Governor Visits Only Those
Counties Where He Has
No Chance, Hoping to
Switch Them to Watson

Notwithstanding the patent pur-
pose and paIpable efforts of Governor
Dorsey's candidacy and campaign TO
weaken Senator Smiths chances of
defeating Thomas E. Watson, every
indication now points to an over
whelming Hoke Smith triumph in
the primary next Wednesday, accord
ing to Smith headquarters at the
Piedmont hotel.
Senator Smith himself shares the
views of the men who are handling
the details of his campaign, and
awaits the verdict Of the voters
with satisfaction born of confidence
1t is tho opinion of the Smith man
ayers and hundreds of others with
whom they are in daily communion
ton, by wire and mail, that Cover
nor Dorsey's method of campaign has
confirmed the charge that he was
forced into the race for no other pur-
pose than to weaken the senator at
the risk of electing Mr.. Watson.
. In his campaign tour of the state,
the governor. it is pointed out, is
visiting only counties in which there
is a fight between Smith and Wat
son, with no hope for his own sue
cess. In a word, the governor is try
ing to rally enough support for his
candidacy to insure the loss of the
counties to Senator Smith. and give
them to Mr.. Watson.
Governor Dorsey spent yesterday,
for instance, in Meriwether, Talbot
and Muscogee counties. He made two
speeches in Meriwether, one at
Greenville, where he was met by
brass band and eight people, and the
other at Manchester.
l. n. Johnson, editor of the Man
chester Mercury, called the Smith
headquarters on the telephone Tues
Visit to Meriwether
Between 800 and 400 people heard
Governor Dorsey's speech-bitter
criticism of Hoke Smith and a lot of
jokes. He admitted the collection of
illegal tobacco taxes and added that
the money would be returned when
the state was financially able to
spare it. He admitted discharging
Frank Grant, the florist at the state
capitol, and giving his job to a ne
gro.
THE governors visit to Meriweth-
err county has not changed the aspect
of things. The race is between Smith
and Watson with the chances
strongly favoring Smith. Such votes
as Dorsey gets will contribute only
to help Watson.

vote that otherwise would be cast

But Governor Dorsey is serving,
and serving as well as he can, tho

paisn in behalf of his own cand1-
dacy, but is combining his energies TO
localities where it is recognized he
is poor third in the race and that
such votes as he gets are votes that
in other circumstances would be

THE AUTO SHOW.

The automobile reigns supreme in
Perth Amboy today. 1t will continue
to hold fun sway for the remainder
Of the week. The auto show which
opened in the Auditorium this after
noon assures this.
Perth Amboy automobile dealers
have been a long time getting together
for a project OF this kind. but when
they did get started they left no doubt
as to their ability to do it right. Tho

for the purpose Of taking care OF
the congestion Of pupils, is the con-
dition OF the streets in tho vicinity Of

a wholesale laying of hagstone or

During the few days that there has
been a thaw this winter the slush and
mud have made the streets in the eX-
.treme northern section of the city next

would suffice to get through.
Another point brought out for the
Hall avenue site IS mai 1t Is SO located
as TO relieve tho congestion at five
schools including Nos. 5, G, s and 0
as well as the Grammar school. In the
last redistricting of that section of the
city for school attendance 1t was
necessary to carry some cases to court
before parents would consent to send
their children to No. 8. so far away
did they consider 1t for the children
to walk. IL that was tho case under
present arrangements, imagine the
trouble that would be caused If the
Board of Education, after building an
addition to No. Q, tried to force still
moro pupils rom sections still fur
lther away to go there.
In connection with this school
question, however. attention Is called
to the new ~parochial school which is
being built In the northern part of The
city by the Slavish Roman Catholic
Church of the Holy Trinity. This
school which is now nearing compile
