parent efforts to get Attorney General T. S. Fielder of Macon into the race, but so far his present office. one of consid- erable dignity and Importance, looks mighty good to him.
 Logically, it looks as if they would sup port Pope Brown because of the fact that he retired from the race to let Hoke Smith run the first time when he carried something like 135 counties. But they have not as yet moved in his direction, nor can they consistently support Dick Russell, who, despite his recent statement that he proposes to make Governor Smiths inaugural address, his platform has generally been considered on the other side of the political fence.
 Then there is Dr. L. G. Hardman of Jackson county, long a member of the legislature and one of the authors of the present prohibition law, who is just spelling for a chance to break into the running. Whether he will see it at this time has not yet developed
 Judge J. K. Hines, special attorney for the railNaad commission, an office to which he was appointed by Governor Smith, has made "a sort of tentative announcement, but it does not appear to have stirred things up seriously.
 Woods Are Full
 There are plenty of others talked of, such as Comptroller General William A. Wright Hon. Joe Hill Hall of Bibb, but there is little if any likelihood of their getting into It.
 Why the name of Railroad Commis- sioner Murphy Sander has not appeared on the horizon it is little difficult to figure out. He has long figured on mak- ing the race to succeed Governor Smith, and was a tentative candidate for the United States Senate before it was defin- itely known whether it would go to sthe governor. He is, perhaps, the strongest of the out-and-out Hoke Smith men who are figuring in current politics. Maybe he is being held in reserve to be sprung at decisive moment. But 1t Is generally agred by friend and foe alike that the man who beats Murphy Sander would have to make the race of his life for the l job

yeoman service to MT. Smith in his quiet
 senatorial campaign. and it was natural
 ly expected that he would be the candi-
 date taken up by the governors friends
 as his successor in the executive office.
 That he has strength. eonsidera ble
 strength, Is not to be denied. Mir Hudson
 is said to have, perhaps, one of the best
 political machines in the control of any
 man in the state today. Hundreds of ap- pointees as oil and fertilizer inspectors
 get their commission from him; he stands
 well, too, with the farmers of the state
 for services rendered. They have shown depreciation in strongly defending him
 in connection with the proposal now pend-
 ing in the legislature. having passed the
 house, to make thorough investigation
 of his department to determine the na-
 5ure and extent of the service it is rem dering the state It was the farmer vote in the committee, it is said, which amended the resolution so as to bring it back to the house with the appearance that the investigation was being ordered at Commissioner Hudson's request.
 MT Hudson is still considering the question of entering the race for gover- nor. He is expected shortly to make some definite announcement one way or another. There are a few candidates for the office of commissioner of agriculture who are anxiously awaiting his decision. Among them are J. D. Price of Coonee, former state senator, and J. J, Connor of Barlow. former president of the State
 Agricultural society. Both of these are eager for the fight, but they don't know
 much more about when they are going
 to be permitted to begin the game than do the candidates for governor who are l waiting on Mir Smith.
 Smiths Friends Silent
 Whether the. Smith following is holding off from Hudson that their support of 1 him may not look too much like . porit- l ical deal. or because they think he has
 not developed the strength hoped for, is subject of interesting speculation.

GULF COAST IS
 COOLEST RETREAT
Resorts Are Crowded and Cool Gulf Winds Drive Away
 the Heat

San Antonio, Texas, July 16.-(Special) The hot wave which has swept over the north with such an incnerating effect in nome localities, has brought about an un- usual condition among the people in the ratteY of spending their vacation. Tn- eusnal as it may seem, thousands have come south to find a cool retreat Just now. the pleasure resorts along the gulf coast are crowded to overfowng with people from as far north as Chicago and St Paul. Such splendid hotels as those at Galveston, Rockport. Corpus Christi, Port Levacca and Port O'Connor are crowded to overfowtng and reservations run several weeks ahead People who have never gone to the coast before have sought the waters of the gulf as a place to keep cool. The many bays along the Texas coast sheltered completely from any possible ravage by the sea make this an exceptional winter and summer re- sort.
 These bays will form the links of the inter-eoasta canal when that work is completed and those familiar with condi- tons are looking forward to time when the entire coast from Galveston to Point Isabel will be one continuous bathing beach. The hot waves which have swept over the greater part of the United States , this summer have emphasized most de- cdedly the advantage of the gulf coast as a place to escape the almost unbear- able heat of summer. While the ther- mometer in many places has climbed above the 100 mark and daily averages have been near 90, the gulf coast has recorded less than 100 at the highest and the daily average below 90. Added to these conditions is the fact that at all times the several hundred miles stretch of beach has been famed by the gulf breeze, which makes the shade delightful even during the hottest hours of the day. It is evident that the experience of the Atlantic coast in the matter of people escaping the heat by fleeing to the sea shore will be repeated along the entire gulf coast, particularly at that season of the year when temperatures inland are almost unbearable.

CANDDATESARE
 STILL GUESSING Becoming Thick as Peas in
 Georgia JOE BROWN AGAIN
It Seems Quite Likely That He Will Run for Goyernor-Murphy Candler Is Quiet But 
 Popular

Atlanta, July 16.--fSpecial.) )-Candidates paign get down to some definite basis. Following his election as senator, Cover nor Smith said he would resign about December 1. Now it is reported that he expects to tender his resignation upon the adjournment of the general assembly. Again it is said he may resign within the next few days and take up his senatorial duties In Washington because of the im- portance of pending national legislation and the value of every democratic vote.
 It is known that he has been in frequent consultation with close friends upon this subject and that he is endeavering to figure out just what would be the most advisable course for him to pursue. No one would like to know just what that course Is going to be more than those who are seeking to fall heir to his shoes when he leaves the executive office.
 Only two of these have as yet public ly anonunced their intention-former State Treasurer ]. Pope Brown of Hawkins vile and Judge Richard B. Russell of the state court of appeals better known in his former campaigns as Plain Dick Russell Judge Russell has stated that he expects to. go upon the stump short ly in advocacy of his candidacy.
 Browns Friends Urgent
 Announcement of his candidacy is ex- pected within the next day or two from former Gov. Joseph NJ. Brown, who, 1t is now practically assured, will make the race. With the encouragement he has received not alone from among his own friends, but from many former support CTS of Governor Smith, it is difficult to see how he could possibly remain out of the race. His opponents, however, have been trying in every way to discourage his candidacy, and publication of the fact that he was voted for in the state elec- tion last year after. having been defeat ed in the primary in the effort to make 1t apparent that he ran as an independ- ent candidate, has been followed by publi- cation of the statement that he would probably not be in the race.
 l It is pretty well settled, however, that l Governor Brown is going 10 run, and | there is not a man in Georgia posted on state politics but knows that he had nothing whatever to do with the use of his name in the regular election of 19lo l His name was presented in that election at the instigation of Thomas E. Watson who bitterly hates Hoxe Smith, and who did it for that reason and not because | he sought or hoped to elect Governor | Brown, though undoubtedly he would ] have been glad to have seen Smith de | feated.
