There were those who saw, or

withdrawal a possible boost for W.

borne, Of Savannah, and John T.
Boifeuillet. of Macon, are quite as
confident as ever. however.
Tie truth of the matter is. the
situation seems TO be as much at sea
now as it was Saturday, except for
the fact that Mr. Howell's withdrawal
has served to clear up the atmos-
phere so far as he is concerned.
Some observers are taking Mr..
Howeirs withdrawal to mean, espe-
cially with respect to his statements
with regard to South Georgia, that
Governor Slaton likely viii be a can
didate for the Senate against Sena-
tor Hoke Smith, but that view is not
taken by a number Of equally OBJ
servant ones.
Speculation Of Future.
Indeed MT Howell refers to the
Immediate successor and not the
unexpired term success. and, besides,
1t is pointed out that Governor Sia-
ton. in the event he chose to run for
Mr.. Bacon's term. could very well
take the position that South Georgia
might as well enter a candidate
against Senator Smith as against
Governor Slaton, assuming that South
Georgia thought itself unquestionably
entitled to one Senatorship
Governor Slaton has not stated
which term he will run for, or wheth-
er he will run at all Congressman
Hardwick is In the race for Senator
Bacon's unexpired term, and it may
be that he will have to defeat Cover
nor Slaton to get in. On the other
hand, It may be that Governor Sla-
ton will oppose Senator Smith. THAT
point does not seem to have been
settled so far in the Governors mind.
