Hjr } ?
i Mwiiloi Hoke Smith's Reasons for
Supporting New Jersey Governor
That He Is Superior in Ability,
Bent Chance and Is a Southern
jp Man of Right Type.
In an interview authorized Saturday,
United States Senator Hoke
Smith of Georgia makes his position
? It, Vila a r\ vr\nnnv r?f tho 71.11116
of Woodrow Wilson for Democratic
, president.
Senator Smith gives three reasons
why he favors Gov. Wilson's candidacy?because
Gov. Wilson Is without
a superior among the candidates;
because his prospects of eloction are
the best; and because he is a Southern
man, almost a Georgian, and nls
wife is a Georgian.
"He is today by far the strongest
candidate for the presidency," says
Senator Smith.
"In every State he has powerful
support."
"Everywhere Gov. Wilson is the
leading candidate."
President Taft will certainly be
renominated by the Republicans, according
to Senator Smith; and Mr.
Taft's nomination leaves a heavy disaffected
Republican insurgent vote
In Wisconsin, Minnesota and tho Dakotaa,
Nebraska and Kansas to vote
for Wilson, in addition to all the
Democratic votes in those States.
"I believe that the indorsement of
Georgia will make his nomination
certain, and that his election will
follow," 8ay9 Senator Smith.
Here is his authorized intorview
In part.
"Several weeks ago I reached the
conclusion that the Democratic national
convention should nominate
Gov. Woodrow Wilson. I reached
this conclusion In spite of my person*
Hi attachments to another candidate.
?? T 1 I?# 4.1 J 4^,-, 4V. ~
J uai ueiuie iu? ucu-gaioa iu tuc
Democratic national convention wore
selected in Oklahoma, I was urged by
friends there who knew my views to
express in an Interview my conviction
that Gov. Wilson should be nominated.
I did so primarily to aid his
cause in Oklahoma, where I had
many friends, owing to the fact, in
part, that the Oklahoma strip was
opened under my administration as
i.ecretary of the interior, and really
believing at the time that Gov. Wilson
would receive the indorsement
of Georgia without a sorious contest.
Now that a contest Is on, while desiring
to avoid taking part in local
politics in Georgia, I feel that I
should give my reasons for believing
that Georgia Democrats should support
Wilson.
First. Ho is certainly without a
superior in ability among the candidates,
and from him we may justly
expect an administration unsurpassed
in its service to the people.
"Second. His prospects for election
are the best.
"Third. In his nomination and
election we have the opportunity to
place in the White House a Southern
man, reared partly in Georgia, almost
himself a Georgia, but one descended
from a line of ancestors who have
lived and worked In Georgia, thereby
honoring our State and at the same
time serving the best interests of our
country.
"Gov. Wilson was called to a professorship
at Princeton; he bocamo
the president of Princeton, one of the
great universities of America. After
a splendid administration as the
president of this collogo he was called
by the Democrats to carry their
standard bearer as a candidate for
governor of Now Jersey. The 3tate
&ad been largely Republican for
many years. By his power to present
Democratic principles to the peoplo
lie won them in thousands and carried
the State Democratic by an overwhelming
majority. His discussion
of Democratic truths during this campaign
and his subsequent wonderful
administration as governor won the
admiration of the voters everywhere.
He is today by far the strongest
eandldate for the presidency.
"Do we wish a Southern man nominated
for the presidency? If so, we
should lay aside personal feeling, 1
quit wasting support on a man wiio
is not really in the race, and give
our support to the one Southern man
. who can be nominated, and that man,
?very impartial person must concede
is Wood row Wilson.
'It is equally true that no candidate
offers to the Democratic party
such prospects for succes as Gov.
Wilson. The hold that he has al- j
ready taken upon the people In all
the States Is evidence of his popularity
and of hts strength.
"President Taft will be renominated.
At leaet half of the Republicans
of Wisconsin, Minnesota, the Dakota*,
Nebraska and Kansas prefer
Roosevelt or La Follette to Presides*
Taft. This places those States
In -a condition where Gov. Wilson
wilt not only pull the Democratic
vote, bat a large portion of the RepuMltaa
strength which Is dlssatlsmm
fled with President Taft.
"Senator Meyers, the Democratic
senator from Montana, gives tho
same account of his State. Senator
Chamberlain, tho Democratic senator
from Oregon, assures us that Gov.
Wilson Is our most available candidate
In Oregon and Washington, and
Senator Newlands tells lis tho samo
thing of Nevada and California.
"These being the facts, how can It
be doubted that Gov. Wilson furnishes
the hope for the Democratic
party In the coming contest. He Is
thoroughly sound on the tariff, but
we cannot make the tariff alone tho
Issue. President Taft has abandoned
tho Payne-Aldrlch bill and Is himself
recommending tariff reduction as
a result of suggestions from his tariff
commission.
Gov. Wilson has given an administration
in Now Jersey full of progressive
work in behalf of govern-,
inent by the people and human
rights. Ills record in these respects
appeals to the people throughout the
entire country and places him In a
position to be far stronger than a
candidate who makes his race with
nothing In hla record support of tariff
legislation.
"President Taft having mado the
fight against Roosevelt has gathered
the conservatives around him and
they will not quit him. He has,
however, alienated at least one-third
of his party, who are insurgents.
While Gov. Wilson has stood squarely
for constitutional governments, for
adherence to law and for a representative
government, his record still
appeals to a large majority of the
Republican insurgents from whom
the Democrats must except many of
their recruits. There is also a large
independent vote of college-bred
men, and to them Gov. Wilson appeals
as a candidate.
"Without going further it must be
seen that to him we shoi Id naturally
turn as the Democrat who can gain
a national victory. In many respects
I admire President Taft, but I do
intensely desire to see a Democrat
elected president. I believe it will
be for the best Interests o.f our people
and I am convinced that Woodrow
Wilson is the man to win. tie can
poH as many votes as Harmon In
New York and Ohio. He Is stronger
than Harmon everywhere else. He
can poll as many votes as Clarke
west of the 'Mississippi. He is much
stronger than Clarke east of it.
"I cordially shall support him and
hope that the Democrats of Georgia
will vote for him because I believe
that the endorsement of Georgia will
make his nomination certain, that his
election will follow, and that the benefits
to which I have referred will
come to our people."
Veterans of the I>ost Cause.
Back of the pomp and spendor that
clothed the reunion or the Confederate
Veterans at Macon lies a very
simple yet deeply beautiful sentiment,
says the Atlanta Journal.
These soldiers of the sixties, grown
gray and getting fewer and fewer as
the years roll by, wherever they gathor
rekindle and revive the memories
of a glorious past in which they were
the chief actors. It is the human
chords they touch in our hearts that
make their reunions sacred to every
one of their descendants.
As the Journal says a Crusader's
armor is potent still to stir us with
the glory and the ideal of a cenfiict
of which we remember little save
that men were brave and did great
deeds. A rusty flintlock or a tattered
flag of Colonial times quickens us
with a new sense of the life our forbears
led and of the nation they
brought forth. But here among us,
in our very homes, we have the living
heroes who fought and suffered
and then came home back from war
to hope and toll that this generation
might be prosperous and free.
Humanity Is greater than all history
because it Is fro-m the former
that history is made. The Confederate
Veterans' reunion at Macon
thus the source of thoughts and sentiment
that bring straight home to ns
the nobility of which men are capable
in their high moiqents. Thes^
are the warriors that taught the
world new lessons of hardihood and
love of native land. They are the
heroes of whom the whole South Is
proud, and who will nover cease to
have our love and admiration because
they richly deserve it. The world
haB never produced truer or more
valiant men than they proved themselves
to be.
? ?
Considering that the present pres
Idcntial contest is becoming notorious
for tho bickerings, charges and
counter charges some candidates aro
making It might be well to prohibit
presidential candidates writing manifestoes
or making speeches. Also
any and every man having his eye on
some high political office should abstain
from all correspondence.. Letters
have an ugly hnb!t of coming into
the open when least desired
| Wherever anything like a full vote
was polled In Oeorgia on Wednesday
Wilson won. He carried the cities of
Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, Macon,
and others, but he lost in tho country,
where the farmers were too
busy to vote, and the small vote that
was polled was controlled by the
heelers about the small towns, who
no doubt were well paid, as the Underwood
foil b seemed to have plenty
of money.

RESCUING VICTIMS
MANY FLOOD REFUGEES TAKEN TO
SAFE PLACES
MANY REPORTED LOST
Probably Over One Hundred and Fity
Thousand People Are Already
in the Concentration Camps and
the Work of llcscuc Continues as
Iiapidly as Conditions will Permit.
Fightln-* against time and the
rushing flood waters of the Mississip
pi River scores of relief parties today
succeeded in bringing in refugees by
the hundreds to the different points
between Raton Rouge and Natchez,
still above the water. Many lives
have been lost in Northeast Louisiana.
Nearly every incoming boat Is loaded,
mostly with womeu and children,
and the thrilling tales of adventures
in the swift currents from the Torras
crevasse, which to-night was reported
3,000 feet wide, were only repetitions
of previous days.
The United States army officers are
actively engaged in directing affairs
and nothing is left undone that can
be done to get the hundreds of people
yet remaning in the stricken district
to places of safety. It Is estimated
that more than 150,000 persons are
in the concentration camps.
Stories of dwellings and cabins being
swept away with their occupants
are told every day, while to-day a farmer
coming into New Roads told of
an entire negro family, the father
excepted, being swept away with
their cabin. A negro baby was swept
from its mother's lap and drowned
when the water rushed through the
front door.
There wore no more breaks in the
main line levees though there were
many rumors and considerable excitement.
The work of strengthening
the embankments is continuing under
the direction of the officers of the
United State engineer corps, who
gove out reassuring reports to-night.
A few more days of Bunshine, they
say, will bo more beneficial than any
thing else.
The flood situation in this city concerns
more largely the scenes of Activity
around the relief headquarters,
where carload after carload of supplies
is being boxed up and shipped
out tQ the regugee camps in central
find Northern Louisiana, rather than
any alarming condition on the river
front.
Stories of distress and suffering
that would reach the hardest heart
are heard everywhere as the floodstricken
inhabitants of the Torras
crevasse are brought on. Eeach party
arriving has some new experience to
relate of how they escaped the flood's
fury and how they were finally rescued,
but practically all of them toll of
havng lost everything but the clothing
they wear.
Most of those rescued near Morganza
yesterday and different points
were negroes, but a number of white
families were brought in. Among
these was Mrs. Ermond Deauvais, the
wife of a well-to-do farmer, who was
compelled to desert her home on Ilayou.
Fordoche several miles west of
here. Mrs. Deauvais is the mother
s\t f nn /-wV% i 1 ^ rnn
VJ 4. IUU UUilVU bis,
Eight of thera lived with hor.
They lost practically everything. The
smaller children were barefoot and
were clad in slips pictaxl up as they
were hurriedly rescued from their
home Mrs. Heauvias was almost crazed
from her experience and groef
over the loss of her savings of a lifetime.
Not a woman or child remains in
Morganza and many of the town's
male population who assisted their
families In getting out of the flood
have not returned. The water has
risen two feet during the past 2 4
hours. It is estimated that 80 people
have been rescued from the section
of Pointe Coupee parish in the
direct path of the Torras crevasso.
Many more remain to be taken out.
The work has been badly handicapped
owing to accidents. One
launch caught fire and before the
flames were extinguished it was put
out of commission. Several other
motor boats were of no use owing to
breakdowns. Eicht of the boats
which havo been used by the rolief
part lea developed leaks and sank.
With all these difficulties 4 00 people
were rescued during the day up to
midnight. They wore all removed
to camps along the Texas and Pacific
railroad south of here. Twenty-live
negro children were brought In early
this morning from Norwood. The relief
party reported that hundreds of
others were still on the levees in Rayou
Fordocho waiting to be rescued.
Capt. Wood, of the battleship Nebraska,
which 1h now at Dayou flara,
received instructions from the Navy
Department at Washington ordering
him to give every possible aid to flood
sufferers. Launches from the battleship
will be sent out Into the flooded
country to-day to assist In the roscue
work.
