ONE VIEW OF THE JEFF'S
FOURTH"
G. Il. johnson in Montgomery (Ala.)
Times.

Atlanta, Ca, July 5.-The United
States senatorial situation grows
more earnest, desperate and interest
ing with every passing day
The program at present is for
Hoke Smith to be elected to the
senate on first ballot, next TIA esday.
Former Governor Joseph NJ Ter
rell, present senator; Hon. Pleasant
Stoyall, editor Of The Savannah
Press, and Hon. w. A. Covington,
tie south Georgia orator and states
man, will oppose this cut-and dried
slate that has been made by Smith
and his followers. Smith can I'M
doubtedly swing the legislature un-
less some strong and powerful work
is accomplished before next Tues
day.
One thing I notice, however, about
these Georgia people-they are SO
foolish as to want to choose their
senator themselves. They want to
vote on him in primary letting
the legislature = afterwards confirm
and ratify their work. Smith is
against this idea. He is not nearly
so strong with the common people
Of the state as he was when last be-

the legislature" for the avowed pur-
pose Of deadlocking the body and
forcing primary over the heads
Of HoKe Smith and his friends. This
committee Of twenty-five has power
to CFoose two men from every county
in Georgia, call them to Atlanta, pay
their expenses, and keep them there
until the legislature provides for a
senatorial primary. This monster
crowd Of people gathered at Thomson
yesterday was plainly and visibly
hostile to Smith. No sage, prophet,
seer or investigator, was needed to
tell this. They say Hoke and his
legislators are doing them wrong in
denying them the privilege of the
ballot on so important question as
that of electing a senator from Geor-
gIa. So it looks like there might be
a deadlock, but it is undoubtedly the
present program to elect Smith on
the first ballot. But that's not say
ing it will be done.

1t is always so, They cause appears
to the people. A crowd, fund, an
enthusiasm, an achievement-if the
people be interested
Such orderliness such hospitality,
such broad fellowship, such practical
purposes really may be seen in such
a gathering.
This must become a fixed, an in
stitutional day. The public good de-
mands it. The guests here this year
will proclaim the day in such manner
as will insure a larger day next year.
While Daddy Jim met many of his
little friends and big friends, yet
the Sunny South Broth erhood puts
forward very modestly it's claim as a
benefactor. This band is prospecting.
About one thousand dollars were
raised and disbursed last year That
is not the biggest thing done. Many
individuals have gone to work pri-
vately, under the S. S. B. Association
and are working philanthropically in
various ways. Consider, in addition,
the tremendous effect of the love,
the letters, the interchange Of SYM
patty, tie courtesies begotton of this
association.
The possibilities of such a conclave
are SO apparent that we feel safe
in leaving the topic here, confident
that many features will come with
our next meeting. There is needed,
not organization so much as manipu-
latiOn of organs. The l eople are
back Of the movement They want
to learn how best to put into varied
activities, the energies in such a body
of persons attending slch a meeting.
