MUCH INTEREST
IN SMITH SPEECH
WILL ADDRESS
THE VOTERS OF ATLANTA
TOMORROW NIGHT.


ment of Hoke Smiths purpose to
speak at the auditorium in Atlanta
Friday night has revived attention
Of Fulton county and this. say the
Smith managers, is as they would
have it. They are pleased to have
the people from other sections of
Georgia ascertain the former COVER
nor's strength in the biggest county
in the state, and they rejoice in the
belief that this interest assures a rep
resentative audience of tremendous
proportions to hear the hnta
speech. The Atlanta auditorium is
the biggest thing of it's kind south of
Philadelphia, and never before has
candidate in Georgia, or elsewhere in
the south undertaken to deliver a po-
litical address in such an immense
auditorium.
1t is confidentially believed by Mr..
Smiths friends and advisers that his
Atlanta speech will be of more than
local intrest. 1t is calculated that
its effect will be statewide. While
the audience will, OF course, be COM
posed for the most part of citizens
Of Fulton county, it is altogether like
ly that hundreds OF Smith supporters
from adjoining counties and nearby
cities and towns will accept the OPP
portunity to hear the Atlanta speech
and Judge for themselves of the At
lanta demonstration.
The Smith campaign committee
announced Tuesday morning that la
dies would be welcome, and it is not
improbable that the fair sex will be
well represented.
In Fulton County.
r. J. Griffin announced Tuesday
that the mails of Monday afternoon
and Tuesday morning had brought
additional returns from several coun-
try districts and partial returns from
several additional city wards. These
he said, swelled the number of club
members and committals to consider
ably mere than half of the registered
voters of Fulton county. The returns
nave not yet been received from all
of the city wards and county dis
tricts, and Mr. Arnold is confident
that the situation will be improved
with each day from now until the
primary as reports come in
In my experience, ! have never
seen Fulton county in such good
shape for candidate as it now is for
Hoke Smith" said Mr.. Griffin. Con
siderably more than a majority of
the registered voters of the county
have either signed club membership
cards, tr are committed squarely to
the candidacy of Mr.. Smith. There
are always many voters, who for bust
ness or personal reasons prefer not
to identify themselves with the cam
paign club OF any candidate. 1t is
from voters of this class that we
have secured committals, that are
perfectly satisfactory to us in the
oalrajrn work we are doing in Full
ton county
At The Hoke Smith headquarters
en- Tuesday morning Messrs, H. Y.
Mecca and r. j. Griffin pointed to a
