SENATOR Smith
FULLY ASSURED
M OPPOSITION
SUCH REPORT FROM ATLANTA
RunOrS of ether Candidates
Have Ceased

Atlanta, Oct 6.-It begins to look
more and more as il Senator HoNe
Smith is to have no opposition for re-
election. From time to time there has
been desultory talk about a candidate
being put out by his opponents, and
rumors have named first one and then
the other of those considered as pos
sible candidates.
But now these rumors have about
ceased and it looks altogether as if
no serious effort would be made to
contest the seat of Georgia's junior
senator.
Senator Smith has his political enc
mics throughout Georgia, as he has
always had; but he also has his
friends, and neither time nor circum-
stances appear to have diminished the
number of them. Certainly it has
mot dampened their ardor.
If there was any truth in the re-
port hiatt Senator Smith had injured
himself politically as the result of the
part he played in the reorganization
of the United States Senate in the
spring or in the matter of the distri-
/ button of the Georgia appointments,
/ it appears to have been entirely over
come by his activities in other dire2-
| tons.
His work on the tariff and currency
bills have evidently materially helped
him Whether or not it is this fact
certain it is that something has quiet
ed the talk of opposition.
Senator Smith seems to have
strengthened himself in the Georgia
lpublic mind that interests in possible
opposition has largely disappeared
Unless there are some Development;
hot now apparent to sturents of the
political may Senator Smith Wi.
have hands-down race next year.
