IAN DIS leaT1l Cne only argument urged against
~ the resignation of Hoke Smith is that it would
necessate another election by the people. This OBJ
NY1 lection is based upon msconcepton of the law
E$Sa Under Section 580S of the Code the General As
G&9 sembly which convenes next june would elect a
Governor Brown If when Legislature so
Hoke Smiths gnaon shall have been made the
General Assembly would Immediately proceed elect the
Governor by viva vote.
No extra session of the Legislature is requisite There is
why Governor shouldn't be elected in about the
time that would take inauguate one chosen BY the
people at the polls.
No business interests would be disturbed and
pense would be incurred by the State.
Bear these facts mind when considering this remarkable
case: that Hoke Smith Informed by in private
letter of the charges that would be preferred against him. and
he appealed to- for the sake of his family and of the
public SERVICE to prevent the exposure of the horrible
of his private life by retiring from the in favor of Pope
Brown Murphy Gambler seaborn Wright He refused to
pay any attention to the letter. thus by that
spoke louder than words that he unwilling sacrifice

shire streak him apparently makes it impossible for him
to how untenabe is his position His towering self
