The Gubnatorial Situation

Atlanta, July 13-Hoke Smiths
election to the United States Senate
yesterday diverted attention from
what has been en- absorbing matter
of political interest to a gubernato-
rial campaign which gives every
promise of rivaling in both heat and
interest the several similar contests
of recent years.
While efforts are being made to
create the impression that Governor
Brown will have a walkover, gaining
the support of many Smith men, it
may be authoritatively stated that
the progressive" democrats of Geor-
gia will line up in a solid phalanx
in opposition to Mr.. Brown. 1t is
believed by their leaders that there
are any one of half dozen men who
could defeat Mr.. Brown, and it may
be stated that an effort will be
made to center upon some man to
turn the trick.
Attorney General Thomas S. Eel
der, of Macon, is already talked
of by many of the leaders of the
"Progressives." His public record
and his private life. his youth,
strength and vigor, to say nothing of
