Hoke Kmltn la 63.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 2. Governor
Hoke Smith, one of the most pictur
esque figures of the new south, 1.4 to
day receiving the congratulations of
his friends on having reached his 63d
blrthdny. Although recently defeated
for renominatlon as governor of Geor
gia by Joseph Brown, allegedly be
cause of his radical tendencies, Smith
Is still highly popular In Georgia ami
throughout the South, and his admir
ers believe that he will yet receive
higher political place than any he has
yet held.
Smith has been In the public lime
light ever since 1893, when he entered
Cleveland's cabinet as secretary of the
Interior. He was born In North Caro
lina September 2, 156, but moved to
this city when 17 and begun the prac
tice of law at the tender age of 1.
In his early days his office was also
his dining room and his bedroom and

the fseiilty of retting money, s-vt V-
most everything he has undertaken
has turned out financially successful.
He Is credited with making 125.000 a
year at law. Perhaps Smith's most
noteworthy Teat was the way In which
lie built up trie Atlanta Journal, now
one of the best known afternoon pa
pers In the south.
When Smith got hold of the paper.
In 1887. It was near death's door. His
method of building it up was simple,
though somewhat novel. He not only
secured the bent men In sight, but
when 'any one did a particularly fine
piece of work he was sure to find In
his pay envelope the following Satur
day an order for a high-priced suit of
clothes or for something else equally
as satisfactory. One of his city editors
he presented with a fine horse and
carriage. In a few years the Jourmtl
had beon turned Into a fine business
proposition.
Smith's career Is full of similar In
cidents showing his Yankee shrewd
nens, by vhl. h thonph he Is a so.it h
erner he comes honestly, his pater
nal Grandfather having hen a New
:VrVr v.ws -it I"!lnate terms
with Daniel Webster. His father and
Mary Baker O. Eddy, the Christian
Science leader, were cousins. In his
"facial ruggedness, Smith betrays his
Yankee blood.

Prohibition Plays Important Part In
Hot Texas Political Fights.
. Dallas, Texas, Sept. 8. Sweeping
into the Home stretch under whip and
spur, the democratic donkey and the
republican elephant are contesting for
the victory In the ' greatest political
race that Texas has witnessed in years.
For the first time the elephant sees
a chahca of victory and Is making the
race ot his life. Handicapped by a
prohibition plank and confused by the
discord of his trainers, the donkey Is
indlng the track a heavy one. If he
wins. It will not be In a walk, as in
former years. For the first time, the
long-eared inlmal is confronted with
the necessity of running a real race.
The adoption by the democratic
convention of a plank providing for
the submission of the state-wide pro
hibition Issue to a vote of the peqpl
gave the republicans their opportuni
ty. Heretofore the Texas N-epubllcan
party could almost be counted on the
fingers and toes of any normal humr.r!
being. The democratic split over Sen
ator. Bailey's retention in the -senate
created many republican voters oven
night Now. that the republican par
ty has gone on record as opposed to
prohibition, and has nominated Col.
John V.'. Simpson of Dallas, a Confed
erate veteran, as its candidate'for gov
erned, the organization has assumed
respectable rronrrtlrn 411 '
"wets" of the state have flocked to the
republican standard, as a haven of
refuge from the "dry" regime of the
democracy. ;"' ,
The democrats believe they have a
trump card, however, in their platform
Indorsement of a guaranty of bank
deposits law, ' such as has been suc
cessfully tried out in Oklahoma. The
republican state platform ' opposes
this measure, which is highly popular
among the rank and file of Texans.
Any doubt as to the success of the
democratic party in the state election
does not extend to the national ticket.
While there is some enthusiasm for
Taft in the larger cities, "especially
among business men, it is likely that
Bryan's majority will be fully as large
as in former years. The few party
leaders who opposed the nomination
of the Nebraskan are now back in the
fold. Interest in the national election
Is overshadowed by state issues, with
the bitter fight for and against prohi
bltlon the greatest Issue of all.

Fun and Frolic Over and Old Soldiers

Toledo, O.; Sept. 3. After three
days of fun and frolic, the old "boys"
who comprise the official delegates to
the forty-second annual encampment
of the Grand Army of the Republic,
today settled down to business The
opening business session was called to
order In the Valentine theater at 10
o'clock this morning, with Comman

likely that there will be a hot but
good-natured fight over the selection
o a successor to Burton as the head

Among the mttfe-s 'in frr consid
eration are several amendments to the
Miles and regulations of the army,
presented by the parlous department
sncampments. The Ohio department
suggests a permanent Investment
fund, to be under the control of a
board of trustees elected for that pur
pose, and which, would bring about an
Important change In the financial
ionduct of the Grand Army. This
amendment has the sanction of the
Vew Jersey department, with the ex
ception of minor changes. The Penn
sylvania department also concurs In
the proposed measure. .
The department of Oklahoma asks
for an amendment providing that cer
tain .members of the Sons of Veterans
be admitted to all Grand Army meet
ings. The department of Missouri ad
vocates an amendment allowing posts
with less than 15 members to hold
their stated meetings quarters. If two
hlrds of the members so decide.
