MOST COMPETENT OBSERVERS CUIM DORSEY IS WINNER Foresee Defeat for Hoke Smith And Tom Watson In Geor gia Primary Today A By MARK SULLIVAN Copyright 1920, for The ' Star , s WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-H0k Smith comes up for renomlhalion in the Geor gia primaries today. If h loses, it 'will be another example of the fatality which has pursuea those "senators who opposed Wilson on the' league of Na tions. The best Judgment of observers in Georgia is that the very hot primary fight that has been going on for the last two or - three.; months hasy rather gone against the senator. Hoke Smith is one of the oldest fig ures in our public life, having been a Cabinet member as long ago as Cleveland's Administration. He has been Governor of his State " twice, and is serving his tenth year, in the Senate. All Washington supposed he was se cure in his seat, but during the past year and a half he became conspicu ous as a critic of Wilson, and as an advocate of , even the Lodge reserva tions to the league of nations; and during the last "six months the exigen cies of Georgia' politics have whip sawed him into a position where he is under the fire of both the anti-administration Democrats and the pro administration democrats. His initial mistake, last April, was to ask the people of Georgia to in struct for him as a "favorite son" candidate for President on' an anti administration basis. Mitchell Palmer had entered the State as a candidate on a platform of - wholehearted indorsement of the administration a.nd ; all ' its policies. Hoke Smith became thoroughly iden tified with the anti-administration faction in the State. Then various complications followed. Including the entry of the spectacular Tom Watson. Watson ran on a -much more violent ly anti-administration . platform than Smith's was. The result left Smith In- a middle ground, with . the whole hearted enemies of the administration for Watson and its' wholehearted friends for Palmer. The same situation is duplicated in these- present Senatbrial - primaries. Tom. Watson Is again running for Sen ators on": a; platform''' "Which euits. - the UntlT. ' an--Wiload-mrt-ieaTi hearted friends of Wilson ;and the ad ministration, .having 'become djsgustedJ with Smith; . are backing. Gov Hugh M. Dorsey on, a platform of flatfooted support vof the democratic adminis tration and the principle of the league of nations;, as Indorsed by the San Francisco convention. - ' : The most competent observers in Georgia believe that Dorsey is likely to win, and that Smith Is likely to suf fer . the fate Qt, Gore,. Reed, Vardaman, and other' democratic senators -who have been heretics to Wilson's policies. The outcome of . these Georgia pri maries will be watched with some curiosity by politicians for Us heart ing on the feeling of the people as to the league of nations. There Is some- evidence in various spots throughout the, country that public indorsement of" Wilson's position on the league of nations, . at least -in democratic communities, is stronger than has ; been , commonly supposed. Hard Fought Campaiarn ATLANTA, Ga Sept. 7. One of the hardest fought political campaigns in Georgia's history came to a close to night with four men seeking the demo cratic nomination to the .United States senate in tomorrow's primary election, four Seeking the gubernatorial nomina tion and scores of others contesting for other states offices, as well as eight congressional races. United States Senator Hoke Smith, a candidate for re-election, Is opposed by Governor Hugh M. Dorsey, Thomas E. Watson, publisher and author,- and John R. Cooper, Macon attorney. Candidates for governor ; are W. R. LtowU, Atlanta attorney. Former United States Senator Thomas W. Hard wick, Clifford Walker, former state .attorney general, and r John N.

Cooper; a well, known south "Georgia lawyer, has a "wet" plank in Ills platform. : H Interest In the campaign had been heightened by the stand taken against Watson and Hard wick by various American, Legion posts which have at tacked their war records.
