SIaton Followers Look With Sus-
picion on Dual Candidacy of
Hardwick and Fielder for Seat
Made Vacant by Bacon's Death.
Smith Faction Can Not Seek Both
Scholarships Without Bitter
War With the Opposition.
, Governors Race in Doubt.
BY JAMES 3. NEVlN.

There be wars: and rumors of wars
raging hitler and yon. in respect OF
two Georgia Scholarships; there also
be near wars, and rumors of near
wars. perhaps. but thus far two war
riJrs alone stand forth ready to ~
battle under clearly defined Hays
Congressman Thomas w Hamwick
who aspires to Senator Bacon's I'M
expired term in the Senate, and Sen
ator Hoke Smith, who aspires to sue
coed himself.
True. Attorney General Fielder has
placed himself lin the hands OF lis
friends" and says he Will be in the
fight when the same is well on, and
true moreover, Governor Slaton also
may be there-either battling for the
lmeXpred Senatorial term or the full
term, as the case may be.
At this precise stage of the pro-
ceedings. nevertheless, there are only
two warriors in sight-the Congress
man and the Senator, aforesaid
The "lfs" and "Ands" of 1t.
To be sure
IL Fielder and Hardwick both run
IL sla.on runs for Bacon's term,
or
If slaton r ms for Smiths term,
II Slatol doesn't run at all, or
If West runs to succeed himself.
or
If West retires. and some other
South Georgian runs, or
II West and some other South
Georgian run. or
II Joe Brown
There has been much invoking Of
peace here and there of late. Well
meaning and kindly disposed persons

face II things.
Peace lis possible. of course-but
peace is not remotely probable.
Why?
Because peace is not to be achieved
on a basis that is perfectly fair to all
parties concerned. That's why,
Most any highwayman you meet
perhaps. will agree to solemn peace
pact-provided you deliver TO said
hfghwayman your watch. your chain
your purse, your loose change ana
your scarf pin-and let said highway
man go unmolested,
Here's One Way, But
DO Won think a peace pact might be
agreed ,inon i'm Georgia between the
Slatonites ANA the Smithites, say. on
Inc following basi
Tet SIaton have the full-term SEN
otorsbin lei West have the short
term Senatorship, and let Little Joe
have the GoVernorship again.
No doubt the Slatonites would
agree, vociferously enough, to peace
pact at once So bewitching and SC
nieful hui would the. Smithites

Not SO as YOU might notice it,
even leaving out the Little Joe" end
