Georgia Politics Centered on Brown Smith Feud in 1914 Race
The Banner reports Georgia prospects for the 1914 Senate race with Governor Jos Brown possibly challenging Hoke Smith, amid factional tensions. It notes Brown's rise, clemency debates, Bacon's likely reelect, and a quiet governorship contest with figures like T G Hudson and J D Price active. Several railroad and attorney general races loom as factions realign.
