RESULT OF THE STATE
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.
Darsey Leads CbrrVblned Opposition
by More Thhn FlVe Thousand
Votes.
The complete consolidated vote in
the race for governor and other
‘stale house officials in last Tuesday’:
primary shows that the popular vote
polhd was 216,889, said to be the
| heaviest of any primary or election
in the state. The reports confirm
; the tremendous majority accredited
to Hugh M. Dorsey, and gives him a
total popular vote of 111,335 votes.
This is a majority of 40,729 votes
over Governor Nat Harris, his clos
est competitor and a majority of
5,764 votes over the combined bal
jl ts cast for Harris, Hardman and
Pottle, the three other gubernatorial
candidates.
The complete figures indicate that
the contest for the thro judgeships
jof the court of appeals will be prac
tically the only one at the conven
tion as none of the candidates have
enough convention votts to win on
the first ballot.
J. J. Brown defeated J. D. Price for
Commissioner of Agriculture by a 1
good safe majority.
Eiocdwoitb, Stephens and George
lead for the three newly created!
judgeships, but neither carried suf-'
ficient counties to assure their nomi
natii n cn the first ballot, and the
succes frl ones will have to be chos
en by the Macon convention.
The overwhelming endorsement giv
en It. E. Davison for Railroad Com
missioner was a tribute to a fine
man and an able officer. To Mr.
Davison, in a large measure, is due
the blocking of certain Atlanta in
terests in trying to form a Highway
Commission at a high salary with aj
possible leaning to highways around
the big cities of the state. Mr. La j
visom is an enthusiastic good roads
man. fair and progressive, and his re 1
eh ction places him on the Highway
C mniissh n, and in him the rura
s clticns have an able officer and
loyal friend.
