Governor Smith Sets Campaign Pace in Waycross and Macon
The governor race heats up as Hoke Smith plans to outline his issues in Waycross and speak in Macon to formally launch the campaign. Brown supporters weigh whether Smith will run on the 1906 or 1908 platform, with issues including restoration law, railroad commission reforms, land purchases at Chattanooga, bond funding for teachers, and troops sent to Walker county. The Waycross stop aims to flip the Waycross labor vote, crucial given ACL rail yard workers there. In Warren County, Smith targets Brown’s two-year-old lead, hoping to shift the labor vote and erode the Brown majority.
