the initiation. Many of the novices at
times thought they were going west. as

capable staff of o-workers Ed Rome,

Hoke Smith VIII Be Needed in the
Next Senate to Fight Federal Control
OF Franchise in the Southern States

Hoke Smith ranks high in the
councils of his party; he fills stray
etc positions on the committees, es-
pecially the one that relates to the
new enfranchisement, being the
ranking democrat there, and can
render the best service. He is au-
thor of the Georgia franchise law,
and can defend and maintain it far
better than any other Georgian. II
he is defeated his successor will not
be placed on this committee; it will
be the next ranking democrat, who
may be a northern man, where ne
groes are few and whose election
may depend on Cancellation of the
negro vote.
The democrats of Georgia will do
we'll to exercise sound judgment in
selecting a senator in this critical
time to defend the southern point
of view, and who is fortunately To-
Gated on the stragetic point of van
tage of the franchise committee
that will have this question under
control. Hoke Smith is now on that
committee, and can not be displac-
ed. Neither Watson or Dorsey can
be on that committee. Let us look
to the future, forgetting the ami
mosities of he past that so easily
beset us, turn our eyes to the dawn
ing of the morrow, and have on
guard at the gateway of our ballot
box the man most capable of serving
us effectively-Hoke Smith.

LET MR.. DORSEY
DEBATE OR QUIT
From the Macon News)

By rather remarkable coinci-
dence the Atlanta Constitution and
the Macon Telegraph pretend sim
ultaneously to have reached the con-
clusion that Cliff Walker is a strong
err gubernatorial candidate than John
Holder, and they are therefore call
ing upon Mr.. Holder to withdraw
from the race in order not to divide
the conservative vote of the state
and make possible the election of
Hardwick.
Do the Constitution and the Tele-
graph imagine for one moment that
the intelligent voters of Georgia will
not at once ask the very obvious
question why these same newspapers
do not at the same time demand
that Governor Dorsey retire from
the senatorial race so as not to di-
vide the conservative vote between
himself and Hoke Smith.
We repeat that this is no time to
send cratic or incompetent men to
the senate of the United States. If
Dorsey is unwilling to retire from
the race and thus make the defeat
of Watson doubly certain, then he
owes tito the people to accept the
open challenge extended him by Sen
ator Smith to meet him in joint de-
bate and let the voters judge of
their relative ability.

given all their money back; other
wise they will get 70 per cent of what
they paid in illegal cigarette tobacco
taxes.
Some May Resign.
1t also developed Tuesday that a
few months ago the commission paid to
the special tax Investigators was re-
duced from 20 per cent to Is per cent.
1t was found that some of the investi-
gators were making money too fast"
as one state official tersely expressed
it. Their commissions sim hold good,
however, and although their operations
have been somewhat restricted of late
their authority to collect taxes on
commission is unimpaired One or
two of them have expressed their de-
termination to resign, it is understood,
as the result of the storm of protest
that has arisen all over the state.
The collection of the cigarette to-
bacco tax by means of the special
tax Investigators was decided upon
by the governor in contravention of
the opinion of Comptroller General
Wright and it was upon the ruling
of the comptroller general that the
decision to make refunds was final
ly reached. The comptroller general
ruled that merchants selling cigar
cite tobacco were not liable for the
tax if they had not sold or given
away cigarette papers.

The recent ratification of the
woman suffrage amendment to the
constitution of the United States by
Tennessee has injected a question
into future legislation vital to the
South's peace and prosperity and
political existence.
This amendment received but
scant support from the South, due
to the dangers and possibilities which
lie latent in it's enactment. The
question looms large, "Who Shall
Be the Masters in Georgian" 1t
places this franchise squarely under
federal control at critical time in
the history of our people-when
danger of republican domination of
the government is impending; when
sentiment in the North is being de-
veloped in favor of reducing our
representation; when that party has
named as its leader in this state the
notorious negro Henry Lincoln
Johnson, and hopes. by enfranchis-
ing vicious, ignorant negro women,
to again rule Georgia.
This is no time to retire vet
eran of a hundred battles, and sub
stitute novice in the battle line.
We need the ablest men we have,
men trained, experienced and capa-
BILE, to meet the republicans on any
question. This is not the time to
rock the boat; this is not the time to
put novices at the helm; this is not
the time to let personal animotisy
and hate control.

REFLECT SENATOR SMITH.

(From the Moultrie Observer
Senator Smiths reelection is, in
the opinion of the Observer, one OF
the paramount things involved in the
muchly mixed political situation IN
Georgia this year. The senior sena-
tor from Georgia is one of the most
valuable men this state has had IN
Washington in many years. We say
this in all good conscience, knowing
that there are many good people
who dislike Senator Smith, and VIII,
for one reason or another, oppose
him for reelection. Senator Smith
has some very bitter enemies made
in hard-fought battles of the past,
and these wage endless warfare on
him, charging him with all kinds
of crimes and misdemeanors, bad
faith, lack of loyalty, lack of party
fealty, etc. Despite these charges,
brought in bitterness and strife, we
believe if the voter who earnestly
desires to serve his state in the best
manner possible will take the rec
ord of Senator Smith since he has
been in politics in Georgia, careful
ly analyze it, weigh that which has
been of public benefit and in the
interest of the people against that
which has been selfish and faction
al and unworthy they will find
great preponderance on the side OF
his able, honest and unselfish ser
vice in behalf of the state he rep
resents.

HOKE SMITH SUPPORTERS
PLEASED OVER REPORTS

ATLANTA. Ga.-The collapse of
Governor Hugh M. Dorsey's candi-
dacy in North Georgia is reflected
in the rising tide of confidence that
pervades the headquarters of U. S.
Senator Hoke Smith. This, in a nut
she'll, summarized the senatorial sit
uation today as it appeared follow
ing recent developments. The optim-
ism of the Smith people is no less
pronounced than the dismay of the
Dorsey men. 1t is quite as apparent
as the uneasiness of the Watson
supporters. From every section of
the state-North Georgia, Middle
Georgia and South Georgia-come
the same reports that the people
are turning to Senator Smith as the
man best qualified to represent them
in the next senate, when questions
of great moment, especially to the
South, will come before congress,
and men of big brain and experience
in legislative halls will be needed
to combat the able and resourceful
republicans who will represent that
party in the state. They realize that
1SOISId HSSuS ana IHuSC SeHQ Eedl
statesman.
Concerning Governor Dorsey's re-
ception in his old home county, the
following statement was issued from
Hoke Smiths headquarters:
"The Smith campaign headquar-
tiers is encouraged to point of jub-
ilation over what they conceive to
be the utter collapse of Governor
Dorsey's candidacy-a collapse that
is accentuated by the dismay that
pervades the Dorsey following. This
spirit of gloom is reflected by the
offer of bets at two to one that the
governor does not carry Fayette, the
county of his birth and boyhood.
"While the governor was accord
ed an attentive hearing by the three
or four hundred citizens who heard
the opening gun of his campaign re-
ports received by Smith headquar-
tiers remove every doubt as to the
character of his strength in Fay
cite. While he has many warm per-
sonal friends who are proud of his
success in politics his supporters in
the county are in the minority-a
fact accentuated by their unwilling
ness to cover the two to one money
that is being freely offered against
his carrying Fayette."
