SENATE RACE
Eiolse Sn1itt Said To Be Latest
addition To
List

ATLANTA, Sept. 30-It is stated
chat three candidates have decided TO
ehte rthe race for the United states
Senate To succeed the late Thomas
Il. Watson. They were Judge G. Il.
Howard, Of Columbus; Herbert Clay,
of Marietta, and Hoke Smith, of At
lanUa.
Mir. Smiths entrance in the
race for the unexpired term of the
late Senator Watson was confirmed
Friday when it became Known that
friends Of his had established head
quarters from which TO direct his
campaign,
1t was also learned that Hoke
Smith leaders from several sections
of the state had been in conference
with his Atlanta supporters. This
development added significance to a
reported conference between Cover
nor Hardwick and former Senator
Smith in Washington Friday, and
there appears to be much speculation
as to what effect the certain candi-
dacy Of the former Senator will have
upon The entrance Of Governor Hard
wick into the campaign.
1t was announced Friday by the
executive department that Governor
Hardwick will reach Atlanta Satur-
day morning instead Of Sunday, as
previously stated. Although the
Governor has not given out any eX-
pressica as to who he will appoint to
fill the vacancy left by late Senator
Watson, or whether he will make the
race for the unexpired term in the
Senate himself, it is generally be
lieved by his friends that he will be
in the contest.
Numbers Of kilograms have been
sent to the Governors office urging
that he make the race for the Sen
ate, many of them, it is stated who
admittedly did not support him IN ths
race for reelection as Governor.
