oo,,rR GOVERNOR SETS AT
nrSr RUMORS REGARDING
HIS INTENTIONS.

81 Of His Time and Energies to
H. cherokee County Farm.
IN this season of "watchful wait
.-a" m the part of the politicians
-! Georgia there has been much
~ -nocuIation as to what that quiet
,:t.,o Gentleman up at Marietta
~ has made much political his
.orr had up his sleeve" The inter
.!on j. answered by an interview the
,t,onta constitution sought and OBJ
tainod from him., as follows:
Farmer Governor Jos. NJ. Brown
:. MT now, nor is he prospective,
candidate for the United States SEN
ate
Furthermore than that, as the sit
otion now stands, and as in all
fte1ihood it will develop, he is not
botbering himself about politics,
and seemingly the last thing in his
thoughts is the permitting of him
Golf to become personally involved
IN anv way in the campo gn which
will be run this summer.
Thus may be set at rest the uneas-
inpss of the political dopesters who
for the mast several weeks have been
nnabIe to figure with any amount of
confidence on the approaching cam
naign on account of the uncertainty
surrounding the attitude of ex-GoV-
ernor Brown. In every effort to
work out a solution in the game of
poIitical chess which is now progress
ing some move would finally lead
I'D against the stone wall of the un-
broken silence emanating from the
direction of Marietta.
Practically not day has passed
since the death of the late Senator
Bacon that the query as to what
Governor Browns intentions were
has not been made in some form or
another. The very fact that the for
mer chief executive had spent many
months in the quietude of his farm
in Cherokee county, near the same
spot where his distinguished father
was reaping his grain when he was
advised of his nomination for gov
ernor has caused speculation as to
just what his motive is in thus Sc
Guiding himself really was.
Solely, therefore, with the view OF
being able to tell the people of the
state What might be expected during
the forthcoming campaign from the
only man who ever polled a hun
bred thousand votes for governor a
Constitution representative called on
Governor Brown at his home in Ma
retta.

And the newspaper man found
QUITO his own conviction, at least.
So far as being personally a factor

ma in Georgia this year Joseph NJ.
Brown has been endeavoring to firm
ly and emphatically eliminate him

unless something unforeseen deYel-

nrSt time in many years not be one
OF the storm centers in Georgia poll
tics
Frankly the former governor out
lined to the Constitution man his
movements during the nine months
since he gave up the governors chair.
during that time he has spent months
al time on his farm in Cherokee
county with politics dismissed from
MS mind and the heated discussion
OF political campaigns the farthest
Ihlng from his thoughts.
And, according to Little Joe" he
mas enjoyed life much more during
tneSe past few months in which he
mas pursued the uninterrupted, the
Calm demeanOr of his way than he
