HON. HOkE SMITH FOR Gov
ERNOR.
ERNOR.

Hon. Hoke Smith for governor, in the
impending gubernatorial race.
There is wealth of sound logic
in the position of the Times-Enter-
prise, all Of which is commended to
the people OF this community.
Coming resolutely to the front in
time of direct need, Hon. Hoke Smith
has decuared himself candidate for
governor to succeed Governor Brown.
This announcement spread abroad
through the state yesterday has
caused a world of comment. The
political situation has been changed
so completely that it's former COM
plexion cannot be recognized. Mr..
| Smith several months ago was urged
strongly to enter the race; he had
friends thrGugbout the length and
| breadth of the state who were insist
tent that he simply allow the use of
his name. The people had expert
enced change of feeling. The prin-
cipIes which he advocated so strongly
and which he carried into effect
| through personal effort were again
first in the hearts of Georgia's peo-
pie. They. wanted champion for
and it was natural that they should
turn in their hour of need to t
founder and instigator of these prin-
ciples which he advocated so strongly
and which ne carried into effect
through personal effort, were again
first in the hearts of Georgia's peo-
pie. They wanted champion for
their rights. one worthy and capable,
and it was natural that they should
turn in their hour of need to the fOun-
der and instigator of these princi-
pies.
Mr. Smith could not enter the race.
The people respect and admired his
reasons for refusing. His family, his
wife demanded his attention and he
was ready and willing to sacrifice mis-
personal aspirations for the love he
bore his wife.
Governor Brown, in his message to
the legislature, precipitated the CON
fiict, when he strongly urged that all
the principles which Hoke Smith had
Brown attacked the registration law
severely, he pointed out its defects
without allowance for its good points.
Not satisfied with that he vigorously
recommended the breaking down of
all the laws which the legislature
under the guidance of Mr.. Smith
enacted for the railroad commission
and the curtailment of all the evils
which so annoyed and impeded the
rights of the people He would have
the state re-enact laws that would
put the railroad commission upon
the same basis which caused so much
dissension and dissatisfaction. He
minimized its usefulness and inten-
sifed its expense, against all rea-
son
Again the call to arms re echoed
through the state and in answer 10
that call the peoples champion again
came to the front and took charge
of the campaign. He is peerless
leader, a man with force and power
second to none, with ideas redolent
with good for the people and with a
mind and intelligence which caused
the state to go for him with almost
unprecedented majority.
The present owners of the Times
Enterprise were for him in his last
race when the people of the state
denied him the privilege of a second
term, a termh necessary for the pro-
per enforcement of the principles
which he was selected to put
through. The people have begun TO
realize their mistake and their de-
mand at this time for him and for
what he stands is more urgent than
ever before. He places himself be-
fore his people with principles for
their rights, against the corporate
greed and the injustice Of the mighty
and the people are going to come to
his standard They have had taste
Of the other side and it has taught
them the splendid qualities of the
principles which thew first advocated
