Hoke Smith of Georgia
James A. Edgerton argues that party lines should yield to unity and proposes Hoke Smith of Georgia as a presidential candidate. The piece surveys southern and northern presidents, notes Smith’s record on anti-corporation policy and temperance, and emphasizes his stature, family background, and potential to unite a divided nation despite lingering sectional prejudice. It predicts Smith’s growing national prominence and urges backing for a southern candidate in 1908 or later.
