Former Governor ReiterateS
His Statement of Last Sat-
uTday, in Which He Refused
to Become Candidate
DETERMINATION CANNOT
BE SHAKEN, HE DECLARES
Many Petitions, Letters and
kilograms, However, Insist
ing That This Defamation Be
Withdrawn

In second statement issued on We'd
nesday. ex-Gov. Hoke Smith reiterates
his statement made last Saturday. in
q candidate for governor.
This statement appears in full under
q separate head.
In it. Mr.. Smith says in effect that his
previous declination was made after care
full consideration. and that IL is now
unaIterabIe. He declares that he has re-
ceived many letters and kilograms from
the state urging him to change his mind.
but that nothing can alter his decision.
He adds that II his friends knew the
reasons leading him to this step. they
would appreciate his feelings Il the mat
ter. He also declares that IT pains him
very much to know that he cannot yield
&c the wishes OF his loyal supporters
throughout Georgia.
Wednesdays statement win bring
deep disappointment to thousands of peo-
pie. who had hoped that Mr.. Smith could
see his way clear to reconsidering his
declination and allowing his name to be
used.
WHOLE STATE AROUSED.
As told in Tuesdays Journal. many re-
quests that he so reconsider came in a
short time following the circulation Of
petitions. These requests came from d.
vergent sections OF the state, showing
that the movement was statewide in its
effect.
on the same day that Mr.. Smith first
announced he could not become a candi-
date. a meeting Of his supporters in
Fulton county was held. and a set Of
resolutions was adopted in which vigor-
Gus protest was made against his &C
ton. and the state was called on 10
rally to a movement which would force
Mr.. Smith. above any personal reasons,
10 consent TO have his name used
This powerful pressure. however, was
without avail. and Mr.. Smith stood
steadfast In his determination not TO
make the race. That his refusal could
have reused such widespread protest. is
a tribute to the mark Mr.. Smith has
made on the political life OF the state.
The reforms on which he was elected
are on the statute books OF Georgia. and
reform government received an impetus
which will last for years in the state.
Notwithstanding the second declination.
petitions, letters and kilograms continue
TO pour in from the state. urging Mr..
Smith to reconsider. All such communal
cations received BY Mr.. Smith he will
not give out for publication. but the fol-
lowing. sent TO The Journal. give an
idea OF what they contain:

move by the State Pharmaceutical
Board, which is carrying on cru
SADIE against the illegal sale of cocaine
in this city. was made today when
Benjamin P. Ashmead, United States
government inspector of drugs for the
port of Philadelphia, was arrested on

BILE for Ashmead to obtain cocaine at
81 an ounce and sell it to peddlers at
So an ounce. These peddlers, DR.. Koch
