SMITH BACKS BRANTLEY?
MAY HAVE TO DO so IF HE
HOPES TO DEFEAT TERRELL.
The Senatorial Situation Has POIiti-
clans Guessing. Terrell UndOubt-
edIY Has Best of 1t So Far.

The Senatorial Situation Has POliti-
clans Guessing. Terrell Undoubt-
eddy Has Best of 1t So Far.
ATLANTA, Ga.-The prospect of
William G. Brantley, congressman
from the Eleventh district, entering
the race for United States senator
for the unexpired term of the late
! Senator A. S. Clay has lent lively
interest and color to the situation.
The politicians are hard at work try
ing to figure out just what this
means.
One of the causes of considerable
speculation in this connection is that
Congressman Brantley and Senator
Jos. NJ. Terrell, whom he would have
to oppose, are the same color" of
politics. 1t might be said that they
both belong to the Joe Brown
school, as distinguished from the
"HOke Smith school"
RumOrs that Governor elect Smith
would favor the cause of Congress-
man Brantley are, therefore inter
esting. 1t seems highly improbable
that there could be any understand
ing between them, and yet stranger
things have happened in politics.
1t is rather doubtful if Mr. Smith
makes the race, Notwithstanding
| there is nothing he would like bet
ter than seat in the senate And
yet it is almost equally certain that
he would go as far as possible to
compass the defeat of Joe Terrell,
even though he had to select a can
didate from another school of poll
tics than his own. This is natural,
in view of the fact that Senator Ter
rell did so much to defeat him for
governor when Governor Brown was
elected two years ago.
1t is suggested, too, that Mr.. Smith
no doubt realizes that neither Hon.
w. A. CoVington of Moultrie nor
Congressman T. w. aHrdwick of the
Tenth district is strong enough to
| defeat Senator Terrell, and that it
will take man with more than a
mere local strength to do the work.
Whether or not there is anything
back of this conjecture it is the dope
| the politicians are putting on the
senatorial situation just at present.
