Kimball House today. Mr.. Watson
asked number of his friends from
various sections of the state to come
here for a conference, and there
were nearly a hundred of them rep
resenting thirty counties. 1t was
stated that the keynote of the meet
ing was denunciation of Hoke Smith
political methods and the steam

Mr.. Watson said the man who
was nominated for governor stated
he spent $l7,500 in his campaign.
Il have good information that he
spent $4,000" Watson continued.
Where did he get it?"
Mr.. Watson declared that Hoke
Smiths nomination was null and
void. There was talk at the confer
ence about an Independent candidate
for governor. 1t became pretty we'll

was going to name Gov. Brown as
his candidate and urge his friends
to vote for him even though he didn't
allow the use of his name.

What Watson called 'bossism"

FIRED IT RED HOT RIGHT OFF THE REEL
NOBODY TAKES IT SERIOUSLY
WatsOn's Efforts to Start Rucus
In Georgia Rank Failure.

III NTeOESld MAIN H dIilIGs
In spite of Tom Watson S
statement that he was authorized
to say Governor Brown would
go ahead and serve if the people
elected him at the election in
October nobody places any weight
to the matter.
In the first place Governor
Brown hasn't the slightest idea
of encouraging any such move
ment. He is a regular democrat,
and has been all his life. The
Atlanta papers have tried might
lily to shanghai him into making
a ridiculous statement to the eff
feet that he is not a candidate
and will not run. AS a matter
of fact he takes such questions
as a reflection on his common
sense and honesty, and properly
ignores them.
Watson's efforts to stir up
foment in the state is meeting
with little encouragement, ex-
cept from his own personal fol-
Loving, which will go with him
blindly wherever he leads.
Governor Brown is going
ahead calmly and peacefully at
tending to his affairs and those
of the state. He refuses to be
embroiled in the racket Watson
and others are attempting to kick
up. 1t is not his style, and not
his way of doing things,
