HGKE SMITHS FRIENDS
RUSH TO DEFEND HIM
Deny He helped TO Defeat
Bacon

Atlanta, Ca, March 21.-The friends
of Hoke Smith, and even non-partisaa
Georgia politicians, are vigorously de-
nouncing the charges that Hoke Smith
had anything to do with Senator Ba-
cons defeat, or that he is in any way
responsibility for the failure of Geor.
gians to get as large slices of polit-
ical pie under the new administra-
ton as they had expected.
According to their view of the situa-
ton, Hoke Smiths leadership has
caused him more sacrifices than it has
anybody else. They say that no other
man in national politics in this gene,
alton has paid the price that he has
to be true to his local constituents.
Having held the high office of secrc-
tary of the interior of the United
States, Mr. Smith returned to his
home state and in three of the hard
est and longest state campaigns ever
waged, fought the battles of the COM
mon people at his own expense. He
came back and took the leadership in
Georgia because he fet it his duty.
These facts are now being brought to
the front as the complete answer to
all criticism that the senator has
failed in any way in his duty toward
Georgians.
