W. .Ton as " eiTfrrfSI n
received by n successful guhemata-
rial candidate in Georgia. Mr, Walk
er carried 114 counties with 294 unit
votes, with a total of 41 counlies and
106 owt votes for Hardwick. Of-ly
five coanties are still missing. 209
unit votes were needed to win.
The smashing victory of Walker
over Hardwick came as a great sur
prise to many political leaders, al
though the managers of the Walker
campaign had isaued repeated state
ments in which they predicted the
•victory by substantially the same
vote as was cast for their -candidate
in the primary.
Returns showed that Walker car
rled every congressional district li
the state. When Richmond coentv
switched over from Hardwick to
Walker late in the night Walker led
in five of the eight counties having
six convention votes He also ca.T:»d
a mujority of the four vote counties,
as predicted in “the final Walker cam
paign statement. When the first re
turns were received Walker took the
lead and he steadily increased thb
lead until he had obtained more than
two votes to one for Hardwick

that the official returns will make

by the unofficial returns.
Reports showed that Wlaket run

carried many counties in south Cf—i

tained this strength in north Georgia

Brown 63 counties to Blalock's 4 4.
Estimated returns from others show
ed Mr. Brown was continuing Tit-
lead in the same proportion. Mr.

over his two opponents, Trox Banks

blind .candidate from Richmond
county, appears easity to have won
the other position on the commission
to succeed Chairman C. M. Candler,
who was not a candidate. Early r e
turns seemed to indicate that the
race was between M. L. Johnson of
Bartow and J. E. Palrmrur of Hall,
but McDonald gradually gained on
them and out of complete returns
from 100 counties at midnight exact
ly fifty of them were in the McDon
ald column while Johnson had 26 and
Palmour 23.
Perhaps the closest race of all is
that for state school superintendent
