'Sealed Letter."

ATLANTA. Ga, July 20.-Gov. Hokt
Smith sent to the Georgia legislature to-
day a special message giving his reason.
for removing Joseph NJ. Brown as mem
Der of the state railroad commission il
1907.
Mr.. Brown is the present governor-elect
having defeated Mr. Smith in the recent
democratic primary.
The governor in his message reviews the
act of the railroad commission in reduc
ing rates in Georgia. this action having
been opposed by Mr. Brown.
while l concede the right of a com
missioner to disagree to the action of the
ma jOrity in reducing a freight or passen-
ger rate or fixing an obligation upon the
railroad companies. | deny his right to
remain upon the commission and furnish
arguments and evidence for the railroad
companies to attack the action of the
commission in the courts" reads the
message.
This Gov. Smith charges Mr.. Brown
with having done. The governor says
that considerable litigation was pending
against the state. actions having been
brought by the railroads, and declares:
THE advantage to the state by filling
Browns place by a commissioner who
would support the action of the commits
sion was Obvious
The message refers at considerable
length to the Sealed letter episode Be
fore Mr.. Browns suspension Gov. Smith
received a letter from him containing
an Enclosure in sealed envelope, accom-
panied by a note to the effect that the
small envelope contained card which
Mr. Brown had refrained from writing in
the gubernatorial campaign two years
ago.
The message reads:
1.-THE inference was that he desired me
and me alone to know the text Of some
attack which he had refrained' from pub
fishing during the gubernatoriai race.
but which, if l suspended him from office,
he would publish
The governor writes he considered that
the letter removed all reason for hesita-
ton, and he consequently suspended
Brown from the railroad commission, re-
turning the inner envelope of Mr.. Brown s
letter unopened.
