Senator Hoke Smith will devote
most of next week to speech MAX
ing, beginning Monday with adj
dresses in Terrell and Randolph
counties and concluding Saturday
with meetings in Morga nand Walton
counties. He will spend only one

has been made under the personal
direction of the senator himself.
The speaking dates, as announced
Saturday morning, are:
Shellman, Randolph county, and
Cuthbert. Randolph county.
Tuesday-Senator Smith will spend

ay-Clarkesville, Haber-
sham county; Toccoa, Stephens

ty, and Monroe, Walton county.
The fact that Senator Smith is
going to devote so much time to the
stump is in keeping with the plan
| of campaign he outlined when he
first began his canvass for re-e1ec-
ton.
AS a preliminary to the intensive
efforts that are to mark the latter
days of the senatorial contest, Sen
ator Smith devoted himself during
! the early stages to perfecting a
statewide organization. His organi-
| cation is in excellent shape, and the
reports coming to him from all sec

| give the bulk of his time to speech
making.
