M. GAMBLER VS.. D. RUSSELL
MAY BE THE STAR ACTORS IN
NEXT GOVERNOR RACE.
Railroad Taxation and Big Families
the Issues Around Which the
Fight Will Be Waged.

Fight Will Be Waged.
From the Americas Times-Recorder
Politics won't down in Georgia
There has been a decided revival O.
interest by two recent events, the
speech by Murphy Gambler on rail
; road taxation in this state and tho
birth of the thirteenth child of judge
Dick Russell.
The impression is growing that
Murphy Gambler is the favorite OF
the Smith faction for the next gubel-
material race, unless Hoke Smith
himself desires to enter the rihg
against Little joe" While it NAV
not be so, Gamblers speech on taxa
ton under the Smith regime in
Georgia seems very much like the
first gun. 1t was an elaborate de
lfense of the recent administration
and an emphatic denial of the charge
that it had been tyranical in it's
use of the taxation power so far as
transportation corporations are con-
cerned. 1t was very much just such
a speech as Ex-Governor Smith him
| self would be likely to deliver if
he were running again and on the
defensive as to his last policies in
this respect.
Politicians who keep their fingers
on the public pulse declare privately
that Murphy Gambler, while he would
make a good race, would not find
himself possessing the elements of
strength that he probably believes
are his. Gambler has, it is said,
alienated many strong men by his
rabid adherence to the Smith pro-
gramme, and has not the purely per-
sonal strength that he possessed a
few years ago. With the united
Smith forces behind him he would,
of course, make a formidable candi-
date. But could the master deliver
the goods to the follower? Would
the entire Smith strength rally
around the Gambler banner?
AS to Judge Russell, the chief fac
tor in his former race for the gov
ernorship was the fact that race sui
eide was unknown in his immediate
vicinity. He only had twelve chill
dren at that time The fact that
he now has thirteen of course in
creases his hold on the public esteem
and confidence by One-twelfth. or is
it one-thirteenth? The fact that the
| newcomer is the seventh son and
| that Dick himself was a seventh son
| INTRODUCES an element of strength
that only fortuneteller can ade-
| quately measure. The only really
serious objection to Judge Russell
as a candidate is that the state would
probably be put to the expense of
| building an annex to the guberna-
torial mansion to make room for the
! family. And even then, if he were
to serve two terms additional rooms
might have to be provided later on.
But between Gambler and Russell,
between railroad taxation and large
and larger families, we can imagine
a campaign that would reduce the
Smith-Brown scrap of 1908 to the
proportions of tempest in the tea
pot alongside of the recent tornado
on the gulf coast.
