Colquitt For Cox by 600
Majority.
Moultrie, Ga. Sept. 6th, 1916—
Golcjniitt county has about 3800
qualified voters. Under favora
ble conditions there will be poll
ed about 2500 votes and Judge
Cox will gat a majority of at
least 600. The undersigned pre
dicted a majority like the above
for two candidates in primary in
1914 and the prediction proved
correet. The conditions were
not so favorable for the candi
dates as they are now far Judge
Cox. ,

Park Will get 60$ of
Worth Vote.
Sylvester, Ga., Sepe. 6th, 1916.—
Judge Park will carry about 60
per cent of Worth county vote
and Cox about 46 per cent. The
size ot the vote depends upon
whether or not weather is favor*
able for farm work, Prospects
are for a moderate percentage of
the vote to be cast.

350 Majority For Cox in
Dougherty
Albany. Ga., Sept. 6th, 1916. —
Dougherty county will give
Judge Cox a majority of 300 to
350. This is the opinion of the
most conservative political ob
servers of the county as well as
of the undersigned.
H. A. Peacock,
Henry Tarver.
Early For Cox by 100
Majority.
Blakely, G., Sept. 6th, 1916.-
Though Early is the home coun
ty of the present Congressman’s
brother and would naturally be
expected to go for Park. Good
political Judges put Early in the
doubtful column with the doubt
in favor of Judge Cox. It is
confidently claimed by conserva
tive Cox supporters that he will
carry the county by 100 or more
majority. Blakely will give Judge
Cox a good majority.

Mitchell County Promises
1400 Majority For Cox
Camilla, Ga. Sept. 6th, 1916.—
To the people of the 2nd district:
We have in Mitchell county
3178 registered voters. We have
had no county primary, and
therefere all county officers will
be nominated on the 12th of Sep
tember. In view of the fact that
every county officer has opposi
tion, this county will poll the
largest vote in its history. To
be conservative, we will poll
2600. In our opinion ft will not
be possible for Congressman
Park to get more than 500 or 600
votes. Any person giving infor
mation other than for political
purposes will verify this esti
mate. We have studied condi
tions carefully and want to as
sure the people of the district
that Mitchell county on the 12th
of September will take care of
her favorite son by a overwhelm
ing majority.

Calhoun Will Give Park
'About 50 Majority.
Arlington, Ga., Sept. 6, 1916.—
Judge Park will carry Calhoun
county by fifty to one hundred
majority, depending upon the
size of the vote polled which will
be small. Judge Cox is gaining
ground every day in the county.
Erie B. Askew,
Baker For Cox by Small
Majority.
Newton, Ga., Sept. 6, 1916.—
From the best information ob
tained from the most conserva
tive and authoritative sources, it
seems that Baker county will go
forjudge Cox by a small major
ity. Cox sentiment is growing
fast in this county and I am sure
that by election day the major
ity will be larger than now ap
pears.
I have been carefully gather
ing information from impartial
sources from all over the district
and I add here to my original esti
mate of 1200 majority for Cox in
the whole district.
Benton Odom.
Thomas For Cox by 500
Majority.
Thomasville, Ga., Sept. 6, 1916.
Thomas county will give Judge
Cox a majority of 500. This esti
mate is conservative. The party
who furnished the Albany Her
ald with statement that Judge
Park would carry Thomas has
always missed his prophesies in
the past by several hundred, and
will do so again.
H. J. McIntyre,
S. W. Davis,
J. M. Austin.
Cairo, Ga., Sept. 6th, 1916.—
Grady county will give Cox a
majority of more than 100. If
sentiment continues to change in
favor of Cox as in the past week
the majority will be much lar
ger.

Winning Candidate Can
Hope For Only Small
Majority i n Miller.
County Doubtful.
Colquitt, Ga., Sept. 6, 1916.—
Miller county will be close. If
Park carries the county, will not
be by larger majority than one
hundred. Cox supporters do not
conceed Miller to Park. Cox is
making splendid gains. If senti
ment continues to change, Cox
will carry the county.

Bainbridge, Ga., Sept. 6.1916.
—At the opening of the cam
paign it was thought that Con
gressman Park would carry the
county by an overwhelming ma
jority but Judge Cox’s campaign
in this county has been one of
the most systematic ever waged
here and the strength of the
congressman has been greatly
cut into. The county is now
close, fighting ground so to
speak, with either one likely to
carry it. Impartial observers
are constrained to the opinion
that the result will be very close
with the majority for either not
excessive.

200 Majority For Cox in
Tift.
Tifton, Ga., Sept, 6th, 1916.—
It is very amusing to notea mes
sage published in the Albany
Herald, together with others
feom over the district, that Con
gressman Park will carry Tift.
Our honest opinion is that Judge
Cox will carry Tift county by at
least 200 majority. We believe
that election day will prove this
to be true.
