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.

It is not expected that the official returns will make much change in the result as shown by the unofficial returns. Reports showed that Wlaket run strong in all parts of the state. He carried many counties in south Cf—i gia which had been clarbied confident ly by the Hardwick forces. He main tained this strength in north Georgia and middle Georgia.

The nhovo announcement will bn read with much sorrow throughout Cherokee county, as Geo. Rucker was well known throughout this county. The Advance is deeply •ed, as it was here that Goo.

This is the plnn favored by Senator Smi’b and he proposes to bring the nues- tion before the senate.

Bush of Mitchell, while W. R McDonald t’1- 1 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.
