Mr.. Brown is Being Urged

Regarding the probability of his
candidacy for governor in opposition
to Gov. Smith, Mr.. Brown says:
81 have received scores of letters
and appeals coming from every Sec
ton of the State urging me to be-
come a candidate. l feel grateful to
my fellow-citizens for these express
sions of confidence and support and
shall give them that respectful con-
sideration to which l feel they are
entitled
Mr. Brown refused to discuss in
any way the probability of Mr.. Wat
sons supporting him.
Mr.. Brown will not do much speech
making. He is not an orator. 1t is
probable that he will travel about
the state and meet the people, and
make informal talks. However, his
principal method of gaining the ear
of the voter will be through the eyes
by using the newspapers.
1t is said that good campaigners
have volunteered their services in
case he announces his candidacy.
The Attitude of Watson
The position of Thomas E. Watson
in the prospective campaign is puz-
zling great many persons about the
capitol. He has taken occasion to
criticize the administration pretty
severely in recent issues of his sheet.
1t is known that he is "out" with the
governor-on account of being turn
ed down in the Glover case, if for
nothing else.
Whether or not he will advocate the
nomination of Joseph M Brown is
not known. 1t is stated that Mr..
Brown has assurances that the Popu-
list leader will not oppose him.
Prison Commissioners
K. R. Foster of Milledgeville, Jesse
Mercer of Fitzgerald, Wiley Will
liams of Columbus, and R. F. Davidson
of Gainesville are in the field for
prison commissioner to succeed Tom
Eason, who will not seek reelection.
Judge H. w. Powell of Vienna and
Captain r. H. Milledge and Matt
Cook are prospective candidates for
the same office.
The active campaign so far has
been between Judge Foster and Chief
Williams, the others not being very
