CHALLENGE
FOR FIGHT
SEEN IN
BOON
SIatonites Profess to See Hand
of Hoke Smith, Governors
Ancient Foe, in Move.

While Governor Slaton him
self is reticent about the mat
ter of Congressman Hardwick S
prospective candidacy for the
unexpired term of Senator
Bacon, it unquestionably has
been accepted by the Governor s
friends generally as a direct ehal-
lenge TO combat, and is being
treated accordingly in hotel
lobby gossip and elsewhere.
II is not stating a sensatlonally i'm
| teresting fact to say that there ars
two factions in Georgia politics. one
| Of which is headed by Senator Hoke
Smith and the other is headed by
Governor slaton.
That there never has been any po-
litical love lost between Smith and
Slaton is a statement that viii not
be disputed.
Governor Slaton's friends now are
saying, however that the candidacy
of Congressman Hardwlck plainly Is
deliberate attempt to hunt trou
BILE" and that IT may prove success
full
Blame Senator Smith.
Congressman Hardwick is ad-
mittedlv closer to Senator Smith than
any other person in Georgia. and
while the Senator may not have had
anything whatever to do with start
ing the Hardwick boom, II evidently
may be a hard matter to make the
Slatonites believe II.
The general assumption among po
liticai observers has been that Gov
ernor Slaton was TO be candidate
for Senator Bacon's unexpired term.
and that, therefore, II Senator Smiths
friends let Slaton alone. there would
be small excuse for Slaton to disturb
the serenity of Smiths dreams.
In that event, the State might busy
itself at planting crops and pursuing
the primrose path of peace,
with the throwing OF Hardwick's
hat into the ring, however, the Sla-
tonites see. or think they see, def
mite purpose not to let Slaton alone;
wherefore they are figuring whether
to pick up the gage of battle thus
thrown down.
Sectional Plea Advanced.
The plea has been advanced that
South Georgia must have one Sen
ator. and that. therefore, Slaton. who
halls from Atlanta. as does Senator
Smith. has no business asking for
Senatorship at this time-unless II
be Senator Smiths senatorship.
Maybe SO. say the Slatonites. and
maybe It will come to that-stiil, II
South Georgia must have Senator.
why shall South Georgia not bring
out a candidate against Senator Smith
for the full term, and let South Geor-
gia choose between Smith and that
candidate, wherein a full term in the
Senate is involved. and not mere
short term?
In that event It might resolve itself
into a fight between Senator Smith
| and somebody from South Georgia,
and Slaton against Hardwick, or sla-
| ton against nobody
In other words. anxiously inquire
the Slaton people, why shall 1t be
assumed that North Georgia shall
have only one Senator and that Sen
| ator must be Senator Smith?
Why not ask they, shall It not as
fairly be assumed that that one Sens-
| tor shall be Senator Slaton?
! This arrangement, too. would leave
