sued no challenge to Senator Hoke
Smith for a series of joint debates
Mr.. Watson declares further in his
statement that he will not name any
friends to meet those named by Sena-
tor Smith because I declined to be
placed in the attitude of attacking
the Democratic party and resigning
to him the position of being it's only
champion"
IF, however" concludes Mr.. Wat
son in his statement, Senator Smith
thinks I should be answered and be-
l1eVes that nobody but himself can
do it, he can send me a challenge
through his friends, and then the
situation will be altered
Doesn't Speak to Smith
challenged Senator Smith to meet
him in debate was made in a news
dispatch from Tennille, published on
the front page of the Atlanta Con-
st1tut1on on Friday morning, July 80,
Mr. Watson was later quoted as
having said in his speeches that he
wanted to meet the senator in debate.
Immediately upon reading the dis
patch from Tennille in the Constitu-
ton Friday morning, Senator Smith

he had received no challenge, but
that he was ready to meet Mr.. Wat

Tense of the record of the Democratic
party.
; On Monday, August 2, Senator
Smith issued second statement,
saying he had received no challenge
from Mr.. Watson, but to make his
position perfectly clear he had ap-
pointed Felix Jackson, of Gaines
vile, and William Schley Howard, of
Atlanta, to represent him in arrang-
ing for a series of debates in. the
event Mr.. Watson cared to name two
friends to confer with them Mr.
Watson's statement to the Georgian
correspondent is his answer to Sem
ator Smith.
An interesting feature Of MFR. Wat
sons statement in the Georgian is his
declarations:
"Et should be known In this
connection that Senator Smith
and have not been holding per-
sona1 relations with each other
during the last twelve years. He
docs not speak nor write to me,
therefore any discussion between
the two is necessarily q matter
which cannot be adjusted with
out the intervention Of mutual
friends"
notwithstanding this statement,
Mr. Watson declares he will not name
two friends to meet with Senator
Smiths friends to discuss arrange
ments for a joint discussion as the
situation now stands.
Mr.. Watson's statement, as pub
lished by the Georgian, follows:

the statement, in writing up the
conference, that the governor
was unanimously requested to
run, and this deliberate MIS-
statement of the facts made 1t
necessary for me to publish a
correction, which correction SUBJ
sequenT1y was acknowledged by
the Constitution to be the
truth.
GAS to my friendship for Gov
ernor Dorsey, which you try to
question, lot me say that those
who advised him not to run were
better friends and gave better
advice, In my honest Judgment,
than those who pushed him into
the race.
SIT Is apparent to the state
that the gentlemen urging Gov
ernor Dorsey against his better
Judgment, to enter the race were
actuated more by hatred Of Sem
ator Smith than by friendship
for Governor Dorsey.
"The inevitable result Of his
entrance will be to divide the
opposition to Thomas z. Watson
and open the way to his election,
which would be a calamity upon
the state, and which would for
ever destroy Governor Dorsey's
influence. ~
"As for my reelection to the
house Of representatives in

is put in, jeopardy by the stand

quences of the situation In which
the great state Of Georgia has
been placed by the unfortunate
entrance Of Governor Dorsey
into the senatorial race.
