SLATON. Slaton Sweeps The State; Wins 9 In 139 Counties ® » . Most Overwhelming Victory Ever Re corded by a Gubzrnatorial Candidate » Sl Hon. John M. Slaton was proclaimed Governor of Georgia Wednesday, his victory being the most overwhelming ever recorded by a candidate for Governor where there was any opposition at all. Out of the 146 counties in the state 139 of them are credited with having gone for Slaton, the other seven being devided between his two opponents, Joe Hill Hall and Hooper Alexander. Not only did Mr. Slaton carry Alexander’s home county, Dekalb, by 285 votes, but also won his home precinct, Decatur, by 54 votes, The latest official returns so far give Alexander only two counties, Chattahoochee and War€, and some of the morning papers give him only one county— \Ware. Ha'l carried Baker, Bibb, Houston, Lee and Macon. The rest of the counties, acccrding to the returns so far received went 1n the Slaton column. # Out of a popular vote of 150,000 it is estimated that Slaton polled 100,000 votes. ’ ~ (Cream is tainted because the milk is not always procuced under g conditions that are favorable, such ' as a poorly ventilated barp, cows not bedded become more or less - covered on hindquarters with mea nure, 7 Let your horses take tleir tim¢ ¥ the first hour.
