HOKE SMITH AGAIN
CHOSEN GOVERNOR

Atlanta, October 5.--Holke Smith was
today elected to serve a second term
as governor of Georgia. Incomplete
returns indicate that Gov. Joseph M.
Brown, who was defeated for the CUB
ernatorial nomination in the August
democratic primary and whose name
was today placed before the voters as
an Independent democratic candidate,
received a majority of the votes cast
in only two of the 146 counties of the
state. All of the regular democratic
nominees for state and county offices
ticket being inconsequential
Three constitutional amendments
were apparently adopted by large ma
jorities. One of these provides that
counties may levy taxes in support of
high sch ools, the others being local
in effect.
The disaffection in the Georgia dem
ocracy manifested in the opposition to
the regular nominee for governor was
the most serious party split in many
years and resulted in today's vote be-
ing much larger than that normally
polled in general election.
Governor Brown stated that the ac-
ton of Thomas E. Watson and 9TH
ers in placing his name before the
voters as an independent was without
his thorization, but he declined to
state whether or not he would serve
If elected. He answered. however. that
he would support nominees of the
party.
Returns at 9 o'clock indicated that
Governor Brown carried Glasscock
county by vote of to l and War
rem county by majority of Is votes.
Tom Watsons home county, McDuf-
fie, went for Smith by vote of near
ly to l.
Returns received up to a late hour
tonight from 100 counties give an APP
priximate total Of 1880 or which Co.
600 were for Smith and 1880 for
Brown. Returns from Lincoln county
indicate that Brown carried that coun-
ty by a majority of 6.

Rome Is Interested

Rome, October 5.-The events in Por-
tugal are being followed here with the
keenest interest. especially at the vati-
can, where the news of the revolution
has distressed more than it has sur
prised The Pope particularly has been
moved by the tragic events and has of
fered prayers that solution may be
found to avoid further bloodshed.
The vatican distinctly desires to con-
tradict the statement that King Manuel
has been too friendly to the clerical
party. The recent religious troubles
in Portugal and the speech from the
sthrone a few weeks ago. it is point
ed out, demonstrate the erroneousness
of this statement. In that speech the
King threatened war against the re-
lfgious orders and the holy see expect
ed a repetition In Portugal of the pol
icy which Premier Canalejas is con-
Quoting in Spain.

Surprise In New York

New York, October 5.-News of the
revolution In Portugal came as com
plete surprise to Audifaco s. Gonvra,
acting Portuguese consul in this city.
Mr. Gonvra said he had no intimation
that such an unheaval was imminent and
he Is without advices from his govern
ment. Regarding conditions in Portugal,
Mr.. Gonvra said: II was in Portugal a
year ago. Unrest was abroad and repub-
llcan sentiment seemed to be growing.
Plots and counterplots were common.
Then there is the church question to
|complicate matters. The anti-clerical
feeling is to a great degree co-extensive
with the anti-monarchical feeling. What
surprises us most In the dispatches is the
fact that the army and navy turned
against the King. Hitherto they had
been uniformly loyal. OF course, il they
have actually turned against him, which
am still little inclined to doubt. the
present revolution will be permanent

Therefore, in the opinion of British

Navy in Sympathy

Tt Is pointed out that the navy has
shown increasing sympathy with the re-
pubicans since the revolt of the war
ship vasco da Cana in 1906. The sailors
have been resentful because of the con-
viction and Imprisonment of their COM
rades. Since then the navy has been
the object of suspicion and at the recent
elections, as a measure of precaution,
the government ordered the warships to
leave Lisbon. While the higher officers
of the army are faithful to the monarchy
the subalterns are permeated with re-
publican doctrines.
Advices to the French foreign office
state that disorders broke out this after
noon In Oporto. but were repressed by
tho troops. 1t Is also reported that the
Duke of Oporto has embarked on the
yacht Amelia with members of the royal
family.
Today's express train for Lisbon was
crowded with passengers, including rep
resentatives of French business houses
with interests in Portugal Among the
passengers was Senhora Castillo Blanco,
wife of the Portuguese foreign minister
She was surrounded at the station by a
group of anxious Portuguese women.

Paris, October 5.-Diplomacy already is

would have upon the international rela-

economic Importance is great and should
a republic actually be attained it is be-
lieved not unlikely that the commercial
ties would lead Portugal to turn the
dynastic understanding with Great Brit
ain into a formal alliance
From a political standpoint the epoch
making events in Portugal are of chief
interest with reference to a possible
repercussion in Spain, where the political
atmosphere Is now very unsettled The
republicans are strong In Madrid and
other cities in Spain. They have made
notable strides, particularly in the last
election, and the controversies and man
Hesitation over the relations between the
church and state have been a perpetual
source of unrest
1t Is considered here that the presence
in Lisbon of Marshal Hermes Fonseca,
president-elect of Brazil when he was
wildly acclaimed by the people after the
aSSdssiudtioii VI LII. ooihpdrda, tne re-
publican deputy, were psychological in
cidents which famed the smouldering
fires of revolution. Lisbon's gay decora-
tions in honor of the Brazilian presi-
dent-elect became emblems of the Portu-
guese cry of revolt.
As there is no confirmation that the
revolution has engulfed the rest of the
realm, there is a possibility that civil
war will be averted

Kings Visit Abandoned

there are difficulties of long standing be-
tween Germany and Portugal over a
treaty of commerce, and further, that the
Lisbon courts sympathies with Great
Britain are regarded unfavorably at Ber-
lin. Germany. the paper thinks, fears
that the Portuguese monarchy will not
endure. and attributes the situation to
the fact that King Manuel refused to
marry Bavarian princess or an Aus
trian archduchess. The French press
expresses no surprise at the DEVELOPMENTS
In Portugal. The Temps points out that
for months the monarchy has been strug-
Cling against insurmountable difficulties.
1t says:
The savage murderer of King Carlos
and the crown prince placed upon the
throne a child incapable of individual
initiative ana Judgment, the plaything
of men and events in the royal drama,
who could not purify the corrupt po-
litical atmosphere. This condition could
not endure. Incapable ministers strug
gled through financial scandals with
monarchial framework cracking and
falling. This collapse was the repub-
lican opportunity"
What VIII Spain Dor
The Temps wonders whether in the
event of the success of the republic
Spain Will make armed Intervention to
restore the monarchy.
The Journal des Debats considers
that the real cause of the revolution
was anarchy. which. it says. has been
destroying the nation for more than a
generation. The PAPER adds:
Never was country so deplorably
governed. Ministries changed but the
system never. 1t was always division
of the spoils. 1t was the same rotation
in office and corruption as destroyed
Greece. Every economic and financia,
interest of the government was pros
tituted to serve the personal interests
of the reigning group and their clans,
who were Obliged to feed a crowd of
hungry followers"
King Carlos saw the danger, the pa

and republican opposition overwhelmed
