-.>e SMITH FOR THE SENATE.

Stsfi - t"OtH SE-ANfN D I-s
16ore can lie no question but what
1cre Is sincere desire on the part
Il a vast majority of the people of
'eorgia for Hon Holie Smith TO rep
esent t2em in the senate of the
'nited Stateg. It is known all over
he state that Gov. Smith has long
cherished desire to occupy seat
6is august tOdy, ana it is known
IF All men that he possesses a rare
faracter Of talent, making him one
If he best equipped men in the
country fer service in the senate
Again, his policies, for which he has
aver stood, have been tried and test
ed bon in the matter OF writing
hem into good, healthy laws ana in
submitting t5cm TO the electorate of
he commonwealth, where they were
,ro@ned with the approval of his
people. This is the time when the
BEST element OF the party needs 70
20 SORT 10 Washington and to our
way ol thinking it is the proper time
FOR tho democracy of Georgia to
maze q demand on Gov. Smith to
accert service in the greatest delic-
rative body in the world.
Discussing this very subject in its
issue of yesterday, the WayclUss
Journal. one OF the most conserva-
tive newspapers i'll the state, has the
following, which is timely and whicl
appeals to us very strongly:
we believe that Hoke Smith is
the man TO represent Georgia in the
United States senate for three of the
very best reasons, as follows:
First because Hoke Smith repre-
sents tae governmental ideas of
three-fourths, Of the free thinking
people OF Georgia
Second. because t17e future of the
democratic party depends upon it's
work in the next two sessions OF con
gress, by carrying out the will
of the people, and in order to
do this the men to whom
the work is entrusted must be in full
with toe people, and I'M
derstand what they want, and most
need. There is no man in Georgia
in as close touch with the people as
Hoke Smith, and there is no man in
Georgia better qualified to represent
the people than Hoke Smith.
Third, if there is a state in the
Union that needs good, strong men
to represent it in the United States,
II is the state of Georgia. Georgia is
growing faster than any state in the
Union. and in order that she lie prop
erly represented in the highest legis-
lative body in the world, her strong
est and best experienced men should
be chosen as her senators
For these reasons the journal IA
vors Hoke Smith for United States
senator 1t was at the call of the
people that he made his third race
for governor, and we believe tat the
desire OF the people to make him SEN
ator is much stronger now than it
was last summer to make him cover
nor 1t is n fact that there are thou
sands of voters in Georgia who were
opposed him in all of his races for
Governor, who are now anxious to
have him made United States SEN
ator
There is but one argument against
his being a candidate for this office,
and that is that he mas Teen elected
Jy the people to serve as their gov
ernOr. and that he should do so re
rardless of all other things. TIE an
swer for this argument is that he
can serve during one session of the
legislature, and then resign after
having been elected to the senate. by
doing this ne would be able to ac-
ccmplish about all for which he was
elected and Thereby carry out the
will of the people.
I'VE do not relieve that Hoke
Smith will be candidate for SEN
ator unless re does so at the call of
TIE people. II the people Of Georgia
want him to serve them in the Unit
cd States senate they should come
forth with their appeals from all sec
lions of tie state, and demand it as
they demanded his candidacy for
governor.
