THE PEOPLE WANT H0KE SMITH
FOR GOVERNOR.

FOR GOVERNOR.
Taere is no question hut what the
people of the great state Of Georgia
want Hoke Smith for governor again.
That truth is manifest to the indivIu-
ual who will simply keep his eye on
the trend of events in the state. Day
by day delegations from all over Geor-
gia are fairly charging The home and
the offices of the big ex-governor, witt
supplications to offer for the place ne
filed SC well. Every mail brings to
him dozens and dozens Of letters from
the four quarters of the old common
wealth. urging him to permit the nse
# his name, while the unbiased and
fair-minded press is laundering to aim
to take up the fight again and relm't
the people to make him governor Of
Georgia.
Along these lines the following
from the Augusta Herald serves 10
bear evidence TO the sentiment now
being expressed from the lights OF s..
simon to the mountains Of Barlow.
Day by day as the time approaches
W en- the entries must be fled in the
gubernat0rial primary, it is becoming
more and more evident. as The II raid
has already pointed out, that the Eeo-
pie of Georgia want to see Hoke Smith
once more Governor of the State and
to fill out the second term of two
years t. which he was practically
elected, and under Democratic custom
for many years entitled.
The fact that the Democrats party
all over the country is putting out its
strongest and most available men for
office. the fact that nationwide Demo
cratic success is being predicted, mat
the next Congress is expected &c show
a Democrtic majority for the frs time
/ in many years, makes it all the 1ore
/ important that Georgia at this time
sholld put its best and strongest men
in office to represent the people.
Hoke Smith is Georsia's fcrem )st
citizen, and in the short time he was
in office accomplished more II the
people of the state than any gov
, f Georgia has been able to do since
! the war The successful fight of Ike
railroad interests of the state and the
So called whiskey ring and convict
lessees, and various other Interests
that were so Utterly opposed to HoEe
Smith in mis- previous successful car
yass of the state, was made possible
by the business panic which, though
it was nation wide, was charged dir
ecIy to Governor Smith, and this
movement in the hands OF the m."t
EXPERT politicians Of the at1f" aWep,
tire people off their feet for the time
beng. But The pendulum has long
since swung back and Georgia wants
It's offices filed by the abIesj and hes,
men.
However. ever since that TIM, tie
gee'ing has been wing in Georgia
that iloke Smith should serve the
state once more as Governor Of Geor
gia. And this feeling is taking eieui-
ucant acton in petitions from the PEG
pie. and from DELEGATIONS Waiting on
Hoke Smith and urging his conscd
to lnce more allow t1e use 0, his name
in the approaching primary. rs Illus
ration OF this feeling which is grow
ing all over Georgia, citizens of Nilli
RIGA aud Marietta have recently mac,
this demand on Governor H1he Smut.
And The Herald sincerely trusts
That Governor Hoke Smith will lister
J to the requests that are being mad,
, upon Aim from all sections OF the s'al,
and allow the use oi his nana in liz
. coming state primary"
