Royster Royston Record and Americus Times-Recorder note Plain Dick Russell’s rising support across Georgia as he campaigns for governor. Articles quote endorsers including Governor Candler and Rev J J Bennett praising his plaindealing honesty and citizen focus, while editors describe his statewide outreach and strong personal following.
The long political addresses center on Richard B. Russell of Winder as voters weigh manhood over wealth in the gubernatorial race. Russell feeds the people with promises of tax equality, nine months schooling, and state road expansion while opponents Howell Smith Estill and Hoke Smith face scrutiny for moneyed backing. Local papers praise his plain, persistent campaigning and growing county-by-county backing.
Lawrenceville News-Herald reports that Judge Russell led in the 1906 Georgia gubernatorial race dynamics, with grand jury comments praising his judicial conduct and hinting at political aims. It notes Hoke Smith’s later entry and cites prior candidates from Franklin, Walton, Banks, and Tes. The piece frames accusations as political pandering and defends Russell’s early declaration.
